I will never be over how Hannibal repurposed the “Monster of Florence” moniker when it’s literally the most famous Italian serial killer and every time he’s mentioned a very specific face will come up in any Italian’s mind and it didn’t look like Mads Mikkelsen’s

Valerio Minato's photo that won the Astronomy Picture of the Day Contest by NASA on December 25th, 2023.

In the picture: the moon, the Monviso Mount and the Basilica of Superga (on the Superga hill) outside Turin are all aligned. it took him 6 years to take this shot (and I take it as an example to never give up on your dreams).

What do you mean Succession doesn't have a fifth season it's airing in Italy right now

Years ago when my dad and my aunt tried to apply for Italian citizenship, they were rejected because my trisnonno only had registered his marriage at the church and not at the Civil Registry Office, and his son didn't have a birth certificate, only a baptism certificate. All of those documents were rejected.

Nowadays Italy seems to be accepting religious documents though, so the process might be easier than we thought it would be 🤫
