Hi Edoardo,
We will keep that in mind and let you know if we come across any Italian books. Apart from Bangla, we are prioritising very rare English books for now but, we would love to be of any assistance to our Italian friends who have been so kind to Bangla Wikisource whenever we asked for any help 7-8 years back.
Regards, Bodhisattwa

Hello Wikisourcerers,
We are excited to inform you all that the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group is starting a GLAM project with the century-old Rammohun Library and Free Reading Room https://reasonator.toolforge.org/?q=Q68023417, Kolkata from tomorrow.
A Wikimedian-in-residence has been trained and assigned to digitize the public domain collections of the library, who will be responsible for selection, digitization and uploading of the contents on Wikimedia sites. The paid position will be taken care of by a general support fund from this year from a portion dedicated to Bangla Wikisource. The scanner, which is going to be used for the digitization, has been kindly provided by CIS-A2K upon request.
The GLAM project can be found here - https://bn.wikisource.org/s/i1po
Regards, Bodhisattwa
