Talk:Andrea Beltratti

Update and reorganisation of the entry

Hello,
I would like to suggest an update of the contents of this entry as well as a reorganisation of them, perhaps by theme. While I was drafting my suggestion, I saw that I was actually changing the major part of the sentences now on the entry, although I kept the concepts. Therefore I'd rather publish here my whole suggestion highlighting in bold what I did NOT change, instead of making small and numerous changes. For the "Main Publications" section, I write here only the ones which are missing on the current entry. In brackets, within my proposal, you can find all the references I've found (listed then at the end of the text).

Thank you everybody for the collaboration, have a nice day --Fabrizio.Paschina (talk) 10:22, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
