Due to a serious technical problem for Telekom Italia, the Livorno ofice has been without telephone or Internet communications since Wednesday 17 September.  We apologise if you have been trying to reach us or wondering why we have not replied to email messages.  We are expecting to be back on line tomorrow but if you have an urgent requirement please contact Leonardo Tognotti on tognotti@ing.unipi.it.  We apologise for the inconvenience and are doing all we can to have the repairs effected as a matter of urgency.
