All our language codes (except Lojban) have a country code, even if the
language is spoken in only one country. So I think sc-IT is correct. But then
there are the dialects.
As to la-IT, when Latin was a living language, there was no country called
Italy - there were Latium, Etruria, Umbria, etc., and later the Roman Empire.
