I've written an Italian translation of the manifesto.
I post it here in case other Italian people can review
it before putting it online. In particular italian-specific
informations about geodata economy or free license use
examples would be nice to have.
Thank you.

Very few world citizens enjoy open access to the information that

collected and brokered by their National Mapping Agencies, an
essential framework for understanding civic information of all kinds.http://okfn.org/geo/manifesto.php is a set of statements about Open
Access to State-collected Geospatial Data.* All government-collected geodata should be open,
that is, available for free distribution
and re-use under a ShareAlike license.* Online mapping projects creating freely reusable geodata
should offer a compatible open license.* Common, standard formats for describing and exchanging data
should be adopted.* Ultimately, all state-collected information
should be freely available,
in a structured machine-readable format.An open data policy has economic benefits in terms of reduced cost and
increased innovation; it facilitates e-government and citizen engagement.Please read the manifesto and, if you agree with the statements it contains,
