P.L.F. Persio Oct 22, 2007:
Wendell is right, it's a typo for "comunità montane".
WendellR Oct 22, 2007:
Almost certainly a typo for "communita` montane."

agree WendellR : Agree about leaving it in Italian; neutral about "consortia" and "municipalities". "Mountain communities" works just fine; I don't see any consortia in the original, btw.

Thanks, Wedell. I believe these municipalities are formally organised in consortia.

- For all the final beneficiaries, the sector of intervention and the initiatives foreseen within the consortium of communes of mountain areas, due to their very nature, will be realised in co-operation with the communes and local communities which, besides the employment services, will be an important channel for involving the end users.

Il fatto che si critichi il web, si critichi i vocabolari (non italiani, in questo caso) mi sembra poco corretto; quello che io vedo quotidianamente che gli americani e gli inglesi non usano ed evitano spesso le parole di origine latina e greca, che invece sono corrette. Forse sono ... più ostiche-
Peer comment(s):

neutral WendellR : Commune means something different in English // Yep! And that's why IT-EN translations should be done by native speakers. The fact that you can find a word in the dictionary doesn't make it appropriate in context.

vedi WordReference.com - English-Italian Dictionary / Merriam-Webster D. - I comuni sono i piccoli centri abitati con propria amministrazione, come dice il vocabolario: "commune = municipality".
