How long is flight from Edinburgh to Italy?
Hi! Well, it depends from which part of Italy. I'm from Milan and I've been once to Edinburgh: the flight took about 2 hours 1/2. But Milan is in the North, so flying to Rome should take some 30-40 minutes more, while flying to Sicily (southmost part of Italy) will take you up to 1 hour 1/2 more!
Hope it can help!
Cheers!

Is a necklace marked 926 Italy worth anything?
Those marks mean that it's .925 (sterling) silver and was made in Italy. The intrinsic value of the silver would depend on weight, but can be less than the market value of the item. For example, a very old piece of silver jewelry from a historic period, or one designed by a famous dead artist, could have value to collectors. A valuation can be done by a qualified appraiser, and requires more information than just the alloy of silver used (the .925, aka sterling).
