The blog has been already posted in the Italian mailing list and I would say that this is an excellent result.
The justice in Italy is really slow in general, but in this case the timeline has been short and the result of the court of justice really good for the future.
The definition that the prosecutor is able to change the definition in Wikipedia and for this reason there is no sense to accuse Wikipedia or WMF, it's a good way to give an indication for the future.
Thank you
