Luca was speaking about Pietro Liuzzo, and Italian researcher based in London and working for the EAGLE project.

We spoke a lot (just this week) about the state of the project, and I can just repeat that we have still a long way to convince all the project partners to release all the material which might be interesting for Wikimedia projects. 

Pietro is a member of Wikimedia Italia as well and wholeheartly shares our goals and vision, but he's not in charge and he's pushing diplomatically the project towards a more shared and collaborative approach. Not very easy with 8 different universities in 8 different countries... As you can imagine, every academic domain has his own approach toward sharing and open collaboration, lets say that in Latin and Greek epigraphy they are a bit closed (i recently discovered that the "papyri" domain is on the other hand very open... :-)
