What are the residence requirements for an Italian investor visa holder to transfer to EU permanent residence?

I’ve read that there is no residence requirement for Italian investor visas, whether it is in the first 2 years of the card or in the 3 years of the card renewal. But my question is, if I want to apply for EU permanent residence in Italy, are there any residence requirements for these 5 years? Would I qualify for this as an investor visa holder?
