I’ve watched this three times and there’s NO shot of his thumb on the bow. Either we see the finger side or as the camera zooms on the thumb side the edit cuts to a different shot. As a teacher I was really interested in this because I love to have new ideas and techniques in my tool box. The “slick” production makes this video virtually useless.
No. I studied with Franco Petracchi, and this is not a good representation of the Italian bow hold. It's not a thumb/middle finger ring. It's a balance between the thumb and ALL FOUR fingers. Vito Luzzi gives a good, if lengthy, description of it.
So clear, many thanks for this video
Thanks for watching!
Bravo!!!! :)

That's kind of worthless. No demonstration of how it sounds vs. traditional bass French bow grip? What's the point of this?
It would be much more relevant and worthwhile for you to simply try it for yourself, no?
