In 1890, William Morris produced the Golden Type for the Kelmscott Press.
In 1893, Joseph W. Phinney designed Jenson Oldstyle for the Dickinson Typefoundry (American Type Founders), which was based on Morris’ Golden Type. Both these types were modeled on the mid-fifteenth-century letters of the Renaissance printer Nicolas Jenson.
In 1977, Colin Brignall redrew the ATF Jenson series for Letraset, and renamed the design Italia. Italia’s strokes appear to be even in weight. Use for short texts and in display situations.

It is highly unlikely that you'll be able to find Italia™ for free. There's a lot of websites that will say "Free Download" but these are just attempts to get you to click on a link which will either take you to an ad landing page or you risk getting viruses on your computer. In the rare occasion that you do find a free download for Italia™ remember that it's illegal to use a font if you didn't pay for it!
