Not in Sanvito!! Not in Di Felice!!

All the issues are very large format (like a newspaper), and without stapling the sheets are loose in pairs forming a 4-page diptych.

It is a beautiful, original and unique Magazine, since it is not the typical Chess Magazine, because although it also has problems, news about Tournaments, etc. it also tried to reach the entire public, with hobbies, news, cultural initiatives, etc. And it is an especially rare Magazine, since in both the work of Sanvito (Italian specialist) and that of Di Felice it is completely missing.

Regarding whether the last issue was n.1 from 1994, or what happened to that lack of numbers after the double issue n.7/8 from 1993, I honestly cannot provide any proof, except for the testimony of my great friend Giuseppe Arabito. through the emails we exchanged and that I still have, but unfortunately COVID-19 managed to take away from us the beautiful person that Giuseppe was. If the last issue was really number 1 of 1994 (something curious and indicative is that it is the only issue in which the Month does not expressly appear), it can be assumed that there were already problems among the people who ran this Magazine, and perhaps this could explain why after the summer of 1993 no more numbers appeared immediately. Over the last few years I have tried everything possible to get the information. I came into contact through Facebook in 2017 with the two top managers of the magazine, Riccardo Gueci himself and Antonino (Nino) Profera. I got a response from Riccardo, but he couldn't confirm anything and he referred me to Antonino Profera, but I never got a response from him. And through the Internet I have done countless searches hoping to find the "Holy Grail" but I have had no luck. Therefore, at this point I have preferred to give full validity to the words of my dear Giuseppe, since he was a subscriber and collaborator. In fact, his name appears in the 1st-2nd line of Collaborators since N.2 of 1993.
