- the summons was duly served to the other party;

- the judgment has become definitive in accordance with the law of the place where it was delivered;

- the judgment is not contrary to any final judgment delivered by the Italian courts;

- there is no trial pending before an Italian court on the same matter and between the same parties;

- its provisions are not considered to be contrary to the public order in Italy.
