Revue shutting down 😤

Twitter has recently announced the shutdown of Revue, the platform I've been using for this newsletter. This will be the last issue on this - I'll migrate to something else (Substack? Tinyletter? GhostPro?). If you have any feedback/suggestions, they are more than welcome!

Giacomo Mollo and I comment on the latest news every week: subscribe to our podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcast, and other platforms to get additional insights on what is happening in the Italian ecosystem.
