A Trip To Magna Grecia ~ The Many Faces Of Southern Italy ~ by Marialena Lioulia - Visiting the southern part of Italy has been a desire of mine for quite some time: I have visited Italy three times in the past twenty years, but never the deep south of Italy. Entering Italy from Greece is not much of a problem, since both air and links can get you across the Adriatic Sea in no time. This time I embarked on a ferry for Italy from the Greek port of Patras - my destination was Brintisi, a 14 hour trip Nov./05 A Woman, A Child, And An Italian Hill Town ~ Taking Off For Italy ~ by Patricia Hill - Last year, after deciding that I needed a break from what had become a stultifying routine of work, household maintenance, and small-town social life, I sold my house and most of my belongings and took my 9-year-old daughter to Europe for eight months. I wanted to expose her to more of the world and its inhabitants than the small corner she was growing up in. I also wanted to grab the chance to spend a lot of time together before she entered adolescence. We spent the month of September in London, and then took off for Italy, where I intended to spend the winter traveling, reading, and just hanging out. Aug/04 Affording to Live in Italy with an Italian Mortgage - Affording to Live in Italy with an Italian Mortgage - It’s all very well mortgage companies in the UK or US telling us that we can re-mortgage out principal residence, release equity and use this money to buy a home overseas if we want to – but what about those people who actually want to live abroad, how can they raise the finance to buy abroad and afford to live abroad? OCt./06 Apartment Hunting in Venice ~ Learning The Ins And Outs Of Renting In Venice ~ By Shannon McGrath - The first inhabitants of Venice were known as the Ligurians and the city and culture they established would spread across Europe and Asia. Venice has to be one of the most beautiful cities to live in but also one of the most difficult, as the infrastructure of the city has been slowly worn away by the elements. This month read about how to look for an apartment in Venice and what you need to know about leases, water, heat and rental agencies. Dec./02 Arrividerci Oporto: an insider's guide to living artfully … and eating well … in Florence - Living in Italy - by Scott McDonagh, You'll remember that we had two goals when we arrived in Florence: to find an apartment and to find a good restaurant. Once we had lodging, in search of gourmet pleasures we went. And we found what I've dubbed with confidence “the best restaurant in the world.” Asilo Nido & Scuola Materna - Education In Italy ~ by Deirdré Straughan - When we arrived in Italy in December, 1990, Rossella was 16 months old. I had been full-time at home with her for most of her life, except for two months of increasingly long hours in a parents' cooperative daycare center at Yale in late 1990, when I needed time to pack up our house and make other arrangements to move. Ross, although the youngest in the group, had been quite happy in daycare; she enjoyed being with other kids. So when we got to Milan, I decided it was time for me to go back to work, and I wasn't worried about her reaction to more daycare. Jan/04 Astray On Italy’s Ravishing Riviera… Real Estate In Italy - Right now, in fact, Lunigiana offers an incredible array of bargains that disappeared elsewhere in Tuscany decades ago. Attractive village houses in good condition are plentifully available for $105,650 to $176,000. If you follow Italian real estate, you’ll know there are no worrying fluctuations in the Tuscan property market — prices continue going up and up and up. By Steenie Harvey Buying Real Estate in Italy ~ A legal Overview - Buying Real Estate in Italy ~ A legal Overview ~ Italy is well known for its red tape and this of course can include property transactions. However it does not mean that the system is worse than others and to some extent it could be considered safer. Generally, there are three steps involved in buying a property: proposal of purchase, preliminary purchase and final purchase. There are certain legal precautions that can be followed throughout each stage to protect your interests and ensure your purchase goes successfully. By Tracey Meagher Sept./05 Cinque Terre - Italy's Traffic-Free Riviera - Cinque Terre - Italy's Traffic-Free Riviera - A sleepy, romantic, and inexpensive town on the Riviera without a tourist in sight. That's the mirage travelers chase in busy Nice and Cannes. Pssst! Paradise sleeps just across the border in Italy's Cinque Terre. [International Living] Cremona, Italy ~ Violin Making ~ by Will Sullivan - Cremona, Italy is located in the north of Italy, near the borders of Germany and France. The sound and beauty of making a great violin are well described in the above article. Will has written a great snapshot of an Italian city most people have never heard of. Nov./03
Dining Out
In Rome ~ Discovering
Rome's Restaurants ~ by Mauri Artz - This is not your typical guide
to dining in Rome. Two years ago, my family and I spent a year living in
Rome’s historical center. Prior to living in Rome, we had visited there
several times. We often followed the restaurant recommendations of travel
books, magazines, and hotel concierge desks. Some of our eating experiences
were wonderful, albeit expensive. Other recommendations weren’t so spectacular.

| Italy In
Winter - From
Rome To Venice ~ By Matthew Atlee - Traveling around Italy in the winter,
so I'm told, is a great idea because the summer crowds are gone and you
have a greater opportunity to see the art and history of the country. The
weather is cool to cold but the sites are great and the food is even better.
If you've always wanted to go but were afraid of the crowds, you should
try Italy in the winter. March/03
Italy's Riviera - Italy's Riviera - Cinque Terre - Italy-9s traffic- free Riviera It’s a Nice Life, But… - Living In Italy ~ by Deirdré Straughan - What would it be like to live in Italy. Most people dream about just that. The great food in the south of Italy, the green fields and beautiful cities of Tuscany and the mountains of the north - all of these locales have attracted foreigners for centuries. But that's how most people see it from a far. Maybe life in Italy would be boring and cramped. The above article explores what it's like to live in Italy from day to day. Oct./03 Living In Italy - Beyond the Illusion - Living In Italy - Beyond the Illusion ~ Italy has never ceased to captivate people from other countries, especially speakers of English. They begin to see their former homes as sunless and dull, their former lives as restricted and puritanical. They see themselves changing in expected ways, becoming perhaps more alive, even hedonistic or, in other instances, more scholarly or more deeply religious. For a few the changes are intimidating, but often the newcomer begins to see Italy as a new kind of home and looks for ways to stay longer or permanently By Ruth Halcomb Mar/06 Living In Italy -Moving to Italy - For those Americans wanting to live in the land of Dante, home of Michelangelo, the birthplace of Columbus, there is good news: unless you want to buy property in the center of a major town, Italy can be a bargain. All it takes is patience and flexibility in choosing a residence. Living In Sardinia - Between Africa And Europe ~ by Emma Bird - It was 10.15pm on a hot summer evening in Sardinia. I had arrived on the island five days previously and had just finished my second lesson teaching English to a small group of adults in a private language school. All 10 of them patiently waited for my boyfriend to show up, refusing to let me hang around in the dark by myself. Then he rang. He was going to be another 45 minutes because of traffic problems. I relayed this back to the students. For the next 30 seconds a frantic conversation ensued between them. Then it was decided. “Tu vieni con noi,” Milena told me, taking me firmly by the arm and marching me towards her car, a white Fiat 500, now 44 years old but still going strong. “You come with us.” No ifs or buts. We would go to the local pizzeria en masse, have food and drink and Mario would collect me there. July/04 Lunigiana ~ Tuscany’s Hidden Gem ~ by Bill Breckon - The scenery, with steep-sided valleys wooded with chestnut and European oak and overlooked by mountain crags and ruined fortresses, is unexpected and breath-taking, yet the unspoilt villages and towns of Lunigiana are close to the sea and the resorts of the Golf of the Poets (where Byron and Shelley stayed) and less than an hour from the marvellous walled city of Lucca and from Pisa airport. And the nearby autostrade take you to Florence in less than two hours.

My Florence ~ But Not At First ~ by Victoria Lucia - To study abroad or not to study abroad? I wrestled with this question on my way to class, in class, and before I fell asleep, only to find that no matter how many times I weighed the pros and cons, the pros emerged victorious. Florence had a reputation for being alive with culture. There would be churches, museums, pasta, debonair Italian men, and enough wine to fill the Grand Canyon. Feb/04 Naples -Falling For Italy’s Raffish Old Rogue ~ by Steenie Harvey - A balmy winter night. I’m drinking wine and scoffing seafood risotto outside a restaurant called Ettore on via Santa Lucia. Somebody is late hauling their laundry in - towels and teacloths flutter like ghostly banners from a washing line strung between two balconies across the street. This is a pure southern Italian cliché - right down to the honking Vespas and neighborhood minstrels. Carrying accordions and a double bass, another three are now preparing to give diners a serenade. Mar/05 Opening A Business In Rome ~One Expatriate’s Observations ~ by Sarah Yeomans - My first impression of Rome was that it was a lawless land, where you could make up the rules as you went along, as long as it didn’t attract the attention of the occasionally alert police officer or government official. Everything around me seemed to reinforce this impression, from the “creative” parking solutions, such as parking on a curb, to the seemingly helter-skelter methods of immigration control. Sept./04
