Idk how italy works on the matter but as a German it'd be highly unlikely not to know these. Since Italy was part of the axis it feels like people would be aware.
For the uninitiated H is the 8th letter and HH is a shorthand for the hail. 88 is the dogwhistle
Not to mention Lazio being known for having ultra groups that are borderline neo-nazi...
Also to mention that how a professional footballer is branding themselves is almost as important as how they are playing right now - so I'd guess every single footballer in one of the top clips in the top 5 leagues has a dedicated employee whose sole job it is that the decisions that player makes have a good public image depending on what the player wants.
You can't tell me that any professional footballer doesn't have advisors that are aware of stuff like that
