Presumably you will have a tax (free) allowance in Italy as in the UK. Surely it's not necessary to engage an accountant to help you manage (with apologies) a pretty paltry sum. No wonder the black economy is so large in Italy!  I'd be tempted to keep mum...

"Foreign nationals - that is non-EU citizens - may enter Italy provided that they hold both a valid passport and, if required, an entry visa issued in their country of origin. As soon as foreign nationals enter Italy they should apply for a residence permit based on the same motivations specified on their entry visa. A residence permit is not required for business, tourism, short visits or study, provided that the stay does not exceed 3 months. EU nationals do not need a residence permit to stay in Italy."   ( from the link above) Note the last point.

At the risk of sounding like a scratched record ..firstly insulate and draught proof to the highest standard you can. Then  perhaps a bunch  of solar panels and as Sagraiasolar says the good old heat pump.
