For years Lapressa.it has offered free and independent information to its readers without any kind of public contribution. Private advertising covers part of the costs, but it is not enough. For this reason we ask those who read us daily, and follow us, to give us, if they believe, a contribution based on their possibilities. Even a small support, multiplied by the tens of thousands of Modena and Emilia-Romagna people who read us daily, is fundamental.
