Thank you so much, Roland. I have blogged about this case in Italian in 
<http://noimedia.iobloggo.com/archive.php?eid=66>, quoting your message 
and Angela G's post as sources. In the hope that the info will be enough 
  to avoid a potential similar misuse. More about it if it does not work.

Best
