I'm a citizen of Nigeria but am living in Italy as an immigrant.

Recently I got the Italian carta d'identita (11 year residence permit).

Can I use this to travel to the US? How do I apply and what else is required?

No. Even Italians can't use a carta d'identita' to visit the US. You need a passport.

The Italian Carta d'Identita for immigrants is different from the one they issue for the Italian citizens; on the cover of the carta d'identita for the immigrants/ foreigners it's written "Non valida per l’Espatrio" which in English means 'not valid for traveling abroad' here's a sample picture

The Italian citizens can use the Carta d'Identita within the EU travels, but traveling to the US they do need a passport as well!
