Speeding fines in Italy, again, and Pisa…

It’s official, the article in the Telegraph I read while I was in the UK would seem to indicate that Euro traffic fines will shortly be with us. The same article is available on-line here.  Although this change comes into effect in March 2007, as some who have read this blog will have noticed, the UK DVLA has already been giving out the addresses of offenders to the Italian authorities so they can send victims a nice little fine.

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

For some not exactly clear reason a number of people who have left comments on my blog have been ending up with fines for traffic offences whilst driving through Pisa.  If you happen to find yourself there in the near future, watch out, because the area into which certain cars are not allowed does not seem to be well signposted.

Pinzimonio, Vegetables and Olive Oil from Tuscany

Elsewhere on BlogfromItaly.com, I’ve asserted that slow food can be quicker to prepare than so-called fast food. Pinzimonio, and Italian starter is one prime example. Something similar accompanied by ‘dips’ often appears at barbecues and dinner parties, but it’s something which can be served every day.

Not Nice

Yesterday I was out with our dog when I noticed another dog on the other side of the road. It was off its leash and appeared to have wandered into the road. The owners were a Chinese family, mother, father, and child in stroller. Unusual, I mused, you don’t see that many people of Chinese extraction with dogs.
