Hello Alan,
I hope Flavio, Gio or some other Italian members will chime in with info on local regulations.
There is no general ban on edged weapons for EU countries; to the contrary many EU countries have rather lax rules. I have noticed that postal services in some countries claim that a given member state bans weapons and, thus, don't accept parcels with blades even if the restrictions only apply to firearms. A description mentioning the exact item (e. g. "antique klewang, made from metal and wood in Indonesia"") will work out nicely.
Regards,
Kai
