The marines were part of a military security team on an Italian cargo ship and fired at the fishermen, saying they mistook them for pirates.
The case has sparked a bitter row between the countries.
Latorre has been in Italy since September undergoing medical treatment. He wanted permission to stay in Italy for a further two months.
Gironne says his children are suffering from post-traumatic disorder due to his long absence.
