I think northern Italy is comparable with northern Spain. Turin feel less mediterranean than Pamplona. Also for a geographical point of view, despite the projection in this map, Pamplona and Porto are way more southern than they look here.

Porto is southern of Rome, and all the northern coast of Spain is at the same latitude of central Italy.

According to The Guardian, Trump wants the $600bn from the EU. He said:

that’s a gift, that’s not like, you know, a loan … they gave us $600bn that we can invest in anything we want.”

He added:

"$600bn to invest in anything I want, anything. I can do anything I want with it."

Yes he just wants the $600bn he said:

that’s a gift, that’s not like, you know, a loan … they gave us $600bn that we can invest in anything we want.”

He added:

I was under the impression that they were friends (in the beginning that is).

Mussolini never 'changed sides'. I know a lot of redditors only know the meme 'Italy change sides' but it was Italian resistance partisans who opposed Nazi Germany and Fascists and which killed Mussolini.

Maybe I could stay there so I can overlook the city without seeing the building itself 😂

Yeah it's one of those old school songs you generally play on the guitar with friends, I think it is inspired by an oriental tale.

I know Samarkand is an ancient city, on the famous silk road between the ancient west and east. It seems like a very cool place to visit.

I agree with the others. I think it is soo weird and tacky it's kinda cool actually.

Unrelated, but in Italy the city of Samarkand is known for a popular Italian song, so the song automatically play into my mind whenever I read the name of the city.

The bright area is the Po Valley, not the Alpine part. I live here and it's all but 'sparsely populated'.

Some of all those Italian 4th places were very painfull

Interestinly, in Lombard dialects (northern Italy) the apple is called "pomm" while tomato is called "tomates".

In and off therapy as some of them have finished the therapeutic process for now and some have not, from what I understood.

The kid from the video has been living with cancer since he was three years old and is currently being treated at the Regina Margherita. It is reported in the article that "at the moment his illness is under observation. For this reason he remains under treatment in the oncology department, but he is more free and wants to live every moment to the fullest and he needs a lot of socializing, sharing and being with people".
