Its not a policy, its a law. The state want to know who owns what and where they live. A car is a bene mobile, like a boat, a plane or a work of art - therefore its purchase and sale are registered. Personally I think its technically illegal under European law to not allow EU citizens to buy a car - but it would need a class action to change anything. There is no way around it, but you could call your Euro MP.
As a legal resident of Spain you should have a Schengen visa which you will need to remain and travel in Europe. however once in Italy you will need to apply for a Permesso di Soggiorno as a non EU national, and go throyugh all that process - which will require you to have a reason to be here, either for tourism, or work or elective residency - and all of those require an address, a job contract or the ability to show you are independent financially and wont be a drain on the Italian state. If you want to 'study' you will need the Permesso di Soggiorno for study, which requires a course and an offer. You cannot work before you have your PdS, and if you apply for a PdS to study, you cannot use it to work .Your ideal solution is to find a job and be offered a contract to use for your PdS application - and then you are set up for at least a year. Its not easy - but mother tongue teachers are in demand. Good Luck
TASI is a new tax which along with IMU makes up the IUC, or the imposta unica comunale.. IMU is not payable by prima casa owners, but TASI is. For second home owners, everything is payable. which basically puts up your bills by about 20=25% ver the year, though some comunes have decided not to charge TASI and just stick with the IMU.
Its just bad timing, and there is nothing you can do - the exchange rate is what it is. As an Italian there is nothing you can do, they are all in the same boat.!
Slightly blushing, here's my 2 pennorth worth. In little hill towns away from the coast, and tourist areas, there is no reason why you cant find a decent house for 30.000 euros - but - even though it seems cheap, dont be afraid to bargain and offer below the asking price. IF its on the open market its because the locals aren't interested. Then, you need to know that the paperwork is in order - usually houses are cheap because there is a problem - if not structural or with the house itself, then with the paperwork. However, if you're using an agent they have a legal obligation to make sure the paperwork is in order. If the house next door, above or below is falling to bits, then thats agood clue as to why its cheap - its very difficult to force neighbours to pay for essential works - and you may well end up paying to restore two houses instead of one.good luck.
Sounds good to me - obviously you will need a 'professional' to handle the project, paperwork, permissions and so on, and to be director of works and sicurezza. But obviously you cant do it ALL yourself, and will need a helping hand or two - and that will also mean people taken on by your company unless you subappalto /contract out.
Unfortunately it doesnt matter what you are at the moment. You will need to have or be employed by a building company or a libero professionista, who is registered at the Camera di Commercio, and can supply the right certification (A DURC which shows you are up to date with your contributions/taxes). This company/person must be cited in the application for the building concession, and all the paperwork for the comune. IT may be there is a way round this, but basically to build your own house legally, or at least build it and then have agibilità and be able to sell it in the future, is very difficult.
No. Unless you are a builder or work for a builder - or have your own building company. The problem is that the engineer who will be your director of works, takes responsibiliy for the people on site - if you as an 'unregistered' builder/roofer etc is found during an inspection, your professional gets it in the neck. So unless you are the company that bids for the contract to build your house, you cant work on site.

No you cannot buy a car - it requires a passaggio di proprietà which requires residency.

Most restaurants in Italy (especially the south) are local family restaurants. There are very very few chains and franchises.
