Italy does not observe Thanksgiving. They would be just as likely to celebrate the Harvest Festival (European Thanksgiving, basically), which thanks God for a good harvest season. It is celebrated at the end of September.

Considering the fact Christianity is strongly represented in Italy I dare say that Italians do celebrate Christmas.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday essentially, but americanized sihks could celebrate Thanksgiving if they deem it fitting and acceptable.

Where do Mexicans celebrate Thanksgiving?
If by Thanksgiving you are referring to a holiday (or even a specific date) to commemorate some special event that Mexicans in general are thankful for, then the answer is no. Some regions or towns, where agriculture is a relevant economical activity, have festivities related to the harvest disguised as religious celebration. I'm not very versed in the catholic religion, but seems to me that every rural region has it's own "Santo Patrono" (saint) which is believed to have a special influence in the agricultural matters.
