It looks faux to me as well

Thank you so much for sharing! If you give us permission to use the label image along with the info, we could add it to our label resource

Also could you please post a clear image of the label if you would give us permission to use it for the label resource

I am not certain of the age though it looks quite modern to me but I can tell you that the 1973 isn’t when it’s from. Many Italian labels read "A NORMA LEGGE N. 883 26/11/1973" (or similar) which is Italy's care and fiber content labelling law. The date is its effective date in November 1973...
