Dual Citizenship is always to be recommended. And Italy is especially good because it counts for the entire EU as well.
As for Italian laws, they're essentially the same as in any other Western country. Roman Law, a bit of Napoleon and a few later statutes. Nothing that goes against the general EU consensus.

Sure. Go for it. US citizenship + Italian (EU) citizenship = entire world open to you.
jure sanguinis
Law of blood? Cool.

Well, if you never leave the country, it's just a waste of money.:p

Your term is better. I suggest anyone that is capable of accepting dual nationality should have it. The wife and I did it for our daughter. was fairly simple. Born in the US but also has citizenship of Morocco. Did it for the simple fact of getting benefits from both nations.

US citizenship = just as much of the world as EU citizenship. Nothing against it. I live in Europe, nice place. But, my lack of EU citizenship has not kept me from going anywhere

Lack of EU citizenship does mean that it's slightly harder to live in the EU. At least, until you get permission.
With EU citizenship, there shouldn't be a problem in living in whatever Schengen country you want to. Unfortunately, many countries have yet to realize that the EU and Schengen together mean that people can actually freely move to your country and settle down there without asking for permission. They might still have to register locally, but there shouldn't be additional limits.
And even if I wanted to, I would not be able to have dual citizenship. I could be both Belgian and Danish, but Denmark doesn't allow dual citizenship.

You still have to get some sort of permit to work there. With the EU citizenship you just go there and that's it.
Depending of where you want to go to other countries you may find it easier to travel under one passport or the other, or apply for a visa under one nationality or the other. You're right to point that the US citizenship is widely accepted almost everywhere, but it never hurts to have other options.
