Route notes · 01
Why this route
from Bexley.
Italy is the peninsular route on the dedicated list — a long haul from the Bexley catchment, routed across France and then over the border by one of two paths. The Alpine crossings (the Fréjus or Mont Blanc tunnels) drop straight into the Turin and Milan industrial north; the Riviera coast road via Ventimiglia hugs the Mediterranean into Liguria and is the gentler run for the Genoa and Tuscan-coast destinations. From the north, the autostrada network carries the load down the peninsula to Florence, Rome and beyond.
From Bexley, Sidcup, Welling, Erith, Bexleyheath, Crayford and Belvedere, Italy splits cleanly between work and lifestyle. Milan is the professional anchor — finance, fashion, design and the corporate north — with Turin and Bologna adding engineering and university moves. Then there's the lifestyle side: Tuscany (Florence, Siena, the Chianti hills) for the farmhouse and villa purchases, the lakes (Como, Garda, Maggiore) for the second-home belt, and Rome for the mix of professional postings and international-institution relocations. The same crew and lorry handle both ends.
Italy is inside the EU customs union. We file the UK export declaration before the lorry leaves the Bexley catchment and the Italian import declaration on arrival. The transfer-of-residence relief (trasferimento di residenza) covers import duty and VAT for a genuine relocation, filed against your Italian paperwork and a detailed inventory. Two Italian-side steps anchor it: the codice fiscale (tax code) and the iscrizione anagrafica (residency registration at the comune). You complete those in Italy; our customs filing supports the relief rather than obtaining the codice fiscale for you.

6 listed
Milan & Lombardy
Finance, fashion, design and the corporate north. Apartment-block deliveries dominate the central districts — confirm the ascensore size and any cortile (courtyard) access; the ZTL limited-traffic zones can constrain vehicle timing in the historic core.
Rome
Professional postings and international-institution relocations. Historic-centre (centro storico) access is tight and ZTL-restricted; residential districts (Parioli, EUR) are more straightforward.
Florence & Tuscany
Farmhouse and villa lifestyle moves across Florence, Siena and the Chianti hills. Rural addresses with unmade lanes are common — flag turning space and any final-mile transfer need.
Turin
Engineering, automotive and university moves — the closest major city to the Alpine tunnel crossings. Routine access outside the historic core.
The Lakes (Como, Garda, Maggiore)
Second-home and lifestyle belt. Lakeside villa access is often steep and narrow; a smaller transfer vehicle is frequently needed for the final approach.
Bologna & Emilia-Romagna
University city plus the engineering and food-industry belt. Portico-lined historic streets constrain access; residential outskirts are straightforward.
Customs path
EU customs union, residency-anchored.
Italy is inside the EU customs union. We file the UK export declaration before the lorry leaves the Bexley catchment and the Italian import declaration on arrival. Transfer-of-residence relief (trasferimento di residenza) applies to a genuine relocation and is filed against your Italian paperwork and a signed inventory; the standard prior-possession rule applies to household goods. You provide passport, your codice fiscale (Italian tax code), proof of the Italian address / iscrizione anagrafica (residency registration at the comune), and the inventory. The codice fiscale and residency registration are steps you complete on the Italian side; our filing supports the customs relief rather than obtaining them for you.
Pre-survey checklist
Three things
to confirm in the survey.
- No. 01 Whether the Alpine-tunnel crossing or the Riviera coast road suits your destination — the tunnels drop into the Turin/Milan north, while the coast road is the gentler run into Liguria and the Tuscan coast.
- No. 02 ZTL limited-traffic zones in Milan, Rome, Florence and Bologna — the historic cores restrict vehicle access and timing, so a central-city delivery may need a permitted window or a transfer from a nearby holding point.
- No. 03 Your codice fiscale and comune registration — the transfer-of-residence relief leans on both; having the codice fiscale in hand or a clear timeline shapes when the customs paperwork closes.
