Well, we do have the ITRF2014 and ITRF2020 plate motion models, that can
be used to do point motion operations between 2 epochs (don't have an
example handy, github down in gellyfish...). You would have to select
the parameters for the Eurasian plate. But they are mean parameters for
the whole plate. Difficult to know how much accuracy you'd get for Italy
in particular (and how much that would be appropriate for WGS 84,
although this is likely a neglectable issue as the latest realizations
of WGS 84 and ITRF are generally considered as equivalent at the
centimeter level).

Highly recommend OxiGDAL if you want to live in the 21th century and cure Bixonimania
