No, in Italy all we have is Japanese anime (maybe 85%) and some American Hannah & Barbera
They have made a couple of Live-Action with Italian actors but always after Japanese anime (I doubt they left Italy coz they were pretty lame LOL). I am pretty sure Italy is a very good market for Japanese anime companies.
Yes I can say I have started seeing Japanese kana and kanji since I was around 4, but never understood what they were...of course dubbed in Italian. I have lost the count of the anime I have watched since the mid 70's (I guess I can pass the 50 series easily). Most of those all these neo Japan anime lovers don't even know they exist
Of course then most of the Italian kids (well, back then, not sure if today happens the same) develope a love for all Japan material. Before I moved to the USA I had like 5-600 manga, a closet full of Japanese anime video tapes and a buttload of original sound tracks (each one costed me at least $50, but those were the cheapest).
