Words cannot describe how impactful this man’s work is. But I wanna try, and I wanna make this thread in honor of him and to acknowledge what this man meant to so many (🧵)

I learnt to drive in Rome in a Fiat 500 with no power steering, I continue to drive manual in Rome - and I live to tell the tale, too. I deserve to feel smug. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
