The Italian general populace of the United States were not interned. Initially, unconstitutional actions were taken against the Germans, Italians and Japanese when the federal government restricted them from living near ports and other places. They were called "enemy aliens" improperly until unionist Italian workers in New York City objected. They eventually had all their restrictions lifted. I have added a related link for you to read the details of these events. Added Note: The USA would never have been able to intern the German and Italian American citizens because of the shear numbers of them. If you removed them from New York City alone you would have had to remove about half the population of NYC. There would have been no way for the federal government to house them, feed them and guard them. The US would have lost a huge amount of people to contribute to the war effort and fulfill the needs of the military. Enough famous Italians and Germans convinced Roosevelt and the Congress they could never intern that many people or determine who were actually "enemies and spies".
