We used to use Book Depository to get books for our Italian friends at Christmas.
Book Depository now closed. Does anyone know of an Italian (or EU) bookshop that will accept orders from the UK and deliver to an Italian address?

Driving to Italy
Just driven down. No longer cheap petrol in Switzerland - fill up in France.
Even Italian petrol is appreciably cheaper than Switzerland
(There was no petrol available in Mulhouse for some reason)

I must admit that I have some sympathy with a female who gets less than a half of the inheritance her brothers get, but do not know the reasons behind such a seemingly unfair distribution
Two options come to mind.
1...Go to law, in the hope that she realises that her legal costs will be excessive, and she therefore relents on the sale
Or
2... You and your brother each offer her 1.5/30 of your respective inheritances, (conditional on a sale) leaving her with 7/30 and the you boys with 7.5/30 each. She may see this as a more equitable solution, and agree to sell.

Ugo,
If you think that suggesting that the UK government advice to talk to the Italin Consulates of Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs about visa options, is deceitful, may I suggest you review what you consider deceit to be.
Ugo,
The UK government website also suggests that approaches are made to the Italian Consulates in UK for advice on how to get approval for longer stays.
It has some useful 'links' to facilitate/begin this process
The important thing is that talking to the Italian Consulates before travelling may (and I stress 'may') be beneficial
""To stay longer, to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons, you will need to meet the Italian government’s entry requirements. Check which type of visa and/or work permit you may need with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Italian Consulates in London, Manchester or Edinburgh before booking an appointment .""
Have you looked at the uk government website?

"assuming you're a non European citizen"
Do you mean "non-EU" or "non-European"?

Make sure they are well hidden in the trailer, in case someone decides their need is greater than yours!!!

Latest information......
"The maximum speed for towing a trailer or caravan (up to 3.5 tonnes) on Swiss motorways has been increased from 80km/h to 100km/h. Suitable tyres must be fitted."
Had a quick look on 'via michelin' at the effect of going via Luxembourg and GotthardTunnel, as opposed to going direct via Mont Blanc Tunnel.
Seems it takes (in theory ) only about 30 minutes longer, and the overall cost is slightly less,allowing for 2 vignettes.
Of course, the return journey would be 80 swiss francs cheaper, as you already have the vignettes
Just checked eurotunnel site. It says -
Fuel:The maximum permissible quantity of liquid fuel (petrol, diesel or biofuel) that can be carried in portable reserve fuel containers on board a passenger Shuttle per Vehicle, is as follows:
