The law eliminates misinformation. The synthetic products are still available.
Unless literally all headlines around this subject are incorrect (which wouldn't be the first time), Italy banned cultivated meat:

My Italian isn't good enough to actually judge whether this is a case of mistranslation or misinterpretation, so if you have any more nuanced quotes please provide some.
