How the Magazine Works
ABRUZZISSIMO Magazine – Created in Abruzzo with love and care, not algorithms
Each issue of the magazine is created from scratch — no AI, no big team. Just a few of us researching, interviewing real life people, writing, translating, photographing, and editing each piece. In each issue, you will find articles written by local historians, authors, guides, and other experts sharing their passion for the region.
To make it sustainable, we publish a mix of free and subscriber-only articles. The free version is available to everyone, and a premium subscription unlocks the full issue.
While the magazine is currently ad-free, we may occasionally accept sponsorships — always carefully chosen and clearly marked. We’ll never allow anything that doesn’t align with the values of the magazine.
If you’ve enjoyed the stories or learned something new, please consider purchasing a premium subscription. It truly helps keep the project going.
