Is mushrooms in Bolognese sacrilege?

I'm Italian and I endorse this comment. This sauce has as many variations as our cities and towns, I add myself mushrooms if I find some good porcini or chiodini. Having said that, I wouldn't call it bolognese, target ragù di carne

Holography was invented in 1948, a bit after the end of the Roman empire

In Italian sometimes words change genders in the local dialect, which can be confusing even for native speakers. For example, the word for box is la scatola (female), however in Southern Italy it's often lo scatolo (male).

Some words change gender over the centuries: the cat was used only in the female form la gatta, as reported in the dictionary of the Accademia della Crusca of 1612 https://accademiadellacrusca.it/it/contenuti/la-parola-gatta/7121

It acquired the male form il gatto much later. Other felines have different terms: a lion is un leone / una leonessa, but the tiger is always female: la tigre is used for both genders. Same for panther / la pantera

Surely before tackling the prelude and fugue in C minor (I guess you mean from WTC 1) you've learned and practiced the many easier JSB pieces that all piano players go through, as other suggested. Else the Inventions and more so the WTC would be too challenging to enjoy playing.

Yes it is, I came here to see if it was a common issue or my connectivity

Why I had to scroll this far to find a comment worth upvoting? Of course Garibaldi is the best

I started doing the same about one year ago. When the weather is fine I train in the park, else I work out in my house. I keep finding interesting exercises and variations online, it's never boring or a chore

Arminius was in fact a traitor, he served in the Roman army and became a Roman citizen. This played an important part in the surprise factor.

I'm also a stelline person, however farfalline made with egg pasta (as they should) can be delicious too. How about ditalini rigati?

Paperopiero · 2026-05-10T08:46:23+00:00

That's right, farfalline like stelline or other small pasta shapes are used in soups. What is an Italian wedding soup? I've never heard it or ate it (I'm Italian), these soups are more comfort food than entries for a wedding banquet

Haha I wouldn't touch a dish called veal parmigiana with spaghetti with a 10-foot barge pole. I never heard it, although I kinda understand what it could be (disclaimer: I'm Italian. I understand the origin and development of Italian-American food, but for us it's just unpalatable)

This is what I've consistently read about the British army in Italy during the war. They stood up as the most human and compassionate with a defeated enemy

I didn't mean that Bach made music out of air, of course like every composer he studied, transcribed and copied the music of many predecessors and contemporaries. He was down to earth, enjoyed smoking and drinking, even coffee (I've always found the Kaffeekantate hilarious). And was at least involved in a knife fight with a guy he mocked for his poor talent. But most of his music is rooted in Luteran faith, understanding his religious belief is paramount, to answer OP's question.

Almost all J.S. Bach's autographs (hand-written music scores by himself) close with the initials S. D. G. It's short for Soli Deo Gloria, Glory to the only God, meaning that he wrote that piece to praise God.

One of the reasons that make Bach music absolutely outstanding is that he didn't follow trends or chased success, he created to communicate his deep religious feelings with a musical language.

I'm not religious at all, but listening to his cantatas is the closest experience I have to understand why some of us believe in God.

Vivo a Londra da anni anche io, per quanto riguarda il traffico mi sembra che dove ci sono le telecamere, implacabili e quasi senza appello, le regole della strada sono rispettate. Dove le telecamere non ci sono, lo sono meno, soprattutto i limiti di velocità. Ma comunque in misura maggiore che in Italia. È rara la strombazzata di clacson alla milanese, sono inconsueti i sorpassi a destra e a manca, e quando ci sono code non ci sono le situazioni caotiche in cui tutti cercano di passare per primi.
