This strongly implies a betrayal of prior understandings or a sudden shift in alliance dynamics not fully captured in the single message provided.  Given the context of Diplomacy, this severe attack likely violated a non-aggression pact or understanding that would normally exist between adjacent powers before such a deep strike.

The defensive orders allow Italy to observe the outcome of the turn without significant risk, but also mean Italy failed to capitalize on potential opportunities or solidify any alliances through action.
