Antonio Strangio

Born and raised in Calabria, I am an Italian lawyer who works with international clients moving to, investing in, or building a life in Italy.

Over the years, I have assisted individuals and families from all over the world with property purchases, visas and residence permits, inheritance matters involving Italian assets, and the many legal and practical issues that can arise when dealing with a different country, language, and legal system.

I worked closely for many years with Ms. Barbara De Benedettis, the founder of BDB Relocation & Legal, assisting foreign clients relocating to Italy and helping them navigate the Italian system with clarity and confidence. In 2026, I took over the management of the project, continuing its development together with the wider structure of Studio Strangio.

Today, through BDB Relocation & Legal, we focus on three core areas: Italian real estate, immigration law, and cross-border inheritance matters, assisting clients throughout Italy with offices in the province of Reggio Calabria, Rome and Bologna.

I am also the founder of Tutela Ereditaria, another project by Studio Strangio dedicated to inheritance and estate matters. Through this work, I have become one of the recognised Italian voices on succession and cross-border inheritance issues, regularly assisting international families dealing with Italian assets, foreign wills, probate procedures, and disputes involving multiple jurisdictions.

My approach has always been practical, straightforward, and highly personal. I know how overwhelming the Italian system can sometimes feel for international clients, especially when important life decisions, property, family matters, or immigration issues are involved.

Whether someone is purchasing a home in Italy, planning a long-term move, dealing with inheritance matters, or simply trying to understand how things work here, my goal is to provide clear guidance and become a reliable point of reference throughout the process.
