So my husband and i did it backwards huh???we married online already and im traveling to visit him in italy in August we should have waited right??? We didn't know but its done now

Depends where you are in what process.

 

If you actually intend to live together in his country, not the US (not presuming he's Italian; I met Anastasia in Italy once before we were married and she's Russian), then you'll need to look up the process for that country.

 

If you haven't started any US immigration process yet, you're fine, but right now you are in a "too married for a K-1, not married enough for a CR-1" state if you weren't together in person when your online marriage happened.

 

If you have already filed an I-129F (first step in the K-1 process), it will be denied as you're already married.

If you have already filed an I-130 (first step in the CR-1/IR-1 process), it will be denied as you have not been together in person while married (regardless of anything you might have done before you were married).

 

So presuming you do want to live together in the US and  haven't been together in person since the online marriage happened, your next step is to meet in person, and then you can begin the CR-1 process. If you've already filed a petition, you won't get your money back.
