“Beauty is a sign of intelligence.” (Andy Warhol)
editor’s letter Dear Readers, As promised, here’s the new Issue of La Plus Belle, ISSUE TWO, to keep you company throughout your Summer Vacation! As you can see inside the Magazine, most of our published Editorials are related to Summer! However, many others, all wonderful, span from Beauty to Portrait, up to Nude Art. Eighteen excellent works (this time we really did a big job!) that you can enjoy during your Summer days, perhaps in total relax at the beach. Our next appointment is for the second half of September, with a brand new, amazing Issue of La Plus Belle. As usual, I’d like to remember that all information about contributing to our Magazine can be found at our website www.laplusbelle.it For your Ads on this Magazine, please contact us at advertising@laplusbelle.it Please, follow us also on Facebook and Instagram to keep up-to-date about what we’re doing. That’s all! Enjoy your reading Gaetano Pavano
