I don't think Italy will have a leg to stand on if they try to kick up a fuss given how terribly they've handled this case.
If you can't convict someone in one trial you won't get a fair verdict in a second, either way the verdict will forever be in doubt. They've acquitted her and now she's beyond their reach. Instead of trying to save face with farcical retrials they should hold up their hands and admit their mistakes, try to learn from them and apologise deeply and sincerely to Meredith's family for a fatally flawed investigation.
