We've had a lot of experience of spurious reports of lawsuits originating

I want to be clear: this message is offensive to Wikimedia Italia.

To restate, there is a tendency in Italy for a media sensation to be made of purportedly legal matters when no legal actual legal processes have been initiated, and no legal documents drafted. As you can see, the statement has nothing to do with Wikimedia Italia.
