La Gazzetta - Favorites
/First, we should apologize for the terrible search function we were using to find past editions of this newsletter, which we started in March 2019. We are slaves to technology. Sometimes it improves our lives and sometimes it can be sooooo frustrating. However, we are happy to announce that you can now search past issues by topic. Click on this link to check out a subject that might interest you.
We have made it easy for you to read some of the earlier La Gazzetta newsletters that were Jeff’s favorites or those that received a lot of comments. Some cover Italian cooking, some cover Italian wines and some cover Italian travel.
