Hi Massimo, 

thanks for taking time to have a look to my problem.
Regarding the first suggestion, what I was trying to do was exactly what 
you corrected.

The query itself doesn't work as I would: in plain english, I would like to 
have a complete list of users that live in a specific city AND know a 
specific language.

By doing what you suggested I get doubles row (as the search was done 
separately and independently on the two tables and the results then 
presented together), eg. I get user1 because it lives in London and I get 
user1 because he speaks Italian, but I get also user2 because it leaves in 
London BUT only one because it doesn't speak italian. It is what I should 
expect?

Thanks 

Riccardo
