It would be a very rare Italian hut to have no blankets at all, can't guarantee the cleanliness of them! Even the Eccles bivouac hut 2 years ago, which was in a right state, had plenty of blankets to cover us (we were there alone).
So if you can get to it, you will almost certainly have something to sleep in, possibly even some little friends to sleep with you.
As pneame says, it is a great hut to stay in, if you CAN get there, in a fantastic mountain situation. Not sure I would be too happy trying to reverse the approach route to it if the main route was not possible though.
