The only thing that your (or, or, etc) comune don't "care less about" is about what your tax status is.

You must remember that when you move to Italy, you are an immigrant. In your case, being a US citizen, you have the same rights to live here as, for example, a Mexican in the USA. You must comply with the immigration laws if you wish to stay in a foreign country, which is clearly defined and which the comune must follow and comply with..
