How much you really need to buy a home

On top of the price there are taxes, the Italian notary (notaio: a public official, not a notary public) and mortgage costs. Find out the funds needed to reach the deed of sale (rogito): free, in 2 minutes, no sign-up.

To buy a home in Italy you also need an Italian tax code (codice fiscale): if you don't have one yet, ask your notary how to get it.
