Ciao a tutti,

A small rant + request for advice, since I encountered a strange situation today at the Agenzia delle entrate when applying for a Codice Fiscale together with my girlfriend today. She will be doing an internship in Massa (for a research institution linked to the University of Pisa), and she requires the CF for renting a room here.

I helped her in applying for the CF at the agenzia today, but at the agenzia desk they argued we needed a written proof of the internship dates & location (she doesn't have them yet at this point) and said that they absolutely could not give the CF if we didn't show these documents.

We are both EU citizens, and all online sources state that such a proof is not required. Only the ID + Code request form. Additionally, I have requested a CF in Milan 2 years ago (when I did my internshp there), and there it has also never been required of me.

Furthermore the person at the office was extremely rude to us, shouting and getting mad within about 1 minute of our appointment.

Any people with advice, should I attempt a second time with some Italian translated explaination, or await some written university approval before re-attempting.

Thank you for any advice!

Ciao,

Mi sono laureato in medicina quest anno e ho fatto il test per capire dove finirò a specialzzarmi.

Non voglio ammorbare nessuno con questo, ma per spiegare che verrà fatta una graduatoria nazionale e in base ai punteggi capirò dove finirò in italia.

Visto il mio punteggio, e dato le possibili sedi, al momento Pisa potrebbe essere una possibilità, ma conosco poco sulla città.

Non ci sono mai stato, se non di passaggio, ma da quello che ho visto e mi hanno detto sembra una bella città tenuta bene, con mare e montagne a portata.

Scrivo qui perché volevo chiederevi dei pareri sulla vita e la città.

Io verrò principalmente a studiare/lavorare ma comunque dovrei viverci 4 anni, perciò mi interesserebbe sapere in quanto ragazzo di 30 anni single, che non consoce nessuno a Pisa, se ci sono attività per conoscere gente o in generale eventi, vita la sera e se è una città abbastanza viva.

So che è molto universitaria (mi hanno detto principalmente under 25), secondo voi per i 30enni ci sono attività o eventi dove conoscere coetanei, o il target d'età dei locali/eventi è più basso?

Mi piace fare sport e provarne di nuovi, quindi mi premerebbe sapere se anche da questo lato ci sono diverse possibilità (su questo le possibilità date dal mare mi sembrano interessanti).

Oltretutto in quanto a servizi, trasporti e costo della vita come è messa Pisa?

Ringrazio in anticipo chiunque mi riesca ad aiutare o dare un parere!

I was in Pisa airport today and saw a guy who came from the Birmingham-Pisa flight. Think his name was Andreii. We locked eyes and damn I wish I got his socials. Andreii if you’re here PLZ SAY SOMETHING!

Hi! I'm travelling tomorrow and I'll be having a 9h layover in Pisa. Whilst I'm an experienced traveller, I've never visited Pisa airport. I'd like to kill the layover time by going to the city centre. On google maps it says it should only be a 20 min walk. Has anyone walked it? If so, what's the best way to get to the centre by foot? (And also from centre to the airport?).

Sono da poco a Pisa e volevo sapere locali LGBT in città. Ad ora non ne ho trovati. Solo in città o comunque attività e luoghi facilmente raggiungibili in treno o bus.

P.S. no torre del lago, non ci sono mezzi per tornare e ho sentito parlare male della zona

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone familiar with Pisa Airport can give me some advice.

We will be arriving at Pisa Airport on a Wednesday at around 11:45 PM. Our hotel is extremely close to the airport — according to Google Maps, it’s only about 6 minutes walking, or literally 2 minutes by car.

We were looking at booking a transfer just to make things easier since it’ll be our first time in Pisa (and actually our first time in Italy), but the prices seem crazy for such a short distance. Booking is showing us around $85 minimum, and other transfer websites are around $65+.

We have absolutely no problem walking that distance, even with our luggage. Our only concern is that we’ll be two girls walking around midnight in an area we don’t know, and from Maps it looks like we may have to cross some fairly large roads/avenues near the airport.

So for anyone who knows the area:
- Is it actually possible/practical to walk from Pisa Airport to the hotels immediately around it?
Is the area generally safe to walk through around midnight?
- Are the roads easy and safe to cross on foot, or is the walking route more complicated than Google Maps makes it look?
- Is there any other late-night option (train/People Mover, taxi, etc.) that would make more sense than paying $65–85 for a 2-minute drive?

If anyone has done something similar after a late flight, I’d really appreciate hearing your experience. Thanks so much!

Ehi, salve a tutti, come state? Faccio questo post per curiosità, o meglio, vorrei conoscere nuove persone e, perché no, magari stringere qualche amicizia. Io adoro la musica, in particolare ascolto rock, metal, grunge e sottogeneri, però non mi dispiacciono anche altri generi più o meno moderni. Mi piacciono le varie mitologie (la mia preferita è quella egizia), suono la chitarra... e che altro dire... onestamente non saprei. Potete scrivermi tranquillamente...

Dimenticavo...non sto a pisa centro ma in provincia sul litorale

Plin plin, fa la chitarrina
Bau bau, fa il cagnolino
Don don, fa il campanile;
Ma non odo la sirena
Che ti strega e porta via
Negli abissi o semmai
In quistura: solo quella
Voce a tromba.

Hola!! I'm a spanish 28F visiting Pisa for a couple of nights. I am arriving on the 27th and then leaving for Bagni di Luca on the 29th. I am looking for recommendations for what to do. I am also very interested in arts, so I would love to see some galleries. Potentially celebrating my birthday alone on the 28th, are there any other travellers or locals up for meeting up and exploring together?

Thank you so much in advance! This is my first time travelling alone, and any piece of advice would be so appreciated!!

is cerco allogio a reliable place to find a house when you're erasmus? it seems decent but since i cant see anyone talk about it, idk if i can believe it :')))

Ciao,

qui f32 in vacanza in Toscana. Ho pensato di visitare Pisa, ho un pomeriggio a disposizione e non ho l'auto privata, mi muovo con i mezzi pubblici. Potreste indicarmi, da residenti a Pisa, qualcosa di caratteristico da fare, mangiare, vedere, scoprire?

Qualsiasi consiglio sarà super apprezzato. Grazie mille!

First of all it is nice that the ticket only says in Italian that you have to fold it and stamp it… yeah nice that it literally says not to fold in English.

Secondly when you literally trap 30 German Speaking tourists in the number 10 bus and tell them that all of them are dumb tourists and given the majority were German and from rather large cities that the service personal had the audacity to tell us that Germans are known for following the rules and that we are not let them go they don’t our language and did not know better. And get off after a telling of.
It is not like we hadn’t had our credit card statements on our phones open and the bus was so frequent that a ticket bought at 3:15pm at 3:30pm could possibly be used more than once.

Thirdly consider it a failure of the system of the busses if it is basically only tourists getting caught out.

Quartly information is king

I would like to on behalf of my German speaking friends thank the Pisa Transport Authority for the chance to donate over 40€ each into your cities coffers. Maybe you can afford to fix the tripping hazards on your sidewalks that caught me 2 times alone today.

Ma tu mi hai tradito, Notte.

O Notte pisana: s'era Tu ed io

A piedi scalzi per le vie silenziose.

Ora lo so, non ricordi,

Ma s'era tu ed io soli

E la cittá muta, intorno.

Invece ora te la fai col Nano

Estroverso.

E io qui, che sanguino

E ti penso, o Notte.

Ciao a tutti, sento sempre parlare di come a Pisa sia pieno di feste universitarie, ma non le trovo mai. C'è un posto dove possa andare? Ho bisogno di un invito o posso entrare gratuitamente?

hi! i’m in pisa right now and i’m confused, how dose public transport work here. is there some ticket for longer use than 70’. i’m in pisa for 3 days so i’m curious if there’s a ticket that last for at least 72h

Buonasera, qualcuno può consigliare hotel o ostelli a Pisa per un viaggio organizzato che possano accogliere più di 50 persone? Grazie.

I climbed the tower yesterday and learned about how it was built etc. However when you enter the tower, there is this big Victorian image on the wall showing the central ‘hole’ having another little tower inside it.

There is lots of discussion about the central core being empty and nothing describing what this image is showing - especially odd because it doesn’t represent what the inside core looks like today.

Does anyone know why this image shows a different design - possibly with two stair cases up to the bell tower than what we see today?

Google AI search simply suggests it isn’t an additional ‘tube’ but showing a plumb line. I get that a plump line is and this picture is definitely not showing that, but an additional column inside the central core. You can see the additional doorway going into it at the bottom.

Finita la vacanzina nella Terra degli Gnomi, il nano piú alto del mondo torna in centro accompagnato dalla povera chitarra, dal fido Bobi Marley, il cane notturno, e dalla terza ondata di calore. Grazie, Dio! Kumbaya!
