Generally, where you live and who you're married to doesn't have much to do
with your visa requirements. It may, however, make life easier when you make
your application.

Using the "Do I need a visa" at www.ukvisas.gov.uk

A Moroccan national living in Italy DOES need a visa.

Applications should be made to Rome

Form VAF1 (Non-settlement) can be downloaded from ukvisas.gov.uk or the
embassy site.

Note: If you are married to an EEA national (see our guidance note for EEA
citizens) and intend travelling to the UK with your spouse or intend
travelling to the UK to visit your spouse, you are entitled to apply for an
EEA Family Permit which is issued free of charge. If you intend travelling
alone, you are required to apply for a standard visit visa and will be
charged a fee.

However in this case an EEA Family Permit may be an alternative to an
ordinary visitor's visa, so it does make a difference.

Well, it has a lot to do with it if you're a non-Schengen citizen
living in a Schengen country and/or married to a Schengen citizen. But
it (probably) makes no difference in this case, since the UK is not a
Schengen country.
