Yeah, but they were the 214s, the Greek trouble boats. The 212s are a little better, because the 214s are geared more towards exporting.

When they entered the war in June 1940, the Italian navy had 115 submarines, of which 84 were operational. However, a shocking 10 were lost in the first twenty days of action, due partly to flaws in quality, or poor training, and partly due to reckless bravado. After that experience the Italians never had more than 25 to 30 boats operational at any one time. With a few bright exceptions they were poorly directed and accomplished little.
