Communes Of Italy is Italian Genealogy, culture and all things Italian. It was published bi-monthly between 1998 and 2010. Each issue includes detailed information about a featured province and once each year an Annual Surname List is included. All 76 issues are available and some may be purchased. A great resource for beginning and advanced genealogists as well as those interested in an in-depth look at a particular province or area.
