Hi everybody!
An electrician friend of mine asked me about some CAD software for
electric (not electronics) facilites.
I don't know how to say that in english, but he just has to draw the
"schematics" of wires plugs, devices, etc he will install into a flat.
I know this newsgroup is for electronics, but I hope you know also about
those applications (and maybe some are for both the uses).
It would be obviously better if you indicated me some open source
programs, or at least applications available also in italian, but
whatever U know is good for me ;-)
Thanks in advance!

Almost any mechanical CAD program would work if you don't need to
extract a netlist - I use Intellicad (an AutoCad clone.). Some
programs may come with a library of electrical symbols, but it should
be easy to make your own symbols or blocks. The first drawing or two
may take some time as you build the symbols you need.
