Yes, you can register "realize.it" as a domain name under the ccTLD "it",
provided that name of available at the time you ask for it, of course.

More over, when registering the domain name unde ccTLD "it" you're asked
to self-certify that "you believe to have the right to use that name and
you are not aware of any damage to third party that your use of the name
could do". As that's exactly your corporation name, you are very likely
fulfiling this statement.

You can have the information needed at

   http://www.nic.it/RA   (Registration fares and details)

both sites have an english version available from their home page.
