Ugo,

 

If you think that suggesting that the UK government advice to talk to the Italin Consulates of Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs about visa options, is deceitful, may I suggest you review what you consider deceit to be.

Ugo,

The UK government website also suggests that approaches are made to the Italian Consulates in UK for advice on how to get approval for longer stays. 

It has some useful 'links' to facilitate/begin this process

The important thing is that talking to the Italian Consulates before travelling may (and I stress 'may') be beneficial

 

""To stay longer, to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons, you will need to meet the Italian government’s entry requirements. Check which type of visa and/or work permit you may need with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Italian Consulates in London, Manchester or Edinburgh before booking an appointment .""

"assuming you're a non European citizen"

Do you mean "non-EU" or "non-European"?

Had a quick look on 'via michelin' at the effect of going via Luxembourg and GotthardTunnel, as opposed to going direct via Mont Blanc Tunnel.

Seems it takes (in theory ) only about 30 minutes longer, and the overall cost is slightly less,allowing for 2 vignettes.

Of course, the return journey would be 80 swiss francs cheaper, as you already have the vignettes
