In Italy many traditional banks charge a commission for both domestic and international money transfers, but newer online‑only banks ("banche digitali") often advertise "zero commissioni" to attract customers. When asking the question, using the polite "Ci sono commissioni…?" is appropriate in both formal and semi‑formal settings; you can add "per favore" for extra courtesy.
