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.

Navmii Italy on the Apple iPhone 4 – Review and Giveaway

Rather fortuitously just before I took off for Tuscany, so to speak, I was contacted by Navmii, who make the turn-by-turn GPS application for the iPhone, the Navmii GPS Live for Italy app. Navmii were even going to give a free copy of their Iphone 4 GPS app to test, but as a result of my not being signed up with the right Apple iTunes store, I bit the bullet and bought it. It only costs 4 Euros, that’s $4.99 for US customers.

Expensive Milan

My post on the sky high bill which a couple of Japanese tourists received after dining at Rome’s Il Passetto restaurant has attracted some attention. The Italian press has also been hunting for other similar stories too, and has found a couple of other supposedly extreme bills.
