I'm not sure there's a similar idiom in italian. We have these phrases: "essere nero di rabbia" or "essere arrabbiato nero" "essere rosso di rabbia" "avere un diavolo per capello" But in everyday life I suggest you to use these ones: "essere arrabbiato" "essere incavolato" (very informal) we have also rude phrases with bad words, but it's better to avoid those.
