Italian term or phrase: per presentarsi in unità
Context:La scelta di utilizzare l’italiano come lingua di espressione letteraria è invece molto diversa, perché non essendo una lingua della colonizzazione, in qualche modo paradossalmente viene a svolgere la funzione dell’arabo classico, dal momento in cui è eletta liberamente da voci sostanzialmente diverse tra loro per presentarsi in unità

to speak as one
Explanation:
chiming with the use of 'voice' earlier; I did toy with 'to share a common voice', but you'd have to recast the earlier use of 'voice' in the same sentence to make that work
