Italy's meat production dataset

[DavideTr8]

Here is a list shared by the Italian government publicly: https://www.salute.gov.it/consultazioneStabilimenti/ConsultazioneStabilimentiServlet?ACTION=gestioneSingolaCategoria&idNormativa=2&idCategoria=1

The list contains all places where meat is treated, from slaughter houses to fridges, shipment places, ...
This is only for meat production, including fish.
This list is not for animal testing or other animal exploitation places.

A legend is at the very end of the page.
The list is only in Italian, even if column names are translated to English too.

If a translation is needed, I can provide it in this issue discussion.

Hello @DavideTr8 ! Thank you so much for doing this research. Since this data set would eventually need to be translated to coordinates on the map, is there any way to find the address for these locations easily. That would significantly speed up the process of integrating the data.

[DavideTr8]

Yes, the address is all in the "TOWN/REGION" column.
The format is:
street name and number, city (province abbreviated)

For example, the first row has
Street name: via Salvatore Martena
Number: 16
City: Bassiano
Province: LT -> Latina

For province abbreviations, they should work as is in a geolocation software, but if you need the expanded name, there are lists online like this one: https://kb.bullseyelocations.com/article/63-italy-province-codes

@DavideTr8 Thank you for getting back to me, that works! I'll just need to work on getting this data, and then we can add italy. This will be a massive contribution! Thank you for this and thank you for all you do for the animals. I will update you once I get around to this, I am totally swamped right now. Cheers!

[DavideTr8]

Thank you!

Please feel free to reach out to me again if you need more help interpreting the data!

Also, I've noticed that sometimes, in geolocation software, the address fails but if you search for the company name on GMaps, it finds it and the reported address is correct

@DavideTr8 I am looking to add this data set now, but it looks link you send is broken now, any ideas as to where else to get this data, I have a hard time navigating the Italian governments website since I don't speak Italian lol, thank you for all the help so far.

Hi @eliperez-dev , if I open the link it still works for me.

If you need, we can inspect together why it is not working.
Meanwhile I can check if it is available elsewhere.

@DavideTr8 Ok i see its working now, looks like the link was down temporarily earlier. I have scraped the data and am in the process of geocoding it, ill update you. Thanks again.
