Although I can't say anything about the availability of the Palamiga in
Italy. I can shed some technical light.
The PAL amigas require a different agnus chip. The NTSC agnus is #8361.
The Pal agnus is #8367.  The Palamiga can run with both 1.1 and 1.2
however you only get the extra 56 lines by using 1.2.
When I was at Siggraph one Italian engineer asked me about this. He said
he had a Pal Amiga but didn't know how to get the extra resolution.
I slipped him a 1.2 beta kickstart and told him that should fix it, but
to not distribute it because it was only a beta release and there were still
some bugs.
