Why are you using an Italian localised Pidgin if you do not understand 
Italian?  In any case, knowing the exact error message makes it much 
easier to trace the exact part of the source code that is generating it. 
  Whilst the actual messages in the code are in English, there are .po 
files distributed with the code which allow you or someone trying to 
support you, to match the localised error message with its canonical 
form, but to search those easily, one needs the exact localised error 
message.

You need to find what changed.  If you can't work that out, the contents 
of the debug window may give a clue as to what file Pidgin might have 
been trying to access at the time.

Also, you should always identify the service you are trying to access.
