Building permits in Italy: a guide for foreign buyers
CILA, SCIA, building permits and heritage constraints explained clearly.
Not every work requires the same permit: light extraordinary maintenance goes through a CILA, structural changes require a SCIA or a full building permit.
On listed properties every visible intervention — windows, facades, roofs — requires heritage authority approval, with processing times that must be scheduled.
Our technical office manages the whole process with licensed professionals, so the client signs only once.
