Re: B&Bs

The phrase 'powerful local figure' says it all. I wouldn't hesitate to file a legal complaint if this was the UK, but seeing that it is Italy (and especially Sicily), you might end up waiting for...

Re: Optical fibre connection

Sorry about this - the issue has been clarified. After over a decade, I still think in terms of doublespeak when most people here don't tend to use it in conversations.

Optical fibre connection

I'd like to ask if any of you have experienced this situation. I live in a block of flats with a courtyard (what the Italians call ringhera or ringhiera). I've had optical fibre internet in my home...

Re: New AI legislation in Italy

New AI legislation in Italy

Does it mean Italy's new artificial intelligence act (2025, no. 1146B) is now in force?

Re: Approval of Scicily bridge

Re: Approval of Scicily bridge

The construction project has been designated as 'spending towards the NATO 5% target'. Good luck to the Italians. I wonder if the proposed bridge will be for both cars and trains.

Re: Spam phone calls

When Skype was around, you could get a virtual landline number. I'm starting to think Italy should probably change its name to Banland (or Bananaland?) - no wonder almost all the Italians I have met...

Re: GIBRALTAR 2024

Coming back to Gibraltar, it may not make any practical difference if you're visiting the Rock for a few days.

I just don't entertain the idea of having to ask foreigners for permission to enter...

Re: GIBRALTAR 2024
