I doubt Italian released would have had a different box. However, there were many different releases. Some a600s were bundled with software or hard-disk while others were stock.
For example http://www.amigahistory.plus.com/a600bundle.html

So it's hard to tell what box goes with your machine.

One way to check originality of later Amiga boxes is to compare "EAN/BAR code" sticker on the box, which should match the sticker on underside of Amiga machine.

On big box, such as A4000, same type of sticker is found on backside of machine.

Apparently only first few and last few digits must match.
