Smile HGV blockades still active in some places; but HGVs carrying fuel, perishable foodstuffs, and hospital supplies; are now being allowed through.
I am fortunate enough to live in a boring crime free backwater, but my local grocer had run out of milk and other dairy supplies this morning.

What they want (and quite right) is a reduction in the ridiculous price of diesel; since Supermario, our unelected dicatator; put on an extra 10 cents per litre tax as Christmas present. This in addition to the steadily rising market price anyway.

saluti,

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the updates, we are safely tucked away in Turkey till mid April then we will have to decide overland or ferry home.

I use http://www.corriere.it/english/ for keeping up to date with events in Italy, can you recommend a better read?

Regards

Don

Smile Ciao Don, hope you are enjoying Turkey.
I think with Corriere della Sera in English on the web, you have the best source you could possibly have.

Rolling Eyes well I don't know what's going on really. The blockade by HGVs is supposed to be over. However some places are still blockaded, notably
around here, and further south in Calabria.
Some supplies are running out - all local filling stations closed with no fuel this morning. Schools been closed all week with no fuel for central heating. Did find plenty of milk and bread though.
In the meantime, also a public transport strike today; and our local post office is closed for a month for 'reconstruction'.
At least the weather is good, altho' bitterly cold.

saluti,
eddied

Contrary to usual practice, HGVs will be allowed to circulate on Sunday 29 January, to help situation/supplies get back to normal.
Motorists also warned that snow chain on board, or winter tyres, will be obbligatory in Central/Northern Italy as snow is forecast.
saluti,
