Interesting. Wondering if it's the math or the towgs84 params.
Italy has the very sorry situation (not sure how common in other
countries) that in order to have sub-meter precision on a local area
transformation you need the TOWGS84 params _for that area_, usually
contained in a document that can be bought by the militars.

The 3 towgs84 params contained in the epsg database do not allow
for a precision better than 4 meters, and unfortunately geotools
is just picking one of them, I believe the one valid for Sardinia,
so if you're reprojecting on the continental part, you'll
get even bigger errors. (I'm reporting by memory, so I may
be completely off on the magnitude of the errors or about the
chosen towgs84 set of params).

Cheers
Andrea
