Just create a workspace called "Italy", store all your related data in it, and when coming back, delete it.
-  * You use the application at various locations, and for each location often need to switch between different maps. Just create a workspace for each location, and for each workspace add the maps you need and save them some of them favorite maps. You'll be able to change the location by switching the workspace, and maps by switching the favorite set.
