We have visited Italy in 2013 for about 25 days and ended up in Rome. we would like to take a few things with us and have researched some about shipping and the import tax. She is employed with a world wide company and we would like to find a place with many olive trees to keep myself and my son in law busy. I would greatly appreciate any information that anyone would like to provide to aid us in this new chapter in our lives.

Often they are unique or very rare in the world. <br />Just a few examples: Holy Face of Jesus in Manoppello; holy stairs to get indulgences in Campli; Eucharistic Miracle in Lanciano; Holy Door in Atri; The Feast of Forgiveness in L'Aquila; Our Lady of Splendour in Giulianova; ...; San Gabriel Holy Youth at Isola del Gran Sasso; ... <br />Did you know that Pontius Pilate was born in Bisenti? <br />It is the region of the great poet Gabriele D'Annunzio in Pescara. <br />In Civitella del Tronto there is one of the largest fortresses in Europe and it was the last stronghold of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which resisted until after the Unity of Italy. <br />The cuisine of Abruzzo offers many culinary delights, food and local wines thanks to a mix of history, mountains, hills, lakes, sea and unique landscapes which are all a human dimension. <br />And I could go on and on: in short, Abruzzo offers unique and priceless treasures that enrich people in body and soul. I was born in Canada from parents of Teramo (Abruzzo north) we came back to live here to enjoy all these treasures. I am a mechanical engineer, not a tourism professional, when I go with friends and relatives Americans and Canadians in this my beautiful region, I see the amazement and wonder in their eyes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370977671085298231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608503664772109513.post-69147258298142420392014-09-21T18:33:23.608-07:002014-09-21T18:33:23.608-07:00I took your advice and updated the numbers for the...I took your advice and updated the numbers for the benefit of my readers.
