unit	the type of Italian statistical unit to link
unit_subset	character vector of unit names to extract
matchWith	the type of id
dir	local directory in which shape files are stored
use_cache	a logical value indicating whether to use the cache
use_internet	a logical value indicating wheter the coordinates are downloaded from https://github.com/dataallaround/geospatial. If FALSE the maps downloaded during package installation will be used
