You only can travel to Italy or transit through other Schengen countries for up to 5 days in order to reach your final destination which is Italy based on your visa. You can't travel to other Schengen countries if your citizenship requires to have a visa for Europe, as a student you have gotten a national type D visa valid for "Italia" and you need to get your residence permit [Carta/Permesso di soggiorno] to travel to the other Schengen countries. http://www.bfm.admin.ch/etc/medialib/data/migration/rechtsgrundlagen/weisungen_und_kreisschreiben/Weisungen_Visa.Par.0028.File.tmp/anh1-liste3a_visafrei-e.pdf [check page 40] .. http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/visa/schengen/italy.htm .. You only can travel to other Schengen countries legally if you hold a passport that does not require a visa for the Schengen zone as tourist or for business, before you have gotten your residence permit. http://www.bfm.admin.ch/etc/medialib/data/migration/rechtsgrundlagen/weisungen_und_kreisschreiben/Weisungen_Visa.Par.0026.File.tmp/anh1-liste1_vorschriften-nach-staat-e.pdf ..
