Macbeth is not set in Italy. Hamlet is not set in Italy. Richard III is not set in Italy. Marlowe's Edward II is not set in Italy, nor is his Doctor Faustus. Kyd's Spanish Tragedy is, unsurprisingly, set in Spain. Not in Italy. Oedipus Rex, Electra, and so on are not set in Italy. Neither is Death of a Salesman.

Some tragedies are set in Italy, but so are a lot of Comedies, including a lot written by Shakespeare. It depends what is the source of the story. The setting has very little if anything to do with the essence of the story.
