How it works

You never have to set foot in Italy.

Have you ever pictured yourself owning a home in Italy — or finally claiming the Italian citizenship your family has carried for generations? Both are closer than you think. The catch is that both run through an Italian legal system that speaks its own language, moves on its own deadlines, and rarely forgives a mistake.

That’s where I come in. I’m Avv. Gabriele Barone, and I guide clients from all over the world in plain English at every step. Through a special power of attorney I can act for you from beginning to end.
