Considering that the domain "wikipedia.it" is not the owned by the Wikimedia 
Foundation it is already fantastic it points to the Italian Wikipedia and with 
only that relative discrete banner on the top.

I believe that domain used to point to a totally irrelevant website in the 
past. Good commercial move from the owner of that domain.
