Starting January 1st, 2021 UK citizens are considered non-EU nationals by all means. They will need to undergo the necessary immigration procedures to stay in Italy for longer than the 90 days Schengen allowance.
Such limitations are not applied to UK citizens who were registered with the Anagrafe (Register Office) of the Municipality (Comune) before Jan 1, 2021. These individuals can continue to live, work and study in Italy. They are required to apply for documentation that will provide evidence of their status in Italy, as opposed to those UK citizens who are not covered by the WA (i.e. not registered before 31/12/20) and therefore do not enjoy the same rights.
