Help : を or が?

I used to use the particule が in the sentence, since I was taught that the potential form of a verb (可能形) did not direct objects :

日本語が話せます

 

but I recently bumped into this sentence in the example section of the Tangorin website 

イタリア語を話せますか?

 

Is it actually possible to use both ? Is there a difference ?

I'm not native Japanese speaker.

 

basically, を is for object. 

 

like 日本語が話せます, using ーが and 可能形, it's mean, there are some selections, and I can (verb) the selection.

both them are okay, but ーを可能形 is more basic thing, ーが and 可能形 is more emphasis on the object of verb.
