+1  for the revert
 I'm also not a proper sicilian mapper but I map in many areas in Siciliy.
I don't know if he deleted some duplicate relation but it's not the way osm
community work (sure not the italian).
In addition he has removed many ways where the addr:street was replaced with
the relation type=street membership. this action potentially broke the
routing in many software engine.
for example take a look to this relation history[1] and his node member[2]
where this mapping style [3] was utilised. Removing the relation without add
an addr:street tag to the node broke the navigation and inhibit the
correction with semi-automatic tools that need to know the street name, from
the relation, to add the correct value to addr:street and THEN remove the
relation (or only the node membership).
He has not done this type of correction before removing the relation(I don't
see it) so his action is definitely, formally and substantially wrong imho.
