As title. Italy is decided to pass a law that basically creates a chinese-type
firewall in the country. The question is simple: even if I’m not doing anything
illegal, my VPN provider will have to know what am I doing to report it in case
it’s illegal, or face jail. So how could my traffic remain private in this
scenario? Can a VPN provider with no logs policy be held accountable of
anything? Can it actually know what I’m doing?
If it truly keeps no logs, then it cannot tell what you are doing. But otherwise, a VPN provider can indeed tell what you’re doing because you are only shifting the trust from your internet service provider to your VPN provider. I would highly recommend something like IVPN or Mullvad and only pay for it in Monero. That way, even if logs are kept, you are just a number account to them and they do not have a name for you.

New to me that https is broken
don’t have to break TLS to know what site you are accessing. The SNI of the cert does that.
The specific url however is protected by TLS.
They see what sites you are visiting yes but they do not see what you are doing on them. They do not see the content of the traffic. Huge difference.
