A writer of the Then and the Now
Christopher P. Winner is an American journalist and editor based in Rome. He began his career in 1975 as sports editor of the now-defunct Rome Daily American and is currently the Editor and Publisher of The American, an English-language magazine focused on politics, culture, and international affairs.

Important note to readers
‘I grew up and worked in a generation before the advent of artificial intelligence. All my writing was generated by a sense of the times and the specific events that characterised those times. I regret the co-opting of creativity that A.I. now sadly represents.’ ~ Christopher P. Winner
