| A guide to dining in Italy | | 2008-07-02 15:52:00 | | Italian pizza isn’t the same as we enjoy here. Pizza is considered a first course in Italy. It is almost always a 10-inch, thin crust pizza. The 10-inch pizza is meant to be a personal size pizza, but we often shared one.Our meal in Positano was our first experience with being charged for sitting at a table, the cuperto or cover charge. In Italy, there are different charges for your meal based on if you carry it out, eat it at a counter or sit at a table. The location of the table can increase the charge also as we found out later in Florence where a table overlooking the Arno River cost us four euros each, the most expensive table charge of the trip.

| 48 hours in Ferrara, Italy | | 2008-06-25 03:33:00 | | FERRARA, Italy, (Reuters Life!) - Got 48 hours to explore Ferrara, the picturesque Italian town famed for its Renaissance art and bicycle-peddling natives?
Reuters correspondents with local knowledge tell you how to get the most out of a weekend getaway to this hidden gem off Italy's well-worn tourist track.
Yet to be invaded by the armies of tourists that flock to better-known neighbors like Venice or Florence, Ferrara retains much of its medieval charm that makes wandering through its cobble-stoned piazzas and streets feel like a trip back in time.

| Naples, Italy | | 2008-06-19 08:21:00 | | BreakfastAnother quick breakfast and we were off to see the city of Naples.Too Much SnackingShortly after getting off the boat, we spotted a cafe, which are all over the place. In Italy, it seems that cafes look a little like small bars, but people are standing around drinking cafes (what we think of as espresso). I wanted to try one so we took it to go since we don't speak Italian. Everyone standing at the bar was chatting away.I was afraid I wouldn't like it since I don't like espresso. It's usually too bitter for me. Surprisingly, this cafe was smooth, only slightly bitter, and I really enjoyed it. My heart did start racing though -way too much caffeine for me.A little later, Lon popped into another cafe to get Pizette. All of them had these fluffy focaccia-like breads. It wasn't heated enough but delicious anyway.Not very much time had passed when we spotted another cute shop, full of sandwiches, savory pastries, and antipasto. Everything looked so good and unique, but we agreed to | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

| Italy in Jeopardy After Being Routed by the Dutch | | 2008-06-11 20:30:00 | | The Dutch certainly made the first surprise of the European Championship a stunner.The Netherlands handed Italy, the defending World Cup champion, its worst loss in European tournament history, a 3-0 rout Monday in Bern, Switzerland, that left the Italians in danger of elimination in the first round.Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wesley Sneijder scored in the first half, and the standout defender Giovanni van Bronckhorst added the third goal on a counterattack in the 79th minute.“It was a historic feat,” Netherlands Coach Marco van Basten said. “This was Italy, the world champion. I cannot name one player who played poorly.”Italy’s once-proud defense looked old and slow. Van Nistelrooy tore through at will. With the injured captain Fabio Cannavaro sitting on the bench, Marco Materazzi and Andrea Barzagli were picked apart by the Dutch attack.“It was one of the ugliest games in the last 12 years,” goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon said. “In the name of the entire team, I think I have | | By: Nice Reading | | |

| Oh! Italy! You Loose My Vote | | 2008-06-09 20:53:45 | | I am now still sleepy as I had to watch the most interesting football match last night between Italy and Netherlands. Many experts voted for Italian players are they were more famous than Netherlanders or they had more stars who were playing for big teams over the world. But, they were wrong and me too!!!Italy is not my favorite team and I do not think they will be champion this Euro 2008. My favorite one is Germany and I vote for them. But, what I would like to see is an equal match with beautiful goals from two teams as the Group C (France, Romania, Netherlands and Italy) has three candidates for the champion and it must be very hard to be leader or the second position of the group.The result was unbelievable 3-0 for Netherlands even in the past (total 15 matches between Italy and Netherlands, Italy had 7 win while Netherlands had only 2).I hope in the next match with Romania or France, Italy will play better and better if they do not want to be another England!!

It was a historic result because ended a 30-year wait for a victory over Italy. It's true that the first goal was gotten in off-side by Van Nistelrooy (a severe referee error) but Netherlands was already at time the best team in field.The second goal started from a corner against Netherlands. A perfect crossfield ball to Kuyt whose header was spectacularly ended by Sneijder inside Buffon's near post.Italy tried to recover on the second half but as Roberto Donadoni said «it was definitevely a bad night» and several chances to recover one goal were waisted.

| Property overseas: Unsung Italy | | 2008-06-01 05:27:00 | | But those who dream of owning an Italian farmhouse in Tuscany will find the prices far from romantic. In sought-after parts of the region (so-called Chiantishire, for example) and even in neighbouring Umbria, an average four-bedroom, stone farmhouse can cost about €1.2 million.The British outpost, however, comprises a relatively small area of Italy. If you venture an hour north into Lunigiana or south into Emilia-Romagna, equivalent properties can cost up to half as much - and there is still plenty for classics scholars to sink their teeth into. "It's more of a buyer's market," says Mr Fawcett, "so long as you are sensible and check all the facts."For those prepared to explore, there are many lovely, old houses within easy reach of unspoilt coast and countryside all over Italy.

| Holiday in Capri, Italy | | 2008-06-01 03:23:00 | | Having a holiday in Capri could be an extraordinary experience.For you who are not aware, only in the eighteen hundreds the name “Capri” at Italy began to become known in the rest of the world. Initially it owed its fame to its strategic position for the control of Southern Italy and as the territory of bitter fighting between the French of Napoleon’s Empire, who had succeeded the Bourbons, and the British.It was in this period that numerous Forts along the Island perimeters were built, seriously compromising the Roman ruins which had managed to survived until that time. Some years later, Capri’s fame increased with the growing interest in travel, which brought to the island the first of a long stream of foreign visitors.Capri became a place where to dedicate oneself to otium and the art of hospitality. The new spirit of the population was largely consequence of the closure of the convents, the abolition of the bishopric, declared by Ferdinando IV in 1815 on his returned to Na | | By: Travelling Italy | | |

| Italy (Accidentally?) Puts All Filed Tax Returns Online | | 2008-05-13 23:00:00 | | From this week's Economist: ITEM 100237099149 was a bargain. Offered for sale on eBay on May 5th, it was a CD of the “income-tax returns for 2005 of the entire Italian people”. Until it was removed after a few hours, it could have been bought for around $75. Five days earlier Italians had learnt, to their varying dismay, amusement and fascination, that—without warning or consultation with the data-protection authority—the tax authorities had put all 38.5m tax returns for 2005 up on the internet. The site was promptly jammed by the volume of hits. Before being blacked out at the insistence of data protectors, vast amounts of data were downloaded, posted to other sites or, as eBay found, burned on to disks.

Only when the new government takes office next month will Italians see which promises are kept.If the future is a distressing question mark, the Roman couple, like many Italians, blame the rising feeling of precariousness on at least one major event rooted in the recent past: the introduction of the euro as legal tender in 2002.

| Rumble: Living in Italy - Part 3: Coffee | | 2008-04-21 01:47:56 | | It would be hard to think of Italy without coffee. "Caffè" (with the accent on the last part and with the 'è' pronounced as in the English "head") is part of the national heritage, much like the Colosseum or Pisa's tower.Italy is home to a range of coffee drinks which took the rest of the world by storm. Without Italy, Starbucks or Second Cup probably would not exist.Without coffee, Italy would grind to a halt. A day can not start without coffee, and a good meal often ends with it. Many companies have their own inhouse coffee bar including waiters and all. So just to make sure you understand: The Italians do take their "Caffè" seriously.History:The coffee culture arrived from the Middle East via Istanbul to Venice, in the 1570's. Coffee would remain a luxury and mostly medicinal drink until the 17th century saw the opening of the first European coffeehouse in Venice.

| Travel slow in Italy and stay in Orvieto | | 2008-04-20 05:59:00 | | The cathedral of Orvieto is one of the architectural and artistic highlights of Italy but there is more to be enjoyed in this Umbrian town than the usual rushed tour-party itineraries allow.The piazza around the duomo gets busy around midday as coach-loads of tourists and school groups swarm around the famous church.But once they have moved on - to Rome or Florence - the town returns to its usual peaceful elegance and travellers clever enough to stay a night or a week can enjoy a real Italian treasure.

| Italy sees great potential in Chinese wine industry | | 2008-04-15 11:31:00 | | "The Shanghai World Expo 2010 and the Olympics" – explained Giovanni Mantovani – "will be a true test as well as an opportunity for the image of Italian wine. There is great potential for Macao, considered the Las Vegas of China with its 30 casinos and 30,000 hotel rooms, which, until now, has been dominated by French and Portuguese offers. But the 6 euro price range, which is the price range that is expected to grow in consumption with three digit numbers, is precisely the range that Italian wines fit into. For now, Italian imports represent only 5% of total imports to China, and France claims 45%. Italy is preceded only by Australia and has registered growth of 177%.

| Private buyers reap the rewards in Italy | | 2008-04-01 15:21:00 | | Non-professional investors who are looking for a holiday home that they will enjoy for at least five years, or a permanent residence, are undoubtedly the winners in the Italian property market. New tax laws now favour this sector of the market with dramatic tax benefits. Purchase costs in Italy used to be as high as 15-17%, but new rulings mean that this figure can decrease to approx 4% - 5%, which is a huge gain in some cases.Furthermore, after five years of property ownership owners, even holiday home owners, are exempt from capital gains tax in Italy. Capital gains tax stood at 12% but under new rulings this has been raised to 20%, so long term investors seeking stability gain considerably. This coupled with inheritance tax only on high value properties and still significantly lower than that of UK death duties, is also a big factor to mature individuals looking to invest here.
