Amici di Italy Magazine,
The Allied Forces landed in Sicily in July 1943 in a campaign that changed the course of World War II. This year survivors of the campaign will mark the 70th anniversary with various ceremonies across the island.
Carol King reported on the operation and how those who lost their lives are remembered today.
Our Homage to Verdi is dedicated to Macbeth. Having been an admirer of Shakespeare's works, it is no surprise that Verdi wrote a number of operas based on some of his most famous plays such as Otello and Falstaff. Perhaps the most well known of these is Macbeth which was commissioned by Teatro della Pergola, Florence.
Italian cinema has produced a number of amazing actresses known both for their beauty and acting talent. We struggled to select the top ten Italian divas of the past and we are ready to make amend, but we do believe that all the Italian Divas we selected, from Sophia Loren to Anna Magnani, fully deserve to be part of the list as they have represented Italian talent around the world over the past decades.
This year we created a 2013 Italy Magazine desktop wallpaper calendar. We hope you liked the idea and downloaded the first months. It is now possible to download the July page.
A presto!
ITALY team
