Welcome to the Italy Community, it's a good thing to plan your future travel to Italy since now. are you going to attend an University course?  Why Florence? Have you already travelled there?

Dear Julie,  what happened to you and Tess is just great! I'm really sad that she felt uncomfortable here. Maybe I should have looked after this thread before she decided to give up with this community.  But I'm really happy about your friendship and yes, you said it right, you are all in the same boat and you all should help each other.  Hope Tess will return and share her experience of Italy with us.

When I first read "other forums" I thought of other web communities comparable to the Italy Magazine one.. I wouldn't call a "forum" a space on the internet which allows 12 (or something) people to chat about the same topic over and over.  Personally I don't feel threatened nor enthusiast about so much importance that somebody gives to Italy Magazine and its community..   On the contrary I'm really happy to see the community growing day by day and that is formed by real individuals who really care about all things Italian.

Hi all, just wanted to say Grazie to all members that support us.  I think that every forum has its atmosphere, its members, its topics and tools, that's for sure. This kind of sites (communities and forums) are meant to provide help and answers to its members and I really hope that Italy Magazine represents a great source of information for everyone who wants to learn more about Italian culture or is planning a trip in Italy or is even thinking about buying a house in Italy. Will try to do our best to let this Community grow. Grazie a tutti. Valentina

Hi Colonel, of course every community needs to progress and grow, but you should consider the fact that we are a relatively "young" community - we have just passed the first step: creating a new community and giving useful tools to let members express their love or experience of Italy (through photos, restaurant reviews, wiki pages, groups). Hopefully many people join everyday so I look at the future positively. We don't want to force things. We are happy about your suggestions and that you decided to share them with us. Maybe you could create a new group dedicated to funny things or something like that (always related to Italy).
