admin — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:41:40 +0000

I’ve had a few emails recently from people who want to move to and work in Italy . Often, it seems, a pleasant holiday in Italy has provoked navel gazing, and lots of ‘life change’ thoughts. Well, here’s something which might help a few people working in programming , web development or web design and other tech jobs turn Italy dreams into reality.

Milan’s Ecopass Suspended from 2nd to 20th August

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 21:47:47 +0000

This year, as in each year since its introduction at the start of 2008, Milan’s Ecopass pollution charging system is taking a summer break. This means that visitors to Milan can drive into the city and not have to worry about having to purchase a pollution charge ticket between the 2nd and 20th August 2010. As Milan’s authorities point out, there really is no need for pollution levels to be controlled in the northern Italian city during August, seeing as the number of vehicles in circulation during this month falls by an average of 48%. Quite simply, few cars means virtually non-existent pollution. If only Milan were the same all year round, adds he wistfully. Anyway, no Ecopass to pay is good news for those who stay in Milan in August, and it may even encourage those touring Italy by car to make a detour so they can spend a day or two looking around the city

From spat to full-blown split. Silvio Berlusconi’s marriage of political convenience to Gianfranco Fini has ended in tears. Scorned lover Berlusconi even rejected Fini’s last minute attempts to kiss and make up and remain part of Berlusconi’s party of love. End of love in. Period.
