The point is that what matters is what is legal for an Italian citizen first. That defines what you can and can't do, what is legal, what isn't and how things should be structured. Everything else is second.
"depends on how you use it"... that's my point exactly. You want to collect money elsewhere and pay yourself with the purpose of evading Italian taxes. No one here knows anything about Italian tax law and i am quite certain that all EU/North American tax law is similar in the sense that the law doesn't make it ok, just because you "use it" a certain way. You are an Italian citizen. Your stated intent is to avoid paying taxes in Italy (a crime or not, depends on a 100 tiny details).
In my life, i've had company's in the Isle of Man, Czech Rep, Netherlands, Great Britain, Belize, Russia (many many), Latvia, BVI, Cyprus and many others i've forgotten. It has nothing to do with the jurisdiction or legality of porn. It has everything to do with Italian/EU laws on tax avoidance and whether or not you are committing tax evasion in Italy.
Never forget that you can't sign tax documents and submit them and then "un-sign" them when you've realized you're in trouble. When you break the law, its permanent and there is a paper trail and nearly ALL of these so called offshore jurisdictions are going to fully cooperate with Italian authorities if there's reason to suspect you're committing a crime (i.e. tax evasion).
It's been quite a few years since i've had some complex business structures, moved large sums around the world etc. But one thing i do know, it got more complicated in every western nation, not easier.
