In a novel, italicizing foreign names can be a great way to add an element of the exotic. It makes the reader more aware of the different cultures and languages involved in the story. For instance, if your story is set in a fictional European town and there are characters with Italian names like 'Giovanni' and 'Sofia', italicizing these names will make them stand out. It also helps in cases where there might be confusion with similar - sounding English names. Moreover, it gives a nod to the fact that these names come from a different linguistic and cultural background, enhancing the overall richness of the narrative.
