No. I don't think so. Creating a WIFI hotspot via a modem/wifi = Mifi device is not considered as tethering in its strict sense. Vodafone actually advertises its data SIM cards to be used in a Mifi and sells bundles. Tethering is when you use your smartphone (not a modem) to create this WIFI hotspot, see here: Tethering.

Generally, Italian providers don't like tethering: see here. For the iPhone, they don't release the required profile, on Android you never know. Vodafone Italia uses only its APN webomintel.it for tethering and charges extra for it. The regular smartphone APN mobile.vodafone.it may not work on a smartphone for tethering.
