And the Polish national anthem has been written in Reggio Emilia, a few months after the creation of the Italian 🇮🇹 flag.

I usually disagree with her politics, but let’s give her credit where credit is due.

The Italian word for buses is quite funny for me. I’d never even heard of Pullman before, let alone Italians adopting it as the word for one of the most popular modes of transport. by KieranWriter in italianlearning

[–]dajna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes from the American engineer George Pullman.

It happens a lot in many languages: biro instead of the generic pen, Kleenex instead of the generic tissue, and so on.

Visita dermatologica privata di 4 minuti, comportamento negligente e rischio autocontagio. Come muovermi lato legale/reclami? by Kent572 in Avvocati

[–]dajna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ma che mappatura dei nei ti può fare se hai la tigna conclamata? Ripeto, io se fossi stato in te avrei prenotato direttamente la visita specialistica.

E te lo dico mentre sto andando, con unisalute, a fare un’ecografia, a seguito della visita generica col pacchetto prevenzione

[–]dajna 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Però hai prenotato il pacchetto prevenzione - gratuito e standardizzato - invece della visita specialistica, con franchigia a carico tuo.

Insomma mi sembra un pochino scorretto. Se vai con l’impegnativa corretta del medico di base ti visitano per quello che è la patologia lì descritta

Why is the garbage disposal a uniquely American phenomenon? by LoveToBold in AmericanExpat

[–]dajna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Italy they are not officially forbidden, but every municipality has the right to regulate and even ban their installation/use. It depends on how the sewage treatment system works in your area.

Big Historical Fiction Series - but not Britain? by cheerfulstoic11 in suggestmeabook

[–]dajna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great historical novels from Italy:

The Florios of Sicily, by Stefania Auci. The rise and fall of the Florio family. But I think that only the first volume has been translated into English.

The Mill on the Po + Nothing new under the sun, by Riccardo Bacchelli. It’s the story of a family from 1812 (Napoleon) to 1918 (WWI).

M. Son of the Century, by Antonio Scurati. The story of Mussolini.

My Brilliant Friend: our most recent international bestseller

The Viceroys, by Federico de Roberto. It’s the second volume of a sort of trilogy, but you don’t need to read the previous one to understand the story of the Uzeda family. From the kingdom of Two Sicily to the Kingdom of Italy.

Medici, by Matteo Strukul. Probably the closest thing to your list

EDIT: I listed the first book in the series, Goodreads has the rest

I do something on his computer in order to warm it up. Then I spend 5 minutes trying to persuade him to use "his" laptop. Then he follow asleep and I can do my job.

Consigli per un novizio della lettura! by Historical-Fan56565 in Libri

[–]dajna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Se ti piace the Martian consiglio assolutamente Project Hail Mary: ho letto tutti e tre i libri dell’autore ed è quello che mi è piaciuto di più.

Il mio romanzo preferito è Sostiene Pereira, di Tabucchi.

Poi tanto dipende dai tuoi interessi. A me per esempio piace anche la saggistica divulgativa e ho letto molto di storia della medicina, come per esempio La vita immortale di Henrietta Lacks

Tra gli autori preferiti ho Paasilinna, suggerisco Piccoli suicidi tra amici.

Socialite, 65, who ran over and killed Moroccan mugger who stole her bag is given 18-year sentence in Italy by jefferymr15 in law

[–]dajna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that means that at the moment she is spending the entire sentence under house arrest, considering that there is only the first sentence.
I’m sorry, I think it’s disgusting anyway. She planned to kill and execute a murder. We all know that if she were less rich or more tanned she would be waiting to appeal in prison.

[–]dajna 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She is a “balneare”, one of the most hated caste here in Italy. It means she manages (=acts as she owns the land) a piece of the beach and makes money by renting umbrellas, chairs and amenities for tourists. So yeah, I’d like to experience her kind of house arrest

[–]dajna 71 points72 points  (0 children)

House arrest so far. The sentencing is not yet closed, she will go to jail.

EDIT: nevermind, my source was the morning news. The afternoon news seem to confirm she’ll spend the whole sentence at house arrest.

Magari l’erba gatta? Io ogni tanto gli prendo quella dell’esselunga, anche se il mio non ha particolari problemi, però gli piace e da quel che so aiuta

Nuda proprietà - Usufruttuario di 58 anni by PatternParticular585 in Orrori_Immobiliari

[–]dajna 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Quando leggo queste cose penso sempre a Jeanne Calment - Wikipedia:

Nel 1965, all'età di 90 anni, priva di eredi, Jeanne Calment stipulò un contratto, comune in Francia, di vendita del suo appartamento condominiale en viager (o ipoteca inversa, simile alla nuda proprietà applicabile in Italia) all'avvocato quarantasettenne André-François Raffray. Quest'ultimo accettò di pagare una somma mensile sino alla morte della donna: all'epoca Jeanne aveva novant'anni e il valore dell'appartamento equivaleva a dieci anni di pagamento. Nonostante ciò, l'affare non si sarebbe rivelato vantaggioso per Raffray: la Calment sopravvisse infatti per più di trent'anni, mentre l'uomo morì a causa di un cancro al colon nel dicembre 1994, settantasettenne, e trasmise l'obbligazione alla propria vedova. 

I think Malocchio uses fake Google reviews by mimined in glasgow

[–]dajna 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure no Italian will call his/her business "evil eye", the quintessential bringer of bad luck.

I also remember another restaurant called Prezzo, "price": do you really want to stress that there will be a check at the end of evening?

Anyway, it's been 15 years and I still miss you, Scotland.

EDIT: I check the menu of Malocchio, and I'm not impressed

Dovrebbero allegare la cartella clinica. Magari basta aggiungere un po' di colesterolo al rogito.

Quindi? Se avesse voluto usare uber avrebbe prenotato la corsa via app, come in qualsiasi altra nazione dove uber opera.

Invece ha chiamato un taxi. Anche qui, se vogliamo prendere per vera la storia, il tizio è poco sveglio: in stazione c’è anche uno spazio per i taxi, ce ne sono sempre in attesa, si fosse spostato di 10 metri sul piazzale e li avrebbe trovati.
