Internally, the date/time string is converted to a timestamp. That is used in a few ways including sorting and as part of the key. And as part of the mechanism for merging annotations that have been fetched over time.

Also, I realised I was wrong about the matching for Italian. It should be working. But, the example file you sent, the month for a lot of the entries is "Luglio". The code I have has this in lower case only. That will break the parsing of the timestamp.
