A major character in the anime/manga/web comic series Hetalia written by Hidekaz Himaruya. He represents N. Italy and Is a member of the Axis Powers. His human name is Feliciano Vargas.

Italy has auburn hair and amber eyes. One of his most noticeable traits is the curl on the side of his head that acts like his erogenous zone if it is touched. He wears a WW2 uniform or he is naked while taking a siesta. When he was small and under mean old mister Austria's control he wore a maids dress that made everyone one think he was a girl. Some people who are not familiar with the anime think he is a girl.
Italy loves PASTA~!, gelato, pizza and wine and Germany!

He likes to flirt with Pretty girls or Germany.
His hobbies include painting, eating pasta, cooking, taking siestas, playing with cats and flirting with pretty girls he sees or Germany.
Italy is REALLY WEAK! But he is cute so its okay. Somehow he single handedly took down Turkey much to Germanys surprise.

Basically Italy is the Cutesy Stereotype of Italy in an anime called Hetalia with a curl

Not to be confused with South Italy or Romano
