I imagine Italy and the US have a similar treaty in place.

I believe that the similar dynamic occurs amongst states, relevant in our circumstance for GPs that are Ps within a multistate firm. You've gotta pay state tax for not only the state in which you live, but also the other states in which the firm is situtated.
Many states, I think, have tax treaties that allow credits of one set of paid taxes against those owed in the other jurisdiction.
