Hello,

I'm italian and I need a list of the biggest 8 sources of residential
apartments for rent in Milano (Italia) with direct contacts (direct
email or tel. numbers of the owner, not intermediaries/agencies).

The criterion for selecting the biggest ones must be the number of the
advertisements of residential (not commercial or for holidays)
apartments for rent in Milano published for on the site the last month
(where publication date is available..).
If you know a better criterion feel free to suggest it to me as a
clarification/comment.

Since all these sources/sites are probably in italian language, to
help you in the research here are some translations and tips:

english  -  italian   equivalents:
apartments = appartamenti
apartment = appartamento
Milan = Milano
rent = affitto
"apartments for rent" = "appartamenti in affitto"
rentals = affitti  (very used!)
rentals in Milan = affitti a Milano
residential = residenziale/residenziali
commerciale = commerciale/commerciali
holidays = vacanze

Milano is also a province. Its code is "MI". So Milano is also a city
in the area/province code "MI", that is in the zone/region called
"Lombardia", that is in the State Italy ;)

For on-the-fly translation of entire sites from italian to english I
suggest you to use http://babelfish.altavista.com

I already know these big sources/sites:

- http://www.secondamano.it/search.cgi?offReq=O&txtFreeSearch=&Region=9&cat1=3&cat2=304&cat3=341
- http://www.affitto.it/case/case.asp?provincia=Milano&comune=MILANO+%28MI%29&tipologia=appartamento
- http://milano.kijiji.it/f-Immobili-Affitto-W0QQCatIdZ40
- http://www.affittasi.com/annunci/ricerca-annunci.php?cmbCategoria="Offro
affitto appartamento"&citta=Milano

I ask you to find atleast other 4 sources/sites that compete or are
bigger than these.

The Alexa site (see "http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=www.affitto.it"
at the section "People who visit this page also visit:") can help you
very much in this research.

Thanks and regards
