If your monitor isn't calibrated properly then it may appear much darker than it actually is being rendered by the game. It's not silly in the slightest.

I remember my old CRT wasn't calibrated properly when I first played IL-2 and it was much too dark to see anything at dawn/dusk. When I did some work on getting the settings right it got better.

Most people have TN panel LCD's these days which are not the greatest at doing dark images. They tend to wash it all out but you can play with the brightness settings until you get a better overall image.

Brightness, Gamma Correction, these are the things I'd start with if you find it too dark. The in-game map itself seems to be working quite well for the latitude that the map is supposed to be set in (keeping in mind that Italy Online is a fictional representation of a wide area). Also keeping in mind that the date setting for the map will affect when it gets dark and light and adjusting that will give a different result.
