For taggers, have a look at

  http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/research/ucrel/public/1610.html

which summarizes the replies to the same query a year or two ago.  I'm
sure some things have changed, but I know that the Italian treetagger
is still available.

Regarding corpora, I've been collecting a corpus of English-Italian
pairs of translated Web pages.  I'll post to the list when I have
something to make available, which I hope will be quite soon, and the
information will be available at http://umiacs.umd.edu/~resnik/strand.
