When talking about age in Italian language you have 2 choices;

1. You use the verb "to have" or "avere" and say - "Io ho diciasette anni".

That is the most common way of expressing age.

2. You use the verb "to be" or "essere" and say "Io sono diciasettenne".

"Diciasettenne" means seventeen-year-old, so obviously we want to say "I am seventeen-year-old".

Is it correct to say 'Io ho 25 anni' or 'Io sono 25 anni' in Italian?

Io ho 25 anni, not Io sono 25 anni, is correct in Italian. Italian opts to conjugate the verb avere ("to have"), not essere ("to be"), when a person's age is at stake. The correct phrase -- which need not begin with the personal pronoun io ("I"), other than for emphasis, since context and the verb endings identify the subject as the first person singular -- translates literally as "I have 25 years" and will be pronounced "EE-o VEN-ti-TCHEEN-kwey AN-nee" in Italian.
