What should I pack when moving to Modena?
We asked people living in Modena to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Modena, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and lifestyle. Pack clothing that is suitable for the warm summers and cold winters, such as sweaters, jackets, and scarves. Bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city, as well as a raincoat and umbrella for the occasional rain showers. Don't forget to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and driver's license. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items from home to make your new home feel more familiar," wrote a member who made the move to Modena, Italy.
