Welcome letter

Dear friends,

Welcome to our little apartment at Nettuno!!

We have prepared this guide to help you settle in and be comfortable. It contains some information that may be useful to you and we hope you will read it . . . We have also written a brief introductory guide to the neighborhood just to get you started on the right track.

When you arrive – and in case of any problems that might arise, you should contact:

· Teresa Schiavoni (helper): cell: 320.385.0978; hm: 06.980.7010
· Patrizia or Pitto (brother and sister in law): wk: 069.857.8050; cell: 338.234.0682;
hm 06.985.0956
· Carlo and Luana (Pet shop) 06.988.32048

Note: In Italy, while there are some phones that take cash, most public phones require the use of a prepaid card. The card are available in units of E.5, E.10 and E.20. Each has a magnetic bar across it that keeps track of the available credit. Cards are sold at newspaper stands, tobacco shops and at most coffee shops. The card then is slipped into the telephone and the display window of the phone will show the remaining available credit.

The best Internet CafĂ© in Nettuno is “Na Balam” and is run by our friend Tullio and his Mexican wife Marta. It is located five minutes from the apartment, at Piazza Salvatore Valeri 7, a little square behind Piazza del Mercato. Tullio is very computer competent and speaks Spanish and English as well as Italian. It’s a great place to check your mail and enjoy Mexican snacks!

Have a wonderful time!
