No Passive-Income Permit in the Act - the Route Is a Visa Decree the Act Does Not Contain
Answer
The general rule applies to you
No exception is recorded for citizens of Cuba on this topic. That is the answer, not a gap - everything below is the rule you get, unchanged.
98 exceptions recorded across 37 countries · none match Cuba to Italy · Residency on passive income
The immigration Act creates permits by activity: employed work, self-employment, study, research, family, investment. It creates none for a person living on their own money. The route Italy actually uses for that reader - residenza elettiva, elective residence - comes from the visa decree rather than from the Act, and that decree is not read here. What the Act does say is that entry and stay beyond three months are allowed outside the quota for the investor cases of article 26-bis, which is the only place in the statute where money alone opens a door.
At a glance
- A permit written for passive income
- None in the Act
The Act's residence permits are listed by activity and none of them is living on one's own means.
- What Italy uses instead
- The elective residence visa, created by the visa decree
That decree is not among the documents read here, so this record does not state its conditions.
- Where money does appear in the Act
- Article 26-bis, for investors, outside the quota
The number is the article of the Testo unico, quoted below, not an amount.
What applies to you
Nothing changes for a citizen of Cuba
We have no rule recorded that treats your citizenship differently here, so the general rule above is the one that applies to you. That is an answer, not a gap.
What the law says

Standing: Maintains the text in force
Cannot be cited for: It gives the text and not its interpretation. Article 3-bis reads clearly and has still generated years of litigation over what it means, which is why the Constitutional Court is watched alongside it. A consolidated text can also lag a very recent amendment.

Practical notes
This record exists to stop a reader looking for something the statute does not contain. The elective residence route is real and is in an instrument we have not read, and saying that is more use than paraphrasing a consulate page.
The investor record carries the figures in article 26-bis.
