I don't think that will work.

      How about a bridge translating HECnet's area 1 to an
  area unused in Italian net and translating Italian area 1
  to an unused area in HECnet?

That's exactly what an ATG (Address Translation Gateway) does. Although I
haven't used it over TCP/IP (Internet in this case). Maybe it would work
if it
is configured in either end of a GRE tunnel. Could be worth testing.

I have started a bit of work to create a user mode DECnet router and I am
sure that this functionality could be added at some point. I will certainly
consider it as I progress. But progress is not going to be quick.
