Actually, Italians weren't always first. If my memory serves well.

Season 1: don't know for sure (wasn't a fan then), but Italian was likely the first.

Season 2: for most of it French was first, but the Canterlot Wedding was in Italian first (due to changed order).

Season 3: Polish. The whole Polish season aired before the second language even started it.

Season 4: Italy started pretty early, before the English finale actually, but took a longer break after episode 6, enough to be overtaken by French at least until episode 13 (closely followed by Polish, the difference was only a couple of hours for episode 13). Then, all of the early countries took a break and the final 13 episode race went either to French of Finnish (don't know for sure which was first).

Season 5: This season is a little blurry to me, so let me check the edit history. It seems the Italy started it off again and took over the first half. Then unexpectedly Turkish takes episode 14. And then is overtaken by Ukrainian (who dubbed the final episodes of the season really fast, they pretty much went straight from the dubbing studio into TV).

Season 6: This season is interesting because quite a lot countries have shown exactly 3 episodes as a "preview". Out of the recorded versions, Italy was first again, only a week before the big Central European wave (6 languages in only a single weekend!). French is the only one I know to show episode 4. I've heard there were 3 first episodes in Arabic too, but I'm not sure they were recorded anywhere.
