Well I'm sure others here can give you a more authoritative reply, but it sounds to me like these are just normal certificates you need in any case for a house in Italy regardless of renting out (but which I'm sure you will need to have also to do so).
Well best of luck on what sounds like a great adventure, which we really know it is Abruzzo (where we live) is a rugged, but beautiful place, but every place we have been to in Italy has been like that - yes we love the country!
I assume it is to be a holiday home? If not and it's to be a live 6 month here and there, there is a bigger problem than just security. We have been living there 5 years plus, but have left the house for 5 months at times. No problem whatsoever as far as security is concerned, but friends less than one kilometre up the same road has been broken into twice. Others we know of in other areas have also been broken into more than once. Saying that many, many more we know have never had a problem. I think exactly where you live has a big impact on the matter and how you live! Can’t be sure of this but our friends had a people carrier KIA with GB plates outside, we have a 2 door Punto with Italian plates. They live just off the main road, well in view of passing cars, we live off the same road, but up a drive over 200m long where you can’t really see the house. They have been there a few years longer and are known in the area as they both speak good Italian, one almost fluent. They even attend church every Sunday, so are seen around the place when there. Their house outwardly is in much better state of repair than ours, although a lot smaller. I know it’s a worry when you first start out as it was for us and still is of some concern when we leave the place. However overall I think it’s a lot safer place than most of the UK, but you still need to take “normal” precautions.
Think it would be nice if people did not hijack posts, start another and let poor Sarah at least have a chance to sell her caravan specified in her original post
I think the answer to the above debate lies somewhere in the middle. But I have to say tht in the last few years things in Italy have indeed become better....
Well best wishes for your first trip! You still have lots of time to research and plan and hopefully someone here can give you first-hand knowledge of your destination. Not too sure what information you got in Feb, but there is lots of information on the web about almost everywhere. Have to say for a first trip, Italy is a big step. Had a look at streetview on Google here and Buonalbergo (Wiki and Google spelling, assuming this is the place). looks a lovely place, but is on the small side regarding facilities. This site will give you information on the Comune there, stats show less than 2000 people. I would suggest you also use Google maps and streetview to have a look at the road trip from Naples. At major junctions you use streetview and capture pictures (using the likes of snipping tool) the signs for your junctions and exits and put them on a tablet or print them and take them with you. Hopefully you will know a lot more about your destination before you get there...

Give us a clue Modi who is this "Sammy" and what did they say?

'cos you just walk into them... Google "walk in baths" and look at the images. They have doors and the adds target the older of us here....
You might want to provide a little more information to enable people to help, such as the duration and, reason for the visit?
Really pleased for you, it sounds like you have a helpful comune (as we do), it makes all the difference.
