It can be seen even in Italian that the Pirelli Foundation funded the
research and a patent application
was filed.
Sorry for the late reply, I haven't seen this thread until a few minutes
ago.
That Pirelli Foundation founded this is only partially correct, to tell
the truth. Although Pirelli *has* funded cold fusion experiment in the
past, as far as I know this one started as an independent project. The
Pirelli Foundation might have brought some help later on in this case.
Anyway, in short, several teachers (with of course valid degrees and
expertise in several areas relevant to this kind of experiment) from the
"Leopoldo Pirelli" industrial high school in Rome with the involvement
of some of their students, replicated a Mizuno-type electrolytic CF cell
with some modifications, of which a patent application was filed by the
name of the school, so it is essentially public and open source. More
details, video and data will supposedly come up later, but the project
organizer mentions a 400% excess heat in an email recently written to
22passi:

(please use Google translate)
The cell reportedly uses nanopowders in free form, which kind of reminds
me of Brian Ahern's patent.
Details about power levels or the materials used haven't been provided
yet (will be soon), but I personally don't expect anything more than
milliwatt-range excess heat. Still, that CF experiments have been
replicated and presented in a high school environment, sounds
incredible. It is already getting the attention of local newspapers and
it is expected, also with the potential involvement of 22passi, to
generate more media reactions, hopefully to the benefit of LENR research
and public awareness.
Stay tuned,
S.A.
