I am happy to report that the Italian translation of my book, Think Like a Commoner, has now been published. La Rinascita dei Commons: Successi e potenzialita del movimento globale a tutela dei beni comuni — or The Rebirth of Commons: Successes and Potential of the Global Movement for the Protection of Commons –was translated by Bernardo Parrella over the past year.
My thanks to Bernardo for his initiative and tenacity in doing the translation and in finding a suitable publisher, Stampa Alternativa. And my thanks also to the pioneering Italian commons thinker and activist Ugo Mattei for writing the preface.
Italy is at the vanguard of many commons innovations these days. One sign of this is the first International Festival of the Commons (organized by Mattei), which will be held in Chieri, Italy, from July 9 to 12. I plan to attend, so perhaps I will see you there.
For the record, the Italian edition of Think Like a Commoner is the third translation, following the Polish and French translations. Translations into Spanish, Korean and Chinese are now pending.

I think what you posted was very reasonable. However, what
about this? what if you added a little information? I mean, I don’t wish to
tell you how to run your website, but what if you added something that
makes people want more? I mean Just Published:

You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
