Passing map array item as value in meta query

I have a cf of type map, which stores data in an array, including country, city, state, etc.

I’m trying to do a query with a meta query where the key will be an item of the array not the whole array. Like so.

'meta_query' => array(
		
		array(

'key' => get_field('location')['country'],
			'value' => 'Italy',
			'compare' => 'LIKE'
		)
	)

But it doesn’t work. It works ok if the key value passed is the whole map field (array) like so:

'key' => 'location'

Any ideas?
