I don't know the details of the zones for Italy, but I have a comment

Based on website, http://rmmcnt7.cr.usgs.gov/cscodes.htm=20

Italy zones are divided thus:
"[Italy]
 IT-W     =3D Italy, West Fuse, West of 12 degrees E
 IT-E     =3D Italy, East Fuse, East of 12 degrees E "

Thus, you have to know which part of Italy you're working.  Unless the =
False Easting at the central meridians differ enough, as Todd Jamison =
said, x-y pairs would not be unique so some prior knowledge of =
geographic location is necessary.

  Subject: [OSRS] A question about Italy Map Projection.


  I am working to convert a set of E&N coordinates in Italy back into =
latitude and longitude. I know there are tow zones (east zone and west =
zone) in Italy. The projection method is: Transverse Mercator or Gauss =
Boaga. I also know the Roma 1840 Datum for the 2 zones.=20

  My Question is: If I am given a pair of (E,N) coordinate, how can I =
tell it is in the east zone or it is in the west zone?=20

  I would greatly appreciate if any body can help me with this.
