Where to buy things

Newcomers to Bagni di Lucca often have difficulty finding out where to buy things for their newly purchased homes, I know I did all those years ago. Below are some of the places I have discovered. Please leave any suggestions you have in the comments and I will add them to the list.

Hardware, homewares…

Mobilart Home SRL. In Fornoli we have an excellent hardware shop that carries a great range of tools, garden supplies, kitchen ware and so much more. It should be the first port of call. The well stocked shop is opposite the car park in Fornoli and is open all day Monday to Saturday. (39) 0583 86046
