Amidst all the madness raging on both sides of the pond, there’s a beacon of hope coming from Italy: the “Sardines”, a mass movement of young people standing up to Salvini’s inflammatory populism. My latest piece on why we should take note here in Britain: https://t.co/quYPNuFLFM

whenever you tell someone at a party you’re a journalist and they clamor to clarify that they’re “off the record” it’s like. you just told me a story about your cat throwing up after eating funfetti cake batter. should we call the new york times? should we invite bella hadid ?

this piece, about Gen Z’s relationship to the culture of the past, is very good. Because algorithms & streaming give them access to so much culture from the past, but without context, it’s hard to build any real sense of chronology or being in time

@notshoreditch Hi Jessica, just sent you a pitch ([email protected]) about how having a chance encounter and aperitivo with a nun in Rome convinced me to move to the city

The #portico of the #Pantheon in #Rome, looking up in the central section. Of all the parts of this great building, the porch has perhaps undergone the most change over the centuries. A little #SpoliaSunday night thread. 🧵

Unpopular opinion: in the age of AI-powered, massified mediocrity, pursuing a PhD is actually a great idea.

OPINION: Italian cuisine certainly merits recognition. But it shouldn’t become an unwitting participant in an ideological agenda.

Perhaps it’s best if Giorgia Meloni's government kept politics off the dinner table.

OPINION: Last month, UNESCO designated Italian cuisine part of the world’s “intangible cultural heritage.”

But behind this evident soft power win also lies a political agenda.

“This is the first conclave to really play out on social media.”

There are “rumours” some cardinals have watched Conclave to figure out how the election process works, says Rome correspondent Andrea Martinez.

“It’s been a very different, more humble approach to his funeral compared to his predecessors."

Pope Francis will be laid to rest Saturday with a humble funeral attended by world leaders - including Trump and Zelensky - having chosen a simple casket and burial to reflect his legacy as the “people’s Pope”, says Rome journalist Andrea Carlo.

[Andrea Carlo @andcarlom]

Been covering the death of #PopeFrancis for @TimesRadio and @BBCRadioScot these past two days — a surreal moment to be in Rome. The mood is haunting and solemn in many ways, yet oddly serene — even quietly joyful. A true reflection of his legacy as a pope of and for the people.
