It depends wholly on the period of history. Arabs had self-rule from the beginning of Arab civilization up through the Caliphate period. (1000s BCE to 1200 CE). Beginning in the 900s CE and extending to the early 1900s CE in some places, Arabs were ruled over by Turks (900s CE to 1900s CE). In other places, Western colonizers replaced the Turkish occupiers from as early as 1800 CE until 1950 or so. From 1950 onwards, Arabs have had self-rule again, except in Turkey, Israel, and Iran, where they are subject to the whims of the non-Arab majorities.
Italy as a united country has never controlled trade with Arabs. The city-state of Venice controlled the spice trade along with the Arabs in 1500s and 1600s, but most other forms of trade in Italy were dispersed throughout different provinces at different time periods.
