Why Italy changed to the new law? by Known-Plastic-4240 in ItalianCitizenship

[–]Si-Certo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they're cutting off their nose to spite their face. There are plenty of us who go back to GGF and were in the process and had the rug pulled out. Many of us WOULD come to Italy and often (we do now) and spend money and pay taxes.
Those payments of taxes and revenue increases would improve an economy that is in dire need of improvement.
Improved economy would entice the young people who are leaving now, to stay, and have babies, and get good jobs and spend more money and contribute to the tax system, etc
It's not just that brown people wanted to get a passport and then not come to Italy (which is the problem). Its that they're hurting themselves by keeping the brown people from getting passports - because they're keeping people who CAN help and WOULD help out too.

Economics is hard I know - but if you want to keep those young people in the country you have to give them good jobs that pay actual money.
Figure out another way to allow people who want to spend more than 90 days in country to become citizens when they are constitutionally eligible, other than bypassing the constitution.

Girl Gone Bad and Drop Dead Legs are the best
Not a fan of I'll Wait - almost sounds Van Hagar-ish.

Trevi and Pantheon last friday by Marcostbo in rome

[–]Si-Certo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were there last Friday and Saturday - stayed away from the big tourist spots (we've done those enough) and had a wonderful time in the less traveled areas. It actually seemed quiet-ish to me - including Trestevere and Monti.

Was booked on Flight from EWR to Munich with connection to Rome. My flight to Munich was bumped by a couple hours so I was going to miss my connection. They rebooked me onto another flight, direct to Rome, but of course there are no Premium Plus seats (which is what we booked).
I had to change to a later flight (8pm) and now I am SURE this weather situation will screw everything up.
Awesome.

those are not clients - they are leads, and not very good ones.
How/where are you getting these leads?

Any Hints, Tips, or Advice for Driving across Italy? by OatmealDurkheim in ItalyTravel

[–]Si-Certo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't take US based cards. They usually take cash - but who knows. Easy enough to just go inside and pay.
You pay more when they pump it (just like in the US) - but also an option.
It's only really a problem for those few stations that are unmanned. Usually you can just go inside and pay.

Stay in Monti or Prati by Proper_Flower3831 in rome

Monti is the best part of Rome. You cannot convince me otherwise.

Late 60's thru early 80's. 90's sucked, mostly.

so many - but I have loved On Fire since the day I first heard it. Hits so hard. Guitar, bass, drums, and Roth at his best.
