This year is almost over, it’s time for rankings. We asked Francesca Spiller from Reading Room to suggest the five best magazines released in 2019. A great idea for last-minute Christmas presents, but also something to read and browse through during these holidays and, why not, even in 2020.
You can find the magazines at Reading Room, via Mincio 10, Milan. Happy holidays!
