Introduction
What You Need to Know
Everything you need to know to manage contracts in Italy stress-free
Signing a contract in Italy involves specific legal requirements that vary by agreement type. Employment contracts must comply with national collective agreements (CCNL), rental contracts require registration with the Revenue Agency, and property purchases follow a structured process involving a notary.
For non-EU citizens, there is an additional layer: the type of residence permit held must be compatible with the contract being signed. A study permit, for example, limits the employment contracts that can be executed. Understanding these connections is essential before committing to any agreement.
Contract review covers employment, residential and commercial rentals, property purchases, banking and insurance products, and any other agreement requiring a signature in Italy.
