Some of the big cities have a regular “Mercatini del Usato” (literally, used market) or antique market, but they can sometimes charge antique prices for quite ordinary second-hand reproductions. Otherwise, when you look at the room it will feel like you are still in Britain. To add character to your home it is nice to buy a few old pieces of Italian furniture. Wooden tables, chairs and beds take up surprisingly little space in the lorry when you pack boxes around them. If you want solid wood furniture you might find it cheaper and easier to buy it from second-hand shops in Britain. You may also find other expats selling furniture on your local expat Facebook page or forum.
If you have an old stone house you might find that the modern furniture sold in most Italian furniture stores just doesn’t look right against a stone wall. But will it fit in the space you now have and does the style look right in an Italian home? The benefit of bringing furniture from the UK is that it will save you time hunting around for furniture for a whole house, and provide you with the basics, while you search for something more suitable.
The cheapest option will usually be to bring furniture from your previous home – even with the transport costs.
