Hi,

It would have been nice to have Wikimedia Italia
managing all this, but in
2014 Wikimedia Italia decided that it was too complicated and they did not
have enough staff to do it.
So in Esino Lario we applied for fundings through Associazione Amici del
Museo delle Grigne Onlus (an association of volunteers without staff)
and we established this new association to make the management and the
accountability of Wikimania possible, transparent and correct (also in this
case an association of volunteers without staff).
This choice was thought through and please do not hesitate to ask any
further question.
I did not participate in the decision (and my role in organizing
Wikimania is minimal to say the least), but I can add that this is a
quite common solution for organizing events in Italy (e.g. concerts).
