I'm planning to drive all around Europe sometime next year, and recently had the idea to ferry over to Morocco. I want to see Morocco, Mauritania, and perhaps Algeria and Tunisia and then find a ferry from there back to Italy (if one exists). Has anybody ever done anything like this, or been to any of these countries? Any insight would be a huge help.

Unless something has changed recently, you can only cross into Algeria from Tunisia (with difficulty), border crossings with Morocco and Mauritania being closed - so your idea of crossing Algeria on the way from Morocco to Tunisia doesn't seem very feasible, see http://wikitravel.org/en/Algeria#Get_in.
There are ferries between Tunis and Palermo/Salerno/Civitavecchia (Rome), also Marseille, see http://www.directferries.co.uk/tunisia.htm
I can't even see a ferry between Tunisia and Morocco, but if you started from Tunisia you could drive into Algeria and if you could get as far as Oran, take the ferry from there to Alicante and then back into Morocco!
