I started my bothttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dexboton: P31 (instance of), P21 (gender), P19 (place of birth), and P20 (place of death)
I also wrote the code to import dates of birth and death but I'm not running it yet because there is one important question: What is the colander model you use as date of birth and death? in some places Gregorian wasn't common until 1912 so I can't add these dates before 1912 because the bot can't be sure about calender model of these dates

@Nemo, Apper: Do you think you could import that data into the wd-repo AND make use of it via an inclusion template?
The Italian Wikipedia has a track of early adoption of Wikidata as a
source. Almost everything that was added to Wikidata was immediately put into use (most recent big example, I think, the {{interprogetto}}). It wouldn't take long before {{bio}} starts using the data once it's available (probably days or weeks), it's been discussed several times and nobody appeared to dislike the idea.
If I'm not mistaken, there are (or were) already some experiments going on with {{Bio}} using data from Wikidata, possibly for the image field.
Anyway, if Amir (thanks!) is really going to upload that data, nobody is preventing us from trying to make an experiment on large scale. I'll talk with the Italian community about it.
