Italy: a treaty applies, but an apostille is safer
For Italy a treaty formally removes legalisation, but in practice an apostille is often asked for — it is safer to obtain one.

Which document are you taking to Italy?
Choose the document and the region of issue: the chain of steps appears at once.
Italy has no single national register of sworn translators: the translation is certified (asseverazione) at the registry of the local court (Tribunale).
The 1979 treaty formally removes the need for legalisation, but Italian authorities (the Questura, comuni, universities) almost always require an apostille.
