You add books to the list at the top of the list, at the tab next to "all votes."
If memory serves me correctly, I believe Italy is indeed a setting in that one, though not the predominant one (London).

Interesting that on the list voted on by people who read books in Italian, the highest-rated book by an Italian author is "Survival in Auschwitz", while in this poll it's #40. Their second-highest by an Italian author is "The Name of the Rose", which is #1 here.

It's that small I can't even remember...
