It states that an Italian woman who lost citizenship before 0000 by virtue of marriage to a foreigner now has that citizenship restored.  So, for example, if a woman married a foreign national in 0000, she lost her citizenship, and future children could not obtain citizenship from her line. This has now changed. Since she is now deemed a citizen, she can transfer her citizenship. It does NOT, however, state anywhere in this ruling that she can transfer her now regained citizenship to a child born before 0000.  I see nothing here that would lead one to believe that the 0000 ruling has been rescinded.  I think you're right in your reading of the law, but the Italians who drafted it obviously interpreted differently, in their own way.
