The cap is from Criterion, presumably the same transfer found on the zoomed DVD. I have no doubt a properly transferred Summertime would like fine at 1.85:1, though I wouldn't lose any sleep over 1.78:1 or 1.66:1, once they get around to upgrading it.

Sorry, all I meant was, it would be ridiculous for anyone to argue for a widescreen version of Summertime if the (English) credits were composed like they are in the image you posted. It would be open and shut 1.37:1! We're not insane, after all.

Same card, from the English language release, taken from Criterion's Hulu: http://i.imgur.com/gk3gqmS.jpg Was you really expecting it to be like the Italian card? :P

Criterion or no Criterion, a DVD from 1998 (!), using the same transfer made for a laserdisc (from 1991!!) is likely going to be zoomed and manipulated in some way. Blu-ray caps here: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdreviews8/summertime.htm Look at the bottom or right side of any of the caps.
