If you are a US citizen living in Canada, you pay both sets of taxes (Canada taxes based on residency, not citizenship) and the US-Canada tax treaty makes sure that you are not double-taxed - i.e. exempts one set of taxes so in effect, you only pay Cdn tax. I imagine Italy and the US have a similar treaty in place.
