You can still buy a SIM card in a different EU/EEA country and use it in Italy at domestic rates. Given the very low prices in Italy right now, you can also think about buying a Italian SIM and use it in other countries. But be aware of the Fair Use Policy that limits this use.

You need to have a little understanding about the start-up costs in Italy. It's not so much the physical SIM card, but there is still a lot of paperwork associated with an Italian prepaid subscription. The vendor needs to put a lot of data into a database and this takes a while. That's why most sellers try to charge something extra on top.
