Where is the best place to catch up on the Italian QL scene? I can read Italian quite well, (but speak/write it poorly). It would be nice to find out what is going on over there.

Not sure whether this has been mentioned before (a quick search found nothing): I stumbled on this today, whilst looking for a CPC emulator for macOS with Apple Silicon.
