This doesn't depend on your filter. This is categorized as organic traffic, not referral. They are long-tail keywords.

You should exclude these using the Search term exclusion support.google.com/analytics/answer/2795833?hl=en
Copy and paste these longtails. You can also exclude every keyword that contains "iloveitaly.com", not only exact match.

Another solution is to block access through ht.access

RewriteEngine on
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} otherdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]
