Discover a calmer way to move to Italy.

Depends on the route, your volume, and Brenner Pass throughput. Northern Italy is a shorter haul than Sicily; the Brenner customs queue is the larger variable. The written quote includes a likely window for your specific corridor.

Practically yes for almost everything once you are settled — utility contracts, bank account, sometimes the lease. The move itself does not strictly require it; your settled life there does. Apply at any Italian consulate before you fly out, or in-country once you arrive.

Anything wood-based — antique furniture especially — needs climate-controlled storage if going into a stone house with no aircon. We can arrange cellar storage at the Italian partner depot until your property is conditioned.

Probably not the main lorry. The destination crew runs a smaller 4×4 fleet for the final mile, transferring the load at a sensible meeting point. We measure the strada bianca at survey-handoff and confirm the staging plan before delivery.

Yes. Italian conveyancing is unpredictable; we hold goods at our partner depots in Milan, Florence, or Rome until the rogito is signed.

Yes — climate-controlled transport with customs-clean documentation. There are quantity thresholds beyond which Italian dogane treat the consignment as commercial; we audit at survey to keep the move classified correctly.

Yes. The destination coordinator briefs the portinaio — and the condominio chair if there is one — on access timing, lift bookings, and any same-day connections. The phone calls are theirs to make.

Yes. Specialist piano movers travel with the load; tuning at the destination is recommended after the instrument has settled for two weeks.

Yes. Ferry routing from Genoa or Naples; the leg is costed inside the single fixed figure. Customs are cleared on the Italian mainland — there is no second clearance at the island port.
