Sebastiano - if only it were that easy.
The advantages full time employees or 'dipendente' have is that they are paid a set salary, presumably based on a certain number of hours. They normally get 8 hours a day, plus they are paid for the time spent preparing lessons, training, etc.... In addition pension contributions are paid by their employer.
Even if a libero professionista were experienced they should spend at least 30 minutes preparation for a 2 hour lesson. They would travel to and from each job (which can easily use up 2-3 hours of unpaid time a day). They would also do well to get more than 3 sessions of 2 hours per day.
So the €46 per hour becomes a net €69 per day for 6 hours teaching, or some 9 hours including preparation and travel (but excluding training).
So they would be lucky to earn €8 per hour, which is why so few drive big cars!
Of course more would like to work for the state but the qualification procedure seems to involve some 2 years unpaid work.
