One of those .nl (Netherlands) is open to anyone. You're in Europe, and that is what gave you access to registering .it (Italy).
However, most people I recommend:
.am (Armenia)
.at (Austria)
.be (Belgium)
.bz (Belize)
.cc (Cocos Islands)
.ch (Switzerland)
.co (Colombia)
.cz (Czech Republic)
.dk (Denmark)
.fi (Finland)
.ge (Georgia)
.is (Iceland)
.li (Liechtenstein)
.me (Montenegro)
.nl (Netherlands)
.nu (Niue)
.se (Sweden)
.to (Tonga)
.tv (Tuvalu)
.tw (Taiwan)
.ws (Samoa)
Why? 🤔
All of these countries have strong protections for freedom of speech, including speech that defends and promotes minority rights — such as LGBTQ+ rights. Domain registration is open to everyone... You don’t need to be a citizen or own a business in any of these countries.
That last bit of information is the important part, since it applies to everyone -- Anyone can register these domain names.
