Using a geotargeted CentralNotice would be clever, but I believe it
would be trivial to get around by disabling Javascript. Currently
it.wikipedia is using JS to redirect to their message, but beyond that
all page contents are also being hidden with CSS (yes, you can bypass
that too, but it's probably beyond the skill of most readers).

Wouldn't it have been a better solution to block ALL wikimedia projects in
any language, if the user geolocates to Italy? It's my understanding that
this law does not differentiate (so, the English wikipedia faces the same
risks as Italian wikipedia so long as you are in Rome). This way, it.wp
readers worldwide (except italy) could continue to browse/edit if they
chose, but say an Albanian reading it.wp would not have the same issue.
I don't even know if that is technically possible, or if that is what
Kaldari was referring to above. Or maybe the community considered and
rejected it. Just throwing it out there.
Also, we have a Sicilian Wikipedia, don't we? Is that still up? What about
the Latin Wikipedia?

About that point it's worth noting that in Facebook several autonomous
supporting groups have appeared, the most numerous has > 215.000
followers and it's now still growing with a 1000 likes/hour rate.
