For the purposes of recognition of a foreign award the applicant must produce the award in the original or in a certified copy, together with a sworn translation into Italian, as well as the arbitration agreement resulting from an arbitration clause or a submission agreement (compromesso) signed by the parties or contained in an exchange of letters or telegrams complying with the 1958 New York Convention. A dispute concerning the performance of contractual obligations does not involve non-disposable rights and may be referred to arbitration under Italian law, so that the award determining it is capable of recognition provided it contains no provisions contrary to public policy. Recognition of the effectiveness in Italy of a foreign award does not entail recognition of its immediate enforceability.
