Here's what our friends at the Cleveland Museum of Art write about these four 17th-century paintings entitled "Scenes of Witchcraft" by Salvator Rosa:

A huge upturn in interest in witchcraft emerged during the 1500s in Europe, but by the middle of the next century - at least among the cultured elite of Florence - a backlash arose against the many accusations of sorcery. Artists and writers explored the topic more out of curiosity and amusement, chief among them the poet, painter, and satirist Salvator Rosa, who examined witchcraft with gusto in numerous poems and works of art, including these four paintings. They show a range witch types - from the beautiful enchantress to the old crone to the male sorcerer - and represent activities commonly associated with black magic - levitation, love potions, devil worship, the invocation of demons, and transformation.

If you think that's awesome, you should browse the museum's collection in JSTOR—lots of great art from a wide variety of cultures and eras, and it's open and free for everyone to view and download!

Oh, it says here that apparently Sonetto's udimo is a Sicilian Greyhound.

#sonetto #reverse 1999 #certified storm moments #i ate through that entire thread it was a nice insight to the people in there #voyager being there and her udimo being labeled as '???' got a laugh out of me ngl #at some point when i was researching for fic purposes i thought she was a pharaoh hound but now this breed makes much more sense #since it's. italian and all of that #and of course tooth fairy's an egyptian plover. of course a dentist like her would be a bird well known to clean teeth #it just hit me rn

Italians are funny because all the ones I've met simultaneously agree that every region is like it's own country and they have nothing in common but they all agree they're Italians and they do have a lot in common. And from my perspective both statements are true.

#yes I've met lots of Italians in person here in cultural festivals and as exchange students and researchers #you'll be surprised on how many Italians are still inmigratting to Argentina right now as of current time #cosas mias

I do think it's pretty funny that throughout the siracusa event there's like multiple scenes of the characters meeting up at restaurants/over dinner and almost every time the characters just order a pizza. like sure there are a few cases like lappland offering texas a mille-feuille or one of the characters having ordered steak for a party so at the very least we know other food exists but outside of that basically every meal is the good ol pie. it seems like in siracusa the only thing they do when they aren't murdering each other really is just cooka da pizza

#the writers DO do their research too and like i dont think itd be impossible to just look up like 5 italian dishes #so either the translators got funny or the writers really were like 'because this is fictional italia lets have siracusas main dish pizza #zerav meme #arknights #sidenote how the FUCK does pennance keep herself so damn fine if she lives off pizza

What is the true meaning of Elaine?

shining light

The French girl's name Elaine means "sun ray," "shining light," and "bright, and it would be an ideal name to give your little ball of light.

so yes in the bible Elaine´s name means ´´My god has answered me´´ but the true meaning is light. Also in Greek the meaning of Elain is,In Greek Baby Names the meaning of the name Elaine is: Shining light. The bright one. SJM follows greek mythology for her inspiration.

Also ´´My god has answered me´´ does not fit the actual Acotar character Elaine at all but light does. Not to mention feyre said she was always so full of light which connects with ´´The bright one´´

What does Elaine mean in Latin?

Meaning:Torch, shining light, sunlight.

Elaine's name means light. Deal with it.

In russian,italian,spanish,french,greek,english Lucien´s name means Light aswell.

Being a light fits both of them.

NOT TO MENTION THE MEANING OF VANSERRA

so its not as straight forward. Vanserra means ´´Man of the mountains´´ which to me still fits considering Elain is like the woman of the garden yk. and lucien does tons of travelling over the world or smth. Although if you spilt his name into two...

Van means-"cloud" and "gentle."

serra means-GREENHOUSE

Do with that what you will.

the worst part about writing your own story is that you can’t read fanfiction about it

#ah we shall continue writing this story the way i intended #…but what if they were in an au where one of them was a art historian researcher staying at a decrepit italian villa #and the other’s fanily owned it and the fell in love #and it was also the late early 70s and they drove around tuscany in a thunderbird #but NO #I HAVE TO WRITE THE ORIGINAL THING FIRST #writblr #fanfiction #ao3 #writing

Is Gen getting an Italian nationality?

Um... not likely? That's not very common, plus she runs the risk of losing her American citizenship.

If you heard it from someone else, it's probably a false rumor or something that was misinterpreted after hearing how much Gen and Jared like Italy as a country.

Also, there are very specific rules to getting an Italian citizenship for descendants that depend on specific dates of immigration and naturalization.

#ask box #gen padalecki #weird ask #but in researching #found out I can become an Italian citizen!#lmao!#made it by one year!

i have such useless headcanons about what pastas i think the italies would gravitate towards

it's mostly based off what actual northern/southern italian pasta dishes tend to use

#( 💭 faun thinks )#still working out my ideas bc this can be hard to research but i think romano prioritizes certain shapes like rigatoni or fusilli #or orecchiette #fun shapes and ridges he likes a lot for holding onto sauce well #while veneziano gravitates towards long sometimes thin pasta like bigoli or tagliatelle but also dumplings like gnocchi and ravioli #also i used to have a headcanon for their opinions on penne lisce but i am thinking about it again #italians don't come for me if i got something wrong i do my best to research 🙏

We need to forbid writers from setting their books in foreign countries if they're not willing to make basic research about other cultures

#i can't even name any names because no place is safe here.#the number of young published wattpad writers that set stuff in the usa without researching it is incredible #the weirdly exoticized canada of italian author erin doom where people are obsessed with moose and only eat salmon 😭#that part of s*rpent and dove where they eat cinammon rolls in medieval france....#personal

time to redesign delphines outfit bc her canon one makes me visibly wince when i think about it

#bishop.txt #i'm planning to slowly redesign a lot of skyrim NPCs outfits bc it gives me something to do and a way to apply all the research im doing #starting with our girl delphine #taking irl viking culture and using that as inspo + medieval italian influence bc of how close to cyrodiil riverwood is #also the fact they put skyrim innkeepers in rags when in medieval society innkeepers were more wealthy than average .......... AUGH

“The ice-creamers seem to have given the Austrians a bit of a knock though both sides seem to claim about the same number of prisoners and one doesn’t know which side is the bigger liar.” Lieutenant-General William Marshall 28 June 1918.

Early 20th century anti-Italian racism seems so quaint nowadays

Every time I think that it's a pity that I live in Italy and I never write anything set in my country (I love historical fantasy and mainly write that for my fully original works)... Every time I think that and then I try to research something historical/artistical here that's not the two villas in Pompeii, the Coliseum or the Uffizi Gallery, I spend at least one hour cursing like a sailor because everything is done with the apparent purpose of kicking people away and making finding informations difficult, and close everything like this:

#personal crap #I had to draw a fucking villa in pompeii and I spent three days pointlessly looking at italian websites with no results #I was about to ask friends living in Naples if they could please go there and take some photos for me #after they kindly sent me the leaflets and map they got the last time they went there #when I found infos and photographs on an american website #which I didn't check before because you know #I'm a mothertongue italian #I may as well look up for informations in my own language no?#no.#on the other hand I had to research old Colchis for a Medea illustration #And it took me half an hour on Georgian websites because I stopped to look at recipes and local food #Everything was well organised and easy to research with plenty of photos #Tbilisi ended up high in my list of “Places I'd like to visit”

the GOOD news is i got indirect permission to do my final presentation on diabolik so i'm about to make the world's most annoying powerpoint about it. the BAD news is. i have to figure out how to pronounce it consistently in english

#im not giving this in italian i don't have the strength #anyway research is gonna be a bitch because every time i find something it's usually talking about its impact on the general fumetti neri #subgenre and not the series itself But I Persist. it's gonna be so so fun #might need to get a hold of ginko all'attacco soon tho. on account of Behind The Scenes Featurette. and of course chi sei #neon has thoughts #still work shopping in my head. it's gonna be a good time im so excited
