Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Italian counsel to Bending Spoons S.p.A.

This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Item 8(a) of Form F-1 promulgated by the SEC and Items 601(b)(5) and (b)(23) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K promulgated under the Act.

We have examined and relied on such corporate records, certificates and other documents solely in relation to the Company made available to us as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including the certificate of registration (certificato di iscrizione e vigenza) of the Company filed with the Chamber of Commerce (Camera di Commercio Industria Artigianato e Agricoltura) of Milan, Monza, Brianza and Lodi dated , 2026 and the results of electronic queries relating to the Company issued by the Chamber of Commerce (Camera di Commercio Industria Artigianato e Agricoltura) of Milan, Monza, Brianza and Lodi dated , 2026.
