Canon Abilities: Not immortal, but has a long lifespan and heals differently than human. Canonly proven that time distortion happens to humans and animals that are close to them. Has enormous strength, but is often too cowardly to display or make use of it.
Possessions: Only wearing boxers, and a ring.
Personality: Italy is a very special sort of nation. That is to say, he is as loving as he is fearful. He has a way of coping with things in the way that they don't bother if, well, not for long anyway. This guy is all about the finer things in life! Eating! Sleeping! Cats! Ummm... ladies? That's a thing too.
Italy is often described as an easygoing nation that loves pasta, cheese, music and girls. And there's no denying that these are traits that are front and center, even just from his initial greeting it's easy to see just how loving he is. There's never hesitation to hug and kiss when meeting with someone, and maybe delving into a little fashion talk. There's also the intentional and not so intentional flirting, unintentional because he often says he's simply being friendly and complimenting. He's also prone to letting his feelings being known by singing a silly song or two he wrote himself.
But don't let his silly ways fool you, he's been known to display a great amount of strength when you least expect it. It's more than likely his best defense mechanism and why he hasn't been totally overthrown. Sadly, is a giant coward, and because of this doesn't really fight or display his strength on a regular basis. In fact, he'd rather surrender as soon as possible to avoid getting into a knock down drag out. At least he's not as much of a coward as Romano though. Totally not. It’s also important to note that Italy can be very co-dependent and has no shame when it comes down to it. He'll cling onto anyone that will keep him and just laugh it off like nothing.
And don't think that just because he's dependent means that he'll eat just anything either! This is a fickle beast! Food must be good; this is an absolute must. He's known for getting his cook on anywhere and everywhere. So it's okay if no one else could cook, so long as he's allowed to do it himself. Food is always a great importance and something brought up in canon time and time again. Both from flashbacks of a dark time when enjoying delicious food was considered a sin, and also when going over war rations. Though in this modern age the biggest problem he has is that the plague of fast food as fallen over his home, but he still insists on trying to cook himself. Or just keeping the places he knows is safe in mind.
All this aside, there's a little more than the silly carefree Italy that we see. The greatest fear he has is anyone, including himself, becoming like Rome. He loves his grandfather, but took away the image of the Roman Empire having grown so big only to fall so quickly. So who knows, maybe when he latches onto someone his uselessness in battle is really a ploy to keep them from getting too big. Another part of it is that he's really not too keen on politics either, because as we've seen with his past experiences with the church and previous leaders he's not really in agreement with everything that's done. In all his time he's seen how fighting could change relationships, but he still manages to act like nothing happened whenever he comes face to face with anyone after the fact (i.e.: England, Austria).
We also get to see that Italy is very loyal to the people he grows close to. Even if he tends to complain because of little things, he's quick to forgive and forget. For the most part, we notice this with his affectionate reunions with Austria as well as with France. He likes to continue being friends and hopeful that everyone will get along. Because. This is just easiest for Italy in the long run and that's what it comes down to. He always keeps the best memories with anyone and everyone in mind and is always recounting on their good traits rather than focusing on the bad ones. Though sometimes, it's difficult to do that *cough*Belarus*cough*Russia*cough*. But he'd never be rude (at least intentionally) in any case.
History: Nation wiki Hetalia wiki
A lot of Italy's early years are very vague as far as time goes, though there has been a lot covered. Like when he was little he never really met his older brother and stayed peacefully with France and Holy Roman Empire before Ancient Rome decided to take care of him for an undetermined amount of time.
When with Ancient Rome he was encouraged to cultivate his art and was said to take up a lot after the older nation in the way of business negotiations and cleaning. After his time with Ancient Rome was done Italy came back to the other older nations fighting over his and his brother's territories and even noted that they weren't as friendly towards him as they used to be.
After that it seemed he bounced back and forth between France and Spain a lot (with Holy Rome trying to drag him away in-between) before Austria won the war against France to gain both of the Italian territories as his own. Though, ultimately, he only kept North Italy and sent South Italy to Spain. Now living with Austria he was officially Holy Roman territory, but mostly stayed around the house as a sort of maid.
There are a lot of little looks into other things Italy had accomplished in his youth that doesn't exactly show where it fits in the timeline, such as fighting off Ottoman Empire all on his own.
But I digress. A lot of his time with Holy Roman Empire seemed to be his more formative years. Mostly because he was so far removed from everything else and focused more on his relationship with everyone in the house (Austria, Hungary, Holy Roman Empire) as well as his love for art. And even after Holy Roman Empire departed from the house he stayed with Austria, both out of obligation and also with the hope that Holy Roman Empire would come back some day. Though, in the end he didn't. Italy mentioned once seeing Holy Roman Empire as he grew a little, but that seemed to be in-between all his dealings in his own territory (where Holy Roman Empire was also checking up on him as well).
Eventually though, after he did mature enough he left Austria's house (after presumably a few failed attempts). After which there isn't too much covered until he's found hiding in a box during WWI. It all goes downhill from there; we'll leave it at that.

Whereas a lot of (most all of) Italy's personality is still intact, there was a development of not just his relationship with Germany, but also with a few of the other Nations that were in Holly Heights as well. Because in canon he normally doesn't have too much interaction with some of the nations outside of European and Mediterranean region it was interesting and let him feel a little more included in what's going on outside of his usual space. There were of course friendships and interactions with many others outside of his canon circle that helped him develop more on his feelings and kind of getting more of a sense of what is and isn't acceptable (and why of course).
Sample:
These are samples used previous times Italy was apped into Holly Heights, if it would be preferable to write a new sample please let me know.
1930s canon point
First Person:
[ The video feed flickers and there's a floor ]
This looks like it's useful, but I don't know... Germany? Germany!
[ Oh hey, the camera starts moving up over a very naked body very quickly ]
It's on! Is it a little television? Japan would know about this... I wonder if he's home. I should call him. Where's the phone? [ That sleepy little look into the camera ] Be... This reminds me of something...
[ And the phone is tossed onto the couch ] This place is so nice... This isn't Germany's house anymore. Maybe I'm in another country [ that indignant little look ] I hope England and America didn't get me again, that food is awful.
Third Person:
It was time for a siesta when Italy had gone down for his sleep. And now, now he finds himself getting up and--grass. He wasn't outside, was he? That groggy look around and just a shrug. It's always possible that he totally did just end up curling up outside and forgot about it.
With a stretch and a yawn, only one thing came to mind "I'm hungry" and it was cold. It was cold out, Italy. But that wasn't bothering him too much at the moment, being in the buff and just standing to notice something else.
"Keys! And... a... thing!" he didn't quite know what to make of the phone. But the keys were familiar. Taking them up, he starts strolling up to the house he was sitting in front of "Hi~!" hey look, using those keys to open the door.
"Germany, where are we?" He just looked around as he began to walk in. It's okay, right? Because he was totally asleep in front of this place and had the keys too!
2014 canon point
First Person:
Hi! [ look at that enthusiastic waving right there ]
I'm so happy to be back! Though I think school is getting ready to let out for the summer... so I have to look for a different job, right? But summer is such a fun season, especially when the beach comes back!
Does anyone have any plans to go to the beach? Maybe we could have a party! A nice beach party with lots of food, and playing in the water... napping on the sand. It sounds so great. There's also games to play, right?
[ he sits back, looking so proud ] That's a very good idea, that way we can all get to know each other. [ munching on piece of bread something suddenly hits him as he shoots up ]
I might have new kids! [ gone. he's just gone. goodbye. ]
Third Person:
First thing Italy does when he comes back? He's got that card loaded with money and he's window shopping--there's something he forgot, wasn't there?
"I don't know how old they would be... or if they'd be boys or girls..." this is troubling, as he's looking at cute sundresses on display. Troubling, at least that's what it looked like for a moment before being distracted by something amazing.
"Smells so good!" And just like that he's following the sweet scent wafting through the air, it's like he's being dragged around by the nose to be honest. Though concerns he had a moment ago are still there, just lingering as his stomach leads the leading thought.
"Aha~ of course!" he was so pleased when he stopped before the quaint cafe, hands at his hips and laughing as if he just conquered--like he really knows this feeling. Let's be frank here.
"That's right, everyone loves cakes, breads, doughnuts... this is the perfect idea!"
