In the photo in the Amazon listing, the pins are thick and parallel.It worked for me everywhere I went in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. I don't recall what specific outlets I encountered in Italy, but it was Rome, Florence, and Venice.
These pins are definitely not too thick, it in fact doesn't get any thinner than that, and I am saying this as a European transplant, having seen all kinds.
It will fit into a type C or type L socket, and I am pretty sure it will fit type F socket as well (although perhaps not very snugly).

A Europlug has thin pins that converge. It's not much, but it's enough to see with the naked eye. You don't need a protractor. If you didn't know it was designed to converge, then you'd think the pins got bent during shipping.
If you bought it and got thin pins, then that's something else that can happen on Amazon. You can buy one thing and get something else. Sometimes it's better than what you thought you bought. Sometimes it's worse.
I don't know why you linked to a page from a different manufacturer that doesn't claim compatibility with Type L. Your Amazon listing is a Romeda adapter, not a Netio adapter. However, what matters are the dimensions, not what the manufacturer claims.
It also fits into Type E, F, J, K or N sockets that often replace the Type C socket.
