    ⁣Are Islamic Finance operations feasible in Italy?

    By Stefano Loconte for IFN Islamic Finance News Volume 17 Issue 26 (1st July 2020)

    “It is remarkable that the Italian legal framework does not forbid but at the same time does not even expressly authorize these operations. The main reason why these operations are not performed in Italy is due to the fiscal costs. In fact, these financial operations are subject to double taxation compared to the traditional ones. The costs incurred will not be, economically speaking, sustainable for the banks.

    Enjoy!

    “After its postponement, we were waiting for Art Basel in IRL (in real life) in September, and all top collectors and dealers had already booked their usual room at the Le Trois Rois.

    However, between podcasts and webinars where the art world discussed if and how it will survive and whether collectors are now familiar with buying online, eventually Art Basel was forced to cancel this year’s edition and postpone its 50-years celebration hopefully under Miami palms, once these “challenging times” are over.

    So Art Basel (Basel) opened once again only as a virtual fair, starting yesterday with 2 days of VIP previews preceded by a “virtual welcome reception” on Zoom with the directors Marc Spiegler, Noah Horowitz and Adeline Ooi.

    No champagne, physical human contact, or networking, but the art fair added new features on its platform, making it much easier to navigate, including interactive content such as videos of art or artists explaining their works, providing framework to the 4000+ artworks to browse through, otherwise art dealers and collectors would be at an endless scroll.
