According to the law, everyone can donate a part of their inheritance (the so-called disposable share) to non-profit organisations, in order to support charitable and solidarity-based activities.
You can choose to donate any type of asset, of any value:
Real estate (flats, land)
Movable assets (jewellery, works of art, furnishings)
Money, severance pay or life insurance policies
Securities, company shares or investment funds

10 common questions about legacies
How can I make a bequest to Sanfilippo Fighters?
In order to make a bequest in favour of SANFILIPPO FIGHTERS, you can name us in your will either as heirs (by allocating the entire estate, or a share of it) or as beneficiaries of a legacy (cash contribution and/or a specific asset/right)
If I make a will in favour of SANFILIPPO FIGHTERS, are my heirs protected?
Of course, legitimate subjects (spouse or civilly united party, children, parents) are always protected and are always entitled to a share of the so-called ‘legitimate’ inheritance, even in the presence of a will.
What happens if I don't make a will?
In the absence of a will, the law provides for the lawful succession, which allocates the estate to the next of kin: children, parents, spouses or civil partners, relatives up to the sixth degree. In the absence of relatives, the estate is devolved to the state.
Who are the beneficiaries?
The legitimate subjects are: the spouse or civilly united person, descendants (children) and ascendants (parents). They are entitled to a share of the estate (known as the legitimacy), even if there is a will that provides otherwise
What is the available quota?
The disposable share is the share of the estate that, subject to the share of the legitimates, may be freely donated by the testator, including to non-profit associations.
Is the will amendable?
A will is a personal act that may be revoked or amended at any time. The last will drawn up always remains valid, regardless of the form used. In fact, the will remains valid until revoked expressly by a more recent will (e.g. ‘… the present will supersedes and annuls the previous ones…’) or implicitly (new provisions incompatible with the previous will).
How many types of wills exist?
The holographic will and the public will are the most commonly used forms.
PUBLIC: a will drawn up by a notary in the presence of two witnesses. The witnesses must not be related to the testator and must not be named in the will as beneficiaries.
HOLOGRAPH: this is the most common form of will: it is written entirely by hand, including date and signature, directly by the testator, in legible handwriting and without corrections. The presence of a notary or witnesses is not necessary.
