Cultural Tip
In Italy, consumer law guarantees a minimum two‑year warranty for most new goods, regardless of the manufacturer's policy. The warranty covers defects that existed at the time of purchase, not damage caused by misuse. When speaking with Italian retailers, it’s common to ask “È in garanzia?” to verify the remaining coverage period.
