Gnumeric uses the current locale settings to select things like
    - decimal seperator
    - thousands grouping
    - day-month-year vs month-day-year
    - default currency
    etc

You can set your environment using LC_ALL or break things down more
specificly using LC_NUMERIC and LC_MONETARY to leave the messages in
english, but still use italian numeric conventions.  There are lots
of docs and tools available on how to set those environment
variables.

Good Luck
