I am a native Italian speaker. Publishing in your native language on Steemit at the moments is a bit of a chicken and egg game. ..people feel their language community is too small for their post to have an impact. ..but the community will hardly grow unless we publish more posts in our language and then share them on Facebook, etc. @gavvet : would you like to help us, perhaps by featuring a few Italian authors soon? Personally, I would be interested, but I would also be glad to introduce you to other Italian authors..
