Here's a professional's speech about finding records in Italy.
"Italian Civil Records began in 1865 with beginning of the Kingdom of
Italy. There are no central archives or even provincial. You have to
go the Comune or local town for records of Birth, marriage and death.
The records are kept there but a copy is sent to the province. The
Province keeps its records for military purposes. If you need those
records you have to go there or write. In writing to Italy , there is
no general rule as to the response you can expect. It differs from
town to town. In general, the town should allow you to have
certificates of an event. The first general census was taken in 1911
If you request records from the Anagrafe Office any emigration after
1911 will be included on their records.
The Vital Records Office, Ufficio di Stato Civile, will often do a
little research to find your record and give it to you. In big cities
you must be able to give them the exact date of the record you want.
This is because the older records in a big city may be kept across
town and scattered making them difficult to get.
When trying to get records from Italy, focus on who you can make it
easy for them to respond to your request. First, don't ask for 400
items. Ask for one to three certificates at a time. Respond with a
thank you and then you can come back later with another request for
more records." (From Italian Geneaological Group.)
Good Information on how to begin your search, and what records to look

"When you know the name of your home town of origin then you will be
able to search for further genealogy information. (I will refer to
Italy.)
Three ways:
a.) You can write to the local Italian officials for vital records
(Ufficio Stato Civile). If you do not have success with the local
level you can proceed to the state level (Stato Archivio). This way
can take from one month to four months time, per letter.
b.) You can hire an experienced genealogist to research your family
surname. Monetary fees are involved when you pursue this activity.
c.) You can do the research for yourself at the LDS (Mormon)
Genealogical Library, if they have records of your home town.
Thanks to Napoleon Boneparte who decreed his officials must record
(what we currently call) "vital records", Italy began to keep civil
records in 1809."
