Italy....
 

Current Italy Information -  What I have been told in an email is that things are better now.  They are down to 17 breeds of dog defined as dangerous and have special requirements (insurnace, kennels and muzzles).  A copy of the law (in Italian) can be read here.   The list of dogs deemed dangerous:

 

ALLEGATO

Elenco delle razze canine e di incroci di razze a rischio di

aggressivita' di cui all'art. 1, comma 1, lettera b, della presente

ordinanza:

American Bulldog;

Cane da pastore di Charplanina;

Cane da pastore dell'Anatolia;

Cane da pastore dell'Asia centrale;

Cane da pastore del Caucaso;

Cane da Serra da Estreilla;

Dogo Argentino;

Fila brazileiro;

Perro da canapo majoero;

Perro da presa canario;

Perro da presa Mallorquin;

Pit bull;

Pit bull mastiff;

Pit bull terrier;

Rafeiro do alentejo;

Rottweiler;

Tosa inu.

 

Because I don't read Italian to confirm the above is accurate I have left the original information below.

 

Around 2003 Italy passed BSL against 92 breeds of dogs.  The BSL varies by breeds, some are banned some are restricted. 
 

This is the list of the dog breeds affected by the restrictions in Italy
