11. E' istituita l'imposta erariale sugli aeromobili privati, di cui all'articolo 744 del codice della navigazione, immatricolati nel registro aeronautico nazionale, nelle seguenti misure annuali:
a) velivoli con peso massimo al decollo:
1) fino a 1.000 kg., euro 1,50 al kg;
2) fino a 2.000 kg., euro 2,45 al kg;
3) fino a 4.000 kg., euro 4,25 al kg;
4) fino a 6.000 kg., euro 5,75 al kg;
5) fino a 8.000 kg., euro 6,65 al kg;
6) fino a 10.000 kg., euro 7,10 al kg;
7) oltre 10.000 kg., euro 7,55 al kg;
b) elicotteri: l'imposta dovuta e' pari al doppio di quella
stabilita per i velivoli di corrispondente peso;
c) alianti, motoalianti, autogiri e aerostati, euro 450,00

So, what it basically says is that if you have a private aircraft and you're more than 48 hours in Italy, this is what you have to pay in taxes. For a loaded C172, you're looking at roughly 3000 Euro's (4000 US$) for a 2+ day visit to the country. For a glider it's a "modest" 450 Euro's...

I'm fairly certain this is an illegal tax (free movement of people and goods within the EU), but nevertheless it's the law for the time being...
