for personal reasons, I was checking on an interesting site maintained by the #EU:single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/single-market/…
Apparently, there has been a drive to make it simple to register for business in any EU country. But check what I wrote against the official wording: (/)

"register for business" is different from "Starting a business". One thing is getting a VAT number, a local tax code and provide an address. Actually STARTING a business, and I have been involved in that, it's a different kettle of fish. But, out of curiosity, I checked. (/)

If you peruse the different country sites, you will see a list of businesses which are subject to specific authorities and approval processes, banks come to mind, and every country has a list of those. That is, every country except #Italy. (/)

Italy in fact has a SPREADSHEET, of 370 lines and 9 columns, reporting the activities subject to special permissions, licences, etc. and on top you can only set up through a notary public.
Welcome to Italy, friends.
