LOL Rosa, the doctor who treated DH apparently said everyone should fall down a manhole at least once in their life! I haven't questioned DH yet about his alcohol status at the time but I have my doubts. Luckily he didn't fall into sewage.
Tantik, where we lived outside Rome there was no problem with the scuole materne, in some small communi they need to keep the numbers up so very happy to give you a place. Where we lived was about an hour out of Rome, near a place called Poggio Mirteto, with a good train, eventually DH couldn't handle the commute any longer though, and our family life was suffering so we moved. The quality of the schools was a bit patchy there though tbh, some good some bad. The one I visited here when (fruitlessly) trying to enrol DS was much nicer than my DD's materna outside Rome.
We are now in EUR just outside the GRA, if you go even further out it becomes quite a posh area and there are lots of private materne, also because state ones are very thin on the ground here. If you email me on [email protected] I can go into more detail.
