    I just spent Oct. Nov. in "Vico del Gargano".
    I loved it, a quiet little town, swept clean daily.
    I'm planning a B&B just East of town (.7 mile).
    I'm going back this spring, I'll trade by Internet,
    it's made the world a smaller place. I have not
    looked into Tax issues there as yet.
    English is based in many Italian words, that helps
    since I'm older and don't learn as quick. I need the
    adventure in my life. NY market opens at 3:30pm.
    closes at 10:00pm, if I can stay up that late.
    It's hard to relate how fresh the food is there,
    compared to here in the States.
    Good Luck in whatever you decide.
    Enjoy Life! You only get as much as you take.

    No, that can't be swept clean daily! It's in the south!
    :D
    Gargano is supposed to be the best part of the region, although I have never been there. I've been told Manfredonia sucks, though.

    tax issues? You mean you want to move there?
    Wow
    And the B&B has a fast internet connection?
    Double wow.

  5. What region are you talking about? And what's wrong with the south?

    More formal English vocabulary is based on Latin, which is of course the root of Italian. A good trick when you're starting out is to think of the formal English word for something and 'Italianize' it. I.e., if you want to say 'argue' think of the legal term, 'litigate', and then you have 'litigare.' There are some false friends, but you'll usually be understood well enough.

    At least not the first time.
    Will someone now think that Italian women are easy? I don't mean to deceive anyone :)
