Ilfattoquotidiano.it support: never like now
we need you.
In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our work with conscience,
We do a public service. That is why we are also proud every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it
offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive ideas,
expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more. All this work, however, has a great economic cost.
Advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited income.
It is not in line with the access boom. So I ask those who read these lines to support us.
To give us a minimum contribution, equal to the price of a cappuccino per week,
fundamental to our work.
