Italy was a member of the Tripl Alliance, which formed into the main nations of the Central Powers when war broke out. It joined the war on the Allied Side.
In World War I, the Central Powers consisted of four nations roughly occupying the central portion of Europe and the northern Middle East. From north to south, the nations were Imperial Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire.
German submarines were attacking all ships near Europe, even those from neutral nations or carrying passengers from neutral nations. The US also discovered that Germany was trying to persuade Mexico to join the Central Powers and attack the US to regain land Mexico lost in wars against the US.
As Britain usually did in major wars of this type, they had their powerful navy set up a blockade of Europe. British warships would not allow countries- even neutral ones like the US- to trade with the Central Powers during the war.
In world war 1 the central powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire. Italy was part of that alliance but because it switched sides before the name changed from the triple alliance to the central powers it is generally not considered a central power.
