Italy is one of the worst countries for business, consistently so in every study and list made about it.

Starbucks ( ! ) just opened its first ( ! ) and only ( ! ) store in Rome a few months ago.

It goes the same for most popular world chains. You'll find UNIQLO in France or Spain, forget about Italy.

If you want to be in a place forever frozen in the seventies, go to Italy.
