More likely, the fact that your packets went via megapath.net and level3.net
means they never transited the fastres.net/fastwebnet.it links that are the
problem.  The paths are totally divergent before your hop 13 and their hop 17
(although your hop 12 and their hop 16 are both in 194.20/16, so likely on
the same provider - probably 2 different routers at different sites but
owned by the same provider).

Similar to somebody who says "I saw something weird on I-95 North heading from
Richmond VA (south of Washington) to Washington DC" - you've replied with the
euqivalent of "There's nothing weird on I-270 coming into Washington from
Frederick MD (northwest of Washington".
