[Talk-it] Import of Swiss Boundaries

[Stefano de Fabris]

My personal experience is that ISTAT data are very bad.
In my region (Friuli Venezia Giulia, north eastern Italy) i noticed 
errors bigger than 100 meters.
You can find in borders imported from ISTAT data the the tag 
source="Based on ISTAT data - 2001 Italian Census".
If you got better data just edit the border.

Ciao

Stefano
