I posted this on the Living in Italy board, but I'm not sure that many people have seen the post.
I read a thread on one of the Slowtalk boards where ex-pats listed all the everyday items that they cannot get in Italy. I believe that heavy duty tin foil and baking soda were listed.
I'm happy to bring over these types of items for people. I'll be in Rome 1/24 - 2/1. I'll also be making a trip to Florence. There will be lots of room in my suitcases, so please don't hesitate to ask. You can PM me or email me.
Neatly complimentary, 'coz not the same part of Italy exactly, a reminder that my similar offer of a while back still stands of course; my dates are later (25 Feb thru 25 May). I'll be roaming very little Tuscany I think, but all over Umbria and the Marche, to a less extent the Lazio.
