Considering consumer laws are pretty good in Europe and jurisprudence tends to set example in the euro-space, it may cause other countries to do the exact same thing.
The company may appeal. It may even win. But the bad publicity hurts. And if they lose, it gets even worse, as it will have to pay what it is being demanded.
And they’re appealing. And what’s the court gonna do, fine them less than they would have to pay out?
Start an example?

Or not pay and get fines on top of that.
I’m not an Italian lawyer, but I’m pretty sure appeals can be rejected. And hopefully this one will be.
Hope for the best, expect the worst.
Fines can also be increased on appeal.
Appealing doesn’t get them out of paying.
