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

Would that be Ilve/Brittannia by any chance?

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?

As far as I understand it if it's from the EU you can use it in the UK.

Each country has its rules on who can do what and with a gas appliance.

There is nothing stopping you buying one, but getting a Gas Safe monkey
to fit one might be tricky if the instructions aren't in English and the
references on the hob itself don't mention any UK recognised attributes.
