Per quanto riguarda l'ordine del giorno, lo leggiamo ora.

It means as far as ... is concerned, regarding, or as for.

In this sentence, Per quanto riguarda l'ordine del giorno introduces the topic:

• Per quanto riguarda X = as for X / regarding X

Literally, it is something like for what concerns or for as much as it concerns, but in normal English you should think of it as a fixed expression meaning regarding.

Because ordine is a masculine singular noun that begins with a vowel, so il becomes l' before it.

• il libro
• l'ordine

This is just the normal article elision rule in Italian.

Ordine del giorno is a common expression meaning agenda.

Literally, it looks like order of the day, but in many contexts it means the list of points to be discussed, especially in a meeting.

So in this sentence, it most likely refers to the agenda of a meeting or discussion.

Because del = di + il.

So:

• di = of
• il giorno = the day
• di + il = del

That is why ordine del giorno literally comes from order of the day.

This kind of contraction is very common in Italian:

• di + il = del
• a + il = al
• da + il = dal
• in + il = nel

Lo is a direct object pronoun meaning it.

It refers back to l'ordine del giorno.

So:

• leggiamo l'ordine del giorno = we read the agenda
• lo leggiamo = we read it

In the full sentence, the noun is introduced first as the topic, and then Italian repeats it with the pronoun:

• Per quanto riguarda l'ordine del giorno, lo leggiamo ora.

This is very natural in Italian.

In Italian, unstressed object pronouns normally come before a conjugated verb.

So:

• lo leggiamo = we read it
• not leggiamo lo

Compare:

• la vedo = I see her / it
• ti chiamo = I call you
• li conosco = I know them

Pronouns can go after the verb in some other structures, such as with infinitives or positive commands, but not here.

Yes, you could.

For example:

• Per quanto riguarda l'ordine del giorno, leggiamo l'ordine del giorno ora
  This is grammatically possible, but it sounds repetitive.

Italian often prefers the pronoun once the noun has already been mentioned:

• Per quanto riguarda l'ordine del giorno, lo leggiamo ora.

That sounds more natural.

Because Italian usually leaves subject pronouns out when they are already clear from the verb ending.

Leggiamo means we read / we are reading, so the we is already built into the ending -iamo.

• leggo = I read
• leggi = you read
• leggiamo = we read

You could say noi leggiamo, but it is not necessary unless you want extra emphasis or contrast.

It is the present indicative, first person plural, from leggere.

• leggere = to read
• leggiamo = we read / we are reading

In context, the Italian present can also sound like an immediate future in English, especially with ora:

• lo leggiamo ora = we’re reading it now or we’ll read it now

So the exact English translation depends on context.

The comma separates the introductory topic phrase from the main clause.

• Per quanto riguarda l'ordine del giorno = topic setter
• lo leggiamo ora = main statement

This is similar to English:

• As for the agenda, we’ll read it now.

The comma helps show that the first part frames the topic.

It is fairly neutral and often a bit formal or organized in tone. You often see it in speech, meetings, presentations, emails, and writing.

Depending on context, Italian also uses alternatives such as:

• Riguardo a ...
• Quanto a ...
• Per quanto concerne ... (more formal)

But Per quanto riguarda ... is very common and useful.

Italian word order is flexible, and ora often comes at the end naturally:

• lo leggiamo ora

This puts the focus slightly on now.

You could also hear:

• ora lo leggiamo
• lo leggiamo adesso

These are all possible, with small differences in emphasis.

Yes. In many contexts, ora and adesso both mean now.

So you could say:

• Per quanto riguarda l'ordine del giorno, lo leggiamo ora.
• Per quanto riguarda l'ordine del giorno, lo leggiamo adesso.

Both are natural. Sometimes adesso can feel a little more emphatic, but very often they are interchangeable.

Because leggere is an -ere verb, and its noi form in the present tense is -iamo:

• io leggo
• tu leggi
• lui/lei legge
• noi leggiamo
• voi leggete
• loro leggono

The double gg is part of the verb stem here.

So leggiamo is the regular present-tense we form of leggere.

Yes. This is a very common Italian structure.

Italian often introduces the topic first and then resumes it with a pronoun in the main clause:

• Il libro, lo leggo domani.
• Maria, la vedo più tardi.
• L'ordine del giorno, lo leggiamo ora.

In English, this kind of repetition is less common, but in Italian it is normal and often sounds very natural.
