Amici di Italy Magazine,
This is a very special ITALY newsletter for us. After months of work we have launched our new site on http://www.italymagazine.com with revised styling and improved navigation. This just a first step along the way of turning ITALY into not only the website with the best content but also the website where it is easiest to find anything you might need to enjoy Italy at home and in your trips here. Check http://www.italymagazine.com out and let us know what you think!
The Giro d'Italia starts on Saturday and if recent editions are anything to go by, we're due for three weeks of stunning climbs, amazing sceneries and above all, great racing. Gino Di Blasio looked back at some of the incredible moments in the "Corsa Rosa" history at the time when Losing the Tour got you the Black Jersey and turned you into a legend!
Carol King interviewed the presenter of 'TV documentary The Mafia's Secret Bunkers': internationally recognised expert on the history of Italian organised crime, John Dickie.
Broadcast in Italy on the History Channel and in the UK on BBC, the documentary challenged various glamorised myths about the Italian mafias.
Nicola Ferlei Brown suggested a visit to the Maxxi: Italy's first National Museum of Architecture, and Rome's latest contemporary art gallery.
Finally, do not miss our guide to What's On in Italy this summer from art shows and sports tournaments to festivals and concerts.
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 May page.
A presto!
ITALY team
