Buying Italian newspapers in England?

Where do you all buy your Gazzetto dello Sport from?

I have mine ordered from WH Smiths, or my dad will collect them from Italian friends in London when he goes to work.

Nothing beats picking up your copy in the moring then going to the towns coffee bar and sitting outside in the sunshine with friends at a table and drinking Lavazza and discussing Calcio!

I use to have a subscription to A Bola (the Portuguese Gazzeta dello Sport) but at the time (14 years ago) I used to receive it one or two days later than the date. Before the www was too popular this was fantastic.

I reckon if you try to get in touch with them (Gazzetta people) they might have printing facilities in the north of Europe and they might be able to have it deliver quicker?!?

You can always find an Italian owned cafe or restaurant, they might have the days edition available. I worked a few years back in an Italian restaurant and the owner always had the day's Gazetta and another italian newspaper. You just have to fight a few others to read it first.

Failing all that prob WH Smith or go to the internet and print all the pages, take it to the cafe, drink your coffee and read it.

If I wanted to buy it, there's a shop very close to where I live - altohugh i live very close to Covent Garden so its incredibly easy to get international papers

The only time i have been to Covent garden some guys paid me £10 to ask me 3 questions about science for a TV programme they were making. it only took about 3 mins.

Calcio Magazine - ok, but they could do SO MUCH MORE with it! By the time it arrives in the shop, the news is all old and there is nothing to be learned, the player features are usually all old interviews. Plus, they need to get some better columnists and writers like maybe a Brera-style columnist, that would be funny! And also get Gab Marcotti to contribute somethings.

Deano, how many issues have you got?

In Notting Hill they sell Gazzetta, Marca and allsorts of europeanbased papers.
