In the silence of Sunday, nature reclaims its spaces, free to express itself as the rituals of other species unfold far from human noise.

So now that I have a database of 60+ women who have written about visiting Rome between the 15th century and the 1960s... should this be a book? I would love to make this a book.

This window was my view from the room where I worked in the 'old' house, from 2008 to 2015.
Many of the projects I have up and running today were conceived, studied, implemented, and understood from that room, gazing out of that window. It offered me peace, relaxation, and focus, with its bucolic, green backdrop, connecting me with nature and a slower pace of life.

When is fascism to strong for a fascist, when it is Mussolini's granddaughter, who has quit Giorgia Meloni's fascist Brother of Italy party, because she says "It is too too right wing!"

Elon Musk was on hand to award fascist Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni an award from the Atlantic Council last night.
He said she was “someone who is even more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside.”
"‘Precious genius’ Elon Musk love-bombs ‘beautiful’ Giorgia Meloni at think tank awards"
"On Monday night, the prestigious think tank gave Meloni a Global Citizens Award at a black-tie affair that has become a centerpiece of the United Nations General Assembly's annual gathering of world leaders."
