No I meant Tunisia, which is quite close to Italy.

I'm not sure, but I don't think I mentioned it's in Europe. Just across the Italy.

Maybe not 0.15 and maybe not half a kilo but a whole kilo for 40p (approx 0.47 euro) is certainly cheap:

Not saying that it’s equivalent quality to Barilla but it’s definitely much cheaper

Cheaper brands also in Italy are sold for 0,50-60€/kg but not the best, that are about 1,5-2€ for a kg
Barilla 1,6€ https://www.carrefour.it/p/barilla-tortiglioni-n%C2%B083-1kg...
Brand not famous 0,7€: https://www.carrefour.it/p/pasta-reggia-48.-fusilli-1-kg/800...
But the price can be very different if you want a top pasta

Barilla is good but is not the highest quality brand, it is the most famous because of ads. De Cecco is better and slightly cheaper (I checked your link), possibly because they spend less in ad campaigns (and maybe in packaging?).

Yes I agree, also Pasta Voiello is a good one (and La Molisiana), I’m using Barilla as example because it’s the most famous. Anyway other best brands ar usually on the same price as Barilla, or slightly more expensive.
I don’t think you will find a box of 0.5kg of pasta at 0.15€ in Europe. Maybe you’re getting confused between a box (half a kilo) and a kilo of pasta.
