"American Girl in Italy" (1951) is one of the most iconic photos of all time.
It tells a powerful story and raises big questions: is it a staged scene? were these men harassing the girl?
I'm going to tell you the true story behind this photo 🧵👇
Mi chiamo Luigi Corsi, maggiore commendatore, specializzato in opere di artiglieria per la Regia Marina Borbonica.
Vedo che non mi avete dedicato nemmeno una pagina su Wikipedia.
Sinceramente la cosa non mi stupisce.
Eppure sono tante le onorificenze ricevute.
Prof Graziosi e Federico sulla storia recente dell'Ucraina e cause di "divergenza" dei due mondi RU/UKR - Una volta tanto una lezione da un vero studioso di livello mondiale. Qui un estratto per me emblematico, link al video completo:

@mentecritica Senza aspettare i filmati dei satelliti, che magari gli USA non diffonderanno per non divulgare appieno risoluzione dei medesimi ed altri tipi di segreti, potrebbe essere utile questa verifica, e la potrebbe fare qualunque agenzia d'informazione.

Ukrainian refugee kids arrive in Italy, and start at local schools. On their first day they enter nervously. You won’t believe what the Italian kids did next …
Just watched Russia’s main political talk show with notorious propagandist Soloviev (Mar 9). Couldn’t believe my ears. Two hardcore pro-Putin guests - Shaknazarov and Bagdasarov - acknowledged the impact of sanctions, military failures, and called for an end to the invasion.
@hackingbutlegal @ItsTheEnvironm1 For those calling this staged propaganda, please watch this 21:25 version where the two younger POWs also speak. Are these the 3 best actors in Ukraine, or are we witnessing the genuine dismay, guilt, humiliation, and heartbreak of Russian soldiers? https://t.co/FhGDiyqpiM
Hopefully, it is now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones.
This is *critical* to national and international security.
This bronze relief of a Nereid (or perhaps the Oscan goddess Mefitis) riding a dolphin from the sanctuary of Mefitis at Rossano di Vaglio is from 4th c BCE. I can’t get enough of sacred woods and liminal springs.
