I started working “in” the Internet in 1997… and VeniceWord was born in 2000. This blog is up since 2007 though quite discontinously - before the facebook and Twitter era.

While being refreshed with new content and info - with the promise of more frequent updates! - it is now again available for you to comment our weekly BUONGIORNO VENEZIA newsletter. This was its original purpose before being overwhelmed with sp.m messages…. So please: no ads, no shameless self-promotion, or your post will dive into the trash folder. Only approved comments will be published.

I deleted most previous posts (and comments, sorry), to make new room for new ideas. I am keeping just some, to mark a little history…

Thank you to all who contributed and will contribute!
And btw way we are obviously also on Facebook and Twitter!

Many loyal subscribers have told us over the years that they save their Buongiorno Venezia newsletters for future reference. We are curious: who among you has saved the most? Count the issues and let us know via our good old contact form http://www.veniceword.com/form2.html We’ll ask the winner to submit proof before awarding them one night in Venice for two :-). [Our English-language editor at Wordsworth & Company has graciously withdrawn from competition, since he has kept a copy of every newsletter since May 2003. I wonder how he can sleep at night ]
