Best Answer

Nicolaus Copernicus, in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, published in 1543), first showed that the earth revolves around the sun. However, he was Polish, not Italian. Galileo Galilei (born 1564 in Italy) started publicly supporting the heliocentric theory in 1610, which he backed up with observations through his telescope.
