This latest chapter made Itachi seem like the most intelligent ninja who ever lived and I'm confused as to whether he really knew who Tobi was. I originally thought that Itachi was tricked into believing Tobi was Madara, but Itachi also said he was a shell of his former self:

Itachi also referred to the masked man as 'Tobi' rather then Madara when he Resurrected with edo:

So sometimes Itachi referred to Obito as Madara and other times he called him Tobi. Did Itachi know that Tobi wasn't Madara?

Madara was just a name people gave him. They didn't actually believe this guy had stayed alive for anuundred years. Most people suspected it to be false like Minato, Kakashi, Sasuke

don't forget he was walking with nagato for a whole night, they may have discussed it and decided that tobi probably wasnt madara. but i think while alive he bought obito's story

Yep, I agree. He knew that he wasn't Madara, that's why he called him Tobi?

Blah, he didn't know. But he knew that sasuke may have trouble with madara or tobi later on.

No, he too was under consideration that Tobi is Madara.

That can't be true Or else Itachi would have had said to Naruto that,
(After sealing Nagato)
Itachi : One more thing Naruto.
Naruto : What?
KB : ....
Itachi : When I was in Akatsuki..... being knowing that the mask man is Madara, I suspect that....he's not.
Naruto : What?!!
KB : ?!!
Itachi : Since you'll be facing the mask man, I want you to be aware of his space time jutsus. I didn't get into combat with him that is why I do not know much of his weakness either.
Naruto : (a detective face) Hmm. We'll soon know it. (thumbs up to Itachi. Itaachi moves on to cancel Edo Tensei)

No matter how awesome Itachi is you have to face the fact that even he was tricked by Obito. Remember when Itachi Amaterasu hit Obito from Sasuke's eyes, Obito said he's lucky that Itachi didn't know everything about him or else he would have been dead and its highly likely that he meant that Itachi didnt know he wasn't Madara.

Possibly he knows, but who else survived at the Uchiha massacre appart of him and sasuke, IMO I think he knew that he wasn´t Madara but nobody else was that strong so he called him Madara

He probably knew it wasn't Madara but didn't have an idea of who it was

He just knew him by the name Madara, but he didn't know anything about him, cause if he did, like tobi said himself.. tobi would've already been dead.
