Here's why:
* Italian refers to a nationality, language, and culture. These concepts are not inherently gendered.
* Gendered language is more common in relation to people and their roles. For example, we use "waiter" and "waitress" to distinguish between the gender of a person serving food.
However, you could use these phrases depending on the context:
* Italian woman - This is a straightforward way to refer to a female person of Italian origin.
* Italian female - This is a more formal way to refer to a female person of Italian origin.
* Italian lady - This is a more informal way to refer to a female person of Italian origin.
It's important to choose the phrasing that fits the context and your intended audience.
