Francesco De Maio - Your Italian Realtor

06/30/2026

Almost everyone who buys in Italy ends up saying the same thing: “I wish I knew.” 🇮🇹

So tell me yours. If you’ve started the process, or you’re up at midnight deep in the research, what’s the thing you wish someone had told you sooner?

Drop it in the comments. I read every one, and the best questions become videos so the next person walks in ready instead of guessing. 👇

The first number to check on any Italian listing is the price per square meter. Not the total price. In Italy, value is reported in euro per square meter in the official records, and that’s how you tell if a home is in line with the rest of the area.

Quick conversion: one square meter is about 11 square feet, so €1,000 per square meter is roughly €93 per square foot.

Here’s where to check, all free:
