Italiano term

per bello che sia

Da Italiano a Inglese Marketing Generale/Conversazioni/Auguri/Lettere
non si tratta di esportare un prodotto dell’eccellenza italiana, che sia un abito d’alta moda, un oggetto di design, o un’auto dalle grandi prestazioni, tutte cose per cui l’Italia è conosciuta ed apprezzata in tutto il mondo; non si tratta di vendere un oggetto, per bello che sia.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

....no matter how beautiful it may be....

This isn't just about selling a product, no matter how beautiful it may be.....another alternative could be "regardless of its beauty..." This expression is necessarily followed by an idea that contrasts the beauty whether aesthetic or otherwise.

Example sentence:

Un oggetto, per bello che sia, diventa completamente inutile quando smettiamo di usarlo per lo scopo.

Regardless of an object’s beauty, if it doesn’t do something useful it isn’t designed well.

irrespective of/despite its/notwithstanding its beauty

It does not matter how beautiful the object is, that fact alone will not make it sell, is not enough-one does not buy an object just because of its beauty, that is the essence of your text
