Having operated in to Pisa for the last eight years, I would concur with the majority here.

The notams we receive these days are not written in plain English often they contradict them selves and important information lost in the depths of confusing clutter.

No Atis available , weather available on base leg given by a controller who has been speaking Italian prior to changing to English therefore becoming virtually impossible to understand, therefore having to read between the lines.

Off set Vor approach which lines up with a field a mile away from the Airfield.

I just don't know how they could of made this mistake!!!
