I am not sure what you are talking of. The italian "permesso di
soggiorno" or german "Aufenthalterlaubnis" means rather literally
"permission to stay" (compare "soggiorno" with "sojourn").

We have (or had, I am not sure) a "certificato di esistenza in vita"
(lit. certificate of existence in life). It was the sort of the document
a pension fund paying a pension into a bank account would periodically
require to prove the recipient of the pension was still alive.
(if one did not want to show up at the bank counter in person).

Nowadays for relations between a citizen and the public administration,
or between offices of the public administration, it is sufficient to
sign a self-declaration ... it is actually forbidden to a public
administration office to require a certificate for an info they can
obtain directly from another office.

So certificates issued by the public administration can be requested
only by private organizations.

Of course all that is gold does not glitter, so I do not dare say that
things are THAT improved with things like the "informatic protocol" or
the PEC (certified e-mail, replacing registered letters).

I'm not talking about a residence permit. A life certificate is an
official proof that you are alive and not dead.

If I understand correctly, the IRS doesn't understand the concept of tax
residence?

Part of the problem is that the USA doesn't have an avoidance of double taxation
agreement with Europe?

The IRS sort of does. If a USA citizen is an ex-pat and files (submits
tax documents, forms, and payment if necessary) from non-USA address,
then the overseas status is documented, and the ex-pat will receive
the exemption.

Otherwise, though, the USA ex-pat is responsible for stating _all_
income subject to taxation worldwide, no matter where the residence.

The only escape from this is to become the citizen of another country
and renounce USA citizenship. It's happened.

Unfortunately, the only places I would WANT to live (Vienna, Brussels or
Paris) are too expensive for one with limited means. The same is true
for many places in the U.S., alas. Also, Medicare (and American brands
of medical insurance) do not cover me in Europe. That's a factor a
great many Americans don't realize until they need medical care abroad.
(The rest of the civilized world has medical coverage for all its
citizens, with reciprocal agreements in place for citizens who travel.)

A fresh baguette is good, but on my lone French trip I eas more often
offered stale pieces.
