American buying a sailboat in Italy, changing Flag?

[joed]

Hi everyone,
I'm american born/reside there and i'm buying a sailboat in Italy, I do not plan on bringing her back to USA, i want to keep her in Italy full time. As say a vacation home. VAT has been paid etc. So i was wondering if i should change her flag to USCG reg. or can i keep her Italian flagged?
thanks!
