Three minor injuries reported; anyone with a working knowledge of Italian and Italian websites who has more info?

According to newspaper Corriere della Sera the Airbus originated from Rome-Fiumicino and had 143 pax on board; 10 of them are now reported as slightly injured. Cause given by the newspaper is a difficult landing in rain, compounded by windshear.
