I imagine Italy and the US have a similar treaty in place.

Interesting. It would seem to me that the U.S. government exercises jurisdiction beyond its own borders in a whole host of ways that strike me as overreaching. I don't see how it should be able to tax income earned in another country, but I'm no tax lawyer.
