I don´t know how these wrong infos come about, but I assume through individual contributors who give wrong dates to the IMDB staff which are then not checked carefully. For US people it is certainly also quite difficult to get the dates correct for Italian films which are very obscure and can hardly be viewed anymore.
Anyway, there are better sources if you want correct infos/dates for such old Italian films from the 50s. For example the "Archivio del Cinema Italiano":
http://www.archiviodelcinemaitaliano.it/index.php/archivio-del-cinema-italiano.html
Or the database on the "Cinematografo.it" website:
https://www.cinematografo.it/
There are also books which I can recommend and which you need to get correct infos about such films.
I would cite the "Dizionario del Cinema Italiano" books by Roberto Chiti and Roberto Poppi - which are orderd mostly by decades - or the "Platea in Piedi" coffee-table books by Maurizio Baroni - also structured by decades (1950s, 1960s etc.). The Baroni books contain a plethora of information about all Italian movies which had been produced and got a cinema release : all kinds of statistical data about each film (not only release dates, but also box-office receipts and other things), pages from original score manuscripts by all the leading Italian film composers, hundreds of film posters, record covers, lobby cards - just everything you can imagine. All these books are highly recommended. So if you really want to research exact data you need these books and not only the IMDB website!

Oh, wow and wow!!! I really needed sites like this! Will really be very useful to me, and I've already started checking the dates of some Italian films, incredible how accurate the information is!
Thank you very very much for these 2 sites, Stefan!
