What is the legal process for buying property in Italy?
Italy's property market spans every conceivable price point, from €30k Abruzzo hillside cottages to €20M Cortina d'Ampezzo penthouses. Conveyancing is notarised by an Italian notary (notaio), with extensive cadastral records (Catasto) digitised since 2014. The 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina-Milan have catalysed €1.7bn in alpine infrastructure investment.
