Lab-grown food isn't even an economically viable threat to any form of "tradition" at the moment.
What is the use of this law?

Appealing to older demographic I suppose? Italy is considered to be one of, if not, the most culinarily refined countries in the world (they pride themselves on their food) that I suppose there's a lot of pearl clutching going on at the concept of growing food rather than the traditional way.

As an Italian, I can tell you this is pure demagoguery. It keeps the old, tradition stuck-up population in agreement with an over traditional, conservative government, touching an aspect that is at heart to many and not an issue at all. If that was the issue, they would have waged war against sushi places, kebab shops, ethical restaurant and shops. But they don’t, because that’s a tax-paying given as of today. Lab-grown meat would be another type of plate, it would not be mixed to the traditional dishes, it would have its own aisle at the supermarket and its own restaurants…it would not replace anything. But it’s new, it’s scary and that’s the perfect thing to be actively engaged to get the trust of an overly scared aging population attached to the old ways, giving the impression to be working hard without really losing anything in the process

I’ve been multiple times to Italy and haven’t seen any kebab, sushi or non typical Italian restaurant. So they most be rarer then

The last time have you been to italy was in the 70s? I think it's impossible not to see any non typical restaurant since that age. Maybe, if you paradrop to Monteculo di Sotto and get extcracted by helicopter, and even then you should be blindfolded for the whole voyage...

Meloni is a dumbass and so are her voters, she's just appealing to old and ignorant people basically.

Have to remember they are religious. Killing things is part of the tradition. How it’s killed, how it’s prepared is usually part of the name of the dish. Tradition is an obstacle, in other words.
