MEET THE FOUNDER
Avv. Selvaggia Amore
Founder, Legally Italy
Member of the Rome Bar since 2004.
Licensed before the Superior Courts
Italian bureaucracy can be overwhelming, even for Italians. I founded Legally Italy to give foreigners with interests in Italy what I would want myself: clear answers, honest expectations, and a lawyer who stays with you from the first question to the final result.
Over more than 20 years I have handled civil litigation, immigration and real estate matters, and for the past eight years I have helped Italian descendants obtain citizenship by descent, both through consulates and municipalities and before Italian courts. I work with clients in English, Italian and French.
