What can we do to convince designers to add the few italian keycaps to the NORDEUK addons?

I don't think GMK ever made the molds for the Italian layout, or am I wrong?
In any case, looking at the very low numbers of NORDEUK kits from the last few GB... I think it will be very difficult indeed.
The most likely scenario is to ask for the Italian layout at least for the dysub sets but in any case there must be an adequate request... and here in Italy there are very few of us who enjoy this hobby.

GMK already has italian molds. Cherry and Olivetti have been made with that italian layout in the past (doubleshot GMK), I own some sets (probably 5 olivetti).

You are definitely right! I forgot about the KBD 2812, my mistake.
However, I can't think of anything else from that moment on (early 90s).
Do you have other boards in mind?

There were some cherry keyboards with italian gmk doubleshots. From the same years of olivetti though.

The current (few) ES & FR sets have been thanks to EloquentClicks (they are based in Spain), who have been pushing (and betting) on them. From what I gather, they went with the ES & FR combination because currently they don't see enough demand for IT & PT sets.
It's a similar case with Delta Key (based in France). They are preparing to release ES/FR kits for doubleshot sets from PBT Fans (also a miracle).
Seeing the trend, your best bet would be to ask for interest in the Coffeekeys discord. They are based in Italy, and if someone might take the risk to release a kit that includes IT support (combined with whatever layout they decide), it would be them.
