Italy Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Italy company register data sits in the Registro delle Imprese (Business Register), holding S.r.l. shareholder data directly, integrated with the Registro dei Titolari Effettivi (Registry of Beneficial Owners) under Legislative Decree 231/2007. General public access is suspended, with a January 2026 decree introducing a qualified-interest model requiring documented evidence of an ownership mismatch, at a threshold of more than 25% of share capital. Simple and general partnerships and listed companies are exempt from registration, while S.p.A. shareholders — unlike S.r.l. — have no equivalent public disclosure and sit in a private libro soci instead. The register verifies self-declared UBO name, birth date, and Italian tax code directly; it records the UBO but not the ownership chain, so intermediate holding structures above an Italian entity still require external sources to resolve.
