Specifically, the Italianate pronunciation was mandated fairly recently, by Pope St. Pius X in Motu Proprio (1903). There was a lot of variation locally in pronunciation, and his aim was to standardize so that everyone heard the same thing wherever they went.

Do you mean the motu proprio
Tra le Sollecitudini? I just reread it and there is no mention of pronunciation at all. Nor is mention made of pronunciation in the papal letter to the Cardinal Vicar of Rome.
