(Re Woodburners )Are CO detectors widely available and mandatory as in the UK? I reckon we all should have them. Not seen them locally.

I wondered if anyone could explain how to calculate the car tax in Italy, I know it is to do with horse power etc but is there a useful website like our own DVL site which can allow one to find out how much tax is paid on say....

I thought gas boilers had to be fitted on the outside of the house these days in Italy at least. If a condensing boiler then be careful with the condensate pipe freezing up.
Leroy Merlin sell it, but it'll rot eventually so choose something more durable.
Craco and the Sassi in Matera are worth a visit.
Palmanova in with it's octagonal street layout is worth a stop for a light lunch. If you like war stuff Monte Grappa , Redipuglia and Caporetto (Slovenia) are impressive. You could do with more time though to enjoy the trip.
Could you have left an electric water heater switched on? How many kwh are being used? Do you get online billing? Should be easy to check. We always worried about leaving the immerser on when we left the house...

As far as I can see the earth is not 'tied down', in Italy unlike the UK. They rely on the circuit breaker to limit electrocution. We have a house in Puglia too, recently rewired by professionals.
How much do you want? We had our best ever harvest and the oil is lovely with a peppery flavour, 0.3% acid. We will be driving back to the UK this summer, although we normally take the ferry to Hull I'm sure we could send a tin for a fee if you are further south. Best regards Billy
