The word 'いつ' (itsu) originates from Old Japanese. It is a pronominal interrogative, meaning 'when'. The particle 'なの' (nano) is a colloquial contraction of 'なのだ' (na no da), which adds an explanatory or assertive nuance to the question, making it sound more direct and informal. 'な' (na) here is a nominalizing particle or a copula, and 'の' (no) can function as a nominalizer or a question particle. Together, 'いつなの?' is an informal way to ask for the time or date of an event, implying a direct and sometimes eager inquiry.
