Italian / English translation #3 (can you check this, please?) ITA: Come tutti sanno, durante il Conclave i risultati delle votazioni vengono comunicati attraverso il colore del fumo che uscirà dal comignolo sul tetto della Cappella Sistina. Ma come si crea la fumata bianca e nera? La tradizione voleva che fosse segnalata la mancata elezione del nuovo Papa bruciando le schede con l’aggiunta di paglia umida per dare una sfumatura scura al fumo. Ma nel conclave del 1958 questo creò confusione, il nero non era poi così nero, perché pare che la paglia, forse troppo umida, non prese fuoco, e fu allora che il Vaticano si mise in mano alla scienza o, meglio, alla chimica. Dal 2005 si usano comode cartucce, con la scritta inconfondibile “fumo nero” e “fumo bianco”: quest'ultima usata per la prima volta per l'elezione di Benedetto XVI. Ma anche così, ci fu un po' di confusione e si decise che l'elezione venisse confermata dalle campane della Basilica di San Pietro. ENGLISH TRANSLATION: As everyone know, during the Conclave the results of voting are discloded through the color of smoke that will come out from the chimney of the roof of the Cappella Sistina. But how does it creates the white and black smokes? The tradition wanted to report the failure of the election of the new Pope by burning the cards with the addition of wet straw to give a dark gradient to smoking. But in the conclave of 1958 this created confusion, the black was not so black, because it seems that the straw, maybe perhaps too wet, didn’t cacht fire and so the Vatican began in hand with science, or it’s better say to chemistry. Since 2005 it uses comfortable cartridges with unmistakable written “black smoke” and “white smoke”: the last one used for the first time during the election of Benedetto XVI. But even so there was a bit of confusion e it was decided that the election is confirmed by the bells of the Basilica of San Pietro.

I don't speak Italian but I did my best. Hope it's helpful!

The part in pink is where I was most unsure of the translation - there was a grammatical problem in what you wrote, so I had to guess on the meaning.
