The judicial decisions issued by the courts of a foreign country are generally directly valid in Italy, provided that certain requisites exist. However in order to proceed with enforcement in Italy of a foreign judgment, is required an application before the competent italian courts.  This application starts a special recognition and enforcement proceeding of foreign judgments, with its own specific rules and conditions. According with Italian laws the competent court for this kind of proceeding is the Court of Appeal.
