The problem is that in languages such as Italian that have only
occasional (but still frequent) non-ascii characters encoding problems
get very easily unnoticed, most files look right at first look and
sometimes even when looking specifically and carefully for encoding
problems.

It's not unlikely to discover the mistakes only much later after you
already irremediably botched the text.
