I got first introduced to cryptocurrencies in general (Bitcoin) and got rapidly interested in both its functioning mechanisms and its practical implications. The deeper I was diving though, the clearer was to me the necessity to preserve the privacy of the financial activity of the users. This is when I discovered Monero. I started to explore its ethos, the community behind it and its mechanisms by reading multiple resources available online, including Mastering Monero. Thanks to its gradual approach to technical terms and new tech, this book made me soon fall in love with Monero. And still I am.
Some relevant data on Italian: Italy is home to more than 62 million individuals and is ranked 23rd in population size when compared with other countries throughout the world. Besides Italy, which is home to about 60 million native speakers, Italian is spoken in many other countries around the world. It’s the official language of Italy, San Marino, Switzerland, the Vatican City and certain parts of Slovenia and Croatia. In the past, Italian was also an official language of Monaco, Albania and Malta.
Even discounting those who know the language of Versace, Gucci and Prada, Italian is one of the world’s major languages and has significant populations of native and non-native speakers in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, Eritrea, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Libya, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mexico, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, UAE, UK, the US and Venezuela.
With eight million Italian language learners, Italian is the sixth most studied language in the world. The number of Italian speakers can only grow over time. About 15.5 million Americans consider themselves Italian Americans. Approximately 710,000 speak Italian as the first language and use it at home. A majority of the Italian-speaking people are in Buffalo, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, and St Louis. It is the fifth most studied language in the United States.
Italy is the third-largest economy in the euro zone. With 94 million tourists per year (2019) according with ENIT, Italy is the third most visited country in international tourism arrivals, with 217.7 million foreign visitors nights spent and a total of 432.6 million visitors. This is important because if we educate costumers and merchants on cryptocurrencies (especially Monero), theycould start to accept them as payment options. This would be ideal for those tourists who would like to pay with cryptocurrencies.
I've already completed the translation (non-definitive) of few chapters (1.md, 2.md) and added some minor corrections. You can inspect the work [here](https://github.com/monerobook/monerobook/pull/109) and please tell me if you think that it is up to the quality standard or not. Translation is made through multiple reviews, updates and improvements on both syntax and semantics. No automatic translation. This is why this work will take me some time ~ 3 months.
