"VISURA CATASTALE"

 You should however remember that visure catastale are not legal documents - they are not proof of ownership and can be, and are often, wrong.   They are also free - if you pay it is because the agent/geometra who supplies them subscribes to a service and wants to recoup his outlay - the actual visure and estratti di mappe are gratis.

 Yes, you can get them free of charge if you are prepared to spend a whole morning at the Agenzia del Territorio in your capital city. We tried to do it that way and it was an absolute waste of time. The amount they charge is very small, I think that it was around 10 euros and you get your copy at home via the Internet within a few minutes. 

 10 euros!  Here they are between 1 and  3 euros.   The difference between north and south!   Most Geometras, some estate agents and sbrigapratica subscribe to SISTER for a couple of hundred euros a year - and download all the visure free.    

 Well, we must say it is an imaginative way to pay for their subscription; however, I found it useful and worth the expense. Parking downtown for nearly 6 hours would have costed us the same.

 You can also do this online via the post office website www.poste.it under other services.  The link to this ishttp://www.poste.it/online/certitel/

 This is yet another time when I miss the "Grazie" button. The service seems to be slightly cheaper than the one we used last year. 

Thanks for the info, very useful   Between Google Translate and my dictionary, fingers crossed that I order the correct document!
