You should be able to buy good solder from Farnell Italia :

All solders:  https://it.farnell.com/c/strumenti-e-forniture-di-produzione/stazioni-saldanti-e-accessori/saldatura/filo-saldante

Loctite / Multicore, Kester Solder, Stannol, Edsyn ... good brands.

There may or may not be a problem buying them as a private person (some new regulations not allowing lead based stuff to be sold to private persons I think)
If that's the case, maybe order from Digikey in US? You get free shipping with a minimum order, and customs/DHL/UPS people probably won't be aware of these regulations or won't care.

If you want liquid fluxes, you should check out TME.EU ... https://www.tme.eu/en/katalog/fluxes_100484/
They stock fluxes from a Polish company (AG Thermopasty) and they're quite OK, and cheap for the volume : long link

I'd recommend stick to tk83 (abbreviated to "tk" on tme) and rf800, the latter seems to be a less concentrated tk83. I tested them, look to be non-corrosive, non-conductive once dried. Others, afaik, have a special purpose. With some luck it's possible to find very minimal info on their website http://termopasty.pl/en/products-en/welding-brazing/ . Again, no datasheets or something (available documents are almost useless). I also requested info directly from the factory by email, no reply whatsoever.

stannol has many flux options - you can get something more agressive, but you may need to clean it off afterwards.
you could try kristall511, or 2630 variants.

For some reason I think it's the same company (Loctite).

Oh wow, yes they are! I had no idea. But it’s not obvious — they don’t market themselves as being part of Loctite/Henkel. It’s just mentioned casually on the company history page. But it definitely explains why they are the only other brand with multiple flux cores.

The sticker on the spool looks with the exception of the brand name identical.
