Once you've registered on the new website, you will receive your own profile where you can share some information about yourself with other members and much more.  Your profile includes features such as your own blog, where you can relate your passion for Italy and Italian culture or share your thoughts on issues important to you.  The blog feature allows you to insert videos and "tag" your blog so that other members can search the entire website for keywords about things that interest them that you may have shared.  You will also be able to upload your photos into photo albums that you create to store photos and share with other members.

But, it doesn't stop there...

As a Modern Italian Member, you can join the many microsites we have created about Italian culture and subscribe to blogs posted by other Modern Italian members, like our friend Ashley.  You can also contribute to these microsites but commenting on their blogs, uploading your photos to the photo albums, and downloading relevant documents.  In fact, you are also welcome to your own private Family microsite to share with your family and friends.  This is a great way to share your life with your family members via the internet and a useful way to create a repository of past and current memories and photos.

If you are lookng to meet other members with similar interests, the Modern Italian Search feature allows you to search for other members and then message them through the messaging service that accompanies every Modern Italian profile.

These are just some of the features that we are developing to assist you share, learn, and benefit from your passion for Italy and Italian culture and we hope that you will use them to your benefit.  So, please, visit your new Modern Italian Network and participate in a growing social network of people passionate about Italy.
