General Will 595 exhaust fit 1.2 pop
Don’t know the answer to this but it begs the question why?

There will be a way to make it fit, there are plenty of 1.2 Fiat 500's that have had a full Abarth makeover including the exhaust.
I even know of a Ford Ka with an Abarth exhaust.

It's called a Kabarth
If you mean "can you just bolt it on".. the answer is probably no.
Your 1.2 is a 1.2, whereas the Abarth is a 1.4, so it will have a bigger pipe diameter.
Having said that, the silencer seems to connect to the mid-section in more or less the same place, rather than being completely different (as is sometimes the case).
The hanger points also looks to be in the same location.
If that's the case, you might be able to make it fit by using a sleeve-up connector. This is just a bit of exhaust pipe about 10-15cm long which fits over the 1.2 pipe at one end and the 1.4 pipe at the other end.
Look up someone like https://www.mijexhaust.com/ in Walsall - they can provide you the connector (and so could probably any system fabricator, like Powerflow, if you've got one local) - and find out what the minimum length of the connector they can make is.
You will have to remove the same amount of pipe from your middle pipe and/or silencer otherwise the silencer will poke out that 15cm or so and the hangers won't line up.
Because the silencer has a flange on it, when you lop off the surplus, you will have a silencer that no may longer fit "over" the middle pipe. You won't be able to avoid trimming the silencer and the middle pipe since the connector is straight and if you try to take off all the surplus length from the middle pipe or all from the silencer, you'll hit a curve. You have to have a straight section on each one for the connector to clamp to.
Anyways.. work out where the connector will go, then measure the diameter of the middle pipe and the silencer pipe at the point where the connector will clamp over them.. then that's the size you'll need... it'll be something like 48mm/60mm for example.
When your connector arrives, THEN you can see where the flared ends will fit over your pipery so then you can mark up where it has to be cut, so that the ends fit snugly into the connector piece (bear in mind the connector will overlap the pipes since it has to fit over them).
It's easier than I made it sound...
