Who says the U.S. government doesn't do anything worthwhile? Along with issuing your passport, the State Department also maintains a more-or-less up-to-date summary of Italy, its history, government, and society. You can read it
here. I highly, highly recommend that you do so. You'll learn a lot of really useful, interesting stuff in a short space.
You will also find a lot of handy information on our diplomatic presence in Italy and safety issues
here. Also definitely worth a read.
For that matter, you may as well benefit from Italian taxation as well as your own. RAI is the government owned Italian public broadcasting service, sort of the Italian BBC, and
it maintains a large internet presence. In particular, you should check out this site:
Italica is the
RAI website for Italian language and culture. This link takes you to the English language page. You will not only get the latest in culture news, but you can experience Italian radio and video and . . . take free Italian lessons! Dentro l'Italiano is an introductory Italian language course that combines audio and video (needs Flash Player). You'll find it on the Italica website.
