From Astrowatch.net:
"Italy, one of the key players of the European Space Agency (ESA), is continuously building up its important role in human spaceflight and in international space cooperation. The country of seven astronauts is shaping the future of Europe's next generation launch vehicles and is actively taking part in ESA's space exploration projects. In an interview with astrowatch.net, Italian Space Agency (ASI) President Roberto Battiston, talks his presidency and Italy's contribution to spaceflight."

One of the key responsibilities and contributions of the Italian Space Agency is to build Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules (MPLM)
"The modules were provided to NASA under contract by the Italian Space Agency (ASI). Three MPLMs were built and delivered to NASA and have names chosen by the ASI to denote some of the great talents in Italian history: Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello and Donatello. Although built by ASI, the modules are owned by NASA. In exchange for building the MPLMs, ASI receives access to U.S. research time on the ISS."
