Your English will however will not take precedence if you are resident in Italy. The inheritance law is governed no longer by your nationality but where you prevalently live - so if you are resident in Italy, then Italian succession law applies for any Italian property.
In theory yes, If the property is not divisible then a judge can order a sale, which in this case - seeing as 6 want to to sell and the one who doesnt has only 12% or so of the property - would be a sensible thing to do. Does your sister pay her share of bills, tax and imposte?
Marginally easier - assuming you're a non European citizen, you would apply for a permesso for motivi familiari and you have an address. You will need to get the yellow kit from the PO and fill it in within 9 days of your arrival in Italy, and get it sent off. Check online that you have all the documents necessary in the originals before you set off for Italy.
Rentals in Italy are either up to 30 days or for a year or more. It will be very very difficult to find something in between. Contracts must be registered at the tax office with all the associated costs, utilities put in the names of the renters, taxes paid etc. So letting a house for 3 months isnt worth it. You will find airbnb that you can rent for 3 separate months back to back - but obviously if you want to come in high season you will pay high season prices. If you are in low season, make an offer. Most owners would rather have their properties occupied than empty.
You will need a policy which covers rentals. It would be easiest and cheapest if your auntie could insure it in her name, but if thats not possible, try Generali or Genertel (the online version of Generali). They will give you buildings and contents cover. However most policies require that you are at the property every 60 days minimum. If that isnt the case, then it gets much more complicated, though generali did do a specific contract for clients of mine who couldnt guarantee the 60 day absence rule.
I agree with Ugo, you need someone to help you who is used to these actions by the tax office. As the agency accepted the letter on your behalf, they should help you - the tax office has your addresses and should have contacted you (unless the agency helped you get your codice fiscale and used their address on the form - in which case the tax office can legitimately send your mail there).
However it seems very odd - the notary when you bought should have appraised you of any possible rettifiche to the tax bill - and there is nothing that comes to mind, other than the notary didnt pay your tax due on the purchase.... If you want to scan and send me the letter I can tell you what the tax is for, because there is a statute of limitations on most things the tax office can ask you for and nearly 3 years is over the limit for most things connected to a house purchase.
Did you buy as prima casa? If so you had 18 months to transfer your residence to the comune where your house is. If you didnt then you will pay the difference in the tax you paid at purchase - 9% of the rateable value instead of 2%.
Is there land with your house - if so it may be that the tax office have decided you didnt pay enough for the land and has hit you with their valuation for the land, which will be the difference, but the tax office has 1 year to make such a rettifica, so you need to know when the tax office originally tried to contact you
However, the tax office should contact you, not the estate agent.
True Ugo. I have finally found the perfect dentist. I needed a filling replacing last year, one dentist gave me an estimate of 1500 because 'I need an implant' , another 1200 'it needs a root canal' - I got it done for 100 ' 'that'll take 10 minutes'. Its worth shopping around.
I wish I knew Ugo's dentist! Italian dentists are expensive - the really cheap ones are sometimes not qualified, and just set up in someones garage - there are endless stories in the papers about this. However, a crown will set you back around 600 euros, an implant around 1300-1600, a bridge about 1000. Alot of ITalians go to Hungary or Malta for their dentistry if they need a big job. Ask around and get personal recommendations (from someone with nice teeth!). There is no state dentistry care, you can only get it as part of facial reconstruction or remedial surgery.

Non residents usually get a discount, but you will probably have to visit the TARI office in the comune.
