Cinquecento and the Seicento MK1 with orange indicators (-2001) get blue Paraflu 11 and the latter 600 (2005-2007) get red Paraflu UP.

But what's the right coolant for the MPIs?

You can also get a universal one that works with Glycol or OAT types.
 
Doesn't matter tbh, as long as you fully flush out whatever is in there now you can use either red or blue.

I'd rather use G11/blue where it was used prior, because the red stuff flushes off the corrosion inhibiting coating, which on parts rusting from the outside in (aka radiator) might be enough to cause leakage.

After a radiator change or changing red for blue on the other hand, you're right.
