What are the limits on value of goods during customs in Italy?
I am travelling to Italy to meet some friends and will be taking small-ish electronics like Kindles/e readers as a gift. Is there a limit on the value of goods? Where can I find information on the exemptions/rules regarding gifts and limits on the value of the goods I can carry?
The only reliable source seems to be the airport website, but all the links are in Italian and the browser translate function doesn't generate any easily understandable information. I did see a limit of 150 euros on the page but couldn't understand if that applied to gifts and what other stipulations might be in place.
