Brave Search: Region setting

Good morning Community,
I read different posts on similar issues and tried to apply those solutions … unfortunately it didn’t work.
Every time I open Brave Search, I find Region set to United States and not Italy. If I manually change the setting, first time I close Brave browser it automatically sets back to United States.
It’s quite frustrating and after some days I had to move back to another default search engine … but it’s not what I wanted when I chose to switch to Brave.
Could you please suggest a solution to my problem?
Thank you in advance,
Simon
