It contains material providing insights into how #fascist ideology shaped the cultural climate in #Italy during the 1920s and 1930s.

The Land Where Lemons Grow (Helena Attlee)
The author travels across Italy, exploring the history of various citrus fruits. I never knew citrus could be such a fascinating topic, but the book was an amazing read. From the connections of lemons to the Sicilian mafia, through the orange-throwing carnival of Ivrea, all the way to Renaissance hybrid citrus collections. 🍋 🍊

"It's My Life" is a song by the English #newWave band #TalkTalk. Written by #MarkHollis and #TimFrieseGreene, it was the title track on the band's second album, #ItsMyLife (1984), and released as its first single in January 1984. It reached number 46 on the #UKSinglesChart, but did better in several other countries, reaching number 33 in #Germany, number 32 in #NewZealand, number 25 in #France and number 9 in #Italy. In North America.

Seeing #Italy scoreless going out of the competition against #Switzerland maybe helps make #Scotland's score draw seem a bit better than it did at the time. Thank you #Switzerland 🇨🇭 👏

Meet the river #crabs that live beneath Rome’s ancient ruins https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/river-crab-ancient-rome
"During excavations of Trajan’s Forum in central #Rome in 2005, archaeologists found an ancient sewer drain that contained a marble bust of Constantine and a population of #RiverCrabs... these crustaceans are the only large freshwater crabs indigenous to #Italy. Researchers suspect that the population’s heritage is ancient, dating back to when Rome wasn’t much more than a marshy valley."
It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
"But dainty #Bacchus does not blush to sprinkle with perfume his flowing locks, nor in his soft hand to brandish the slender thrysus, when with mincing gait he trails his robe gay with barbaric gold."
Seneca, Hercules Furens 472

Interesting sign with some old-style letterforms. I especially like the capital P and the lower case script r's which look like little 7s.
