I used highlight Comment cterm=italic gui=italic （from here）to make the comment italicized, but this changed the color of the theme

Please see :help dracula; I believe you need to make sure you have italics enabled. If that fails, you should customize the groups via autocommands as in the help.

Taking a quick peek at the colors file, it seems we don't default to italicized comments. We do link Comment to DraculaComment, so you'll want to modify the latter to make it italic.

Thank you!

I enabled the italics now, what autocommands do i need to add ? how can I modify the latter to make it italic ?

Like the example:

augroup dracula_customization | autocmd!
  autocmd ColorScheme dracula highlight DraculaComment cterm=italic gui=italic
augroup end

Thank you. Adding the following 2 lines to .vimrc solved my problem

"italic for comments
highlight DraculaComment cterm=italic gui=italic
