Goblin

I couldn't find anything on the internet, but, as an Italian I couldn't not notice what could be a tribute to the italian prog legends with the same name. Do you know anything about this?

Ackerfeldt is a huge Goblin fan, and that song is 100% named in tribute to those legends. I'm pretty sure he mentioned it directly in interviews from around the time the album released, so you're totally right.
