Re: Principal payment vs. Extra payment? When you get any loan, most of your extra payments will be applied to the principal. Certainly read your loan docs to be sure. But making extra payments will certainly cut your interest expense and you'd pay it off much sooner too. Using your example, I'll assume that your monthly payment is approx.
Italy has a variety of natural resources such as coal, zinc, potash, marble, barite, pumice, asbestos, fluorspar, mercury, feldspar, pyrite, natural gas and crude oil reserves. The Italian government has complete control of its mineral industry.
And although marble is extracted from quarries all over the globe, some of the most precious varieties of marble are found in Italy. The most popular Italian marble varieties are carrara, calacatta and statuario. To the untrained eye, these stones may all look like the same type of white marble. Confusion is also added because calacatta is quarried in Carrara, Italy.
