What you do is not be a cheapskate and consult an accountant any investment you make has implications in the US and in Italy and your specific circumstance is relevant

What usually happens in reciprocal tax arrangements is you are taxed in one country on your income in that country and you must report your income in the country of origin and you will receive some tax relief for taxes paid elsewhere so usually two tax returns in different jurisdictions and with different income years, very complex and may result in you losing the benefit of losses
