Propaganda in support of the authors is accepted, you can write it both in the tag if reblog the poll (explaining maybe that is propaganda and you want to see posted) or in the comments. Every few days it will be recollected and posted here under the cut.

" La prima volta che ti ho visto, d'istinto ho pensato e mo' questo che vuole? È stato un pensiero irrefrenabile, un getto d'acqua nell'arida pianura di quella stagione estiva. Eri una presenza stonata, perché non c'era bisogno di uno come te. Poi ti sei girato, hai sorriso - un sorriso aperto, bonario, anche un po' distratto dalle cose terrene - e hai detto «Ah! Tu sei Nicoletta». Non hai detto «Devi essere» hai detto «Tu sei» come se mi stessi creando in quell'istante, senza esitazione, con la magia delle parole. Succede nella Bibbia, succede nel Corano, succede nei momenti sacri e profani, succede a chi di mestiere crea mondi con le parole. Perché, come recita un proverbio Hopi: "Chi racconta le storie governa il mondo". Sinceramente, quell'estate in cui ci siamo conosciuti, non ero capace di raccontare niente, non sapevo più chi ero: la vita mi scuoiava, mi privava bruscamente degli appoggi, vivevo in un soffio pronto a spegnersi o a infuriare. Come i personaggi di un racconto di Horacio Quiroga avevo perso i venti e l'età, la schiuma dei giorni, la luccicanza. "

Sunglasses made of Murano glass, 18th-century AD, Venice, Italy.

Long before the rest of the world would discover the danger of ultra-violet rays in 1870, Venetian opticians were 120 years ahead of the curve.

The green colour of the lenses, conjured by the island's glassmakers in the bright hues of grass green, sea green and emerald green, wasn't simply a fashion statement but had a key functional role.

It has been later discovered that this colour serves as a powerful filter for UV rays, which are damaging to eye and skin health.

Thanks to Murano Glass, it became a true innovative jewel.

These emerald-colored sunglasses protected the eyes of the nobility and Commanders da Mar (of the sea) from the harmful glare of reflected light as they navigated the waters that surrounded them.

These sunglasses soon became widespread among Venetian high society.

One was almost certainly owned and used by Doge Alvise IV Giovanni Mocenigo (19 May 1701 - 31 December 1778), who was the leader of Venice from 1763 AD until his death on New Year's Eve, 31 December 1778 AD.

No one knows for sure why they were called "Goldoni" glasses, but it is assumed this was due to Carlo Goldoni (25 February 1707 – 6 February 1793), the famous Venetian playwright and librettist from the Republic of Venice.
