As I mentioned in my previous posting I became a birdwatcher after moving
to the USA, so I never actually birded in Italy. I'll be back there (at
least temporarily) from next September and I'll try to make up.

The main birding organization in Italy is called LIPU. The address
of their main office is:
Lega Italiana Protezione Uccelli
vicolo san Tiburzio 5
43100 PARMA
tel: +39-521-233414

For the publications I am looking at the bibliography of my (Italian-
produced) field guide to European birds: I cannot find any 'Where to
find birds in Italy" title but maybe Daan can be interested by
"Atlante degli Uccelli delle Alpi Italiane" (Atlas of the birds
of the Italian Alps) by Pierandrea Brichetti, Ramperto Ed., Brescia,
1987.
