Italian gun laws

I was curious about that specific reference to military or 'war' ammunition. I thought I read
that France had or still does have a similar restriction. In Italy is it a blanket restriction on all military calibers past and present or only for current military calibers? And does anyone know the basis for that restriction? Is it a result of the second world war? I remember reading newspaper articles in the 1970s describing how much wartime munitions and weapons was still being uncovered and confiscated each year; it was truly remarkable how much there was that long after the war.
