The babel documentation says that italian is doing it to get guillemets
when T1-encoding is not active/present. So you can avoid lgr completly
by first loading T1, then babel, then fontspec:

 \documentclass{article}
 \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
 \usepackage[italian]{babel}
 \usepackage{fontspec}

 \title{Italian}
 \begin{document}
 Italian "< 
 \end{document}
