In a marriage without property separation, do both spouses have to come to buy a property in Italy?

For married couples without a property separation agreement (what in Italy is called “comunione dei beni”), usually both spouses must agree on real estate transactions. However, this doesn’t always mean that both parties must be physically present during a property purchase in Italy. Here are some options:

• Power of attorney (proxy):
• The presence of both parties
• Spouse’s consent
