You have 3 options:
1) As an Italian citizen you can go to the US and stay there for up to 3 months at a time using the tourist visa waiver program. You are not allowed to work, but you are allowed to interview for a potential job.
2) If you get a job, it is now easy for a company to sponsor you for an H-1B working visa. It will last for 2 years, after which it can be renewed.
3) Other options, such as a Green Card, the EB-1 (Alien of Extraordinary Ability), and an Investor Visa (if you have more than $1 million to invest) exist, but don't apply to most people.
I'd urge you to consider such a move carefully. It is a commonly exhibited bias to think everything will be better if you move to a new country, but there is hardly a correlation. For what you will gain by moving you will lose a lot of what you have in Italy.
