I suppose the winner will have to be a native Anglophone, and even though they are numerous I am not one of them - and my Italian is also a wee bit rusty. Besides it irks me that you have to accept at least three books from the peirenepress in order to participate. So no, I'm not going to participate in the competition. But just for fun I translated the Italian text into Danish, and the result can be seen in my log. And it didn't take a full holiday to make the experiment, just something like two hours.

I must admit that I completely overlooked that condition. If I had seen it, I probably wouldn't have posted the link. That makes the whole competition a bit sketchy.

Maybe you can find out who bought the Danish rights and offer them your services?
