Public bug reported:

The text used for word prediction in Italian [1] is IMHO not very
suitable for the goal of predicting words typed into computers nowadays
(especially on phones), fo a few reasons:

- it's very old -- from 1868; particles like "cotesto", "pel", "pei" are not used anymore
- it's mostly written in the "passato remoto" past tense, which is not that common in modern speech
- it talks about history, with ample use of long and rarely used words.
- dialogues are entirely missing

I think it should be changed with a modern text, not without dialogues.
Does this have to be a single book, or can we assemble a few different
texts together (i'm thinking about adding some pieces from newspapers,
blogs and short novels, mostly)?
