What should I pack when moving to Rome?

"When moving to Rome, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the climate. Rome has hot, humid summers and mild winters, so it is important to bring clothing that can be layered. Additionally, it is important to bring comfortable walking shoes, as Rome is a city best explored on foot. It is also important to bring any necessary medications, as well as any important documents such as passports and visas. Finally, it is important to bring any items that will make the transition to a new home easier, such as favorite books, photos, and other sentimental items," said another expat in Rome, Italy.

"Wish I had brought: 1. Lots of books. The books in English here are really expensive. Paperbacks at Feltrinelli International range anywhere from 12 euros to 25 euros or more. 2. Typical American sauces, seasonings and mixes like barbecue sauce, taco sauce, cake mix, instant pudding mix, jello mix, etc. These can be found here only at Castroni and are really expensive. 3. Vitamins (bulk kind that can be found at Sam's or Costco) because they are also very expensive here and come in small bottles. Wish I had left at home: Most of my clothes. The Italian clothing style is chic and trendy. If you hit the massive biannual sales in February and August, you will be able to pick up some really nice pieces at greatly reduced prices (50-70% off)," wrote a member who made the move to Rome, Italy.
