Hello! have you tried to look for companies here? http://www.prontoimprese.it You can find any kind of company in all areas of Italy. If you are looking for windows, your should put "infissi" as a keyword or "serramenti e alluminio" as a category Then enter the town or the province. I've used this more than once and found many useful contacts. Good luck! 

Hi Chewdog,maybe this magazine may be useful "CasAntica" i have found it very good for renovation ideas.You can look on its website www.Casantica.net/click on left side/"Find the hard to find"(Trovare L Introvabile) here you will find a whole directory of listings of house renovation components.                                 All the best,Atessa.                                                                                                                 "

i would suggest if allowed aluminium as the solution, and you will find makers of windows of this type in almost every small town in Abruzzo and they will all charge pretty much the same .. easiest way might be to see windows you like nearby and just ask that person where they bought them.. anyway before you recoil in horror on the metal solution they come in all sorts of colors and can even be made with real wood inside whilst appearing wood on the outside further thoughts, depending on where your property is.. ie high in the hills or inland L'Aquila you should install the highest spec double glazing you can afford, and they will most probably advice this.. adriatic side and in the hills you can drop down a couple of degrees in spec so it will be a lot cheaper windows here are not simple, and i would suggest essential additions to my mind are shutters which can be regulated and roller blind insect screens , and with aluminium these will last a life time and it will be a job to do once.. the infamous dia will be required most probably which will just state you are initiating the work and that the comune says ok.. the window company might well do that for you especially if they are local .. and its a simple but messy job..  make sure the company does the measuring as that covers any mistakes as theirs, i would use the builder they suggest as well as the main problems occur if builders do not get the hanging structural frame fitted square and level this is another area they can delay and fight over
