Since shareholders are the owners of a company, this is also valid as a direct translation. But it also looks like the most natural rendition into English of this concept.

wholly Italian owned


Explanation:
The expression wholly foreign owned is common enought to have its own abreviation in business literature. A slight modification would change it to wholly Italian owned.

Example sentence(s):
  • sigma-tau Group is a leading, international, pharmaceutical group with a wholly Italian-owned capital that invests in the research, development and marketing of innovative and effective treatments to improve patient well-being and quality of life.
