It looks the same to me.

You're not supposed to overthink it. When used as a simple subject, it's just "Italia." When it follows "in," it's "in Italiā." If you want more explanations, get the Neumann "Companion." But even in that book, it seems that a further explanation of "prepositions with the ablative" is delayed until chapter 5. The point I think chapter 1 is most concerned with is showing that Latin nouns change their endings depending on the usage, and that there can be a real difference in meaning between a long and a short vowel besides one being right and one being wrong.
If by "emphasis" you mean stress, the stress does not change. The stress placement is dependent on the length of the penult, not the final syllable. You're going to have to learn the basic rules of pronunciation from an external source.
