Sometimes like in NAP you'll see something like

though it's a controlled airspace. Bela Italia always good for a surprise
Why be surprised?

It is standard ICAO procedure. Close in obstacles less than 200ft may not be taken into account when deciding the promulgated climb gradient. A warning will be added to the chart and the obstcacles will be notified.

Seem to remember that Bela Leeds had something like that but it may have changed.

The UK is the only country where lots of IFR airports have no ATS, No departure procedures and no Approach procedures. Makes Italy seem positively normal!!
