An American real estate agent is not licenced to sell property in Italy, where you must be a qualified and registered member of the REA such as the link above, (even though a .org is techincally a public interest organisation and not a private company). The front page of the website should show the IVA number and the REA number.
It depends totally on the type of property you're looking for. Also, 'at your age' renting may be a better option, especially as Bari is easy to get to as long as Ryanair flies there. It also depends how much of the year you plan on being in Italy. Some people say rent for a couple of years and then youll know if you really want to buy. Bear in mind the market for sales is not like the UK market, and its unlikely youll make a profit if you buy and sell within 10 years. So, its all down to personal choice really. If you have the financial resources, better to buy a small flat in the UK, rent it out and use the money to pay the rent in Italy
Shame! 100.000 lire in 1930 is equal to about 90.000 euros now.
However, a buono is only valid until its expiry, but it can be cashed for 10 years after its expiry. After that its worth nothing. Given the history of the Italian government grabbing money from defunct accounts, its a fair bet that it has all been absorbed into Italy's national debt. There should be an expiry date somewhere on the buono, though i cant see it.
In my experience a lawyer who is probably based hundreds of km from you will do only what a decent agent or any other person can do i.e.: check public documents available on the internet and translate (well or badly) documents in Italian. In the above example, the CDU for the land would have shown clearly what you could or couldnt build, and has to be provided by the seller before the sale. The notary must have this certificate to complete the sale, but doesnt need to explain it; after all the notary isnt interested in what your dream house is going to look like.
A CDU for a piece of land 22 metres wide, which has a minimum building distance from the boundary of 10m, will automatically mean you can build a house 2 metres wide. Obviously a buyer who speaks no Italian and has no knowledge of Italian law will need someone to check paperwork and help them through the process, at the risk of ending up with an act which is null. Whether you need a lawyer, a translator, an architect, an agent or a bloke from the bar to help you through it is your choice.
You cant use the bonus to buy a property, only for doing subsequent works - which fall into certain categories. If you are non resident, and therefore pay no tax here, you can only use the incentives if you succeed in ceding the credit to the building company or a bank.
It depends on which contract you have. If its a 4+4 contratto libero you are responsible for manutenzione ordinaria and some straordinaria, TARI, bills and utilities. If its a contratto transitorio then the landlord is responsibile for much more including some of the TARI.

The notary should make it all watertight in the text of the atto, so you can hand over the keys when you sign the the act of sale.
