Looking for reading material in italian?
Ces asked:
Hi! I’m studying italian, and could do with some advice and help to find material suitable for reading for someone who can understand about 60%. I’m just starting to study but, for some reason, I can understand most of what I read (i’ve even tried newspapers and Wikipedia). That’s, perhaps, because spanish is my first language, or because I spent many evenings during my teen age listening to a “think italian, speak italian” course on tape… can’t really tell. Anyway, now I would like to find over the Internet, or to have suggestions of books, texts, anything I could find in Italian that is suitable for beginners. Any suggestions?
The thing is I know the easiest is to look for children’s stories, (I did a huge improvement in english reading that sort of material, so I know that approach works), but I’m not sure exactly what I’m looking for and where to find it…

Spanish an Italian are very similar languages. I would suggest trying to find children’s stories written in Italian.

Hi! I’m Italian… about children’s stories, I would suggest you Bianca Pitzorno’s novels. She was my favourite writer when I was a child, because the stories were really exciting and magic… my mother often read them and she liked them a lot too. So I think they’re not childish and boring for adults. And they’re written in a “simple” Italian
