Transform coordinates with mapproject from mario monte system to WGS 84.

Hi,
I'd like to transform geographic coordinates to the Monte Mario / Italy 
Zone 1 System and vice versa via mapproject.
It's a transverse Mercator projection, based on a International 1924 
spheroid (Radius is 6378388,297), with a scale of 0.9996, a central 
meridian of 9 and a false easting of 1500000.
lon =  6.6500, and lat = 8.8000 in WGS84
should give x = 1241482.0019, y = 973563.1609 in the projected system.
I tried
echo "6.6500 8.8000" | mapproject.exe -E219/177
echo "6.6500 8.8000" | mapproject.exe -Jt9/0/0.9996 -R6.65/8.8/12/47.05 
-C1500000/0
echo "1241482.0019, 973563.1609" | mapproject.exe -Jt9/0/0.9996 
-R6.65/8.8/12/47.05

but everything goes wrong. Can somebody tell me how to do the conversion 
with GMT?

best regards

Nils
