Hi Luca… thanks for sharing this. I am in the process of moving to Verona so this guide will come in handy. Generally looks like Amazon will be the way to go for most things, just for the sake of convenience…!
I was just wondering how are the delivery costs in general?
Pretty good guide. Helped me out find what I needed.
