In Italy I've never been South from Sabbaudia (90 km South from Rome). Intergalactic cybercommunism sounds great, I hope amylin will be back in Europe, so we can come and visit you in Berlin - by thumb! Also check into <a href='http://crashatmine.org' rel="nofollow">Crash at Mine</a>, it's more ad-hoc, and there's the plan to start with a just-for-geeks (or at least internet junkies) hospitality exchange network, this month :) Ciao!
