State Funded Legal Aid

WHAT IS LEGAL AID? 
Legal aid (commonly called free legal aid) is an institution guaranteed by the Italian State that allows all citizens meeting certain income requirements to benefit from legal protection without bearing the costs of proceedings (lawyer's fee, unified contribution, notification costs, etc.).
