A Bruxelles fanno le deviazioni per lavori per i piedoni...

Modern¹ Italy had two queens and a bit.

The third one was only queen for a few months and then we got rid of the whole thing.

The second one, Elena, whose husband was busy making sure that Italy would become a republic soon², devoted herself to charitable work. I don't think it makes her especially worth of merit, but if you are stuck as a woman born in a royal house in the 1800s and are a baseline good person, that's one of the things you do.

The first one, Margerita, was a reactionary asshole who encouraged the shooting of protestors and was an enthusiastic supporter of fascism.

Guess which one is being celebrated with a stamp this year?

¹ there was a kingdom of Italy in the middle ages, but that's a different matter
² this may have not been his aim

Ci tengo a segnalare che oggi #trenord ha annunciato *per tempo* che un treno già presente al binario sarebbe partito prima di quello in arrivo (in ritardo) ad un altro binario, nonostante l'orario dicesse il contrario.

Credo anche con abbastanza preavviso per prendere gli ascensori per il cambio binario!

Scommetto che sulla banchina della stazione era pieno di gente con i pop corn ad aspettare che il treno davanti partisse DOPO quello in arrivo.

@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua in realtà la banchina della stazione era piena di gente che aspettava l'altro treno ancora in direzione opposta, quindi non so se avessero i popcorn o meno :D

Meanwhile, reading¹ my Plinius the Younger, describing his uncle's books, as one does

“STUDIOSI TRES, in sex volumina propter amplitudinem divisi”

(about scholars, three books, divided in six volumes because of their size)

it's a shame the author of acoup.blog is no longer on the fediverse, because for some inexplicable reason.

¹ in an Italian translation, but in Italy they usually publish Latin authors in both languages)
