Italian term or phrase: consolidati
Come potevano aver immaginato di “fotografare” la Rete che è globale e inafferrabile, dai cui gangli passano scambi economici e finanziari, saperi scientifici e decisioni politiche, la cui crescita ha creato nuovi imperi polverizzandone di consolidati

Having trouble with this one! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Explanation:
I'm just putting an alternative based on the context given.

I'd translate it this way: whose growth built new empires while crushing others that were (or had been) well-rooted.

agree  philgoddard: I would leave out "well" - it doesn't add anything.

agree  Edward A Tokash: On the contrary, I think "well" is needed since it adds emphasis and purports the correct force of the meaning.
