Double celebration: Portraits donation & 15th anniversary!

Below, the communication that I sent the 24th of December 2025 to all the generous and amazing  contributors of the 2023 Alan Moore: PORTRAITS of an extraordinary gentleman volume.

Project Alan Moore 70: update 15 DONATION DONE

Dear friend and contributor,

We are pleased to announce that we recently donated €1,000 to the Italian branch of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières. This is the result of the sale of roughly 300 copies of our Moore book - each copy generated approximately €3 in royalties. The donation was rounded up, excluding some additional expenses we incurred. 

You may see the attachments for details. In Italian, sorry. [Attachments not included in this post, sm]

We are aware that this result is far from what we expected, but it must be acknowledged that our book was a self-published initiative to which, for various and, I believe, easily understandable reasons, we were able to devote limited marketing and promotional efforts. Despite everything, we believe and hope that this small donation, like all donations, large or small, will be useful to the cause.

For this reason, we thank you again for your generous contribution. Grazie mille.

Over the next few weeks, the book will be removed from the store and will no longer be available. 

We take this opportunity to wish you Happy Holidays. 

We remain at your disposal.

Angelo & smoky man
So, we did it! I think the book should remain available for purchase until the end of January - mid February.
 
Furthermore, in this same day, 15 years ago I posted for the very first time on this blog! 
15 years are, well, like an entire eon in our digital reality. So... let's celebrate! 
We are in 2026 and... keep going! HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!

Just a number! [2]

Breaking news! The blog has recently surpassed the threshold of... 2 million visits
 
In February, we reached 1.5 million visits, meaning we've added half a million visits in just nine months! 
 
I'm not sure what happened, but in the last two or three months I'd already noticed that visits had increased compared to the usual, reaching an average of 100,000 per month: simply incredible!!! 
 
So... this is just a little celebration. 
See you here, alligators! (For as long as it lasts.)

Just a number!

It seems that, in recent days, the blog has exceeded the threshold of one and a half million visitors!!!
It's just a number and I've never paid attention to these kind or results (certainly it's not the purpose of this blog) but I think it's right, for a moment, to stop and celebrate.

I'm not sure how much longer I will update the blog but if the passion holds you will find me here for... Mo(o)re! 
 
Grazie a tutti!

N.1112: TOP5 POSTS of all time

This is the 1,112th post that I write for the blog. 
I've just found out we reached number 1,111 which is something that I like: (obviously) it's a palindrome and full of... number ones! And I suspect I'll hardly reach n. 11,111.
So, to celebrate this "milestone", here is the list of the blog's TOP5 posts, till now. 
It seems a nice recap, doesn't it?
Direct links, below. Enjoy! 
And thank you all for paying a visit here!
