Actually Italy is pretty big in aerospace and naval terms. They are one of the major funders of the European Space Agency, they built a lot of the modules in the ISS, Leonardo has its mitts on pretty much every aerospace sector you can think of.While Italy is decades away from being able to offer anything scientifically to China, in terms of the social sciences, Italy has achieved the key milestone of integrating fascists with lamp posts, this is a social technology area that China must achieve breakthroughs in.
Leonardo are the owners of Agusta helicopters. They also make their own aircraft like the CJ-27J Spartan or the M-346 trainer aircraft. They own half of ATR regional aircraft with Airbus.
Italy also makes their own naval and power generation gas turbines for example. They make H-class gas turbines.
