My friend Giovanni Luca is an American who's been learning the Italian language for some time. Because of his passion for the language, and his wanting to share this passion with others, he publishes each month a small newsletter of stories and articles written in Italian by students of the language. His newsletter is where I first found the courage to put something I had written for my Italian class out there for others to see. The older stories that I post on my Italian story blog -- www.ritrattiitaliani.blogspot.com -- were first written for this newsletter.


Anyone's welcome to submit anything they want to him (he'll keep that final authority though about what he publishes of course). Once monthly, or sometimes bi-monthly, he sends out his newsletter by e-mail. To receive Il Bollettino, Giovanni's newsletter, just send him a little mail saying you'd like to be added to the list. And then, if you are learning Italian, think about submitting something, it doesn't matter if it's long or short, it only matters that you have the opportunity to practice writing this bella lingua. Give it a try, ok? Perche no?
