Counter-Strike Beta 6.5
It was released as an official map along with this beta on June 8, 2000. Italy was created by Glen Cooper, otherwise known as glenC or Bastard, and textured by DigiChaos (whose true name was Jaison Green). At the time, the two were both members of a clan known as [HOTSHEEP].
The radio and chickens would later become staples of the map's unique atmosphere and gameplay.
Counter-Strike 1.1
The map was updated to better fit the upgraded graphics of Counter-Strike 1.1.
Counter-Strike 1.6
Visual upgrades and surface smoothing were implemented for gameplay purposes.

Italy is filled with narrow passageways and includes an iconic marketplace. In these areas, it features both close quarters and long range combat, with many diverse tactical opportunities. The market, being a usual site for firefights, is arguably the most "open" and spacious part of the map. Several of the buildings and houses are accessible, leaving behind the outdoor skirmishes.
It's possible that the map takes place somewhere in the north of Italy since there are mountains visible. It is suggested that it takes place in the South Tyrol province since there have been real separatist-terrorist attacks in the 20th century, the street sign "Bixio" suggests the real town of "Brixen".
