I'm trying to read a csv, that appears to have a problem in a specific line.
I'm trying to explore the problem, since I got the error
Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 23 fields in line 27, saw 37
Here's what I discovered:
the first 26 lines are read OK:
zero=pd.read_csv(basepath/nome, low_memory=False, dtype=str, delimiter=";", nrows=25)
but at line 26, the function takes a multindex dataframe, even if the database doesn't have multindex.
zero=pd.read_csv(basepath/nome, low_memory=False, dtype=str, delimiter=";", skiprows=25)
Even forcing the index to None (index_col=None), the result is a multindex table (the table is shown with the first 9 cols of indexes)...
how can I avoid this and read the csv properly?

Most likely there are separators inside some fields in that row.
Make sure those fields are quoted and quotechar='"'.
To handle quotes contained in a field like:
"L.E.P. DI PIROZZI CARMINE S.A.S.\"";;;;;;;; "08020650019";
escapechar='\\' can be used.
