Legal Question in Criminal Law in Italy

do attorney have to share all of their evidence as soon as they aquire it?

In a criminal case is all evidence shared between attorneys?

Once evidence is aquired by both sides Plaintiff/defendants attorney is it obligatory that all evidence is shared as soon as it is aquired?

Or is it a tactic from the defense attorney to with hold evidence?
