The so called BIG clubs may well have lost their dominance when it come to Serie A and indeed European football, but that has allowed the so called smaller teams to develop and catch them up. Inter, Juve and AC Milan used to be the big three in Italy as far as English supporters were concerned with teams such as Torino and Napoli in the second tier but that's now changed.
Speak to many fans of football in other leagues and they will say that the Italian league is now one of the closest, and while that may be a bad thing for the once dominant clubs, it's certainly good for the others and Italian football in general.

Italian clubs lost the train of European success already years ago, but in domestic competitions Milan clubs lost top spots too mainly because Juve is back in style. I do believe things will change very soon because of the money that comes from China. 
The Chinese super league is certainly going to be a threat to most of the big leagues in Europe, and I would say that the Italian league may be the one most affected. In league in Germany, Spain, England and to some extent France, clubs and the actual governing body have the money available to be able to keep hold of the best players but in Italy I'm not too sure.
There are a lot of big name players still playing in Serie A, and I can see that if a lucrative offer comes in then they will certainly think about it, and take the offer a lot more seriously than a big name player playing i one of the other leagues would.

At the moment China is a very wealthy country, and that money that's available as now filtered down to sport and football. The Chinese government are also wanting to see a football league that can compete with the very best in the world so I would have thought that money has been put aside to influence and reflect that. The gravy train won't run forever though, and already the clubs are starting to say that they want more Chinese players in the clubs.
More and more players are getting their heads turned by the lucrative contracts that are on offer, and they know that they won't be on the table forever, and even if a player IS coming towards the end of their career, the chance to earn triple their wages for a season is going to prove tempting to most.
It seems the times are changing. AC Milan is on a buying spree like there's no tomorrow. Give it a few years and I think Italy will have at least 2 more teams besides Juventus at top level.
