What is Patreon & how does it work?

Patreon is a platform that allows you to give us a hand by pledging a monthly amount. We pay Patreon about 20% of our earnings in payment & platform fees. Patreon allows us to offer additional content in locked posts and attachments that can only be accessed and downloaded by patrons.

IMPORTANT! Taxes will be added to your pledge if you live in Europe or other countries that apply VAT.
You will be charged every month on the date of your subscription, and you can increase, decrease or cancel your pledge at any time.

Why support us on Patreon?

Making a pledge on Patreon is a great way to let us know that you enjoy the free content that we provide on this Website and on our YouTube channel.

Writing, filming, and editing our videos is very time-consuming, and we are investing most of our time and energy in this project. While most of our content is and will always remain freely available, we also want to provide additional tools for those who are really passionate about the Italian language & culture, and would like to delve deeper.

On this page you can find a list of the most significant exclusive content published on Patreon so far.
