It's true.
The speed limit was raised to 150 kph on 3 lane autostrade. However, I think it was more to do with legitimising a situation than anything else as speed limits were generally ignored anyway. The real safety issue in Italy is, in my opinion, that the autostrade are crowded and should be 4 lanes in places, the speed differential between the two slow lanes where trucks and grannies travel and the fast lane is just too much.
The key number is 170 kph, above that penalties are much stiffer. The other sensible change they made was compulsory lights at all times on autostrade and dual carriageways.
