Occupied or are currently occupying...?
"Occupied" may sounds strange, since LOT MORE than three states occupied Italian peninsula, along the centuries; to the list of the above user you have to add Austro-Hungaric empire, just to mention 19th an 20th Century.
"Occupying" meaning "currently located in Italian peninsula" make more sense, since in Italian peninsula there currently are three different sovereign Countries: Italy, San Marino (the more ancient Republic of the World) and Vatican City.

"Depends on how far back you want to go, and what you consider a country. I'll assume you want to leave out "internal" occupations, as when Venice, Milan, or the Catholic Church claimed various areas and sent their armies to secure their claim. It gets a little tangled, because often these forces were working in conjunction with foreigners. And I'll assume you don't want to go back as far as the Phoenicians or Greeks. So, in more recent times, occupiers would include Spain, France, Great Britain, the Holy Roman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Goths. Reasons varied, but included desire for productive farmland, protecting sea routes and trade, need for local naval bases in the various wars, pressure from more distant peoples, greed for profitable trade, and protection of ancestral claims. The history is far too complex to summarize here."

It sounds to me as if the question refers to the 19th century, before the risorgimento (unification of Italy). At that time, the Italian peninsula proper was divided among the Duchy of Tuscany, the Papal States, and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. (Two Sicilies, as you might guess, also included the island of Sicily.)

If you mean occupied as in history, Austria is a biggee, not Germany (austro-Hungarian Empire). Al Freddo sauce (pasta) comes from the Austrian influence. Also France (in the north) and Greece in Sicily, in antiquity.
