Moving to Italy — can I do multiple types of work?

I’m working here on a visa, paying taxes — everything officially. I have a question: if I want to open an additional business (for example, an auto repair shop), can I do that with the proper paperwork? Or do I have to work only in the type of activity specified on the visa?

If you’re self-employed (lavoro autonomo), you can add multiple activity codes (ATECO); you don’t have to be limited to just one — the main thing is that everything is declared.

Thanks — I didn’t know you could add multiple ATECO codes. Is there any limit on the number of codes, or can you add as many as you want?
