Thanks for looking into this, Tijl.

I'm not an expert in locales, but I'm Italian and can assure you that, no, we
don't do AM/PM; I referenced the wikipedia link as an authoritative source,
which explains:

In oral communication, 12-hours are prominently used since 24-hours are
considered very formal. In 12-hours, hour figures are always preceded by the
definite article and a.m. or p.m. are never used.

IMHO, "am or pm are never used" sums it up unambiguously.

The other issue reported in this bug was about d_fmt, which should use "/" as
the separator, not "." - the same wikipedia page explains that, although
variations existed in the past, the modern format is dd/mm/yyyy.
