About Italian folktales or collections of Italian folktales?
I can't think of any other comprehensive collections of Italian folktales. Part of why Calvino published this collection was that there wasn't a good one.
But the two main Italian fairy tale that people talk/write about are Giambattista Basile and Giovan Francesco Straparola, so you can look for collections by or books about them.
