Italian wage and tax data?

May 1, 2008 7:18 AM

Where can I get the Italian salary data that was released for less than a day?

A day or so ago, the Italian government published every Italian's declared earnings and tax contributions on the internet. However, the Italian treasury suspended the website after a formal complaint from the country's privacy watchdog. The information, however, was up for almost a day.

If this were a Britney crotch shot, Google would return ten thousand links by the end of the day. Italian salary data is less sexy, and much harder to find.

Any pointers or links would be very helpful ....

Maybe keep a watch on WikiLeaks.

romakimmy's suggestion of eMule is a good one -- so far I've managed to download the files for Rome and Milan, and am about to finish one that alleges to have the info for Sicily. I haven't been able to find the files for all cities/regions yet, but I've gotten a good chunk of the data. If you have trouble finding or downloading them, shoot me a mefimail and I can send you the ones I've got.
Also, make sure you use emule-project.net, rather than emule.com. The latter is an unofficial site which will try to charge you for an installation code, while the former is the official site and is completely free.
