Do not know where to buy your fuses or capacitors in Italy. I can offer you this. If the head keeps blowing - you checked the top and bottom sides of the ribbon cables. The tend to get pinholes from spilled ink. In addition you need to check the printhead board that you could have spilled ink on. Hope one of these were overlooked and that is the issue opposed to chasing capacitors.

It's easy to find the transistors once you realize they are the things attached to the large heat sinks on the head board / main board depending on the machine model. They are black and have 3 metal prongs that connect to the board. That being said, transistors are not easy to test like fuses and replacing them can be difficult as well even if you have basic soldering skills. It's not a simple fix.
