Serie A in the 90s was head and shoulders above everyone else. It was probably better than rest of europe for a while, at least on star power. Almost every world class player between 1985-95 has played there, few exceptions.
You are right. Those glory days of Serie A are over. It no longer as dominant as it used to be. At the moment,
NO league is as good as Serie A used to be in the 90s. For a few years now, EPL, La Liga and Serie A have all been more or less equals... which one is better is more a question of
taste/bias/style than anything else.
IMO, in the early 2000s La Liga had an edge. A very slight edge. Now its EPL, a very slight edge again. But thats just my opinion, and the advantage is so slight that there is no consensus....
IMO Inter, Milan, Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio and Palermo have very good teams in Serie A this season, and personally I find them more watchable than their english counterparts. Just like you do otherwise. That is more a matter of person taste and opinion than anything else.
There are 3 Italian teams in teh CL at the mo, along with 4 EPL and 3 La Liga. Can't see much of a difference yet, even there. Lets see how that unfolds.

I have no English bias, I am not one of those idiots who believe English players are the best (alot of them are overhyped by the media), that england will ever win anything and that the prem is the best league in the world.
I personally dont think the prems that great to watch outside the top 6/7, if united, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, newcastle, Spurs arent playing I dont bother watching it. I dont think any of the leagues are super strong the way Seri A used to be.
I come on the European league board and its always the same Inter and SeriA hype. I used to love watching Seri A and wish the prem was half as good, now when I watch it, I think thank god the prem games are on soon. I guess htere arent many true superstars left in Seri A. I know you will disagree and reel of names of above average players, but they all pale to the true super stars who used to play there.
English media talk rubbish, but all national media are biased towards there own, its the way it works. The average guy hasnt heard of half the foriegners, but they have heard of the English players, so they hype them up to get them intersted.
