I've posted about this newsletter before, in the old forum, but thought I would remind those with an interest in S Marche of its continued existence.  It has now been going for a year, and a celebratory gathering is suggested in the latest edition.  

It always has interesting articles which go way beyond the "aren't Italians wonderful" surface and manage to give a pretty good rundown on all the events in the area.

You can subscribe (it's free) by writing to duncan@maceratamonthly.com.  Same address for info about the first anniversary gathering
