I believe Laurencini and Gesualdo once exchanged an archlute. There's also the Dowland chromatic fantasias, Forlorn Hope and Farewell. He's not Italian, of course, but he was obviously influenced by those with a similar compositional style: Marenzio, etc. Kapsberger lute toccata No. 3 might be a good one. Michelangelo Galilei has some touches of chromaticism. I wonder if Gesualdo's instrumental gagliarda could be transcribed for lute.

But I think he did write some unusual chromatic fantasies. So - similar affect, maybe.
