    based on your advice i surfed the web and found:<br>
    <br>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
      charset=ISO-8859-1">
    <a
href="http://www.rigacci.org/wiki/doku.php/tecnica/gps_cartografia_gis/gauss_boaga_wgs84">http://www.rigacci.org/wiki/doku.php/tecnica/gps_cartografia_gis/gauss_boaga_wgs84</a><br>
    <br>
    So i tried to use pyproj to do the computation:<br>
    <br>
    In [50]: p = Proj(proj="tmerc", lat_0="0", lon_0="9", k="0.9996",
    x_0="1500000", y_0="0", ellps="intl", units="m",
    towgs84="-104.1,-49.1,-9.9,0.971,-2.917,0.714,-11.68")<br>
    <br>
    In [51]: x,y = p(45.463681, 9.1881714)<br>
    <br>
    In [52]: print x,y<br>
    5790656.63279 1259107.51994<br>
    <br>
    But it's still wrong, i should obtain something close to X=2159820
    Y=1457635<br>
    <br>
    Any other suggestion?<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for all.<br>
