We never booked train tickets more than a day ahead of time in Italy. Bought them the day of travel at the station most days.
That's fine for regional trains, but you will pay more for the long distance trains doing that.
We took the privately-owned Italo trains as opposed to state-owned Trenitalia, and I booked ours through their site. I don't remember any issues doing so, but I might have forgotten. Check the Seat61 site for all of the info you need about booking trains in Italy. I don't think I've ever used third party sites booking trains in Europe, but I've used Seat61 for advice in doing so.

^^exactly that. Seat61 will have great advice on which routes and lines to book ahead, and which ones are fine/same price as a walk-up ticket. Italy can be a bit confusing, as there are multiple rail lines operating. Some trains are fast, some super slow....doing a bit of research about which lines serve your destinations is a good thing. For short trips on slow/regular TrenItalia trains, or for very frequently traveled routes (like Rome to Florence), you can indeed walk up same day and buy a ticket from a machine.
