I do not recommend using gnc for daily quotes, it is not well suited to 
dealing with the volume of information, it does not have the expected 
graphical tools, it is not good at distinguishing intra day prices *and* 
it would be a pain in the culo recording frequent trades with the 
provided interface.

So, match your gnc price fetching to your portfolio valuation points, I 
suggest weekly or monthly, and use something else for watching the 
market is my general advice. [1]

Having said that ...

Finance::Quote (generally) gets its prices from publicly available 
sources.  Are you comparing the price F::Q gets versus a live feed?  If 
so F::Q will (like the public price source) always be behind.  Live 
prices cost money!

Further there are always differences in buy and sell prices that can 
easily account for 10% or more on illiquid instruments and some Mutual 
Funds / Unit Trusts / whatever they are called in Italy specifically set 
their prices to make them more or less attractive relative to assets 
depending on marketing campaigns and so on.

>I tried all others sources but no one have the Italian quotes.

It is a good idea to see the source F::Q is using in your browser 
yourself before saying F::Q is wrong, that way you'll see F::Q *can't* 
get a price you can't see for yourself and copy and paste into gnc.

>Can anyone help me? There is possible to add in the sources list another
>website as www.morningstar.it <http://www.morningstar.it> ?

it looks like F::Q knows about morningstar.se and morningstar.co.jp so 
I'd suggest you start with one of those as a template if you wanted to 
add morningstar.it

[1] some people disagree with me about this, I believe they speak from 
principle rather than practice :)
