Andrea,

At the API or scripting level there is the OGRGeometryFactory::forceToPolygon()
method to try and convert a multipolygon to a simple polygon.  I am not
aware of a way to do this from the commandline utilities.

/************************************************************************/
/*                           forceToPolygon()                           */
/************************************************************************/

/**
  * \brief Convert to polygon.
  *
  * Tries to force the provided geometry to be a polygon.  Currently
  * this just effects a change on multipolygons.  The passed in geometry is
  * consumed and a new one returned (or potentially the same one).
  *
  * @param poGeom the input geometry - ownership is passed to the method.
  * @return new geometry.
  */

OGRGeometry *OGRGeometryFactory::forceToPolygon( OGRGeometry *poGeom )

Best regards,
