Who is the registry for .it domains and how much does it cost to become acredited. Can you apply if you are outside Italy or do you have to become a reseller for someone else?

You have a competitor in the UK!
http://www.livetodot.co.uk/index.php
Most European countries have strict rules as to who can register a name. Usually only citizens, corporations operating with the jurisdiction, or most broadly EU nationals.
Since livetodot is in the UK ... that should answer your question ... although at $75 USD per year ... pretty steep!

I think Italy are one of those who doesnôt have that strict rules. I have no idea on how to become a registrar though.

Anyone in the world can apply to become an agent for the Italian RA and then they can register domains under the .it domain space on behalf of any EU citizen or company. The costs are about 1200 GBP registration I think but I can't remember exactly.
The main costs for anyone considering will be learning the system it is not an easy registry to sell domains for like .com and .co.uk so you will need a proper techincal knowledge of dns it would be an advantage to speak Italian as well.
All the hard bits can be avoided by using our reseller system of course
ISP's and domain resellers are most welcome to join at http://reseller.livetodot.com/
Also our cost is 30 GBPs per year roughly 45 USD not 75 USD as suggested but reseller prices are less and drop depending on volume.
Hope this helps.

I registered an .it domain at Mercator.net and only paid $17 for the name. That's about 11.50 GBP.
If you register a domain name in .it, the .it registry charge another registration fee to modify the WHOIS information. Therefore make sure you get your contact and nameserver information correct in the first place.
I also believe that if you are a private individual, you are only allow one .it domain.
