Having ‘lived’ in Italy for 22 years (until quite recently) my advice is not to try to be legal as it causes all sorts of problems, and the bureaucratic laws and the southerners in the Questura etc who make these forms/decisions will delay things and it will go on and on.
I was living there, but earning in the Persian Gulf and so went to the Questura for a living permit but without liability for taxes. They said I represented a ‘black hole’ in their regulations, and also being British (and part of EU) they did not, and could not issue a Permesso di Soggiorno.
They sent the papers to the Head Questura for Toscana in Firenze and its still there after more than 18 years.
So just forget it - send them a ‘fake’ bill for your services every month, and tell them to pay you in cash. Believe me they will also be very happy to pay you that way as they do not have to ‘employ’ you legally with all the various contributions and red tape that an employer there must endure.
