Personal recommendation
Try to learn at least a bit of italian, it really helps to fit better inside the university (just few italian students speak fluent english) and in the social life of the town.

Was the first time I took courses in other lenguage than spanish, the everyday communication with friends, roomates, teachers and students was a factor that pushes you to learn and improve the lenguage.
You must use all the knowledge you have adquired in that lenguage in order to fit inside the academic life.
