Hi Guys, Welcome to the group. Here are some basic guidelines for interaction in our community. Most of it I am sure will be preaching to the choir but here they are: 1) Be respectful. You can disagree respectfully but no personal attacks, no negative generalities against any group or ethnicity, Treat others as you would be treated and remember, this community is our living room and we are all guests. 2) No spam or marketing. If you want to share something you feel would assist the group please private message me. Using the group to solicit eyeballs is not acceptable. Such posts will be deleted and continued violations will result in expulsion from the group. 3) Stay on topic. We are Super Savvy Italy so anything you think falls under that category is great. If you are unsure you can check with us or look at the categories in the community section.

Hi Guys! For some reason this video has resurged in popularity but it does have some great information. It also reminded me of several vides we have done with Nick Metta at Studio Legale Metta and his cousins Dr. Andrea Armenio and Dr. Allesandro Armenio.These guys have all provided priceless information about Italian medical care, the notaio system and all kinds of legal advice. We are so lucky to have them as resources. Meanwhile check out my adventures with. broken ankle in italy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4niV8eDUtY
Hi Guys! For those who love art, the El Dorado Hills Art Association is having a fine art show on 10 October starting at 9:00 and going until 5:00 and the El Dorado Hills Library. . I will be showing several of my pieces of all sizes and price ranges. This beauty will be there as well. I attended last year and the talent was off the charts. There are so many beautiful artists creating one of a kind pieces.
while I've been leaning toward choosing the Pulia region to eventually move to, I've been recently researching coastal sicily and a smaller town near reggio calabria (7% tax region), mostly because of better chances to get cheaper real estate deals than the pulia region. These areas seem to also have the things we're looking for as retirees, but the weather is a little harsher in the summer time. Does anyone have any experience living or visiting these areas? I know the pros and cons of these areas in relation to what we're looking for, but hearing from others that have been there would be very illuminating!
