Culture is a kind of exhibition of people's life. At the same time culture gives us peaceful mind, and sometimes vivid spirit.
Salone della Primavera is an online culture magazine on the WWW. So far we have aimed to publish the magazine per bi-monthly base. However, this time we have changed the way to publish articles whenever they are ready to be opend. Due to the time-cost of translation, number of English articles on the magazine is quite a few at present. However, we will continue to publish one by one as much as we can.
Also your correspondence or submitting your original articles or photos for the web-magazine are quite welcome to us.
