It's reported in the Italian media here
It basically says that the radar system controlling the North-West of the Italy broke down for the third time in 24 hrs. ENAV announced that it is back on line since 11:14 today and flights are once more operational from all northern airports.
Inevitable delay are occuring, compouded by heavy fog at Rome-Fiumicino.
And a comment that safety was not compromised.

This is what you get on the site of Milan Airports:
7 Ottobre 2004

Which more or less means:

We just passed ABESI northbound to KUDES as it happened. Swiss radar then had his hands full putting all the southbound planes in holdings, making them do 360īs and giving delay vectors. Man, were we happy that we just got out of Italy in time!

Italian press are now saying that the failure was caused by a simultaneous fault with 2 different UPS systems - the authorities are investigating as there is a possiblity of sabotage.
