"When moving to Tuscany, it's important to pack a variety of clothing options to accommodate the region's diverse weather. This includes lightweight clothing for the warm summers, as well as heavier items like sweaters and jackets for the cooler months. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as exploring the Tuscan countryside and cities often involves a lot of walking. In addition to clothing, you should also pack essential toiletries, although keep in mind that most items can be easily purchased in local stores. If you have specific brands or products you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Remember to bring any necessary prescription medications, along with copies of your prescriptions. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit for minor injuries or illnesses. If you plan on cooking at home, you might want to bring some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may not be available in Italy. However, Tuscany is famous for its food markets, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to try local produce. Don't forget to pack important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents, in case the originals are lost or stolen. If you're bringing electronics, make sure to pack the appropriate adapters for Italy's power outlets. Lastly, consider packing items that will make your new house feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes. Moving to a new country can be a big adjustment, and these familiar items can help make the transition a little easier," remarked another expat in Tuscany, Italy.
