Come ex-allievo della Scuola Normale esprimo sconcerto e sdegno nel leggere richieste surreali e frasi del tipo "Tuttavia, è necessario storicizzare le cause strutturali dell'attacco di Hamas" La mia Alma Mater non si merita tutto questo

Many have correctly remarked that this is an updated version of Nazi and Stalinist antisemitic canards. But its origins go even further back in time—all the way to slanderous accusations against Jewish doctors in medieval Iberia. Sad to see old antisemitic tropes reappear.

If we held a minutes of silence for every victim of the Holocaust, we’d be silent for 11 years. 💔 #HolocaustRememberanceDay

Western politicians prefer opposition fighters to be martyrs. They can leave flowers & say nice words while negotiating with the murderer, unchallenged in their hypocrisy. Navalny was a fighter, & unless they're going to fight they should keep his name out of their mouths today.

Condivido questa immagine di Vittorio Bachelet, giurista, accademico e vicepresidente del CSM. Nel 1980 fu assassinato dalle Brigate Rosse in un agguato alla Sapienza. Fu anche presidente dell'Azione Cattolica italiana, lasciando un'impronta profonda. Così, per ricordare.

I fell in love with Beethoven and Chopin while listening to his recordings, and was lucky enough to see him perform a few times. Grazie, maestro

We closes with Glauco Schettini's translation of Abbé Grégoire's "Ruins of Port-Royal" (1809). As an ideal & tradition, Port-Royal “will again edify future generations, who will say w/ the Psalmist, these are things that we have heard & known, things our ancestors have told us."
