Questions & Answers about Avremmo voluto l'apporto di tutti loro per il progetto congiunto.
Why does tutti come before loro here, and why isn't there an article?
When combining the quantifier tutto with a stressed (tonic) personal pronoun like loro, noi, or voi, tutto comes directly before the pronoun and matches it in gender and number. Unlike when tutto is used with a noun (where you need a definite article, like tutti i progetti), no article is used between tutto and a pronoun. So, "all of them" is simply tutti loro.
What if the group of people we are talking about was entirely female?
Avremmo voluto means "We would have liked". Why use volere (to want) instead of piacere (to like)?
English frequently uses "would have liked" for unfulfilled past desires, but Italian naturally uses the past conditional of volere (avremmo voluto, literally "we would have wanted"). You could technically say ci sarebbe l'apporto... (the input would have pleased us), but avremmo voluto is much more direct and idiomatic for expressing a clear intent or wish that didn't happen.
