I ignore what happend, but between Italy and Australia there's reciprocity: an italian can buy there and an aussie can do it here.
Here's the communication realased by the italian foreign ministery:
MIN. AFF. EST.- Serv. Cont. Dipl. - Uff. I
21.3.2000
PAESE: AUSTRALIA
ACQUISTI IMMOBILIARI:
E' verificata la condizione di reciprocità.
COSTITUZIONE DI/PARTECIPAZIONE A SOCIETA':
E' verificata la condizione di reciprocità.

It would appear, if confirmed, that some notaries know their job better than others. It is common to have to show the regulations to a desk jockey but this is the first I have heard it about a notary.

If Italians could not buy houses in Australia where would all the Melbourne bus drivers live?
Most advice that is printed on buying property in Italy is geared toward the UK or US markets, and as such focus on the legalities for these two nationalities. Some books I have read on the subject have made passing reference to Australian and New Zealand requirements, but never in enough detail to be useful.
Also, from the Italian side, I guess if they see you coming over from the UK, they sometimes make an automatic assumption that you are British.
It is annoying - and in your case has added expenses to what is no doubt already an expensive process.
