If you want to study or work in Italy, the foreign employer or training institution will often ask you for proof of the legal status and the level of your Dutch education and/or diploma. What about the recognition of your diploma in Italy? The Education Executive Agency (the former IB group) will help you obtain such proof.
The Italian Consulate General in Amsterdam issues statements about Dutch diplomas for use in Italy.
