“There are as many styles of beauty as there are visions of happiness.” (Stendhal, Love)
editor’s letter Dear Readers, It’s hot again here in Sicily, and La Plus Belle is coming back with a new, exciting issue, as well as many news! As some of you may have already noticed, our website has been renewed in graphics and layout, which is now clearer and more user-friendly, to improve your browsing experience across the sections. Finally, we activated our Store, here you can easily purchase a copy of your favorite issue, both in digital and in hardcopy version. As we announced earlier, the latter one will be printed by ourselves and shipped directly to you as of the next issue. So we can avoid relying on third parties for printing! In the next days, we’re going to enrich our website with contents, backstage videos, and photos. Furthermore, we will publish the best editorials (those which reached the highest ratings during the selection stage). Gradually, we’ll activate new sections, but we don’t want to spoil you anything right now! I’d like to invite you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with our latest news. If you wish to advertise your business or your brand in our magazine, contact us at advertising@laplusbelle.it and request a quote. That’s all. See you at the end of July with our next issue! Enjoy your reading! Gaetano Pavano
