I imagine you are talking about the eu laws that supposedly led to nyaa closing shop. I actually had not heard anything about it until this came up and i have no idea if Italy is even affected by it, or even what is happening exactly. From what i have heard it was mostly against sources hosting some illegal streaming services kinda like the old megavideo where people uploaded tv series and pirated movies (afaik it's the most common source of piracy these days, almost no one i know uses torrents anymore). Anyway it's usually not the end users being targeted by these laws, but the hosting sites, for example some bigger torrent sites.
What's strange is that nyaa is not nearly as big and known as the likes of kat, isohunt or piratebay, so they could probably keep operating unaffected by this kind of stuff, which is usually pushed by the movies and music industry, meaning they wouldn't care much about nyaa. This makes me hope they didn't just close for good and just acted in advance and will be back when they find an alternative. Or maybe their host was one of those hit because of the streaming and they had to delete all their stuff, who knows...
Whatever the truth is i just hope they come back or some other new torrent site emerges as a result, the ones available are not nearly as good and i'd never use ddl sites other than mega and mediafire if i can choose.
