I have been compiling lists of Hivers in various countries using @hivesql. The profile location data is not very consistent, but I try to group people by area when there are a few. There may be some mistakes due to my lack of local knowledge. If I have listed you incorrectly then please let me know.
It actually does not take long to put these lists together, but finding all the people in a country takes more work. I will leave it to the national communities to do that and will make the source data available on Github. Anyone can edit that and use my scripts to produce posts like this. It just needs a little Python knowledge and I can assist to get you started.
I have no plans to run these lists often (apart from the monthly #Britlist), so it will be up to others to do so. Please tag me if you do and I will support the posts.
I wanted to do a list for Italy as I have got to know a few people there through Hive. There are a few scattered over the country and I wonder how many have met other Hivers. This list may help to make that happen.
I have not seen many posts written in Italian, but there needs to be a bigger audience to make that viable. I am always impressed when people can write well in a second language.
There have not been many new recruits recently, so we need to improve on that.
Italy is not far from Split, so I hope some Italians can make it to @hivefest.
