The hob we want to buy is significantly cheaper (almost 50%) if we buy

Would there be any problems from the "gas safe" point of view? Is
there perhaps some safety mark required in the UK that would be
missing from the italian model?

many thanks for any comments

Hi Robert

Did you ever get a definitive answer on this? I really want to get a
Barazza direct from Italy too but I can't seem to get a straight answer
from anyone!

Given Italy is in the EU, they should be able to supply a UK spec one - if
they make it. Of course that's not to say they won't put obstacles in your
way so as not to offend their UK agents. As once happened with cars.
