Hello, That's a bit complicated. First if you are planning to settle in Italy, you should pay Italian tax and not British. Until you are married, you will have difficulties to obtain a visa based on your relationship. Even after you are married there will be rules (and a certain period of time before she acquires British citizenship) while although she can join as a family member (wife) of a EU citizen, you will have to provide evidence that you can support her etc. I posted a response to another member regarding the spouse visa requirement. That might help.
