I need to find the lost property office.
'Smarriti' = smar-REE-tee. 'Oggetti' = od-JET-tee. Ufficio oggetti smarriti = lost property office.
When looking for the place where lost items are handed in, at airports, stations or hotels.
'Ufficio oggetti smarriti' (literally: office of lost objects) is the Italian term for lost property. 'Devo trovare' expresses necessity. Major Italian airports (Fiumicino, Malpensa, Linate) have dedicated lost property offices. Trenitalia has a 'servizio oggetti smarriti' for items lost on trains, contactable at 06.3000 or online. Municipalities have a 'ufficio oggetti rinvenuti'.
Ho dimenticato la borsa sul treno.
I left my bag on the train.
'Dimenticare' = to forget/leave behind; 'borsa' = bag.
Ho lasciato l'ombrello sull'autobus — chi devo chiamare?
I left my umbrella on the bus — who should I call?
For buses, contact the local transport company's lost property line.
Posso descrivere l'oggetto perso?
Can I describe the lost item?
Always be ready to describe colour, brand, contents — essential for matching.
Trenitalia's lost property service (Servizio Clienti: 06.3000) keeps items found on trains for 60 days at the destination station's lost property office. Items at Fiumicino airport are handled by ADR (Aeroporti di Roma) lost property at Terminal 1. Always check within 24 hours — items are quickly moved to central storage.
