Traversara, #Italy
People are evacuated by Italian air force helicopters during #floods in the small village of Traversara. Two people are missing and about 1,000 have been evacuated from their homes after devastating floods and landslides hit the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, prompting accusations that Giorgia Meloni’s far-right government lacks the will to confront the climate crisis.

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.”

Alexander Stille offers a long read on Giorgia Meloni (Keir Starmer's new friend)... he asks:
'Is the real Giorgia Meloni a closet fascist or a conservative democrat? It may not matter. Meloni is, above all, a skilled & disciplined politician who has risen to power by staking out territory on the centre-right'.
For those in the centre & to the left, a competent & 'sensible' (closet far) right may be the real danger now & into the future.
The shapeshifter: who is the real Giorgia Meloni?
The long read: She’s been called a neo-fascist and a danger to Italy. But she has won over many heads of Europe, including the UK prime minister. Should we be worried?Alexander Stille (The Guardian)

St. Peter (Ravenna, Italy)
The church of San Vitale in Ravenna is a crowning jewel of early Christian art and architecture dating to the era of the emperor Justinian. Begun under the bishop Ecclesius in 526, it was completed under Bishop Maximian in 547.Flickr

Now when Mussolini's family says Georgia Meloni is too far to the right...that's gotta be saying something. Right?

Walk through the center of Assisi and you'll pass the remains of a Temple to Minerva built in the 1st cent BCE. Most of its facade is still intact. In the Middle Ages, it served as a tribunal and jail. It was later converted into a church: Santa Maria sopra ("above"!) Minerva

Santa Maria Sopra Minerva (Assisi, Italy)
As you stroll through Piazza del Comune in the center of Assisi you'll pass the remains of this Roman era temple! What is now currently the church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva was once a temple to the Roman goddess Minerva.Flickr
