Does anyone have a holistic view of the Italian market?

Dear community,

I would like to get a sense of the current situation before considering to start a searchfund in Italy.
Happy to hear from you on any of the topics below:

-How many deals happened last year, how many YTD?
-How many searchers are active?
-How many negotiations are on-going?
-Do searchers tend to compete on the same deals?
-What target growth rate is typically asked by investors to unlock a decent equity ownership?

Thank you!
