How little you know of Italy! You paint a picture that is totally wrong. Italy has 3 economies. The ordinary documented one. Then there is the black economy at least as big to by pass very high rate of IVA (VAT) and finally as big again the Mafiaa economies. Mafia proper, Sacro Coronata, Ndrangeta, Etc. That is why Italy is in such a state. The access to tariff free markets of EU is a red herring. and of course unlike Britain Italy is a big manufacturer from clothes to cars to fairground rides and agricultural equipment. Indeed she is supplying the trains for one UK franchise soon. And I believe possibly for HS2 if it ever gets built. Funny that Trump Is so against free trade!
