Does it matter? Do you really think if you go to your wife and tell her to keep her mouth shut that she will?
Nope, she won't her response would be along the lines of " This kid is not thinking clearly. He's under her spell. She's a filthy little creature and he doesn't see that. We're his parents. We need to parent. ( Possible rant in Italian)". To which I would reply " Don't you think you're a little too wound up?" which she would respond with " Ugh !!! ( another rant in Italian possibly)" while stomping out of the room.

It's a little late to "parent" your adult child. There really isn't anything she can say that will change his mind.

What would happen if you bring up the similarities between your son and the GF his parents (you & your wife) don't like and you and your wife and your parents at the same age? Hmmm. Maybe she will realize that she could be grandmother very soon if she protests and fights the relationship too much.
Did her parents or your parents stop the two of you from dating and her from getting pregnant? How effective were their parenting skills on the two of you?

Her response would be a cliche " Things were different back then. Her parents seemed to like me, then the pregnancy came and they didn't like me as much, but once I showed them that I wasn't going to leaver her a single mom, they liked me again. My parents never liked her.
No need to feed the drama. This is a relationship between adults, not a parent-child issue at this point. Since things are better within your marriage, the smart thing to do would be to let your wife and son handle their own issues with each other.
