I would add:
Giorgio Federico Ghedini: Concerto dell'albatro (inspired to/by Moby Dick);
Ernest Bloch: Poems of the sea
Charles Koechlin: Paysages et marines
Alfredo Casella: Italian battleships cruising in the Adriatic sea (from "War pages").

If a decade is admitted, why not Ellen Zaaffe Twilich "Millennium" ?

Mahler last concert as conductor took place on the 21st of february 1911.
It was an "Italian" program comprising (besides Mendelssohn Italian Symphony) works of four real Italians:
Leone Sinigaglia "Le baruffe chiozzotte" overture.
Giuseppe Martucci Piano concerto n.2 (the first was then not edited).
Ferruccio Busoni: Berceuse elegiaque (world premiere).
Marco Enrico Bossi : Intermezzi goldoniani.
On April in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv that identical program will be performed again (in Mahler death centennial year
commemoration) by the Israel Philharmponic under G.Noseda (Muti was due to conduct the concert, and on the very 21st of february, but he had to withdraw on account of an accident).
I would like to know if somebody knows if some similar event is foreseen elsewhere in the world (I don't think).
And I wonder what do you think about the worthiness of the four Italian works and composers (who, in the last 100 years have fared differently: shortly, fairly well Busoni, less well Martucci (but growing); indeeed smaller fortunes for Bossi and-mostly- Sinigaglia.

Somebody miswrote the name of the madrigal composer Sigismondo d'India (roughly contemporary of Monteverdi and Gesualdo).

I would suggest:
d'Indy Poème des rivages and Diptique meditarraneen (recordings by Prètre and Krivine).
Gian Francesco Malipiero Sinfonia del Mare (De Almeida recording)
Giorgio Federico Ghedini Marinaresca e Baccanale (I own an ancient de Sabata recording).
Gosta Nystroem Sinfonia del Mare (titled in Italian).
