The Lakshmi Of Pompeii

All right, since nobody is reading this except me, I decided to use this Tumblr in the most random way ever:

I’ll go through the whole alphabet, choosing a food for every letter and writing facts, factoids and so on about it.

And I’ll do it simply ‘cause I can.

I’m ridiculously proud about this project, even if I’ll probably be the only person knowing about it.

P.S.: the food names will be in Italian, since I’m Italian XD (I’m writing in English to practise it)

I just finished a really sad book so I had to get the sadness out of my system.

I always wonder at what point international relations and personal relations come into play for the countries.

I take Hetalia way too seriously. 

A Bank? A Pub? The Irish Don't See The Difference

In 1970, the entire banking system in Ireland went on strike. But the country was not crippled. Pubs stepped up – after all, pub owners were very familiar with whether a patron could pay up or not. The strike ended six months later, and everything went on, the Irish economy basically unhurt.

I started binge watching cooking movies on Netflix and I think Francis as a scary, French trained chef trying to create a better kitchen environment from the one he was trained in but sometimes failing is a good daydream journey. Also I think angry chef Francis is scary enough to be intriguing. And that’s all my thoughts on that for now. 

Researchers are constantly iterating and expanding on ideas that came before, which is why replication and reproducibility are so important.

Do nothing in your life that will cause you to fear if it is discovered by your neighbor.

Leonardo Da Vinci May Have Drawn The First Landscape In European Art

On August 5th, 1473, in his notebook with pen and ink, Leonardo da Vinci tried to depict a panorama of the rocky hills and lush, green valley surrounding the Arno River near Vinci. The aerial view was nothing he could have seen naturally. It was rather a fantasy of what birds might see, flying overhead – but with some imaginative additions courtesy of Leonardo.

Other artists had drawn and painted landscapes as backdrops, but with the Arno River drawing, Leonardo was doing something different. He was drawing a landscape by itself, for its own beauty. This makes it a contender to be the first landscape in European art.
