Here is some context for landlocked nations with navies:
"The Declaration recognising the Right to a Flag of States having no Sea-coast (French: Déclaration portant reconnaissance du droit au pavillon des Etats dépourvus de littoral) is a 1921 multilateral treatywhich legally recognised that a land-locked statecould be a maritime flag state; that is, that a land-locked state could register ships and sail them on the sea under its own flag.
As of 2013, the Declaration has been ratified by over 50 states, and international law recognises the right of any state to sail ships on the sea under its own flag. Today, land-locked states which have merchant vessel fleets include Austria, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Hungary, Laos, Luxembourg, Mongolia, Moldova, Paraguay, Slovakia and Switzerland, though of these, only Ethiopia, Laos, and Mongolia have no river/sea port from which the high sea can be reached."

@PeachDragon_ First and foremost security.
The Italian peninsula and surrounding islands has a previous history of allying with the US to help secure it's maritime trade even before italy was united into a single country
The Barbary wars for example of 1801 had the Kingdom of Sicily ally itself to the US from a shared interest by both countries in putting an end to the disruption of trade on the Mediterranean Sea caused by the corsairs
And that historical tradition of security alliance is still visible even today;
The Italian government has cooperated with the United States in the formulation of defense, security, and peacekeeping policies. Under longstanding bilateral agreements flowing from NATO membership, Italy hosts important U.S. military forces at Vicenza and Livorno (army); Aviano (air force); and Sigonella, Gaeta, and Naples—home port for the U.S. Navy Sixth Fleet. The United States has about 11,500 military personnel stationed in Italy. Italy hosts the NATO Defense College in Rome.
Italy is a leading partner in counterterrorism efforts, being a founding member of both the EU, NATO, the United States and Italy cooperate in the United Nations, in various regional organizations, and bilaterally for peace, prosperity, and security.
