He will get a regular visa. About US$45. Pay by credit card.

I was there last in March 2008 for several days. I paid US$30 for the visa.
According to http://www.qatarembassy.info/ (It's the London embassy but
Italians should face similar conditions, I guess):
Transit visas:

There is no visa required if your transit is less than six hours AND you
don't intend to leave the transit area, alternatively you have to have a
visa.

Visas upon arrival at any port:

The following countries can obtain two weeks entry visa upon arrival
(payment of 15 pounds must be made on a major credit card and cash is not
accepted):



Andorra, Australia, Austria, Brunei, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea
(rep), Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Monaco, Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland,
United Kingdom, USA, Vatican.

Please note that those who had a resident or work permit for Qatar which has
expired or canceled during the last two years will not be able to get a visa
on arrival, and must apply for a visa before they travel.

Think positively! If you want to enter the country you will have to buy a
visa.

You don't want to stay at DOH - it's small and dull.

Go to the new Museum of Islamic Art and tell us all what it's like.
