    If it just needs to be witnessed the solicitor doesn't need to speak fluent Italian. All they do is sign to say they saw you sign.


    They do the same with the ID they don't need to understand what it says

    Does the witness need to be a solicitor?

    If it needs to be validated you need a notary public. Witnessing a document and notarising it are two very different things.

    Quick phone call to the Italian Embassy? I imagine their consular section keeps a register of solicitors, doctors, dentists etc. who speak Italian.

    Italian Embassy would be your first port of call.

    You will likely need a notary public not just a solicitor.

    I ended up using https://dublin2notary.ie/ in the end and he was excellent, he can do Portuguese/Spanish documents too if people need them.
