Italian citizens are eligible to travel visa-free under the Visa Waiver Program. To use the VWP, your friend must fill out and get pre-approval through ESTA. This costs $14 and is usually instant.

Tell your friend to go here: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

Once he gets "Travel Authorized" he is good to go, and can enter the US for two years, up to 90 days at a time.

If he gets "Travel Not Authorized" he must find the underlying reason why he's ineligible and apply for a B-2 tourist visa.
