What's up with We the Italians
4
Labor day– the first Monday of September - is like the beginning of a new year, even in Italy where our Labor Day is celebrated on May 1st. We the Italians is changing, improving, and after the august break our magazine comes back with some news.The first one is this column. We feel the need to tell you what’s up with We the Italians: many things have been done, many results achieved, many more are ahead of us. The future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades! So, we’ll use a small room of every number of our magazine to tell you what we’ re doing.
The magazine will be fortnightly from now on, either as a section of our website and in the flipping book/pdf download version. It’ll be easier for us and for you. Besides this small column it will contain my interview to somebody who has something interesting and new to say about one of the thousand aspects of the relationship between Italy and the US, and the columns about several different aspects of our beloved country. As for now we have 16 of them, in every issue: and let us tell you that no other country in the world could allow that much excellence, nobody would ever be able to do something similar regarding any other country in the world. That’s how fantastic Italy is.
The newsletter will also be fortnightly, following the magazine. Our database is growing fast, but there’s so many fellow Italians in the US we still have to reach. So please, help us spreading the word about it. Our Facebook fan page has reached 10,000 like, but it’s only the beginning (though, not a bad result, right?).
I spent last Saturday august 30 at the wonderful Festival delle Storie. It is organized by a friend of We the Italians, Vittorio Macioce, in his native land, the spectacular Valle di Comino, in the southeastern part of Lazio. A place that we highly advice you all to visit, next time you’ll be in Italy.
