I just found out that Wellesley college has made their three tier Italian Language and Culture class available online for free if you "Audit" the course rather than take it. If you audit you don't get a certificate and you can't take the tests or engage in the discussion boards but all the lessons are available as a self paced course as long as the class is going on. Again if you pay the small amount ($59? or so) you retain access to the class materials for longer and get the certificate etc. So they sort of lean on you to pay by listing the benefits, but the audit mode is completely free.

So if you were looking for Italian past Duolingo or the equivalent this is a great resource. They have skits, listening, language lessons, quizzes and cultural lectures. The term just start and I signed up for the Intermediate course. It start with reflexive verbs and seems to assume you know the passato prossimo as a reference for levels.
No affiliation just thought others who are interested in Italian might like a free Italian course.
To give credit I found this out from Mindful Fluency - Language Learning Coach on Youtube. This video has a bunch of great resources to help learn Italian A1-B2 in addition to the course she referenced above.
