Interim Measures in Italian-seated Arbitration after the 2023 CPC Reform: Tribunal Powers, Available Remedies, Timing, Court Support, Appeals and Enforcement
For arbitration proceedings seated in Italy and commenced after 28 February 2023, the reformed CPC (s 818) authorises arbitral tribunals to grant interim measures where the parties have agreed in advance, including by incorporating third‑party rules within their arbitral agreement, before the start of the arbitration proceeding.

the arbitration agreement, also by incorporating third‑entities’ regulations (eg rules of national or international arbitral institutions); or
a written agreement entered into before the commencement of the arbitration proceeding.

Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign and Domestic Arbitral Awards in Italy: Procedure, Grounds for Refusal, Appeals, Costs and Timing
In Italy, the recognition and enforcement of international arbitral awards is governed by sections 839–840 of the Italian Civil Procedural Code (CPC), which gives effect to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the New York Convention). The New York Convention was implemented in Italy by Law no. 62 of 19 January 1968.

If the counterparty has no residence in Italy, the competent Court of Appeals is in Rome. With the petition, and in line with Article IV of the New York Convention, the petitioner must lodge:
the original of the award
the instrument containing the arbitration clause, and
certified Italian translations of these documents
At this stage, the other party is not summoned. Once the formal validity of the award has been verified, the President of the Court of Appeals will declare the enforceability of the...
