I second Kevin in the understanding of the problem.
I think one approach could be:
 - Parse current version of Italian Wikipedia dump (no need to go for
revisions history, only current version should be enough) and extract pages
info (id and title) which contain GPS info (Since I don't know how GPS
coordinates are repsented in wiki pages, I can't really help on that side).
 - Once the list (page_title - GPS point) is built, depending on the size
of the lsit, either request the pageview API or ask the analytics team for
data extraction for the given pages over a time period.
Cheers
Joseph
