From Michael San Filippo, your Guide to Italian
Caro Lettore,

Welcome to this weekend's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! Skuola.net calls itself "il paradiso dello studente," and it just might be.

In the About.com Italian Language forums there's a discussion about contractions, and a community member wants to know if Italian sentences require a specific word order. Plus the thirty-third (and final) canto of Purgatorio in Dante's The Divine Comedy in both Italian and English, in which Dante drinks from the River Eunoe and prepares for his ascent to Heaven. Lastly, there are Italian abbreviations and acronyms beginning with the letter Q.
