Dear Andreia Frazao,
the most recent Italian encyclopedia about saints would surely be Il Grande
Libro dei santi (1998- several volumes). Unfortunately I have seen only
copies of a few of it's entries and I have even misplaced the
bibliographical information somewhere (Gabriella Zarri was one of the
editors).
The entries that I have seen were really promising: up-to-date, precise,
critical, and containing also a lot of information about the hagiographers
and their texts.
