This seems relevant:

  <https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/17680/italics-in-emacs-on-a-text-terminal-rxvt-unicode>

In short: for a sufficiently recent Emacs, it Just Works :)
(I tested it on "my" Emacs, which is GNU Emacs 26.0.50 (build 1,
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.29) of 2017-07-25; I do
build from sources), and it actually works, on a plain Xterm.

I don't know at which version the patch got in, sorry.

Cheers
