Much like my sister in law who lived in Oz for more than 50 years without becoming a citizen(though I am pretty sure she could vote ...and was legally required to do so) you are, because you choose not to become naturalized, not a european then......you prefer to remain British...but with an Italian residency.
My sister, on the other hand is a dual citizen...she sees herself as Australian but with British roots...has embraced every aspect of Australian life.
The Aussies still see her as a
'pommie'.
Which all goes to show that nationality is more about how you see yourself, than where you actually live.
