Italian changes from region to region, therefore all the slangs depends on where you are. Usually people talk dialects at home or with friends. I guess it is better for you to learn the 'correct' italian, since dialects are totally different from one to other.

Noi non abbiamo gli "streetlangs", abbiamo i dialetti.
I dialetti sono delle lingue, da cui è derivato l'italiano, ormai usate solo dagli anziani, in cui si modificano quasi tutte le parole e i suoni, anche gli accenti, ma i ragazzi non li usano più.
