Google translate from amazon:

The original negative was restored very elaborately in 2017 to preserve the opulent history film in unprecedented quality. In addition to the theatrical version, this edition contains extensive bonus material and as a special extra that was discarded before its publication in 1955,
extended version on an additional DVD.
In 1954, the negative with the original version (running time: approx. 109 min.) Was cut to a running time of approx. 100 min. The original version only exists on an old cinema copy (35 mm).
The original negative with the cut version (about 100 min. Running time) was resampled in brilliant 4K resolution.
The present double-DVD edition contains both this resampled short version of the film, as well as one about the scenes of the old 35-mm movie (not re-sampled) extended long version.

The double DVD contains both versions of the film classic:
DVD 1: Main movie - resampled from the negative of the short version (running time approx. 100 min.)
DVD 2: Main movie - resampled by the negative of the short version, extended by the cut out scenes (running time approx. 109 min.)

I take it "resampled" means "restored".
So Disc 1 will have the restored film from a 4K scan of the negative.
Disc 2 will have the restored film + inserted scenes from a 35mm print.

"Colosseo brings this title finally out on Blu-ray with English, German and Italian soundtracks and German and English subtitles. Both, Al!ve and Colosseo do not understand why Amazon does not state the complete technical details. It is a great damage for us because no one knows which languages they will get. Anyway, have a great time watching the film, once you get it."
