renting an a/c in italy

[UB6IB9]

Salve a tutti,

I'm going to be visiting family in Italy at the beginning of the new year for a couple weeks...starting in stressa, rome, forsinone, and down to matera. does anyone have any advice or tips on where would be a good place/aeroclub to rent an airplane and do some sightseeing. i have a canadian cpl. can i get my canadian license validated for 30 days or something?? i heard it's possible to get a jaa ppl issued temporarily for something like 30 days????

grazie

Ciao!

I heard that is very difficult to convert foreigner licenceses and ratings in Italy and by the way we are known to be actually slow in doing paperwork. I got my PPL in Bari that is the nearest flight club from Matera, they are very kind and maybe can help you. If you are not able to convert your licence at least you could rent a plane with an insturctor.
This is the number of "Aeroclub Bari" +39 0805316202, try to give them a call.

Buon viaggio!
