Esmira and Nathalie, The way she was knitting amazed me so much! I am not sure if it is typical Italian technique, but I've never seen anyone else knit that way. I will try to explain in more detail . Basically, she would put one needle under her arm and create the stiches by twisting/turning the yarn with fingers. She would use the second needle very little, just to help with formation of the loops/stiches. And of course the whole process was incredibly quick .

I think this technique is called tenerif. I'd like to learn how to do it, and even have some books about. Patterns are very nice and it's very fast to knit this way, just as you mentioned
