Italy uses 220 volts and the US uses 115 volts, and the plugs and sockets they use are different. 220 volts will burn out a 115 US bulb as soon as it's plugged in. Actually, it will probably explode.
In the US, household light bulbs use an 'Edison base', which screws into the socket. In Italy, as in (most/all?) of Europe, light bulbs use a bayonet mechanism where you push and turn it about a quarter turn, like some automotive bulbs.
If you bring a US lamp to Italy, you should convert the lamp socket(s) to the European type as well as the line plug.
