The italians have categories for people who died in a
particular place..
Given that it is in Italian, Italian places get a lot of attention :)
In detail:
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:Amministrazioni/Comuni_italiani
in 2005 created articles for all Italian municipalities and
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:Biografie since 2006 handles
structured biographical data in {{bio}}, both thanks to bots by User:Gac.
{{bio}} ensures all sorts of links to places and almost every
municipality in Italy has had at least one famous person, so you're
probably right in linking the two. I don't know how many translations on
other wikis were bot-created; but probably not more than for the famous
French municipalities? ;)
