Try:
	$TTL	86400
	^

The server has ITSELF been declared as a slave [secondary] for domain
dns2.nic.it, which is in itself a curious thing, since that "domain" is
a host.  That host (whose IP address is 193.205.245.8) has itself been
queried for that domain/zone.  It does not serve that zone.

In other words, dns2.nic.it is a HOST at IP 193.205.245.8, but this
server has tried to do this:
	zone "dns2.nic.it" IN {
		type slave;
		master { 193.205.245.8; };
	};
and it is not clear to me why.
