If it's Natuzzi, it is a high grade leather. New sofas are usually priced well over two thousand dollars. I would clean it and maintain the leather. There is a resale market out there for real leather sofas in good condition, if you want a different look. After selling it, you will have some money towards a new sofa. If that isn't an option you could try a slipcover to update the look. Good luck and stay safe!
After heavily reviewing the website, they have material and leather coverings, really beautiful furniture. We have not seen a picture or a description of yours, that would be helpful.
So going off that I would not attempt to do anything to the leather except dye and condition it, make sure it is very, very clean before doing anything. Using an analine dye would be optimal.
If it is fabric, I would feel better about painting it, yet, it is a high quality piece. Maybe just have it professionally cleaned.

What it is made out of ?
Lots of posts here on painting a sofa:

What material is your sofa? Most upholstery can be painted with a mixture of latex, water, and fabric medium. :)
Is it leather or cloth? If cloth, paint away. Leather can sometimes be re-dyed...not anything I would DIY
Aren't Natuzzi really expensive? You might reconsider and have it reupholstered or repaired by a professional if it has some issues.
