A major problem with testing in Italy is when one is positive and then recovers from the disease. It is one of the few countries in the world that requires a double negative test to let you go out of isolation (2 negative tests within 24 hours). As the evidence now is clear that presence of RNA does not equate necessarily to infectious virus (good correlation until 7 days from symptom onset, the declining, and over 15 days here is no more correlation: in people with milder symptoms this happens earlier), and that people with milder symptoms usually clear viral RNA very slowly from their throats, this causes (and caused) a lot of people to be stuck in isolation for weeks, or months (the negative record is a 4 year old child who was confined for almost three months). The expert panel of the government won't change their guideline out of "precaution", despite the scientific evidence saying something different.
