Traslochi a Siena dal Regno Unito
Siena is built on three steep hills, joined at their ridges, enclosed within 13th-century walls. The city's famous Piazza del Campo, the fan-shaped main square, is completely pedestrianised. The surrounding streets of the historic centre are steep, cobbled and, in many cases, too narrow for any vehicle larger than a small van. Siena is arguably the most complex historic city for removals in mainland Tuscany.
No standard removal lorry can access the streets inside the medieval walls. Every removal to a historic centre address follows the same process: the lorry stages at one of the parking areas just outside the walls (principally the Piazza Gramsci bus station area, the La Lizza gardens car park or the Stadio Artemio Franchi car park on the northern side), and a smaller van or porter team handles the final delivery inside the walls. For addresses near the Piazza del Campo, the carry distance from the nearest vehicle access point to the building entrance can be substantial.
International Removals Companies is a free enquiry matching service operated by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD (company 07425576). It does not carry out removals or operate vehicles. It connects each Siena enquiry with one suitable vetted partner removal company, who contacts you, surveys the move and confirms the quote. Free to use, no obligation until you accept.
The lorry stages at the best access point for your specific address. The three main external staging areas are:
From the staging point, a 3.5-tonne van or smaller passes through the nearest gate and navigates the interior streets. Many streets inside Siena are steep, one-way and cobbled. Some streets near the Piazza del Campo have no vehicle access and goods go the last stretch on foot by porter. The Piazza del Campo itself is completely pedestrianised and deliveries to properties facing it are handled by porter carry from the nearest accessible street.
The Palio di Siena horse race takes place on 2 July and 16 August each year. For several days before and after each race, the historic centre is fully closed to all vehicles for preparation and celebration. No removal is possible within the walls during this period. Never book a move to a Siena historic centre address for the window from approximately 28 June to 5 July or from 12 August to 19 August. Confirm current Palio exclusion dates with the partner mover when booking any summer move to Siena.
The residential areas outside Siena's medieval walls have standard lorry access. The Viale Mazzini ring road around the walls gives good vehicle circulation. Taverne d'Arbia, Poggibonsi direction properties and the Crete Senesi farmhouses accessed from the Siena plateau all have road access subject to the usual strade bianche considerations for rural Tuscan properties.
Road freight from the UK travels through France and the Alps, then south via the A1 and the SS2 Cassia road to Siena. A standard removal lorry cannot navigate the streets inside Siena's medieval walls. The lorry stages at one of the external parking areas (Piazza Gramsci, La Lizza or near Porta Romana) and a smaller van delivers inside. The partner removal company applies for the ZTL permesso di transito. International Removals Companies matches each Siena enquiry free with one vetted partner removal company.
No. The medieval walls enclose a city built on three steep hills. The streets inside are narrow, cobbled and steep. No standard removal lorry can navigate them. All deliveries to addresses inside the walls use a smaller van or porter team from a staging area outside the walls. The ZTL covers the entire historic centre.
The Palio di Siena horse race takes place on 2 July and 16 August each year. For several days around each race, the entire historic centre is closed to all vehicles. Never book a removal to a Siena historic centre address between approximately 28 June and 5 July or 12 August and 19 August. Confirm the exact exclusion window with the partner mover for any summer booking.
A dedicated vehicle from the UK to Siena typically takes 4 to 6 working days. Siena is 70 kilometres south of Florence on the SS2 Cassia route. A part load service takes 10 to 14 days from collection.
As a planning guide, a part load to Siena starts from around £1,100 for a studio. A two-bedroom part load from around £2,200. A dedicated vehicle from around £3,200. The shuttle van transfer inside the walls adds cost compared to a city with standard lorry access. These are guides only.
Siena is in Tuscany, part of Italy and the EU. Since Brexit, UK goods entering Siena are treated as imports to the EU. The franchigia per trasferimento di residenza can remove import duty and 22% Italian VAT on household goods owned and used for at least six months, provided you are moving your main home to Siena. You need a Codice Fiscale to apply. Check dogane.gov.it for current rules.
