Why Vicenza Steals Hearts
Vicenza feels quietly irresistible. It is the city of Palladio’s villas, sunlit piazzas, and gentle rhythms that make everyday life feel lighter. Tucked between Venice and Verona with the Dolomites on the horizon, it gives you big‑city culture without big‑city chaos. Cafés spill onto cobbles, markets hum with local produce, and weekends turn into easy escapes to the sea or the mountains.
Reasons people fall for Vicenza:
- Architectural beauty at every turn, from Basilica Palladiana to elegant porticos.
- Calm, family friendly pace and safe neighbourhoods with real community.
- Fast rail and motorway links to Venice, Verona, Padua, and Milan.
- Strong artisan scene and thriving manufacturing that supports careers.
- Great value compared with larger Italian hubs, yet with all the charm.
This guide is for families planning a full home move, students relocating for a semester, remote workers seeking a slower groove, and businesses setting up new teams.

What Size Van Do You Need?
Choosing the right vehicle keeps your price lean, your footprint lighter, and your schedule nimble. When your man and van is sized to your actual volume and weight, loading is smoother, access is easier, and you avoid paying for empty air.
VAN sizes and best‑fit moves
| VANonsite Vehicle | Capacity | Ideal For | Example Items |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moving Basic | 5 m³, 300 kg | Small studio, student room, urgent parcels | 10–15 boxes, bike, compact desk |
| Moving Medium | 10 m³, 600 kg | 1‑bed flat, partial loads | Mattress, 20–30 boxes, bookcase |
| Moving Premium | 15 m³, 1000 kg | 2‑bed home, fragile pieces | Sofa, wardrobes, 40+ boxes |
| Moving Premium Plus | 30 m³, 3500 kg | Larger flats, mini‑house moves, small offices | Multiple sofas, appliances |
| Moving Full House XXL | 90 m³, 20000 kg | Full house, multi‑office relocations | Entire household, pallets |
Still unsure? Share a quick video walk‑through and we will map your inventory to cubic metres, pick the perfect man and van, and lock in an exact quote.
Quick ways to estimate your load:
- Standard moving box: about 0.07–0.09 m³. Count boxes, then add space for furniture.
- One furnished room: usually 5–7 m³ when packed sensibly.
- 1‑bed flat: often 8–12 m³ depending on wardrobes and appliances.
- 2‑bed home: commonly 12–18 m³; add more if you have bulky sofas or gym gear.
- Office desks: plan roughly 1 m³ per workstation including chair and screens.
Weight matters too: if you have books, ceramics, gym plates, or tools, payload can hit the limit before volume does. Tell us about heavy items so we match the right van safely.

The Best Time To Move To Vicenza
Vicenza sits in Veneto with four distinct seasons. Your timing shapes comfort, price, and traffic patterns. Here is how the calendar usually feels.
Spring (March–May)
- Mild air and blooming countryside make loading and unloading comfortable.
- Tourist numbers are rising but streets remain manageable.
- Great window for cost‑effective mid‑week man and van moves.
Summer (June–August)
- Hot afternoons and holiday closures around Ferragosto in mid‑August. Early starts help.
- Parking can be tighter in historic areas. We reserve slots and check ZTL timing in advance.
- Book sooner for weekends and month‑end dates, which sell out quickly.
Autumn (September–November)
- Often the sweet spot: cooler days and softer pricing than peak summer.
- Occasional rain showers. We protect with shrink wrap, mattress covers, and dry blankets.
Winter (December–February)
- Crisp mornings with possible fog across the Po Valley. Nearby mountain passes may need chains.
- Lower demand outside the holidays means more flexibility and sharper rates.
Peak vs off‑peak tips
- Prices are usually friendliest Tuesday to Thursday, and outside the final week of each month.
- Public holidays and major events tighten access. We plan around them and secure permits early.
How VANonsite keeps things smooth
- We optimise routes around ZTL windows and arrange street permits with the local comune when needed.
- Crews target cooler hours in summer and daylight in winter for safer handling.
- Live GPS tracking lets you and your building managers follow progress and prepare lifts or gates.

Paperwork And Legal Bits For Italy
Paperwork does not have to feel puzzling. Below are the essentials with official sources only. Always check the exact rules for your situation and keep copies of everything.
EU/EEA/Swiss citizens
- Register your residence at the local Anagrafe in Vicenza within 90 days. Guidance at Your Europe (EU): https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/residence/index_en.htm

Non‑EU citizens
- Apply for the correct visto at your Italian consulate before you travel. Overview from Ministero degli Affari Esteri: https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en
- After arrival, request a permesso di soggiorno. Start within the stated timeframe and follow Polizia di Stato guidance: https://www.poliziadistato.it/articolo/10717

Regulations can change. Book your man and van date, then we will sequence travel, key handover, and any municipal or consular appointments so your schedule stays smooth.
Packing Like A Pro
Packing is where moves are won. Smart prep saves hours at both ends, keeps fragile pieces pristine, and makes your man and van sprint rather than stumble.
How we secure your belongings
- Fine art, antiques, instruments and designer pieces ride with white glove delivery and custom protection. https://vanonsite.com/white-glove-delivery-service/
- Moisture control with silica packs, corner guards for furniture edges, and mattress or sofa covers for hygiene.
- TV, glass and mirror cartons sized correctly so there is no pressure on corners.
- Wardrobe boxes to move hanging clothes crease free.
- Clearly printed labels in English and Italian to speed unloading in Vicenza.
Self pack vs. pro pack
- Self pack: best when time is flexible. We supply quality boxes, tape, and wraps and share a packing plan.
- Pro pack: ideal for full homes or fragile collections. Our team packs, itemises, and loads in one coordinated sweep. https://vanonsite.com/packing-services/
Bulleted micro checklist
- Use double walled boxes for books. Avoid overfilling to protect backs and seams.
- Wrap plates vertically with paper or foam sleeves, never flat.
- Bundle knives safely with guards or cardboard sleeves before boxing.
- Number boxes and keep a digital list that mirrors room names.
- Photograph cable setups before disassembly and tape bags of screws to furniture.
- Keep liquids, aerosols, and cleaning chemicals separate and upright.
- Pack an open first box with bedding, toiletries, kettle, and chargers.
What we bring on the day
Blankets, tie downs, ratchet straps, floor runners, door protectors, skid boards, piano dollies where needed, and extra cartons for last minute bits. The result is clean, controlled movement from door to door.
Furniture Removals Without Drama
Large pieces do not have to be stressful. We plan clear paths, protect surfaces, and move with slow hands and sure footing so your furniture arrives unscathed.
Our furniture playbook
- Measure doors, lifts and stairwells, then map the route before a single screw turns.
- Remove legs, shelves and glass panes when it reduces risk. Hardware bags are labelled and taped to the item.
- Blanket wrap every piece and use corner guards on vulnerable edges.
- Shrink wrap fabric items to keep them dust free and dry.
- Protect floors with runners and entryway shields at both addresses.
- Load sequence by weight and fragility, then strap tight to prevent shift.
Special items
- Pianos, marble, stone tables and oversized art receive custom crating or skid board moves with extra crew.
- We brief insurance options and share the live GPS link so you always know where treasured items are.

- IT friendly packing with antistatic protection and screen sleeves.
- Asset tagging and inventory lists so everything lands in the right bay.

Parking And Access In Vicenza
Vicenza’s historic centre uses ZTL restricted traffic zones. The rules are clear, but they vary by street and time of day. We coordinate permits, parking and access so your man and van can reach the door without fines or delays.
How access usually works
- Check ZTL status and hours for your street with the Comune di Vicenza. If your address sits inside ZTL, we request a temporary permit for loading and unloading.
- Reserve a legal parking space near the entrance. Where street space is needed, the city may require an occupazione suolo pubblico (temporary occupation of public land) request with dates, hours, and vehicle details.
- Book lifts and loading bays with building management so our crew can move continuously.
- Right size the vehicle. Narrow lanes often favour Moving Basic or Moving Medium, with shuttle runs to a larger van parked outside the ZTL if required.
Mini checklist for permits
- Full address, floor number, and access notes.
- Vehicle plate, van size, and planned time window.
- Photos of the street, gate width, courtyard or archway.
- Contact for concierge or property manager.
Official sources
- Comune di Vicenza home: https://www.comune.vicenza.it/
- ZTL and mobility information via the Comune’s mobility pages: https://www.comune.vicenza.it/
We handle the paperwork and timing, then share your live GPS link so everyone knows exactly when to expect us at the curb.
After You Arrive
The first week sets the tone. Tackle a few essentials and your new life in Vicenza clicks into place.
Residency, health, and registration
- Register residency at the Anagrafe. Book or check office hours with the Comune di Vicenza and bring the usual documents: passport or ID card, rental contract or hospitality declaration, codice fiscale, and proof of income or study if requested. Many offices accept a self declaration of residence. Always verify requirements with the Comune: https://www.comune.vicenza.it/
- Healthcare enrolment with the SSN. Register with ULSS 8 Berica, select a family doctor, and bring ID, codice fiscale, and your residency certificate or application receipt. Non EU residents also show their valid permesso di soggiorno. Start here: https://www.aulss8.veneto.it/
- Tax and fiscal code. Keep your codice fiscale handy for contracts and update your address with Agenzia delle Entrate once registered in Vicenza: https://www.agenziaentrate.gov.it/
Utilities and services
- Electricity and gas. Decide between voltura name change when a contract exists or subentro reactivation when it was closed. Record meter readings with date and photos. Consumer guidance from regulator ARERA: https://www.arera.it/
- Waste collection and TARI. Register for the TARI waste tax after residency and check your pickup calendar with the Comune di Vicenza. Some districts require a bin request form. Info hub: https://www.comune.vicenza.it/
- Internet. If switching from a previous occupant, ask for the codice di migrazione so your provider can port the line. Book the technician early and notify building management to grant access to risers or telecom rooms.
School and family
- Public school enrolment opens on a calendar set by the Ministry of Education. Check documents, vaccinations, and zoned schools via the national portal: https://www.miur.gov.it/
Document quick checklist

Real Stories, Real Care
Case study: A calm family move from Krakow to Vicenza
The O’Connor family needed speed without stress. Their lease ended in six days and Nonna’s antique Venetian mirror had to arrive unscathed. We scheduled a video survey the same afternoon, right sized a Moving Premium van, and locked a mid week departure.
On collection day the crew wrapped every frame in soft blankets, then built a custom crate for the heirloom mirror. Labels were bilingual so unloading in Vicenza would be risk. Before wheels rolled, the family received a live GPS link. Grandma watched the icon glide across Europe with her morning coffee.
The route hugged the A4 for consistency. Our man and van checked in at each rest stop. Building access in Vicenza was tight, so we reserved a curb space and coordinated lift times with the concierge. Unloading began to the minute.
Result. Zero scuffs. The mirror caught the afternoon light in its new hallway. The family set a kettle on their first box and exhaled.
Highlights
- Same week planning with a confirmed slot and GPS tracking link.
- White glove packing for fragile heirlooms.
- Parking and ZTL arranged in advance to keep timing precise.
- Calm, courteous crew who treated the home like their own.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a man and van to Vicenza?
Two to four weeks is ideal. For peak periods like late June or late August, aim for six to eight weeks. If life happens fast, use our Last Minute Moving service for rapid departures.
Can you move last minute to Italy?
