Looking for a complete, personally planned vacation? Explore luxury Italy travel, or email the travel desk directly.

Tell the desk what you want to do in Italy.

Moving, tracing a family line, buying a home, planning a trip, studying or working. Describe it in a few lines. We read it, tell you what it would take and who needs to be involved, and put the next steps in order with you. Nothing is agreed until you say so.

How the desk works

One point of contact. The order kept for you.

Italy is a sequence of records and decisions. The desk's job is to keep them in the right order and to know when a licensed professional must step in.

  1. 01
    You write.

    From your own email app, in a few lines. This page does not submit or save your message.

  2. 02
    We read and reply.

    What it would take, which records are public and which step needs a licensed professional: an immigration lawyer, a licensed estate agent, a notary, a commercialista, a licensed travel agency. If you ask, we help you brief the professional and keep the order of the decisions.

  3. 03
    Nothing is agreed by accident.

    Any scope, fees and arrangements must be agreed in writing before you commit, with us and with anyone we involve. You decide every step.

The desk does

  • Read your case and map the official route
  • Say which records are public and how to request them
  • Name the licensed professional a step needs
  • Prepare the questions before you pay anyone

The desk never does

  • Give legal, tax or financial advice
  • Promise eligibility, approval or a result
  • Hold your money or book in your name
  • Replace the professional the law requires

What you can write about

Six ways to start a conversation.

Each one has its own sourced guides on the site. Start there if you prefer to read first; write when you want the order kept for you.

Move to ItalyVisa path, residence permit, the order of the documents.

Tell us: Where you live now, your citizenship, why you are moving and when.

We map the official route and the records it needs, say what is public and what needs an immigration lawyer or a relocation agency, and put the next steps in order with you.

Italian citizenship and family recordsWhere the record is, what the 2025 law changed, who can file.

Tell us: The ancestor's place and year, the family line, the documents you already hold.

We locate the comune, archive or parish that may hold the record, separate what you can request yourself from what needs a genealogist or a lawyer, and say when a question belongs with one.

Buy or rent a homeA deed, a lease, a one-euro house: what each one does and does not give you.

Tell us: The area, the budget, whether you will live there, and your timeline.

We explain what a purchase or a lease can and cannot decide about living in Italy, and prepare the questions for the licensed agent, the geometra and the notary before you pay a deposit.

Plan a tripRoute, timing, transfers, tickets, money.

Tell us: Dates, travelers, budget and the places on your mind.

We can help with your itinerary, hotels, transfers, experiences and bookings. We confirm the scope, travel provider and terms with you before you commit.

Study or work in ItalyAdmission is not the visa; a job offer is not the permit.

Tell us: The university or employer, your citizenship, your dates.

We lay out the stages in order, from pre-enrolment or the employer's file to the residence permit, and flag where a consultant or a lawyer enters.

Something elseA long stay, a pet, a business, a wedding, a question nobody answers.

Tell us: What you want to do, where, and when.

We say honestly whether we can help, what it would take and who could.

Before you write

Questions before you write

Is this legal, tax or financial advice?

No. The desk reads your case, maps the official route and says which licensed professional it needs: an immigration lawyer, a licensed estate agent, a notary, a commercialista, a licensed travel agency. We do not replace them and we do not promise eligibility, approval, a residence permit or a property result.

Does writing cost anything?

Writing is a first conversation and commits you to nothing. If a next step involves a scope or a fee, from us or from a professional, it is agreed with you in writing before anything starts.

Who reads my message?

Italy, Sourced receives it through email. We do not forward your inquiry to a professional without your permission. Your own email provider and ours process the message as part of delivering it.

Which address do I write to?

The composer picks it for you: travel questions go to travel@italysourced.com, everything else to planning@italysourced.com. You can also write to either address directly.

Does this page store my details?

No. This page does not submit or save anything. Your answers stay in this tab until you open the draft in your own email app and choose to send it. Leave out passport, payment and medical details.
