UPDATE (from Twitter):
Graham, there were some discussions, but there will not be a race in Italy in 2013 or the foreseeable future.
Matt Breeden is the current Vice President of Business Affairs at IndyCar Series. If anyone may have the real inside scoop, it's Matt (at least until IndyCar changes its mind - example: read that as the Randy Bernard tenure).
