They have since announced that it will be capped at 0.1% of a bank's assets: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/09/business/italy-bank-windfall-tax-change/index.html

It should be noted that this was in response to bank stocks rapidly collapsing. It seems pretty doubtful that this was planned or they would have included it in the original announcement.
