EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Stig HaugdahlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Rosario Mannino for help when buying a holiday apartment in Anzio. He organised viewings, both digital and physical in advance. He helped us make an offer and handled contact with the broker, the municipality, notary and geometra for us. In addition, he has been helpful in finding a commercialista (to pay TARI and IMU) and insurance agent afterwards. We would never have managed this on our own. Big thanks to Rosario from us.Posted on Christian PaulusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just moved from the US to Rome and Rosario was there to help me through every step of the process to purchase an apartment. He was instrumental in helping me to find an apartment, negotiate the price, take care of all legal aspects and finally close the purchase. He protected me against all legal issues and since he had negotiated a great purchase price for me his fee is more than covered. I can highly recommend Rosario.Posted on ΡΕΝΑ ΚΙΟΥΛΑΦΗTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Molto professionisti con risultati ottimi! Grazie ancora! Complimenti per il vostro lavoro!Posted on Flore C.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rosario Mannino m'a été d'une grande aide. Il a pris le temps de m'écouter et de m'expliquer les tenants et aboutissants des procédures, et il m'a aidée à rédiger ma déclaration en italien, qui n'est pas ma langue maternelle. En plus de la dimension humaine, c'est un avocat consciencieux, qui m'a toujours tenue informée en temps réel des avancées du dossier, m'a envoyé rapidement des messages de rappels si j'avais oublié de lui transmettre un document, et m'a même spontanément rassurée lorsque les procédures traînaient en m'écrivant qu'il restait bien sur le coup. Enfin, l'accord qu'il m'a négocié m'a été très favorable. Je le recommande donc chaudement, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés, y compris si vous êtes expats car il a beaucoup d'expérience avec un public international. Merci encore Rosario !Posted on Carlo NakhnoukhTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Preziosissima la creatività nel trovare soluzioni a problemi, anche in tempi brevi. A questo si aggiunge competenza e disponibilità, anche sul piano umano (non scontata). Davvero consigliatoPosted on steve paulsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the privilege of working with Rosario Mannino at Studio Legale Mannino & Associati, over the past three years during the process of purchasing a wine farm in Italy — a journey that was both exciting and complex. From the very beginning, he provided not only expert legal advice but also genuine personal support. His deep knowledge of Italian property law, attention to detail, and calm, clear communication made every step feel manageable — even when things got challenging. What sets him apart is that he goes beyond being just a lawyer — he truly becomes a trusted partner. I always felt that he had my best interests at heart. Over time, this professional relationship grew into a real friendship, and I’m incredibly grateful for both. If you’re looking for a legal professional in Italy who is trustworthy, responsive, and truly invested in your success — look no further. I can't recommend him highly enough.

FAQ
Can I purchase property in Italy even if I’m not a resident?
Yes, foreign citizens can buy property in Italy even without being residents. However, for certain nationalities (e.g., Canada), purchases may be restricted due to reciprocity agreements. Our Firm, through its professionals, assists clients with all necessary fiscal and bureaucratic procedures, including obtaining an Italian tax code.
Is it necessary to come to Italy to sign the contract?
Not necessarily. It is possible to grant a power of attorney to a legal representative, even from abroad, to sign on behalf of the client. Our Firm handles the drafting and legalization of the power of attorney, streamlining the entire process.
What checks are carried out before the purchase?
Through our professionals we conduct thorough due diligence on title, encumbrances, mortgages, and planning and cadastral compliance, thereby ensuring that the property is free from risks and suitable for sale and purchase (conveyancing).
Can the Firm assist me even after the deed is signed?
Absolutely. We offer post-purchase assistance, including tax obligations, ownership transfers, and support with renting or renovating the property.
