Description

I tried following code with the versions 1.0.0 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 on Windows with python 3.7.4 and all three versions have the same output of None:
dateparser.parse('mar, 07 giu 2022 08:56:47 +0200')
dateparser.parse('mar, 07 giu 2022 08:56:47 +0200', date_formats=['%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z'])
dateparser.parse('mar, 07 giu 2022 08:56:47 +0200', date_formats=['%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z'], languages=['it'])

What am I missing?

Research direction

Reproduce the reported Italian input with dateparser.parse and the supplied date_formats and languages arguments. Trace the Italian locale and strptime-format handling to determine why the result is None; done means the example parses successfully without regressing the existing date-format behavior.
