Raise in the meaning you request translates into Italian as 'crescita', 'rialzo' or 'aumento'.
"I was raised in Queens" is in Italian "Sono cresciuta nel Queens" (and not "in Queens" or "in Pesaro" as other answerer wrote).-
If on the contrary you say " I was raised in Italy (or in Australia)" then you may use 'in' : "Sono cresciuta in Italia (o in Australia)"
"sono cresciuto" if the speaker is a man / boy.
