I would send it back, and refund the seller's money minus the original shipping cost charged and the return postage.

Was it? Part of being a seller, I'd like to think, is that you are aware of your country's postal issues and inform the buyer accordingly, unless it was a complete one-off fluke.
Of course, the simplest - though morally dubious - thing is just to consider this a case of karma working out and forget about it all. But assuming you want to do the right thing (and starting this thread seems a good sign), this is what I would suggest:

I would contact the seller and work it out, the thing is that returning it may be the same process for him in reverse where it gets stuck or outright stolen in Italian customs or the seller ends up paying duty on it.
This is what you should do. Why are people making it more complicated than that? The buyer should end up whole in the end, since he did nothing wrong.
The seller's return policy in this case is completely irrelevant - they sent him the wrong item, so the buyer should have nothing out of pocket.
End it and do what? Keep the item over a shipping expense? The OP asked what the ethical thing was to do and so far it seems I'm the only one who understands this.
Wrong answer. OP received a refund. The right thing to do is contact the seller and see what they want to do about it.
Who said anything about keeping it , and I never mentioned anything about shipping costs. You need to take your personal bias as a "seller" out of it. If he explains the situation to the seller and seller continues to be rude, you are insane to think that he has some sort of obligation to keep working with him. Italy particularly is a pain to deal with , where they outright ban or seize certain items and might even exercise a duty on the seller for receipt so the seller would be out more than he is now.
