Hi
It is lovely to hear from someone else who has bought in Ofena.
Unfortunately we will not be there when you go over as we had to cancel our planned visit following the quake as our house has been badly damaged and we have since been told that we are unable to stay in it. We are hopefully going out for a few days at the end of September just to close it up for the winter. We would love to meet up with you if future visits coincide.
Judy.

Hello Mimmo,

Your not related to Mimmo Emanuele are you?
Was your house surveyed? It looks like Ofena took a lot of damage and a great many houses are uninhabitable.

Giovanni your english is good enough to be understood, and as this is an English speaking forum we would prefer that you stick to English.
I wish I could write Italian as well as you write english.

You should not let these quakes put you off moving to Ofena. Although there have been a lot of large quakes recently there is a long history of earthquakes affecting most of Italy, whcih occur almost on a daily basis in some part ot Italy.We even have earthquakes in England.
Although our house in Ofena has been badly damaged my husband is still determined to go and live there. We were planning to move out next year but that has now been delayed until we can get the repairs done on our house.

I think it all depends on your general outlook to life. Although we have a good life here in England, it is still very much a 'rat race' and we are looking for a quieter, more gentle way of life now. It is still quite daunting given the history of earthquakes in Italy but we will have to make the most of the life that we choose to live when we finally get over there. Our children still think that it is a good idea, but that might be because they are thinking of future holidays.
