What's different about a Letter of Intent in Italy
The same mandatory good faith duty and reliance-damages exposure from article 1337 apply to LOI negotiations, and because articles 1341 and 1342 require a second, specific signature to make certain clauses (forum selection, arbitration, remedies limitation) effective, an LOI governed by Italian law conventionally carries that separate signature block.
