Studio Legale Metta [SLM] have assisted me for over a year, first with a property purchase in Italy, then with acquiring the Italian residence, and most recently with sorting out the local taxes and utilities. For this last action, I would like to commend Corinna Cocolo who helped to untangle a big mess while being professional and friendly at the same time. The fact that I am a repeat customer of SLM is a strong endorsement on its own, but I would like to also make another point that recommends the firm: the invaluable help they provide to unpick the local bureaucracy, which can be opaque to outsiders like myself. Italy is a lovely country and its people are warm and friendly, yet, the business code is rather different from what you may be used to if you lived in the US/UK or Northern Europe. As I am reasonably proficient in Italian (read/write at least), I embarked confidently on setting the utility contracts on my own thinking: How hard could it be? After all, I had done this many times previously when living in the UK. And yet things got quickly into a mess. As for the local taxes (TARI), I did what the local authority site described as necessary, but I received no feedback to acknowledge the receipt of documents or to request more information. Just as well SLM provide the property management service! Once I approached them, Corinna fixed everything for us efficiently while keeping myself and my wife in the loop with her progress, making us feel like we were talking to a friend. In just a few days she sorted out everything and lifted the burden that we had been carrying on our shoulders for months.

Many thanks to Corinna Cocolo of Studio Metta Legale who helped me out to pay my IMU this year. It was a thoroughly professional experience, no hassle and completed on time before the payment deadline. I would definitely use this service again and would highly recommend her to anyone in a similar position.

Working with Studio Legale Metta to assist us with our Italian property purchase has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have made. Nicola Iannone handled the entire process seamlessly from beginning to end. Now we are working with the amazing Corinna Cocolo for our property management needs. She was able to connect all of our utilities in advance of our arrival in Italy. Corinna is very responsive and is available to help whenever the need arises. With our limited Italian, I could not imagine the obstacles we would have faced without Corinna’s help. We highly recommend Studio Legale Metta!

I've been a client of Studio Legale Metta [SLM] for many years now, and I can offer exceedingly positive comments about the firm. I first made contact with Nick Metta when I was contemplating purchasing property in Italy. Nick and his colleagues at SLM were extraordinarily helpful to me. They attended expertly to all my legal needs and identified a mortgage broker and an Italian bank that issued me the mortgage. I was also concerned about how I was going to pay for my recurring utilities and condominium and other expenses from the United States, and Nick and his colleagues set up an escrow account at SLM for me. I transfer funds monthly to the account, and SLM pays all of my utilities on my behalf: electricity, water, gas, television, telephone, condominium, taxes, etc. It's as painless and as easy as can be. Corinna Cocolo most recently has assumed responsibility for this function, and has performed professionally and collegially. Most importantly, everyone at SLM has become a dear friend. They're warm, gracious, professional, polite, and collegial. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have made the acquaintance of Nick Metta and his wonderful colleagues, and I recommend SLM with the greatest enthusiasm.
