If and when lab grown meat will be a thing for the masses, Italy will follow suit because "Italy would not be able to oppose the sale of synthetic meat produced within the EU when it does gain EU approval, because of the free movement of goods and services." Furthermore governments change and legislation follows them. Anyway, people will decide which kind of meat they prefer. Taste, cost, availability, etc. Italy didn't have to ban Starbucks when they eventually opened in the country. It did no harm to its espresso heritage. Some people went to Starbucks, nearly everybody didn't, even in the few cities where they had a shop. I think they have less than 20 shops in all the country. Espresso is still well alive, bars survived Covid, Starbucks too.
