This is very strange for me. Luigi Ferraro, Teseo Tesei and De la Penne are considered heroes here.He's referring to Italian frogmen and their operations against Allied shipping in WW2. Axis operations are "mischief" in western culture.
They fought for an evil cause and the wrong side which is why they have a tarnished view. Same goes for the likes of Otto Skorenzy despite his achievements.Hence the initial activities of Italian frogmen were truly acts of heroism, not of mischief...

I'm of Italian descent and my father in law is a naturalized citizen hailing from Genoa. I'm just giving you the feelings that Americans and British have towards axis combatants.
