Alex brollo

I'm working as Alex_brollo into various wiki projects (mostly into it.wikisource by now).

I'm Italian; I presume, my English level could be best stated as 1-2 (as you can see). Strange to say, I can't understand, speak or write bengali at all, nor any other indic language/script, nevertheless.... I boldly contribute here :-)
