Britain has removed Italy from the list of safe countries on the Covid front, which means that anyone arriving in the UK from Italy starting on Sunday must observe a 14-day period of self-isolation.
it is extremely recommended to transfer EUROS, coming from an Italian account, into the notary's account - if you transfer money in your country's currency - the notary's bank will apply to your money the exchange rate most convenient for you (earning on the exchange rate) - if instead the your bank, transfers euros or currency into an account in your name, international interbank agreements apply - which oblige the use of the current cross-border exchange rate at the time of the transfer - or you can use one of the various banking companies operating in the market of the cross-border monetary transfer, and which, themselves, apply the exchange rate in the current currency in the destination country (normally you can interact with these companies and negotiate the exchange rate) - these are services that I DO NOT OFFER - but of which I have experience - I have been dealing - for over 25 years - with mortgages for foreign customers who purchase in Italy - many here know this
right no Italian account! the seller will receive your payment in foreign currency, the Italian finance office - seizes the payment for illegal currency trading - you have paid, but you will not receive the house, since the payment does not reach the seller - You really have an excellent lawyer
if there is a power of attorney holder who has signed in your name, check whether the power of attorney says that he/she has complete management of the money received - If he/she has it, he/she can go to his/her bank and ask the manager to deposit the check into his personal current account and immediately transfer the proceeds, even in euros, to your account in the USA - if the transfer takes place in euros, your bank will carry out the currency exchange - The bearer's bank of power of attorney, will also communicate to the Revenue Agency (Italian Tax Office) the origin of the money and the reason why the money must not be registered as taxable, to be paid by the power of attorney -
If, however, the person who has the power of attorney does not have total management of the money obtained from the sale - You will need to open a bank account in Italy in your name and from there transfer the money to your bank account in the USA.
If you want to avoid coming to Italy to open a bank account, I can take care of it, this is also my job
you have the right to have a bilingual purchase contract, attached to the notarial deed in Italian, duly registered - obviously the costs for this service will be at your expense
If you are in Italy, you must go to the municipality offices, with both your passports, both tax codes, the birth certificate - if you are in the USA, bring the same documents to the Italian consulate, competent for the territory - and ask to unify the two tax codes

Laura , It would be interesting to know times and costs..
and , REMEMBER , you has to make a tax return in Italy, for this sum that you received in Italy, and transferred outside the Italian borders !
