Briefly tested their Urbino and 10 versions in VMs. They are both based off LMDE5 just with diferent theming options so the overall experiences are very similar.
Installation process was flawless for both versions. You run the installer, go through various steps in the installer and you'll get it installed with absolutely no issue.
After booting into the installed system, that's when I started to encounter some issues. I was at first attempting to update the system, but some mirrors cannot be fetched due to 403 time out. I then went ahead and tried updating packages that it fetched successfully. At the end of the process I was hit with errors regarding linux-image-5.10.22-amd64 package along with initramfs-tools. I was assuming that something was wrong with the kernel download, maybe the download was corrupted, so I tried to purge it and download it again. However, I ran into the same error when running the purge command.
Then after searching on the internet for some time, I found a post about having live-boot on installed systems. That's when I tried to run the command `sudo apt purge live-boot-initramfs-tools` and indeed both `live-boot-initramfs-tools` and `live-boot` packages are installed on the system. After purging those packages the system returns normal, with packages can be updated and installed with no issue.
To me this looks like an oversight from the Ufficio Zero team as in the description of `live-boot` package it clearly states that this package shouldn't be installed on non-live systems. It's not a huge issue if you know what to look for on the internet, but for average users that got hit with those error messages just because they want to update their systems, I would say it still looks somewhat intimidating especially since it's related to the linux kernel, based on what the error message states.
Long story short, if you want to use Urbino version or 10 version, after installing the system make sure you run `sudo apt purge live-boot-initramfs-tools` before updating your system to get rid of packages that are not supposed to be on installed systems. (I also tested the latest Tropea version and that one works fine when you update the system so no extra action is needed.)

10/10 stars
Great operating system!
Many flavors to choose from, "REMIX" of other operating system(s),
PCLinuxOS, LMDE5, Linux Mint 20.x,
Devuan Chimaera, Linux Mint 19.3,
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Not everyone want(s) to "CONVERT" to high-end machinery computers. Ufficio Zero has been running great on my Think-pad-T500 series legacy laptop, with only bare minimum of dual or two Pentium core processors. Hope Ufficio Zero continues to make more 32bit and 64bit A'like Operating system(s). Not many minimal operating system(s) in the linux, unix, unix-bsd, world left over, most, if' not all have changed completely over to only 64bit permanently.
I collect legacy computer machinery, so hope Ufficio Zero cont. ( Continues ) to make more 32bit for years to come!
I understand why! Many of the desktops in original operating systems are "TOP-HEAVY" such as ubuntu operating system(s) and fork(s) such as mint; " Another ubuntu under the hood of the car or truck, with fancy eye candy, bloat. "
Some of your os work bare minimum even on Pentium 4 processor, to dual-core, thank you for your hard work! Please continue to produce such wonderful operating system(s)

I tried this new distro coming from Italy.
I like it very much.
It gives Italian atmospheres with beautiful background images of the country.
One thing disappointed and confuses me.
This version, Urbino (64bit), is said to be based on LMDE5, but its default desktop is that of Mate.
With Original LMDE you can easily enjoy slide shows with beautiful background pictures, but I don't know
how to do it with this Mate desktop.
I prefer a simplier desktop of Cinnamon, which original LMDE of Linux Mint keeps, to that of Mate.

Tropea version is the one I prefer and thanks to the upgrade package it is possible to migrate to the new mint 20.2 base system repositories quickly without having to do anything else. Tropea version 3.1.1 already contains all the updated repositories.

[!][!] Thank you! Glad to see i386, i486, i586, i686, thirty two bit are still around. [!][!] There are not many operating systems left that support thirty two bit operating systems! Such a shame! Even with linux world! I downloaded Siena
3.1 it worked fantastically on windows xp pentium four processor desktop, breathing new fresh air into the desktop computer! Also ran after other operating systems today that run thirty two bit os! Such as Q4os in germany! And refracta os based off devuan a veriation of debian linux in united states of america! I hope more operating systems start using i386, i486, i586, i686, thirty two bit again in the future. Not easy making ol' computers run anymore these days, microsoft pulled the plug on help-support on any os below windows seven. I think this in the end will hurt bill-gates more than ever now!

finally the Bergamo 3.0.1 version has its own repository and there are some changes not only aesthetic but concerning the functioning of the system. Furthermore, the ArubaSign installation script no longer needs to be searched in a folder but can be launched from the main menu. Another novelty is the presence of GanttProject with an rpm package compiled from scratch. This is a version not suitable for new users.

So, what's the point of this distro? Why not just use Mint, PCLinuxOS, etc? Unless you need an operating system in Italian? The only difference I see are a few extra programs, and some picturesque wallpapers. It's sad that so many developers are taking existing distros and slapping on a few new graphics and photos, and passing them off as something new. What a waste. If they want to do something innovative, how about making a user friendly version of Slackware, or Gentoo from the ground up.

So far it's working like a charm! Everything is functional and smooth. The only annoyance is that Penguin's Egg icon reappears on desktop every time the system loads up, which I'm assuming is controlled by some scripts. Haven't had time to dig into that yet. Other than that it's working perfectly fine and the theme is slick and attractive.
