Application of the Lex Koller with Italy - Reciprocity
Swiss citizens face restrictions when acquiring real estate property in Italy due to the principle of reciprocity enshrined in Italian legislation. In fact, through the principle of reciprocity anchored in the Italian Civil Code, the same Lex Koller restrictions apply specularly to the acquisition of real estate in Italy by Swiss citizens. This means that Swiss citizens are required to carefully comply with all these restrictions to purchase property in Italy.
