plain and simple, here it goes:)
1) to create a format file with italian hyphenation patterns you'll
have to run texconfig as root, select HYPHEN, select latex, search
for italian, remove the leading %, save the file.
If things are like the should be, your machine will be busy for a

2) in your latex file give italian as option in your documentstyle line
like in:
\documentstyle[12pt, italian]{book}
