You could also check out http://www.usatopoint.it/ for places in Terni and Foligno. For new stuff, Citta di Castello has a lot of furniture makers.

Besides IKEA, for new furniture at reasonable prices have a look at Mondo Convenienza www.mondoconvenienza.it From our experience in Tuscany, some of the "mercatini" have increased their prices and are charging antique prices for below average vintage or simply second hand. Try to go to Antique and Vintage fairs in your area and mix and match as much as possible.

My favourite by far is Giorgeschi in Citta.. up the main industrial road and next door to Euronics ... Anna there is very sensible and helpful .. no silly prices. and a good range of repro and antique furniture, In particular they make credenzas with restored doors. As for sofas and beds we gave up in Italy and shipped them out from PJ's

Sorry for the late reply. Can confirm Mondo Convenienza are good, and we've also used Arredo Famiglia who have shops on the outskirts of Terni, Viterbo and Orvieto - they tend to be hard to find in trading estates
