New Zealand is in the Southern hemisphere so when its summer in Italy its winter in New Zealand.
July for instance will be the middle of winter this is a good link to give you an idea of the average temperatures in New Zealand

The south island is colder than the North island and can even get snow in some of the main centres in winter.
Auckland and Wellington are both nice cities, but to truly experience New Zealands beauty it'd be worth going to the South island too, Queenstown is one of the most visited locations in New Zealand and is otherwise known as the adventure capital of the world

there are many many other towns, cities and sights worth a visit too

Good luck, hopefully you do get to visit New Zealand :-)

"SEASONAL CLIMATE OUTLOOK: July - September 2008

Overall mild winter, with rainfalls near normal

Warmer than average conditions which prevailed over New Zealand in June look set to continue into late winter, according to the NIWA National Climate Centre.

The centreâ€™s seasonal climate outlook for July to September says above average temperatures are likely over the North Island, with average or above average temperatures likely across all of the South Island. Despite the overall temperature expectation, cold outbreaks typical of winter will nevertheless occur from time to time.

For rainfall, near-normal falls are the most likely outcome for all districts of the country, according to NIWA climate scientists. In all regions, the NIWA outlook puts the probability of normal precipitation [rain & snow combined] at 50% (compared to a long-term average probability of 33%). River flows are likely to be near normal for alpine and western regions of the South Island, including key hydro catchments.

Recent storms have helped bring total hydro storage up to 58% of normal by 29 June, from a low of around 49% of normal earlier in the month. Total hydro inflows are likely to follow a normal pattern for the time of year. Lake inflows typically decrease on average to a minimum in September, as during winter precipitation that falls at higher elevations is in the form of snow rather than rain, and therefore unavailable for flow into the lakes and rivers, until the melt season in late spring.

The La NiÃ±a weather pattern, which influenced New Zealand earlier in the year, has now ended. There is no indication of either La NiÃ±a or El NiÃ±o developing for the rest of the year."

PS. Since it's on the South hemisphere, it is winter there now.
