Formally, I would say Regarding the cash prize/With regard to the cash prize... Informally you can just say About the cash prize....
I would avoid As regards or As regard. See this site for Common English Errors: "Business English is deadly enough without scrambling it. 'As regards your downsizing plan...' is acceptable, if stiff. 'In regard to...' is also correct. But don’t confuse the two by writing 'In regards to.'"

I completely agree with what Isp wrote.
Another expression you can use is also "Concerning the cash prize..."
nowall, I can't exactly think of how to define the use of "As for" with respect to the other ones... I was about to say that it's more informal, but you can find it in formal writing as well... There is a clear difference in intention between "As for that other issue" and "About that other issue", but I can't quite put my finger on it... Ok, wait a sec, maybe it's that "About that other issue" is more like "Riguardo quell'altra cosa/situazione/problema/etc ..." mentre "As for" is more "Per quanto riguarda quell'altra cosa...". Siccome i concetti però sono molto simili, alla fine non fa molta differenza. Let me put it this way: "About","Regarding","With regard to" etc. introduce a topic, "As for" introduces another topic. Very subtle though, since of course if after talking about something you again introduce a new topic, you are effectively introducing another topic, but I think that's it.
One situation where you can see the difference is that unless you're conceptually continuing a conversation you've previously had, you can't introduce the first topic of an exchange with "As for the cash prize...", just as you can't introduce it with "Per quanto riguarda", you would have to say "Regarding the cash prize, we have decided that...". ("About" is maybe yet a little different, in that it is also used to tie back into a topic that was mentioned by someone else; in Italian this would probably most closely match "A proposito del premio in denaro...")
Alright, that's it. Sorry for the long post...

Regarding the child situation...you didn't misunderstand, I actually wanted you to know that Itiffy said:could you translate this into english please
Per quanto riguarda la situazione del figlio...nn hai capito
male, volevo proprio farti intendere che con te volevo condividere la
gioia di un figlio, e quel desiderio e' sempre in me.
Per piacere, I know what this means but I can't think of an elegant translation for it in English.
Le predette dilberazioni di approvazione del progetto di fusione sono state iscritte presso il registro delle impreses di novara in data 14/9
per quanto riguarda De Agostini S.p.A
As of now I translate it as: for that which regards but I think there might be something better.
Thanks.

How about "As for..." or "In regard to..." o simply "Regarding...."
I think you're right, regarding is what it's going to have to be. Thanks.
With regard to the/concerning in Italian - per quanto riguarda?
Puo' interessarti sapere che "per quanto riguarda" si usa anche se si parla delle cose plurali.
Cioe' si dice "per quanto riguarda le altre persone ecc" non per quanto riguardano.."

Hello:
Would "per quanto riguarda", then..be equivalent to "in quanto a"? "rispetto a " ? All can be used the same way?
The idiomatic expressions always confuse me.
Thanks!!

"rispetto a " is more like "in comparison with" though.
"Per quanto riguarda X"="As for X", "As far as X goes," "Regarding X".
Dipende (come sempre) dal contesto!

Ciao. I need your help again ....
full line is ........
Per quanto rigiarda il mio futuro faccio un passo alla volta.
I cannot find the meaning of "rigiarda".
How should I translate "rigiarda" into English ?
(for this rigiarda my future which I step at the time (or in the direction ...) )
Grazie

Spelling mistake: it's riguarda.
As to my future, I will go on step by step.
As to my future, I will go on step by step.
Per quanto riguarda can also be something like:
"In regard to" or "as far as it concerns" right?
"In regard to" or "as far as it concerns" right?
Right. More options:
"As far as my future is concerned...."
"With respect to my future..."
etc.
"As far as my future is concerned...."
"With respect to my future..."
etc.
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if is correct to begin a sentence with "What about/How about ..." in the case I need some information. For example:
What about the payment? ("Per quanto riguarda il pagamento? Is the translation correct?)
How about the payment? (with the same meaning)
What about the working hours?
and so on.
Thanks in advance
Bye

Ciao Ziggurat23,
"What/How about" can't always be used to say "per quanto riguarda..", it depends on whether or not this is the first question you are asking about a particular subject. These expressions in English are used to ask follow-up questions, not the initial question, and in any case they are quite informal and are more likely to be used in a verbal conversation and not in writing.
Eg. What does the job pay? Is the salary good?
And what about the hours? Are they long?
How about holidays? How many days do you get?
It would not be correct to begin a conversation with these terms and I wouldn't use them in a letter, especially if it is formal.
Other ways of saying "per quanto riguarda..." are:
As for...
As regards...
As far as X is concerned...
With regard to...
Hope it helps

I totally agree with you, Murphy, actually I didn't clarify it better, because I thought that Ziggurat had asked only about the possibility of starting a sentence with "and what about...? How about...?"
In any case, a good translation of that expressions is "e a proposito di...?" or "e per quanto riguarda/concerne etc ...?"
Ciao a tutti e due!
Thank you so much guys, I really appreciate your suggestions.
Have a nice evening.

Vorrei essere sicura se queste circunlocuzioni sono giuste:
As for the atom goes, we can say that is made up of a central nucleus and a number of electrons revolving around it.
Posso sostituire l'espressione sottolineata con
As for the atom, we can say that.....
About the atom, " "
Speaking about the atom" "
Qualcuno potrebbe suggerirmene altre?

Ciao!
Mi viene in mente As far as the atom is concerned (che è la forma più lunga di "as for..."). Le tue opzioni mi sembrano buone! Non sono sicura dell'ultima, nel senso che credo si possa dire ma forse suona un po' più colloquiale... ma potrei sbagliarmi

I like Spooky's take on this. Or even
Regarding the atom, we can...
To be honest, though it doesn't really flow all that well with the rest of the sentence. I think something like
The atom, as we well know, is made up...
Maybe this is too far from the Italian?

Not really. In Italian that would be "L'atomo, come sappiamo/come abbiamo già detto..."
Especially if you talked about it earlier in the text, it's perfectly ok to say that (we would probably omit the "well"/"bene").
Of course, if Ariel needs to change the subject or delve deeper into something the text has just hinted at, As for & co. sound better
