Hi, Alessio,

I do not speak italian but has looked sometimes at
ispell/myspell2/hunspell affix files, so here go my 2cents.

First, I suggest you to send the exact words that triggered the error,
to make debugging easier. From what I see, the problem might be that
"È" flag is not present in aff file, but used in the dic file

$ grep È /usr/share/hunspell/it_IT.dic
possedere/ÈI
risedere/ÈI
sedere/ÈSI
soprassedere/ÈI

$ grep È /usr/share/hunspell/it_IT.aff
TRY aioertnsclmdpgubzfvhàq'ACMSkBGPLxEyRTVòIODNwFéùèìjUZKHWJYQXÙÀÒÈÌÉ
# Nota: non presenti nel dizionario: ÙÀÒÈÌÉ, vanno aggiunte alla TRY rigenerata
MAP eéèEÉÈ

"I" flag seems to work well,

$ echo possedermi possederti possedervi possederci | hunspell -a -d it_IT
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.7.2)

Do not know what "È" flag was supposed to handle. By the way, other
words in above list should show similar problems.

I do not speak italian, so I suggest you to report this problem
directly to the upstream email available in it_IT.aff file.

Hope this helps,
