Italian term or phrase: VV. AA.
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?
