Getting a VAT number for purchasing items in Italy

I am trying to attend a trade show to be held in Milan in September for my small import business.  In order to register, I must obtain a VAT number.  Does anyone know how I can go about doing so?

 

Also, is there paperwork that I will need to fill out every year for having this VAT number? 

 

My company is based here in the USA, but I am a dual citizen of both the USA and Italy.  I'm not sure if that makes any difference! 

 

Thank you!!

If you're a non-Italian buyer, you don't need an Italian VAT number; I suggest using something 00000000000 or something similar to go through a badly programmed registration website.

These things, which slow the growth of the Italian economy, are maddening!

Really?  That is great news!  I will try to register and let you know!  Thank you.
