[texworks] MiKTeX: reconizing italian language (there is not syllabation and titles are in English)

[emilio.zendri at alice.it]

Dear All,

First of all sorry to disturb you.
My name is Emilio Zendri (Italy). I am an Italian engineer 62 year old; 
I am near to retiring and I would wish learn LaTeX to, at least, a level 
that allows me to write good documents about subjects I am concerned 
with.
I even did not know the existence of LaTeX up to some months ago. 
However, I am really interested about it, because I think it would be a 
very powerful tool for me.
So, I have downloaded MiKTeX and started to use it. Of course, I would 
wish to write also in Italian.
In my short experience up to now with the program, I have met a problem 
that so far I have not been able to solve; in the version I am using I 
am not able to set up the Italian language. This generates two problems; 
1) the syllabation is absent and, 2) the titles are in English (for 
example “Chapter 1” instead of “Capitolo 1”).

I describe here the first part of the preamble I have used.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
%Pacchetti "aggiuntivi", nell'ordine (other packages in the order)
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}


The program does not accept \usepackage[italian]{babel}
If I write “Italian” (as above), a window appears that says:
This required file could not be found: Italian.ldf
The file is a part of this package: babel-italian etc. (see the image 
accluded).

Could you suggest me the way to overcome the problem?
Tanks a lot
