    Will you be in Spain for more than 90 days? If you have plans to visit other Schengen countries, will all of your days in the Schengen area, not counting days in Italy, conform to the 90/180 rule?

To stay for more than 90 days in Spain (+ all other Schengen countries excluding Italy) you need a study visa from Spain.

It is not clear what you have been granted the Italian visa for, but it is advised against using it for a completely different purpose than what you stated in your application. Studying in Barcelona instead of Italy would be such a case and it should be voided.
