My assumption would be that, assuming all the plans were submitted to the comune and 'approved', - you are OK. If not - whoops [but remember - its stood up for some time already, so don't panic]
Have you tried asking the comune if they know of any English speaking Notarys in the area? Their email address is;- info@comune.montefioredellaso.ap.it
Don't know if they speak English - but have you tried;-

At least they should know the local 'rules and people'
"It depends where you are going. The Uk taxes worldwide gains - so if you were returning there! I would take advice on that." You could forget to tell Mr Osborne on your return
Good Luck
"Its a small village and I can't help thinking that the geometra and his builder mate are working together to see how much they can squeeze out of the job." Yes you have the right to ask for more estimates. However, if you are worried about 'upsetting the locals', just reject the estimate and ask the geometra to seek a lower one from the same builder. [I got around a 50% reduction on a tiling estimate that way]
Assuming you are using a local geometra, who knows how the Comune works - if he says you can start, I'd follow his advice - thats what you pay him for I well remember the opposite occurring, when I had to instruct my geometra to commence building works before the 30 days was up, risking the 'Wrath of Khan' from the Comune if a neighbour reported me [which they didn't]
"I have been told by an omeopathic doctor that LEDUM PALUSTRE in granules ( you can buy it in farmacia) is very effective." It is a homeopathic remedy for the effects of insect bites and stings - not for preventing them. Mossies tend to be attracted by the CO2 you exhale - so changing body odour wouldn't make much [if any] difference Use DEET
"would the Commune ever know?" Probably - If borehole - the rig would be a bit obvious If hand dug - 20+ cubic metres of 'spoil' to dispose of Plus neighbours reporting etc etc
