Jingle bells, jingle bells… and what the heck am I going to put under the tree?! The Florentine Press to the rescue! Our holiday gift sets will be sure to satisfy every Italy lover and expat on your list.

Learn, laugh, and stay informed with the following awesome gift opportunities, all at discounted prices until December 31 2011.

A subscription to The Florentine is a perfect gift – it lasts all year and they’ll think of you every 2 weeks when they receive it. Paper mailings are still available for purchase on this site, but we’re offering some special deals on our PDF by email subscription. Why? Because starting on January 1 2012, the PDF of the newspaper will no longer be available for download from our website. If you want to read it in its beautiful graphic layout, and have full access to the events listings, classifieds, and all the articles, you’ll need to opt for a digital subscription. Until the end of 2011, the PDF subscription costs only 18 euro. Get one for you and one for a friend for only 32 euro. Or give someone a gift subscription along with a physical book, Linda Falcone’s Moving Days, for the very special price of only 25 euro (which is the regular subscription price plus one euro!).

For the women in your life: The Women artists’ gift set includes Jane Fortune’s beautiful book about discovering the many, hidden female artists in Florence museum archives. It’s bundled with our latest book, a kind of “supplement” of information about the 18th century Florentine artist Irene Parenti Duclos. Both books have English and Italian facing text. Priced at 28 euro it’s a perfect gift for an Italian woman or an English-speaker.

Anyone who loves the quirky nature of Italian culture loves Linda Falcone’s funny stories about life and language. If you don’t own them all already, get the Triple Linda Gift Set - all three of her books for the special price of 30 euros.
