Comment on How To Pay Pisa Traffic Violations by Harry

Alex,

I just got a letter saying I drove in a restricted traffic zone, back on 2/9/09, just got the letter yesterday, 3/12/10 with a postmark date of 2/4/10. Are you saying even though I am an American that because they took more than 210 days to send me this violation, I can claim exemption under case no C-224/00?

Sure took a long time to send me something.

Hi Jessica,

Yes, the Liguria pizza place raised my eyebrows a little too!

I shall check out Di Matteo on the pizza expert’s site.

If you do make it to Brandi before me, which is quite likely, do let us know how you found it.

Boy, is your job tough!

Best,

Alex

Two surprises here:

First, yeah – Liguria? Interesting.

Second, no Di Matteo in Naples?!? (My favorite!) I’ve never eaten at Brandi, though, so obviously I have some work to do upon my next visit…

I live in Italy. I therefore know that if a document is due July 18 I must submit it not later than April 18. Some result which I am told will take 4-6 weeks will then take 26 months. This is all true and documented history and has happened every 2 yerars for 9 years.

So which Italy is it that Berlusconi lives in?

Well, he’s banned the talk shows, so he can say what he likes.

All’s fair in love and politics, or something like that!

Best,

Alex
