After using all the conventional Genealogy tools, GENFORUM, LDS Family Search, and passenger manifests, you would need to have your 'pointers' into Italy defined very well. Then apply for Birth, Death, Marriage, certificates at the variety of sites. If you know that a family is in Italy now, call them and ask if they speak English.

Below is a stack of Italy Genealogy and Contact sites, which may be of use in your quest.
