Getting on Metro number 3 to head for the office of Italian street magazine, Terre di Mezzo. Though couldn’t have got an appointment before the trip, I happened to come across an editorial staff, Andrea, in front of the gate.
According to him, Terre di Mezzo got launched in 1994 by four journalists and social workers here in Milan. The eighty current vendors are mostly migrants from Senegal.
The year 2006 was the toughest year for this ltalian magazine, because of the rise of free magazines. The renewal of the design and format in 2008, however, made the sales grow and they are celebrating 17th anniversary this year.
