well the availability is most likely not the issue, pretty sure they’d include it if they were allowed to

Eagle Pictures own the rights to the Italian audio, so it’s unlikely they’d share their biggest seller with Arrow.
While it doesn’t affect me personally as I would never watch anything other than the English dub for these films, it really sucks as I was praying these would be a definitive release. Although I probably wouldn’t listen to the tracks, I know a lot of you amigos would and its a damn shame they won’t be available.

It would be perfect to have for all Leone westerns the Italian audio with subs translated from that. Cause it’s the original version, the way Leone wanted it. The English dub is most likely faithful, but I would like to compare, also with the German dubs.
Hmm, actually so far I never watched the Leone Spags in English, except for half of My Name Is Nobody, the Hill half.

Do we know if this will be fully uncut?
We don’t, we just have hope 
They have the luxury of getting things right by learning from what has been released before. and that fella was involved, i forget his name, the one on youtube with all the in depth version analyses

Fistful looks fantastic. Blue skies, creamy walls, bronzed skin tones, rich reds, and it’s actually got CONTRAST with decently dense blacks. Everything is so well integrated and well balanced in the HDR grade that it doesn’t look like it’s HDR, and I mean that in the nicest possible way, that nothing leaps out at you as being too conspicuously ‘modern’. Shame that they’re having to use the Ritrovata restorations with their odd stop/start grain baked in but they’ve done the bestest job they possibly could, and thank fook it doesn’t look like a Ritrovata colour grade! Reminds me of the Italian Blu-ray from Ripley’s, albeit with a touch less green and a bit more saturation. source
