Yes, you can decline your inheritance, but you cannot gift it. If it is declined then the existing heirs get your part, divided according the quota and the law.
The Canone Rai is debited from your electricity bill, but it depends how much depending on whether you have monthly or bimonthly bills - To be honest Ive never thought about it not being taken if you have a credit - I just assume they would catch up over the year. There are theoretically 10 monthly debits of 9 euros each. I have bi monthly bills so they take 18 euros each time.
Anyway, if you have to pay by F24, you need an italian bank account, or you can go to an accredited tabacchi and pay it there though they will need your tessera Codice Fiscale. If you dont have the plastic card, you will need to go to a bank or a PO and plead with them to pay for you - technically they have to, but they try and only pay their own clients F24s.
in the reason for payment/causale you must put your codice fiscale, the year the payment covers and the tribute code, which will be TVRI if you've paid before. TVNA if its a new user.
Without knowing when the apartment was built, it isnt easy to offer advice. If the finger plates on switches are aluminium, then the electrical system is prior to 1973 and will probably need upgrading, appliances are now much more power hungry than they were 50 years ago, and 1 or 1.5mm cable is not to going to be enough. The owner should either provide certification for the electric and water systems or declare that they were legal when they were put in. If its the latter then assume they will need work.
Barclays italy sold all its private residential mortgages last year to Mediobanca - and they are now held by CheBanca.
Barclays Italy is now run by Barclays Ireland (another benefit of BRexit) so the chances of speaking to someone in the UK is zero I would think.
If you want a balance, try enquiring about extinguishing your mortgage and they will have to tell you how much is left to pay off - you can download the form here: https://www.barclays.it/moduli/
You mean agriturismo o turismo rurale?. Assuming you meant the first, you have a long way to go. The principal of agriturismo is that you go to an agriturismo to eat/stay and eat/use the property's produce while you are there. So olive oil, almonds, vegetables etc. In your case, you need to clean the land, and plant something. If you want to be BIO then the land must be certifiably free of products for the next 5 years. Its a long haul, and then you have to decide if you want to do hospitality. Obviously the prerequisite for this is taht you are a resident and will live there.
For turismo rurale there are loads of rules which change from region to region. They can include making sure the entire property is fenced, access, facilities, etc etc.
There are some incentives for young women to start businesses, and various other state and European help, but if you're a male and over 40 you're most likely on your own. The paperwork is legion, and you will need a good command of Italian to negotiate it.

If you opt for the payment from abroad by wire transfer then you dont have to do the F24 - its one or the other.

However, on the agenzia delle entrate site there is an option for foreigners without an Italian bank account to pay by wire transfer : https://www.agenziaentrate.gov.it/portale/web/guest/canone-tv-non-resid…

It will probably count as Turismo rurale so you need to know what your region and your commune require and allow.
Are you looking for a fixed line or a mobile?

You may know all this but...

This year the reduction is back to 50% apparently, but will still need to be rubber stamped by the mille proroghe.
