When the direct, indirect and combined or reflexive unstressed pronouns meet a compound form of a verb the pronoun is always before the verb.

Attention:
After the pronouns lo, la, li, ne the compound forms have a particular behavior.

Example:
" Ho visto dei bei fiori e LI ho compratI. "
In this example, the past participle agrees in gender and number with the direct pronoun.

In general we can say that the past participles of the verbal compound forms has to agree with the direct pronoun if this precedes the verbal form.
