"No, the young man does not live in Italy."

Because the form ItaliAE could be genitive (talking about possession: Italian) or dative (sort of like an action with movement, hard to describe in English since my mother tongue has declensions, it's intuitive to me). Living in Italy is static and refers to a location, therefore locative (merged into ablative in Latin) is used with its propositon "in".

Hello,
"Non" must precede the word it negates. Your sentence would mean "No, the not-young man (the old man ?) lives in Italy".
