usepackageamsmath
usepackagegensymb
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagecsvsimple
usepackagebooktabs
usepackagelongtable
usepackage[T1]fontenc

begindocument
csvautotabularBook2.csv

enddocument

and this is the content of the csv file, i made it with excel and converted with notepad++

frequenza ν (Hz),frequenza teorica ν (Hz) ,nodi n
510,537.18,2
760,805.78,3
1010,1074.38,4
1280,1342.97,5
1550,1611.56,6

It fails creating the PDF, this is the error message:

Package gensymb Warning: Not defining perthousand.
Package gensymb Warning: Not defining micro.

! Undefined control sequence.
GenericError ...

? ^C! Interruption.

Thank you for your answers

Probably a font problem; with Gentium and xelatex seems to work:

documentclassarticle
usepackagefontspec
usepackage[greek, italian, english]babel
setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]Gentium
usepackageamsmath
usepackagecsvsimple

begindocument
csvautotabularBook2.csv
enddocument

Gives

For pdflatex you can map the ν character in the input to $nu$ using newunicodecharacter. However, csvsimple does not allow macros in header lines because the header values are used to create keys to refer to the corresponding columns. A workaround for that is to disable the code that creates the keys.

documentclassarticle
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagecsvsimple
usepackagenewunicodechar
% map ν in input to macro
newunicodecharν$nu$

makeatletter
% switch off csvsimple column name macros
defset@csv@headrelax
makeatother

begindocument
csvautotabularbook2.csv

enddocument

Result:

If you don't want to define the character mapping yourself then you can use the alphabeta package - note however that the characters look a bit different.

usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagecsvsimple
usepackagealphabeta

makeatletter
% switch off csvsimple column name macros
defset@csv@headrelax
