Is it possible then to have WLM 2015 in Italy during October?
It means that the international results are to be known later, but well, maybe it is worth it?

The only thing I can say is that FR claims September is the best month,
in Italy, for during fundraising.
They probably have their data to support this claim, and I personally believe it's true.

The fact there is a conflict with WLM and the consequence of running the banner anyway is a matter of priority (from the WMF, from the larger community).
Same as you, I wish we could discuss these things openly and with proper advance.

Correction: WMIT didn't decide to run WLM on September, they run it in
September because it runs *worldwide* in September. There's no other
time period when it can happen.
In an ideal world, FR would have made the simple check to learn if
there is something else happening in their desired time slot. Even if
WLMIT would not happen this year, the FR banner would hurt WLM,
because people from IT can participate to WLM in different other
countries.
