DBI edit

Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani

A bit like the DNB, but with more gaps, some of them inexplicable. OCR of the titles was wonky, so quite often there’s an article there, but under an un-guessable name. Not properly indexed by Google. But as far as it goes—which is a good way—excellent.
