No~one informed us they were ready we found out by chance! Permesso di soggiorno permanente (but actually only valid for 10 years). At my age I don't think I'll bother to renew in 10 years time!! Keep smiling, your area is beautiful...

While Italy is wonderful their administration - well, what can I say. My experience here in France was 180° what yours was. I had my appointment at the Préfecture in Annecy in February and 15 days later my residency card arrived through the post. Same for my son. They were more than pleasant and very well organized so I can only say hats off to them. Still, at least you've got it now right!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-58530724005942165822021-05-10T18:11:19.820+01:002021-05-10T18:11:19.820+01:00Glad it’s finally sorted; what a bureaucratic nigh...Glad it’s finally sorted; what a bureaucratic nightmare in which you have done so well to remain patient and polite.Caree Risoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454194093120715901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-26519041697815083042021-05-10T14:43:51.063+01:002021-05-10T14:43:51.063+01:00I suppose when you weigh all this beaurocracy up a...I suppose when you weigh all this beaurocracy up against our appalling weather it is worth getting through to being allowed to live there - but it does all sound such a chore.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-19716799387962881752021-05-10T13:51:57.870+01:002021-05-10T13:51:57.870+01:00It sounds terrible, I presume the staff were just ...It sounds terrible, I presume the staff were just giving their jobs some sort of relevance.

Thank goodness it's all over and you have your cards now. I think you deserve a glass of something appropriate to enjoy whilst you wave two fingers at the appalling bureaucracy. You did it in the end!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
