Bike Boxes and Rome Airport

[DanLear]

Morning,
Planning the Wolf's Lair for next summer and looking into the logistics...
Has anyone either stored bike boxes in the Rome Airport left luggage or purchased/acquired boxes in the near vicinity?

When we did Turin/Nice we had the option to buy boxes at Nice airport, but not seeing anything similar for Rome...

Grazie!

edit, was going to suggest left luggage but I see you've mentioned that

Never done Rome airport left luggage but have never had a problem with it anywhere else.

Or post out in a cardboard box, discard it when you get there, and on the return leg arrange a cardboard bike box from a local bike shop- would save the cost of luggage storage. From what I remember of other airports there was some limitation on storage - may have been box size or something

Not sure if this helps but I took my bike fully boxed on the bus from airport to the trainstation in the centre on my way out. When I was back in Rome I contacted a random bike shop to see if they would help me box the bike back up and they were more than happy to do it for 30 or 40 euro if I remember correctly. In the end I never flew home from Rome but instead cycled to Pisa so can't comment on the packaging job.
Don't try to plan to far ahead it's usually easy to sort something on the fly
