3. A “Gozzo”
Don’t wait until the last moment. While browsing in the Nautical category, don’t miss out on the “gozzo,” a wooden boat introduced to the Mediterranean by the Arabs and copied by sailors from the Italian maritime republics. Today, the Ligurian and Neapolitan ones (Pozzolani, Sorrentini, Procida) are the most famous, either rowed or with sails.
4. Cinema Seats
Have you always dreamed of having a cinema at home? The solution is simpler than you think. On Subito, you can find vintage cinema seats, wooden ones, but also more modern and comfortable options. And for the screen, there’s no need to buy a TV with a multitude of inches; projectors for all needs and a screen are available. Then all you have to do is buy drinks and popcorn.
5. Vintage Nutella Glasses
In 1964, the first jar of Nutella came out of the Ferrero factory in Alba. Since then, the jar has undergone many changes, from shape to size, not to mention limited edition glasses that have entered the homes of millions of Italians, captivating not only children but also adults. These glasses have now become true cult objects, from Christmas collections to those with Looney Tunes characters.
And for the nostalgic, Arcopal cups from the ’70s, white with blue flowers, present in every grandmother’s cupboard.
6. A Rooster-Shaped Weather Vane
Although they serve a strictly decorative function today, in antiquity, weather vanes were symbols of power, command, and even in medieval times, only the most prestigious buildings could boast them. On Subito, you can find a wide selection not only in the shape of a rooster but also of a dog, airplane, dragon, mermaid, and little witch.
7. A Small Pond
Building a small aquatic ecosystem is a solution that pleases both adults and children. Adults can create an ornamental and relaxing area, while children can feed fish and turtles. If you’re afraid your garden is too small for this original corner, don’t worry. On Subito, you can find various solutions for artificial ponds, ideal even for those with limited space. Once you’ve bought the base, all that’s left is to embellish it with aquatic plants and fake rocks, maybe even with a waterfall!
8. Marble Columns
Marble never goes out of style and, in fact, has been rediscovered as a noble material to furnish every room in the house, both modern and contemporary. For those who want to delineate space to remain organized and visually tidy, marble columns come to the rescue. On Subito, you can find them in various sizes and colors, simple or decorated, with straight or engraved edges.
9. Volkswagen Minibuses
Raise your hand if you’ve never dreamed of an on-the-road journey in a colorful and quirky German minibus straight from the 1960s-70s. Scrolling through the ads, you can find all types and models. Some Volkswagen minibuses have been approved as trucks, others converted into campers, and others transformed into food trucks, even equipped with a beer tap and a DJ station.
10. With a bit of luck… Love
This is the story of Francesca and Michael, who met on Subito in 2015. She had a passion for motorcycles passed down from her father, and he wanted to sell his Husqvarna SM 125. They meet, and the motorcycle love at first sight immediately happens. They meet again to close the deal, and perhaps something has already clicked because they say goodbye, making plans for a coffee. Not only that, but they have had many coffees since then, and when someone asks how they met, they respond: on Subito!
