How responsive are the Fontanone administration for maintenance ?
A. Excellent. Two men known (unkindly but accurately) to the appartment residents as “Laurel and Hardy” will come round quickly. Both of them. They will be there to replace burned-out light bulbs in an hour or so. They will happily come round to check on your broken washing machine (no, it’s meant to work like that, it does run at 400 rpm so yes, you do need to spin washing three times. Spinning once means you can wring it out afterwards). They may be responsive, but they have a rather precise view of their responsibilities: if they happen to replace a dead light-bulb with one of the wrong wattage, they will not change it as that is not their job.
