Here's a much closer view of the tornado. Looks quite strong here.

Here's from the description:

A strong tornado hit the Italian region of Emilia Romagna on Friday at around 1400 GMT according to Italian media, Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported that 11 people were injured and several houses were damaged.The governor of Emilia Romagna, Vasco Errani, asked the central government to declare a state of emergency.

Aha, so Italy is where the storms are this May! Were these storms supercells? CNN had a brief piece too:

Were these storms supercells?

In several of the videos you can see classic supercell structure: a pronounced RFD clear slot and wall cloud. It certainly was a supercell, and right on par with anything you'd see come out of Kansas.

Yes, this was quite a beast! It even made the news in the UK - usually the only international tornadoes we hear about are those in the USA.
