A new structure for the Notarial Council of Milan
The Notarial Council of Milan has officially announced the composition of its new board, representing 583 notaries operating in the areas of Milan, Busto Arsizio, Lodi, Monza, and Varese. Among them, 235 are women, and 136 are under the age of 40, demonstrating a significant generational shift within the notarial profession.
In 2024, the Milanese notarial sector welcomed 25 newly appointed notaries, while 10 notaries retired. Notably, there has been a 28% increase in registrations in the notarial trainees’ register compared to 2023 and a 39.4% increase compared to 2022, marking a reversal of the downward trend in previous years.
The newly elected councilors
During the Assembly of the College on February 22, four new district councilors were elected:
- Giovanni De Marchi
- Carlotta Marchetti
- Monica Ray
- Antonio Teti
All four operate in the city of Milan and will join the confirmed members of the Notarial Council, which will continue to ensure the institution’s proper functioning while keeping a close eye on the sector’s evolution.

“We are pleased to announce the election of four new councilors, completing a board that will continue to work with determination in an ever-evolving context. Our work will focus on challenges such as the digitalization of notarial services, adapting to new regulations, and ensuring transparency and accessibility for citizens. The notarial profession plays a crucial role in assisting individuals and businesses in key moments of their lives, ensuring legal certainty and legitimacy in contracts and agreements.”
