I can,t understand exactly what you ask about ?
but the difference between them is....
"Have you ever been to Italy?" ( positive question)
the Negative answer is (No , i have never been to Italy) and the positive answer is ( yes, i have been to Italy)
but
have you never been in Italy?
the positive answer is ( No, i have never been .....)
and the negative answer is (yes, i have been ....)
this is called (Negative question )
i hope i could answer your question :)
