Not at all. Limited fair use is available for all projects. If the Italian projects choose not to have fair use that is entirely their choice. Nobody in any en preject is telling you that you can or can't have fair use.
Again: fair use is *illegal* in a lot of different countries, Italy included. It's not "our choice", it's just wa can't.
It would not be illegal for a person living in a country that allows fair use to upload such material to the Italian language Wikipedia. Families of Italian emigrants (of which there are many in North America) who retain their love of the language would be completely within their legal rights to do so. If they are not now allowed to do so it is because of your rules, and not because of Italian law.
