For the last 10 yrs I've been resident in a very nice village near MXP. The lake Maggiore is near MXP and Case Nuove are at MXP. For the rest: welcome to the italian way of doing things: may ask Prodi, of course or buy Alitalia for 1 Euro.........Have fun anyway, even when going to operate after 6 hours on the (italian) road, driven by a Schumi in disguise.
