Those are two male Leopard Lacewing (Cethosia cyane)

The female is black and a greenish white

First one appears to be a Small White (Pieris rapae) they are common throughout Europe.

I have only one book of butterflies from around the world and it is by no means complete, it doesn't have pictures of either of the last two.
That last one might be a moth instead.

Have you been doing any google searches for Butterflies in Italy and China? You might do one for Moths of Italy too just in case.
