Hey @Yassine Msalmi A  residence permit issued by any of the Schengen countries allows you to spend 90 out of 180 days in any Schengen country and also in any country in the European Union. You do also have to bring your passport along with your permit when you travel.

A residence permit is not a travel document. A passport copy is not valid either.

If you now (also) have Italian citizenship and an Italian ID card, then you can use that to travel.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.
