Two kinds of delibera
In Italian a resolution is a delibera, and the minute that records it is a verbale. Most of them are drawn up by the company itself: the chair writes the decision into the book of decisions, the members sign, and nobody outside the room is involved. A small class is different. Where the law insists, a notaio attends, writes the minute as a public act and keeps it in his own register.
That divide is not about how weighty the decision feels. A resolution to open a branch abroad can be a plain house minute, while a change to the statuto has to go through a notaio. So the honest answer to how to legalize a Corporate Resolution is that it depends on which of the two you are holding.
Working out which one you have
Look at the head and foot of the sheet. A notarial verbale names the notaio, carries his seal and a register number, and reads as his account of the meeting. A house minute names only the chair and the secretary and lives in the company's own book. If in doubt, ask the studio that usually advises the business; a phone call settles it in a minute.
The counter follows the form
Padua splits legalisation work by whose signature is on the paper. The Prefettura, sometimes given as Prefecture, takes signatures belonging to public offices. The Procura della Repubblica takes the judicial and notarial pile. A notarial verbale therefore goes to the Procura at the Tribunale di Padova, where the clerk checks the notaio's hand against a specimen.
A house minute has no public signature at all, so it cannot be stamped as it stands. Someone must first certify that the chair or the secretary really signed it. Once that is done the file follows the certifier. So embassy legalization of a Corporate Resolution in Padua can end up at either counter, depending on who did that job.
Before you queue
Check the minute against the register while you still can. Names of directors, the powers being given and the date all have to match what the chamber of commerce shows, because the reader abroad will compare them. Attach a fresh chamber extract if the board has changed since the meeting. Fix a wrong name now rather than after three stamps have gone on.
Fees and the calendar
Only one figure here is certain. A €16 marca da bollo goes on the Italian file, bought over a tobacconist's counter. A notaio or other certifier sets a charge of their own, and the consulate sets a fee it can revise whenever it likes. Reckon on 10–15 business days once the minute is signed. Missions that keep an urgent window can turn it round in 3–5 business days.
What the far side does with it
Banks, registers and counterparties read a minute to see that the person signing their paperwork was actually authorised to do so. They ask for consular legalization of a Corporate Resolution in Italy because a photocopy proves nothing. Whether that consular seal is owed at all rests on the destination country, so ask the receiving authority and keep their written reply on file.
If a sworn version is also wanted, order it before the Italian desk signs. One stamp then covers both sheets, and you pay to legalize a Corporate Resolution in Padua once. Confirm in writing which language the receiving office reads, then book embassy attestation of a Corporate Resolution in Padua on the finished bundle.
