@bigg_matthew @nypost Gemelli Hospital is a top hospital. Moreover, it is a hospital linked to the Holy See where the Pope has an exclusive floor for himself that is always available. Pope John Paul II called it “Vatican III.”

@Jeandbol @Carlo314159 Il personale e i dirigenti della Pubblica Amministrazione erano sempre gli stessi. Il Governo italiano è un organo collegiale non monocratico. Il Pres. del consiglio ha pochi poteri rispetto al parlamento, agli altri ministri e anche al Pres. della Repubblica.

@Nemesis_46_ @Capit6n Estoy de acuerdo, pero para los italoamericanos se celebra el Columbus Day, es decir, el primer italiano en llegar a América, como pretexto para celebrar a todos los italianos que llegaron a América posteriormente. En Italia no es una fiesta.

[Peter Matthew @PetrusMatthaeus]

@Capit6n Se quiere celebrar al hombre Colombo, que de italiano “emigró” a España y a América con coraje. Como muchos pobres trabajadores italianos a finales del 800 - principios del 1900.

@joseletemuniz Italy has had clear borders since Roman times; even when divided into many states or at war, its people saw themselves (also) as Italian (see Petrarch, Machiavelli). It could have unified sooner, but the Pope held much of the land, he made no war and could not be attacked.

@Nemesis_46_ @Capit6n En realidad se celebra el esfuerzo y la intraprendenza de un genovés que se fue a España y luego a América (por lo tanto una especie de doble emigrante) y realizó una hazaña.

@Capit6n En realidad se celebra el esfuerzo y la intraprendenza de un genovés que se fue a España y luego a América (por lo tanto una especie de doble emigrante) y realizó una hazaña. Si no hubiera sido España, Colombo (no Colón o Columbus) habría ido a pedir a otra nación.

@pinealbrand So did they also fabricate Petrarch and Machiavelli?

[Peter Matthew @PetrusMatthaeus]

@thinkiamsad He could. But he never will; by now he is a head of state who himself embodies the executive, legislative and judicial power of a State and the spiritual leader of one and a half billion people. It’s as if the King of UK voted in the elections for the Mayor of London.

Reading about Hegel lately. Wild that it took European philosophy about 1600 years to catch up to Mahayana Buddhism.

@OrlandoNapoli22 Fun fact: in Italy, Zidane is admired and respected; he is considered a legend (not only by Juventus fans), perhaps the best midfielder of all time.

@vikare06 D'Annunzio only wrote the intertitles, and they used him to promote the film the way they do today with Stephen King etc. Pastrone was the director and he was truly at the forefront of cinema, even before Griffith.

@armanduplessis @Corriere Il centrosinsitra vincerà le elezioni ma non troverà accordo ne sul programma ne sul candidato e quindi Mattarella nominerà premier uno tra Gabrielli (o al viminale) e Ruffini (o al Mef). E poi, una volta fatto Draghi al quirinale nel 2029 cadrà il governo.

@Off_Ks_Soul @DavidAFrench Do you know that they’re not cheering for an American, but for a Vatican citizen? Or for the Bishop of Rome? They would cheer for him even if he were from North Korea.

@enniottefire Also, Ezra Pound was “Italian.”
