Italian term

VV. AA.

Italian to English Science General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters agronomy
This is in the body of an article as a bibliography reference (eg VV. AA. 1999).

The cited article is:
"VV. AA., 1999. Sviluppo agricolo sostenibile del bacino del Lago Trasimeno. Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche ed Estimative, a cura di Author 1. e Author 2. – UNIPG, ARUSIA – Regione dell’Umbria"

I've never come across this before, could it be standard Italian way of citing certain types of articles?
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 autori vari - various authors

autori vari - various authors

as found in the web, VVAA in the plural for various authors of the various articles found in the publication)

actually quite standard if it fits with the rest of the text....

Grazie.
agree philgoddard : Someone told me recently that if you posted a question that had already been asked, you got a message to that effect. Is that not true?

Thanks, Phil. I don't know, but if so, it would certainly help improve the system. (Thanks for your forum contributions on the issue.)
