The recent nonsense at Libro d'Oro and Annuario della Nobiltà Italiana appears to have moved to Dukedom of San Donato now. There are two sets of Italian socks hurling accusations, outings and insults at each other. Risker has already cleaned up a bit in that area. I have included both sets here, so unless we are dealing with a role player, I would expect a match with precisely two of the first four. The IP is of course stale, but it is the IP that created the article's talk page, which lay dormant for 2 years – almost precisely as long as the Marimbambito account. Also note that the Marimbambito account was blocked on the Italian Wikipedia in October 2009 for an inappropriate user name. I have included the two older sock clusters Villa Tatti and Giovanni Giove as they have both been involved in the article and GiacomoReturned suspects a connection.

 * PS: The comments on the IP's talk page, from a different IP, translate as "Listen asshole, I know who you are and then Stop it! You're pathetic in your fight". So it looks as if this is a re-heated battle from two years ago. Hans Adler 14:17, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I'll review this tonight. Risker (talk) 15:02, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * So um, all of these accounts have been blocked. Is there anything left to do here? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ouch, sorry; I forgot to report back here. Yes, they're all blocked, with a few more added in for good measure. Any future checkusers in this area should note that there are actually two separate sockmasters involved here; Contebragheonte/A curious reader is one set, and the others are a different set, but they are not related either technically or by editing pattern (they have different perspectives on the core subject they both edit). One or the other of these sockmasters is likely to be related to Villa Tatti/Giovanni Giove, however, both of these accounts have been blocked for several years and obviously there is no relevant checkuser data available.

 * *yawn* the usual sweep please. T. Canens (talk) 11:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

✅, along with a bunch of other already-blocked ones. All the IP ranges I checked are a little busy, so I am wary on blocking anybody else. –MuZemike 16:52, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

From contributions, appears to be same as, blocked as a sock of this user. Already blocked, but I'd like to be sure. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:38, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

The latest user is on a mobile IP, but they're in the same country as previous socks. TN X Man 18:14, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Seems likely anyway. They're blocked, so I think we can close here. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
