Italian to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / CV | | Italian term or phrase: dell’Ateneo stesso | | Context: Nel 2009 XXXX ha fondato, insieme a un gruppo di accademici dell’Università degli Studi di Milano e dell’Ateneo stesso, uno spin-off universitario denominato Foldless. |
| | | the University (itself) | Explanation:
The spinoff was organized by a group of academics associated with the University - who could have acted without the University's participation - and the University itself. I think in this case the 'itself' is optional in English.

As I read it, 'insieme a' applies to both of the elements following in the comma offset phrase, which is perhaps a more English construction. That is, as a statement of fact in a CV, this person participated in the spinoff together with a group of university faculty - who acted unofficially with respect to the university - and the university itself. In the limited context we have, I understand l'Ateneo as simply a different term to refer to the aforestated Università.
The better construction in Italian may be to repeat the 'a' for each element, but I do not know any other way to understand this phrase; perhaps this is someone in the university that has been influenced by working with English. If that is the case, the discussion is with the author. :)
If I have missed a subtlety, please do correct my reading. |
