I don't think the problem is the oil grade, 15/40 was the standard at the time of the Uno and other FIRE motors, it then became 10/40 semi-synthetic and then 5/40 fully synthetic. 15/40 will be a lower technology mineral oil so will deteriorate quicker but still give the correct protection in a hot climate (Italy gets hot also!).

You need to check the cooling system... air locks, water pump, thermostat, heater matrix. Also on some engines if you fit the head gasket the wrong way you can block some passages for oil and water.
