An unlucky child born with a heart condition 17,000 years ago also had the earliest known instance of blue eyes. Based on genetic data from his remains, found in what's now Italy, "the infant most likely had blue eyes, dark skin, and curly dark brown/almost black hair," University of Bologna archeologist Owen Higgins and team write in their paper.

Elon Musk was on hand to award fascist Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni an award from the Atlantic Council last night.

He said she was “someone who is even more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside.”

Now when Mussolini's family says Georgia Meloni is too far to the right...that's gotta be saying something. Right?

Italy’s far-right party proposed using AI to assign youth mandatory jobs.

“The young person will no longer be able to choose whether to work or not, but [will be] bound to accept the job offer for himself (sic), for his family and for the country, under penalty of loss of all benefits.”

Italian singer Ghali said "Stop the Genocide" during a music festival seen by over 13 mil people.

The Israeli ambassador complained about his "shameful message of hate" and that Ghali "should not have used the stage to say such 'provocative' things."

Ghali's response was clear: "What the ambassador said is awful. He's adding to the politics of terror where Italians are afraid they might lose their jobs, their reputations if they say 'Long Live Peace," which is absurd."

Winter, cold, fog.
But the light already gives us a faint and distant prelude of spring.

Evening is descending upon Mantova, Italy.
Like every day for the past 2000 years, the city is preparing to slumber.
The last rays of the sun are casting their final glow upon the tranquil waters, which flow with a soothing, melodic murmur.

And I ponder how many things, people, and events those waters have mirrored. A new morning will arrive, bathing those ancient bricks in fresh light, just as it has for the last 2000 years.

It's Friday. The perfect day to show some Windows.

Acqua. Terra. Aria.

In the gentle embrace of twilight, nature orchestrates a symphony of elements.
Water, still as glass, mirrors the fiery kiss of the setting sun, cradling the reflection of
Earth's slumbering giants, the trees stripped of their verdant glory.
Air, the unseen maestro, whispers through the branches, composing a silent lullaby that speaks of the day's end. Like a moment suspended in time, a tender pause between the rush of days, reminding us of the quiet majesty that cradles our bustling lives.
