VAT Validation skipped if country == IT?

    On the method “is_valid_vat__premium_only” on functions.php after a REGEX validation of the VAT, the following code is present: 

    
    if ( $country === 'IT' ) {
        return true;
    }

    Why when the customer billing country is Italy, VAT validation is only based on REGEX and an API call to https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vatResponse.html is not used?

    We added this as because there are various VAT formats in Italy and some of them are not valid with VIES.
    So as example if it is used a fiscal code the VIES will return that is not valid and not able to do the order.

    I am releasing a new version with a bugfix for this.
