Italian translation

This is an email received by Rick Davies, 19 December 2016

Dear Mr Davies,
I am Maria Fabiani, independent monitoring and evaluation consultant. I also teach methodology of research at Tor Vergata University in Rome and I am member of the European Evaluation Society. If you agree, I would like to translate the MSC Guide into Italian. I am aware that translation will be a voluntary work and the translation will be made available on your website to allow other people to make comments on the translation. Looking forward to hearing from you
Kind regards,
Maria Fabiani

 Jess Dart and I are both keen to encourage Maria to go ahead with this translation Unfortunately our emails sent back to Maria have bounced. If anyone knows how to contact Maria please let us know
