You can read the latest on the not-quite-official temple website. It seems to be much more up-to-date than the official one.
My favorite part:
"On May 13, 2010, the Italian Cabinet, or Council of Ministers, approved an intesa with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, granting the Church Italy's highest status given to religions. This action elevates the legal recognition of the Church from charitable foundation to official religion. Just a few more formalities remain before the intesa becomes law."
"The intesa—an Italian term referring to an 'understanding' with the government—would carry certain privileges including facilitating the authorization of bishops to perform civilly recognized marriages..."
Such amazing news for the church members in Italy!!
