Thanks. As far as I can see, the document you link to enumerates proposed changes to an existing law (the text of which is not given). The left column shows changes already approved in 2009, and the right column shows additional modifications now to be voted on.
So we read that after the third subsection of article 8 of the law from 8 February 1948, the following should be inserted (changes and additions only present in the right column are shown in capitals):
---o0o---
For radio and television broadcasts, the statements or corrections are effected pursuant to Article 32 of the consolidated AUDIOVISUAL AND RADIOPHONIC MEDIA services regulation per the Decree of 31 July 2005, No. 177. For web sites, INCLUDING NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES DISTRIBUTED BY ELECTRONIC MEANS, the statements or corrections are published within forty-eight hours of a request, with the same graphical presentation, the same methodology to provide access to the site, and the same visibility as the news to which they refer.
---o0o---
Basically, the proposal seems to be about making online media subject to the same regulations that currently apply to television, radio and print media -- i.e. that corrections or complaints must be publicised as prominently as the original statements, and within a defined (and rather short) time period.
Any corrections to my translation from native speakers welcome.

I would echo Risker's question: What exactly does the proposed new law say? Is it that disputed content will have to be *removed* if a request is received, and *replaced* with the BLP subject's statement? Or is it that BLP subjects have the right to ask for a correction to be posted on the page, *in addition* to the disputed content? I can read some Italian; a link to the proposed text of the new law, along with an indication of the relevant section or paragraph, would be much appreciated. Andreas

I think this is a prime opportunity to point out to those concerned: Wikipedia is hosted in the US :) so no need to worry!
They can block Italian Wikipedia in Italy, right? If so, it is a concern.
Perhaps someone who can understand Italian well might be able to provide a brief summary of the situation to those of us who, sadly, depend on google translate? I am unclear what the "new" law says that is leading Italian-speaking Wikipedians to consider a blackout of the Italian Wikipedia.
