Removals Italy | Moving House to Italy

Removals Italy – Hamilton’s European removals department offers removals to and from Italy. We offer three main types of removal service - a dedicated service (sole use of vehicle), a special service (where the client specifies collection and delivery dates) or a part load/groupage service (where several loads are grouped together and share the same vehicle – please note delivery times for this service vary depending on how quickly consignments are consolidated). These services are offered for all domestic house moves, corporate and commercial moves.

Hamiltons can get involved with as little or as much of your removal as you wish. We can simply turn up on the moving day to transport your items and effects to your new home or we can undertake a full packing, moving and unpacking service. You can even use our Moving Maid Easy service to have your old or new home professionally cleaned.

About Italy

For years the country now known as Italy (the Italian Republic) has been the cause of many foreign invasions and civil wars.

According to legend, Rome was founded in 753 B.C. and was ruled by seven Kings of Rome until 510 B.C. Rome started to gain territories defeating its neighbours one by one. By the Middle Ages central to southern Italy, once the heart of the Roman Empire, was far poorer than the north. The Papacy had also relocated to Avignon in France.

The Italian Renaissance began in Tuscany spreading mainly north it was at its height in the late 15th century. In 1478 the papacy returned to Rome but this remained poor and in ruins through the first years of the Renaissance.

A series of foreign invasions of Italy known as the Italian Wars began in 1494 that would continue for decades. The War of the Holy League (1508 – 1516) was a major conflict in these wars. The principal participants in the war were France, the Papal States and the Republic of Venice. They were joined over the years by every major power in Western Europe including the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland.

The Italian unification (the unification of different states of the Italian peninsula into the single nation of Italy) was forged in 1861 and Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy was crowned King of Italy in 1861. At first it was the Kingdom of Italy but it went on to go through a difficult period with World War I, followed by Fascism under the then Prime Minister Benito Mussolini (1922 – 1943) which ultimately led to his death during World War II. Public opinion forced a referendum between retaining the monarchy or becoming a republic and in 1946 54% of the votes favoured declaring Italy a Republic Constitution. At the time that it ended in 1946 the House of Savoy was the longest surviving royal house in the world.

Whilst Italy is poor in natural resources, due to its mountainous and hilly terrain, few peoples have contributed so much to the arts as the Italians. All over the country there are incredible churches, palaces, town halls and bridges many of them built in the style of the Italian Renaissance.
