Four depths within each topic. Most people don't need all four — some start by learning the landscape and go from there, others come in already knowing what they need done, and we're here for them as well.

What you can expect

Our commitment

Most of what Americans read about Italy is out of date or written to sell something. I'd rather tell you that your citizenship line closed in 2025, or that your product isn't ready to launch, than take the engagement and let you find out in two years. If the scoping call tells me I'm not the right help for you, I'll say so and you pay nothing.

When I am the right help, we agree on three things before any work starts: the fee, the deliverable, and how long my side of it will take. The fee is fixed — no hourly billing, and if the work turns out to be harder than I estimated, that's my problem, not your invoice. Third-party costs are passed through at cost, with no markup and no commission-sharing. And the lines stay clear throughout: I do orientation, planning, and bilingual execution, legal determinations come from the Italian attorney I work with, and tax and notarial work from your own Italian professionals. You'll know exactly who's responsible for what, and what each of them costs, before anyone starts work.
