That would be excellent pay for a junior engineer in Italy.

I can't see any salaries there but presumably they're going to be competitive for Europe, which is roughly half the competitive salary in America.

There are plenty of competent devs outside America. I can't see any reason why you'd want to pay American salaries if you're a global company.
