"It" is correct in English. Countries are gender neutral in English, except in very rare circumstances, usually in context of nationalistic sayings, when the country is being referred to almost as a person. For example. Canada won the championship and is the best in the world. Long may she reign!

"It" Italy is an inanimate object. In English only a few objects get a gender identifying pronoun. Ships are generally called "her" or "she" and some people may identify a car as a she, but that's about it.

'It is in euorpe' is right choice.
He is generally used for living male beings.
