You cant just give away a property in Italy, but I would suggest the solution is to let the local comune take it (if they want it) - and put it into sicurezza - so your first step would be to contact the comune.
It is highly unlikely. Firstly it will be in euros. You can check if citibank has an affiliate partner in Italy, but I think it doubtful with the current banking rules. Ask at Citibank if it is possible to deposit a euro bankers draft in New York.
Otherwsie, basically it has to be paid into an Italian euro account. Had they sold the property using the dedicated account of the notary, you could have had the money wired to you directly. Alternatively I presume your husbands share was sold via a Power OF attorney holder - so they could have been paid and wired you the money. As it stands you may well have to go to Italy and open a bank account to get the money.
Even if the notary was fluent in English, you would do the act in Italian.
You have the choice of a translator at the notary to translate the act itself - which is the most cumbersome way of doing it. Or you can do a Power of Attorney to someone who does understand Italian and they sign on your behalf. Either way, if you dont know what you are signing the act of sale is null.
You are either fluent in Italian or not. If you are you can sign the atto in Italian, if not you cannot translate your own documents.
A translator doesnt need to be an official translator, but the notary does need to be satisfied that they know what they are doing.
Digging around, a pipemiere, appears to have been a man who mined piperno ( a type of vulcanic stone very common in Campania. There were 12 mines around Sant'Angelo Lombardi. It would fit in with his contemporaries being scalpellinos in the mines - not a classic stonemason.
Hi. A circondario is a suburb, nowadays more likely called a Frazione. - so the outer part of a city. In your case Id say on the outskirts of the comune of Santangelo Lombardi.
A pipemiere seems to have some connection with mining and mines - is that possible in that area?
Deeds/acts of sale are held by the notary who did the sale (if he is still in business) or at the notarile archive - if you know the notary and the year he did it, or ultimately at the Conservatoria Dei Beni Immobili in the province/region. You can find out when your Dad bought by getting a visure catastale storica for the property, or searching under your Dad's codice fiscale for what he owns in such and such an area.
As a private user - ebay type - I have paid import tax on stuff from china to the UK, but not to Italy. However, its very hit and miss - I suppose it depends on what you're ordering. 1 watch or one miracle drain cleaner will be different to 20 of the same thing
PagoPA is not a company, it is the national system for paying public administrations. It is entirely designed, unsurprisingly, for Italian users, and will require a 'domiciliato' credit card for payments. If the comune is sending you the water bill, its a safe bet it will wait till you next go into a tabacchi in Italy.
you can click on Australia and see the conditions for reciprocity. It seems that Australia is getting more technical in allowing foreigners to buy, and therefore the same will apply here for Australians. I thought the rules were for foreign companies and investors, but it seems that they are now being applied to individuals too. If you check what Australia allows foreigners to buy, then that is what you are allowed to buy in Italy.

Its more an EU question, and the EU says that an old paper style licence should be replaced by the end of 2023 at the latest.
