Hello,

I need to open an italian bank account in preparation for a possible house purchase and eventualy spending a lot more time there.

Can I do so without actually visiting Italy and my local branch?

Here's some more info. We are British nationals, my wife dual citizen Italy/UK and we are currently living and working in the US (Houston, Texas). We have our codice fiscale. I assume (??) that some Italian banks will have brnaches in the US (certainly New York, probably Houston I'd guess?) so I'm wondering if I can open an account through them?

Any experiences, thoughts?

With best regards and thanks in advance,
