Note that Losurdo's book on Hegel has also been translated into English. You know, Italy produces a lot of interesting stuff. It's a shame that France takes priority in the snob culture pecking order.
Yes, I agree completely. The intellectual culture in Italy, from what I know of it, is currently vibrant in many facets. Unlike the dominant aspects of French philosophy they don't ignore the sciences either, thus there is a vibrant debate for and against various aspects of Chomsky's universal grammar, evoltuonary psychology, sociobiology and the relation to a materialist view of history, attempts to integrate the better aspects of cognitive science into a view of ideology, etc. All of it missed by those of us who are unable to read Italian. Plus there are so many good poets and novelists currently writing in Italian. Perhaps I am a bit prejudiced because of my own Italian roots, but the truth is I wouldn't have known anything about it except that Italian friends have pointed it out to me.
