Description of the contribution
My name is Laura Annis (student number 1076078) and I hereby present you the work I have done for the assignment. The articles I have contributed to are all linked to my territory, as I thought it would have been interesting to investigate about places I know and that I visit frequently.

First of all I created my account and registered to the dashbord of our project. I then added a brief descriprtion of myself both on my English (User:Laura.annis) and my Italian (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Laura.annis) user pages. I included information about me and about the master degree I am attending, also linking our Wikipedia dashboard page and the assignmet of the course. Afterwards I added, both on the Italian and the English page of the project, the articles I intended to work on. I mainly worked in my sandbox pages, making sure I didn't make mistakes, and finally, when I felt ready, I published my contributions and the respective comments in the different discussion pages.

Monastero di Santa Maria del Lavello
Within the first article about the Monastero di Santa Maria del Lavello I've decided to enrich the already available information of the article with a paragraph on a new topic about the miracles happened there (with the help of two ancient documents: A.S.Mi., Fondo di Religione, Parte Antica, Cart. 2887, fascicolo: “Miracoli e grazie della Beata Vergine del Lavello” - A.C.V. di Bergamo, Fascicoli Parrocchiali di Foppenico: Padre Aurelio Cola: "Relazione vera di un gran numero di gratie et miracoli fatti e concessi dalla Beata Vergine Maria del loco del Lavello della Valle San Martino, distretto di Bergamo, dellOrdine dei Servi...", 1634) and with two sentences in order to add more specific information about the history of the place. For that, I contacted the library of my municiplaity and requested a book about the topic in particular. I added it in the bibliography section at the end of the page; the book is also mentioned in the bibliography of the official web page (here is the link: http://monasterodellavello.it/storia-del-monastero-del-lavello/bibliografia-essenziale/) of the Fondazione Monastero del Lavello (Il monastero di santa Maria del Lavello / a cura di Agnese Penati Ferrerio, Nicola Pontiggia). In order to complete the article, I also reused a picture, which was already uploaded on Wikimedia Commons (link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monastero_di_Santa_Maria_del_Lavello_-_interno.jpg), regarding one of the frescoes inside the monastery. Finally I provided the explanation of my work on the discussion page of the article for both of my interventions, linking the web page of our project (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussione:Monastero_di_Santa_Maria_del_Lavello)

Italian version of the article
For the Italian article about the city of Lecco, I found the paragraph about the territory difficult to read, so I decided to improve the syntax without changing its meaning. Please find the explanation of my intervention here: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussione:Lecco

English version of the article
The English version of the article about Lecco, indeed, was less specific and so I decided to translate some more information about the Manzonian places a tourist can find in our territory, after checking the officialdom of the sources already used (Aroldo Benini, Massimiliano Bartesaghi, G. Scotti, Luoghi manzoniani a Lecco - Gian Luigi Daccò, Itinerari manzoniani a Lecco - Gian Luigi Daccò, Manzoni a Lecco. Luoghi e memorie). Along with this, I also decided to add some pictures about those places, which were also already available on Wikimedia Commons (links: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chiesa_Santi_Materno_e_Lucia.JPG - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Casalucia.jpg - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Villa_Manzoni.jpg). In order to cite one of the most notable person of Lecco, and to describe the territory of the city, I added a quote of the novel "The Betrothed" by Alessandro Manzoni, literally citing his work and giving credit to it. Also in this case I added a comment in the discussion page (Talk:Lecco).

Villa Monastero
Finally, with regards both the Italian and the English version of the article about Villa Monastero in Varenna, I decided to create a brief photo gallery in order to make the articles more captivating and even more complete. In order to do that, I uploaded four different pictures that I took myself on Wikimedia Commons (which are the ones I already linked at the top of the page), and other pictures that were already uploaded by other users (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EsinoLario_2013_033.jpg - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EsinoLario_2013_072.jpg - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EsinoLario_2013_069.jpg - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EsinoLario_2013_131.jpg - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lago_Como_2843.jpg). Here is the discussion page of the Italian article (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussione:Villa_Monastero) and the English one (Talk:Villa Monastero)

Specific edit on the English version of the article
The only difference between the two versions is the fact that in the English one I added one more photo, which was already available in the Italian one (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:770VarennaVillaMonastero.JPG).

Fallouts and personal considerations
I found the assignment really interesting and stimulating. At the moment just one person from the community thanked me for the contribution I made on the Italian version of the Lecco's article. I am waiting hopefully for more interactions with them.
