Are Italians not white? I think some Europeans not being considered white is mostly an American thing (Which is technically a British thing but I'm too lazy to delve into the niches), Also I'm British (because I was born here but I don't really call myself British- I'm literally mixed race of North African and Asian). I guess you can be white-passing like me, but I think Italians are majority white.
Also, the outlook on Italy isn't very good. A lot of tourists complain about racism, me and my family were treated horribly due to racism in Italy. But again, judgement is judgement. It's just someone's little inner world opinion
