Non-Resident Vehicle Ownership & Insurance

Hi all,I would be very grateful if somone could help me with the following two questions.1. I have dual UK/Italian citizenship. I've read somewhere that Italian citizens who are non-resident can legally buy, tax and insure vehicles in Italy. Anyone know if this is true. I've tried e-mailing ACI but they didn't reply. I've also written to the Italian Consular legal office in London but they're taking an inordinately long time to reply.2. When I insure a car in Italy under this Bonus/Malus system they have, will my vast number of UK no claims years mean that I get the full 'Bonus' benefit in Italy .ThanksGeraint
