Unlike many Italian shops, they allowed me to return an unwanted rubinetto (faucet) and returned my money! Good luck, doug |
Forgive me Doug for my addendum ....
The shop Doug is talking about is, I think, Gorifer at Grisolia.
It is a fair way behind the main road SS18 (in the middle of a field to be truthful) so would need a car to get there.
Here is a link to their website:

I have to say (do forgive me but I think it is best to speak as I find) that, when we have been in there, the choice isn't as great as the site would have you believe it might be.
But it is as close to the DIY stores we are used to in the UK as you might find in these parts.
And, I believe, they do coloured paints and will happily do paint mixing for you.
We have a lovely little ferramenta at the bottom of our road when the comune tecnico buy their bits and bobs.
They all go in and ask for whatever they want whereas we like to trawl the shelves ('cos there might be other stuff we need that we haven't quite realised yet!).
I suspect the owner thinks we are more than a bit odd but they always humour us 8-))
The thing we realised quite quickly in Italy is that the shops are very different from the Uk - and DIY isn't the way that things are done here - but that makes the whole process all the more interesting 8-))
