If youre in London you can try the Italian tourist office near picadilly - or a branch of Thomas Cook ....

Or you could stop someone and ask them in English - and you will find that alot of people (certainlyin the north) speak ENglish.   Go to the usual tourist haunts such as Venice and Florence and everyone speaks ENglish.   Smile, wave your arms and ask in your best broken italian and throw away your iphone translator and the Italians will like you much more.   By the way your translation (google?) above, will just get you blank looks from Italians as its nonsense.     Try speaking Italian - its fun.  You are after all visiting Italy.

I would doubt that they have an obligation.   It may depend on whether you are resident in Italy - as if you live there full time you would have more sway with the water company.   If you arent reached by mains pressure on a shared pipe, you wont get it on a individual pipe and will need a 'pompa a pesca' .  Whatever, you will pay for it, not the water company!  But its worth asking....

Going in August isnt going to help.  However there are 150km of beaches in Siracusa/Ragusa - and ITalians wont walk far to a beach.  So aim for those where you need to walk a bit.  The Vendicari reserve south of Noto,  Porto Ulisse,   Capo PAssero - you will find that in August there are still deserted beaches.  If you want sunbed brolly and ice lolly to hand, you wont have the same luck. Just drive the car, find a place, and stop.

Sorry I wasnt very clear.  If the owner sells to you with a clause which says he retains the ownershiip but gived you possession until the last rate of payment is made, you wouldnt be able to get a concession.  If he sells to you outright and you just pay in rates, then there is no reason why you couldnt get a concession because you will be the legal owners.  I hope it works out for you..

Yes its possible, at the seller's risk however. ONce the act of sale is signed and you decide not to pay there is very little the seller can do.   Any retaining clause will not allow you to get a concessione edilizia.  New build in Tuscany? I thought that was now impossible.   Re remortgages in UK - now virtually impossible if you want it for Italy....

I suspect that this is ultimately a problem for your employers, and not you.  However, do you mean that you are registered at the anagrafe as a resident?  You cannot delete a codice fiscale.  All you can do is 'emigrate' out of Italy - ie tell the anagrafe office that you are leaving to go back to germany for example.  This will not affect your rental contract - it would have been better if your company had rented the apartment in their name.

It will be a local associazione so you'll have to find out what there is around you.  The idea of turning up, paying a fiver and selling stuff does not exist in Italy - you wont get far - either with the people that control the market, or the police or the GDF

As long as you are not selling new stuff, you can have a stall in a flea market run by an associazione of some type and sell 2nd hand stuff without all the usual paperwork.  You will hvae to be a member of the associazione.

Not that simple Im afraid.  You will need a geometra or tecnico to do the reaccatastamento, pay the fine because it should have been done a couple of years ago, and then pay the Catasto for the voltura - it will cost you around 1000 euros I should think.  This assumes that it is catasto'd  F.R.   A cheaper choice would be to have it reclassed as a unita colabente - always as an Ente Urbano but it will mean you dont pay taxes on it.   Basically you need to get your geometra to sort it out - whether its worth it for 10mq is for your to decide. ...
