You might try the UK or see if a copy released in Italy has English titles. It would be in PAL format but I assume most folks have multi-system players these days. Keep in mind when GATT came into effect many titles which had been out on VHS could not make it to DVD as they were no longer legal. I don't know if that is the case here but there was a lot of stuff out on VHS that was not coming from the rights holder and GATT changed that.
