BUYING VINTAGE GUZZI PARTS FROM ITALY
This can be difficult. It is ALWAYS best if you have the precise part number you need. It is helpful if you can try to communicate in Italian. If you need anything translated, just ask and I’ll help you. I use a commercial translating software which works fairly well (although you do need to train its dictionary with mechanical and technical terms). I try to send my request paragraphs in BOTH Italian and English so they can research any textual confusion. Internet communications are now getting far more common in Italy and this makes questioning, ordering, and paying a lot easier.. Be prepared to occasionally get something totally wrong. You’ll probably just need to toss it and chalk that up to learning and communication lessons. It would be impossible and costly to exchange or refund. Be prepared that a valuable package may get hit with US customs duty. I have also been very lucky to know people who travel to and from Italy yearly and can shop for and hand carry parts for me.
