[Italian translation follows]
Quote for the century [the day, the week, the month, the year, even the decade, were all too short of time spans for this quote]:*

“In my life, I have found two things of priceless worth—learning and loving. Nothing else—not fame, not power, not achievement for its own sake—can possibly have the same lasting value. For when your life is over, if you can say ‘I have learned’ and ‘I have loved,’ you will also be able to say, ‘I have been happy.’”

Clarke, Arthur C., and Gentry Lee, 𝑅𝑎𝑚𝑎 𝐼𝐼, Gollancz, 1989.

* [Why post this quote on 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘: 𝐼𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟 𝐴𝑟𝑖𝑧𝑜𝑛𝑎? Because I believe that what is now the country of Italy has been throughout the centuries a prime example of a culture that values learning and loving.]

In formatting this post, I finally researched (and learned) how to use italics in a Facebook post, so I am happy. 𝑆𝑒𝑒 https://yaytext.com/bold-italic/.
______________________________________
Citazione per il secolo [il giorno, la settimana, il mese, l'anno, anche il decennio, erano tutti periodi di tempo troppo brevi per questa citazione]:*

“Nella mia vita ho trovato due cose di inestimabile valore: imparare e amare. Nient’altro – né la fama, né il potere, né il successo fine a se stesso – può avere lo stesso valore duraturo. Perché quando la tua vita sarà finita, se potrai dire “ho imparato” e “ho amato”, potrai anche dire, “sono stato felice”».

Clarke, Arthur C., e Gentry Lee, 𝑅𝑎𝑚𝑎 𝐼𝐼, Gollancz, 1989.

* [Perché pubblicare questa citazione su 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘: 𝐼𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟 𝐴𝑟𝑖𝑧𝑜 𝑛𝑎? Perché credo che quella che oggi è la Repubblica Italiana sia stata nel corso dei secoli un ottimo esempio di una cultura che valorizza l'apprendimento e l'amore.]
Nella formattazione di questo post, ho finalmente studiato (e imparato) come utilizzare il corsivo [italics] in un post di Facebook, quindi io sono felice. 𝑉𝑒𝑑𝑖 https://yaytext.com/bold-italic/.

On August 24th, 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted, devastating the nearby settlements, including Pompeii and Herculaneum. Although Vesuvius had erupted many times before, none were as deadly or destructive. 🌋

In the days leading up to the eruption, small earthquakes shook the region. Then, around 1 PM on August 24th, the volcano violently erupted. Over the next two days, Vesuvius unleashed 21-mile-high clouds of deadly gases, molten rock, pulverized pumice, and hot ash, releasing over 100,000 times more thermal energy than the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This catastrophic event obliterated the populations of Pompeii and Herculaneum, leaving a lasting mark on history.

If looks as if I missed National Proseco Day, which was August 13. Not too worry, I'll just make sure I calendar it for next year.
Plus, I'll just start preparing for National Espresso Martini Day, which is celebrated annually on March 15th. This day is dedicated to the popular coffee-flavored martini cocktail, which is made with caffeinated vodka. Some ways to celebrate include enjoying a classic espresso martini or trying a new variation. (Had a good one, well, maybe two good ones at the Biltmore last year.

Happy National Prosecco Day!

Celebrate this sparkling day and get a sneak peek of the bubbly fun waiting for you at our Taste of Italy event on September 28th.

Let’s pop the cork and have some fun! 🍾🎊

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Michael Monge. 😔🙏

He was a remarkable entertainer who brought joy to many, and his presence will be greatly missed at the San Gennaro Feast. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. RIP Michael Monge

Today marks the beginning of the Palio di Siena, a centuries-old horse race in Piazza del Campo in Tuscany. This historic event takes place twice a year, on July 2 and August 16, as a competition between Siena’s various districts, or “contrades.” 🏇

Central to the tradition is the display of each contrada’s insignia and ceremonies conducted in medieval dress, such as the blessing of the horse. Known for its intensity, the competition brings the community together and offers an eye-catching spectacle.

Last night, August 10 is officially known in Italy as la Notte di San Lorenzo or the Night of the Shooting Stars. This is because, apparently, if there are clear skies, one can see many shooting stars. Everyone in Italy looks to the sky on this evening to make a wish on a shooting star. I have been told that they are also out on August 11. Last night was cloudy where I am so I saw no stars. Maybe tonight.

There is also a very famous movie called the Night of the Shooting Stars by the Taviani Brothers, with music written by Nicola Piavoni.

Nicola Piovani - La notte di San Lorenzo (Titoli di testa)

11/08/2024

Aug. 10: The Night of the Shooting Stars (UK: The Night of San Lorenzo, Italian: La Notte di San Lorenzo) is a 1982 Italian fantasy war drama film directed by Paolo Taviani and Vittorio Taviani. It was written by Giuliani G. De Negri, Paolo Taviani, Tonino Guerra, and Vittorio Taviani.[1] It was entered into the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Jury Special Grand Prix.[2] The film was selected by Italy as its entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 55th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[3]
