Ciao from Rome to all the friends of We the Italians, and Happy Holidays!

While we are working on the 2019 yearbook that will be available very soon, we would be happy if the readers of We the Italians would choose our previous books as a Christmas present. That's why there's a new promotion, you can find them all discounted at $18: the one from 100 interviews until 2015 and the yearbooks of 2016, 2017 and 2018. We hope you'll choose us for your Christmas gifts.

Another Christmas opportunity is that given by our partnership with Magnifico Food: using the code WTI2019 you have a 10% discount on Italian food products that you will not find in the shops of your city. And one dollar for each product will be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which treats the Invisible Wounds of War: Post-Traumatic-Stress (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

We are also working to increase our numbers on social media. This month we have achieved two things: our LinkedIn group has reached 1,000 members, and our Instagram account has also reached 1,000 followers. We will try to accelerate in 2020, I recommend: if you have not yet done so, please join us and follow us. Our Twitter account is at 950 followers: can we soon reach 1,000 there too?WE would be happy if Things are going great here at We the Italians: another month full of wonderful things happened and news to be announced.

There is a great project for 2020 to which we are devoting time and energy. It is a contest that we hope will involve all our readers, with several prizes for those who want to subscribe - for free - to We the Italians and vote. We won't tell you more because it's a work in progress, but it will be exceptional!

We remind you that you can take advantage of a 5% discount on the services of our partner Italian Citizenship Assistance, reserved only for our readers, by writing an email to [email protected] and quoting the code ICAWTI.

Finally, the Italian proverb. This month the letter is “N” and the proverb of the month of November 2019 is: Nella felicità ragione; nell'infelicità pazienza ("If fortune favors, beware of being exalted; if fortune thunders, beware of being overwhelmed"). Be smart, follow the old Italian traditions and proverbs, they are always right!

That’s all for now. Once again, Happy Christmas and a happy new year from all of us on We the Italians. Stay tuned, fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride. The future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades!
