I think it depends also a lot on what the "lead" dub is. Maybe they added the italian voice over only for the Italian audience, which would be disappointing.

Just played Mafia The Old Country (I enjoyed it a lot), and I wondered: Since the whole game it set in Italy, do you prefer the English voice over with strong Italian accent or full Italian voice over instead?

It is planned, but that is all I can say right now. More will be shared in the next few months.
