A special announcement

Every year on June 2nd, Italy celebrates the Festa della Repubblica commemorating the 1946 referendum that transformed Italy from a monarchy into a republic. Until then, the country was ruled by the Savoy dynasty, which reigned from the Royal Palace of Turin before Rome was made the capital in 1870. 

Following the end of the Second World War and the fall of Mussolini, a referendum was put to the Italian people in 1946. Fifty-four percent of Italians voted to oust the monarchy and transform Italy into a republic. In honor of that historic vote, I’m offering 54% off paid subscriptions to the New Roman Times for the next 48 hours!

Why pay?

A paid subscription gets you access to exclusive content, including my extremely popular curated lists of the best places to eat in Rome, the best bars in Rome, underrated museums in Rome, and my 72 Hours series of guides to popular destinations like Milan. Subscribe now to unlock these issues and receive future paywalled content, including an upcoming guide to 72 hours on the glamorous island of Capri.

Paid subscribers also get perks like exclusive discounts with my partners, including 10% off Scooteroma’s Vespa tours. Top tier subscribers who opt for a "Super Supporter” subscription get a free 40-minute consultation with me to help them plan a trip to Italy.

Perhaps most importantly, paid subscriptions help me keep this newsletter going and keep the majority of the issues available to everyone for free. 

You can use this discount to upgrade your own subscription, purchase a group subscription, or gift a subscription to someone. Just click the “Group” or “Gift” tabs to do so.

Happy reading and buona festa della Repubblica!
