I have found that the best way to get around Italian bureaucracy, at least at the local level, is befriend (or, even better, employ) a well-plugged local. Someone who has relatives and friends inside the comune, the questura, ASL, vigili of this and that, etc. ))

John's been here for thirty years. His Italy is impeccable, and he knows everybody. We can't go to Rome without running into people he knows. But...this is Italy. If you're in a comune that isn't run like well-oiled machinery, you get a less-than-favorable result. Sadly.
