In Italy, mandatory military service has been put on hold since 2005, so your boyfriend can travel to his home country anytime he wants without any problems, as Italian men residing abroad didn’t have to be drafted. Only if he settles in Italy and is younger than 35 he’ll have to check with the local draft board. But even in this case it’s very unlikely that he would be called up to serve.
However, if you two are planning to get married in Italy, he should check with the nearest Italian Embassy or Consulate (in Britain there are in London, Manchester and Edinburgh) in advance to get his paperwork done (he’ll need to bring along his birth certificate legalized and translated into Italian, plus another paper stating that he is either single or divorced, and thus able to get married).
