Tax Cuts......?

Before you have to steady yourself at the mere thought of tax cuts in Italy, I have to warn you, (sorry, I am so used to warning people about tax increases that it comes naturally to use the word, 'warn'), or I am pleased to inform you that if you can hang in there a little longer they may be on their way. 

 

And 'I am' talking about 'Income tax Cuts' (IRPEF)!

Oily thoughts.....

I have been travelling around Italy a lot in the last few weeks.  I hit a busy time and when the calls come I hit the road.  

 

However, one thing has struck me more than most in the last few months and that is that things, in Italy, don't seem to be quite as bad as they were a year or two ago.  I see more businesses opening, the ones that survived through the depth of the crisis years are doing more trade, and it feels like there is a general improvement, albeit small, I must admit.  Am I hallucinating, or maybe it is just that summer feeling arriving again?
