in a few hours but I dont have any of my work printed, I lost it all on the move from Italy to here.
Is it ok to take my CV only?

What kind of job is it? If it's a job where you have to prove your skill (if you haven't already), I would say yeah you should probably bring some. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything but you probably shouldn't mention that you lost it on your way over, sounds pretty bad in the ears of the employer.
"Yes mister, I am a plummer but I forgot all my tools on my way over, but I swear, I can fix your clogged toilet" See what I mean?
Don't you have anything online? Just give him a couppla URLs?

yeah I have sent them my work online and they have seen it, I have something to show them online but not in print.

if tis a job for web design i wouldnt worry about printouts. just leave them a copy of your printed cv. It'l be fine

Well thats the strange thing, its an interview for web as art director but I dont have any web in my folio. And nothing online that Im willing to show them either, just print work. So Im a bit concerned as to why they decided to intervewi me

In my eyes.... your fucked.
Why didn't you think about this when you actually applied for the job?
Says to me: unorganised, scatty, doesn't really want the job.

I agree with Dancer...
Why have you only just thought of this a couple of hours BEFORE the interview?
Run some out...and then run to the interview, and as it's for web take a list of URL's with you.

Or...take a Laptop with your portfilio site on it – and just talk through what they've already seen online. Your work looks good, good luck
