Welcome to the forums, antfaz!
As far as I know, the Commando is tied to Verizon so that's the only carrier in the US you can use. However, it appears it does have a GSM radio to use it outside of North America so it "should" work in Italy. I don't know which networks it can connect to (HSPA, HSPA+ or LTE on GSM).
There are quite a few other rugged phones that are better you may want to consider like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active.

The Commando 4G (C811) can connect to GSM Networks GPRS, EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+. However no LTE on GSM that is locked to Verizon's 700MHz LTE Band. I have mine running on US AT&T, I get HSPA and HSPA+ just perfect.

what's "no LTE" (locked )?; i suppose that in italy this phone has a limited use?

Do not worry about the LTE. The LTE band in the phone is for US Verizon wireless, it is 700 MHZ block C. Buy the phone on eBay. You will probably pay around 400-500 euros for it.
