Hi Barry
It looks like we will miss you as we are hoping to go out towards the middle of October, provided the Drs give my husband permission to fly.
I would be grateful for any information that you can find out when you are there about the repairs to properties and authorisations that are needed just in case we cannot get out there.
Hope that you have a good time and that it is not too stressful.
Judy.

You never gave us your address.

I'am going to try and find out how the process is suppose to work. The deputy mayor in Villa speaks perfect english (lived in Boston most of his life) so I can try and pin him down on details.
It looks to me like most of the damaged properties aren't primary residences so the owners can't or won't fix them. In fact for a lot of buildings no one knows who actually owns them!
We had a talk about this a couple of years ago and the plan then was to seize the buildings and demolish or sell them on behalf of the comune. There would be a cost involved for the comune and I don't think they were ever able to get the funding to proceed though.
It looks like it's everyone for themselves and if at some distant future time reimbursement is provided so much the better.

I see Easyjet is eliminating their flights from East Midlands and cutting back Luton.

Those are our thoughts as well. I am waiting for an email from a HAI agent(he should be speaking to the Architect). As soon as we get the report we are going to get in touch with a builder and get the work started. Once the damage is repaired we can make plans to move over there and as you say if there is any compensation available at a later date then that will be a bonus.
I know that the locals are very frustrated by the lack of information, perhaps the authoriaties need a little push from us ex pats so that they start making decisions. It would be in their interests as we would be bringing work to the area.
I saw the news about Easy Jet, they were always more expensive than Ryanair though. We just need Ryanair to keep its Italian links.

I see that Ryanair are once again putting up the charges for checking in luggage at the airport. The charges are now going up to £30 per bag/£70 for two bags and £15 to check a bag in on line. £20/kilo for excess baggage. They still believe that they are offering a good service but apparently their fares work out dearer than BA on some routes.
I am going to continue to investigate alternatives, but I still prefer flying to Pescara.
