Typically when you enter the schengen zone your time for the visa starts. In theory, it shouldn't matter which country you enter through. We had a visa for Spain and flew from the USA. Our flight was USA to Germany and then on to Spain. Officially Germany stamped us into the Schengen zone, so I am not sure Italy would know or care. That said, I am not sure about your type of visa, so it is best to just ask an official. You don't need to let them know you plan to visit Spain first, you can phrase it like you are traveling to get to Italy and have a stop over in Spain or something.
