: Apple Developer Program enrolling with a p.iva and the company name i am italian, i got a D-U-N-S number for my individual company (partita iva for those who know what it is). Now Apple is

This probably is not the best place to ask this question as it's not related with Webmasters, but as I know the answer, here it goes.

You don't have a company, you are a solo / individual entrepreneur that can behave like a company in terms of accepting payments after issuing invoices. Your VAT number or D-U-N-S as you say identify you and your ability to to commercial trading as a person / professional / entrepreneur.

A company, on the other hand has it's VAT number as a collective institution and therefore its number is different, that's why Apple is saying you should enroll as individual, because your numbers shows exactly that.

Just because you both pay VAT (or partitia IVA as you say) doesn't mean you are the same type of commercial actor. There's a difference between both concepts and Apple is right in this case and you'll lose nothing.
