After three highly successful editions, Passione Amiga Day is back again this yearwhich has now become a must-see for lovers of the old 16-bit system from Commodore, which was all the rage from the second half of the 80s until the parent company went bankrupt in 1994.
Despite the years that have passed, the Italian community of Amiga supporters is still large and this year too it will meet in Spoleto on September 15th, to buy new material from commercial exhibitors, to participate in the second-hand market, to follow the scheduled conferences and to meet the Italian and international guests, who as always will not be missing.
