Resources
Selling and buying in Trieste, properly explained.
Reference guides, not news: what the job actually takes — paperwork, taxes, timings, prices by neighbourhood. Written once and kept current, including the parts nobody enjoys hearing.

What you actually pay when buying in Italy: first-home and second-home taxes
Rates, fixed amounts, the price-value mechanism that lowers the taxable base, and the first-home conditions you must keep to avoid losing the relief.
