I want to start a private zoo

So your local authorities do not demand any credentials regarding your professional expertise and experience on behalf of (wild) animal husbandry and zoo (business) management? No evidence of factual training in any relevant field? No declaration of agreement by the local municipal administration / municipal authorities, the nature conservation or the public construction authority, the federal veterinary office, the fire service or the local neighbouring residents? No proof of insurance? No certificate of good conduct? No construction permit? No business plan, no financing model, no business registration etc? So in a nutshell, everyone can open up a zoo in Sardinia? Geez; sounds a lot like Oklahoma or Wisconsin to me. Maybe I should have established WdG there in the first place...;)
I'll answer One question at time:
1-2)I want to start from the basics, not immediatly a official zoo
3-4)Only if I keep dangerous animals like big carnivores and agressive herbivores
5)Why? If I've been in prison I can't open a private zoo?:confused: Besides I've never been to prison.
6) I can build whatever I want in my property without a permission except houses and work places.
7) Again, start from the ground.
8) Yeah but nobody except me wants to do it:D.

Even if you do not want to start with an "official" zoo, you're nevertheless planning to establish a publicly accessible(and probably also commercial) animal husbandry. Which is regulated by both international (i.e. EU) and national (in your case: Italian) laws. Depending on the relevant laws, your qualification and aptitude to keep and showcase animals will be evaluated by the local authorities. And if they have any doubt about it (hence the certificate of good conduct), you won't be allowed to keep certain animals or even any animals at all. So no, you cannot do just anything legally on your grandmother's property, unless it's officially allowed beforehand. I had to obtain all the things I've listed (and more) to get my zoo license. Maybe it's different in Sardinia, but I doubt that you will be able to proceed without having to deal with bureaucracy.
@TheEthiopianWolf03 good point.
