Good Omens x Michael Sheen x Ancient Rome - a crossover made in heaven Italy
I'm crawling out of the rock I've been living under - just because I feel like this post I reblogged needs some context to be fully appreciated (and you all know how much I love deep diving into the most random shit). Quoting @thiswomanshouldbewriting :
No one is doing it like the Italian Good Omens fandom, making Michael Sheen trend on twitter because Alberto Angela used his footage as Nero in his documentary. Literally no one is like us.
The mentioned footage is, as you might have inferred if you're a Michael Sheen/GO fan, from the 2006 BBC docudrama "Ancient Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire", which Sheen starred in as a very unhinged Nero. Imagine you're the average italian GO fan, channel-zapping while you do chores, or homework, or you're having dinner, and you suddenly see (on RAI1, aka the state-owned broadcasting *main* tv channel) THIS:

(and also the show somewhat restores Nero's reputation, *and* discusses at length the Romans' rampant bisexuality *and* mentions Nero's same-sex marriageS (plural) *and* the soundtrack SLAYS) (god I wish it was subtitled in English 'cause y'all would love it)
That's something to be excited about already. But wait... there's more!
If you're not Italian (hi 99,9% of tumblr) you might ask yourself: but what's all the fuss about? and who the fuck is Alberto Angela?
Glad you asked.
Alberto Angela, author and host of the documentary programme that included the aforementioned footage, is - simply put - an icon, a myth, a cornerstone of cultural divulgation in this country.
He's an accomplished paleontologist, archeologist, writer, and a very engaging communicator.
He's a son of art, since his late father Piero was an even greater public figure, an all-time favourite of the italian audience (think: the Mr. Rogers of science divulgation) -- which only adds to Alberto's fame and love by the masses.
He's been a staple on tv for a long time, a beloved chaperone to everything about science, culture and especially history, which he conveys with utmost passion.
He's also a very fine man.

It won't surprise you that, over time, he's become sort of a national sex-symbol: the charming nerd, the next-door Indiana Jones, the cultured, wholesome, handsome heartthrob.
...and a great source of memes:

"I DIVULGE. HARD."
Tumblr media
"Deoxyribonucleic acid" *splash*
So... let's rewind for a moment: you're the average italian GO fan, channel-zapping while you do chores, or homework, or you're having dinner, and you suddenly see Michael Sheen as Nero featured on the most popular documentary programme in the country, by the most beloved & iconic tv host of recent times.
In conclusion: this is why the italian GO fandom is going positively feral on twitter. You're welcome. *crawls under her rock again*

HAPPY PRIDE, BERLUSCONI IS DEAD!
Today is Italian national holiday, let's celebrate!
-
Translation of the italian bits:
First pic: People that "we should show respect when someone dies, it doesn't matter how many "mistakes" they made
Second pic: Us, angry antifa that want to celebrate the death of a monster

Ok so,
to startIt’s from this early summer that I’m thinking of take part to the Tumblr book club initiative and, because I’m italian, partecipate in it with a classic piece from Italian literature (I’m also well navigate in spanish and french lit but I want to play at home).
Because I’m a Master’s degree working students, anything that had nothing to do with with university/work/all the time left for me to go outside and touch some grass has always been postponed, but now I finally managed to pick up this idea and try to make it happen.
So still in June I brainstormed some ideas about lit classics all in public domain and if I not started yet is because I’m pretty indecise; I hypothesize that the newsletter on substrack could start next year and, accounting to the amount of material, I still have to decide if do it daily, weekly, monthly.
Considering that the idea of a Divine Comedy Weekly has already been taken by @lefthandedleague and if you’re interested you can find the link here, the other ideas that come to my mind are:
Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, yes the original novel, there are actually 36 chapters so I could made it weekly, there’s a movie coming out each year about it and the novel is of course public domain, so still a pretty popular piece. Is children literature but still a smart novel and so easy to read in a newsletter framework. Finally, I have decided for this one, at least only to start and see how it goes. You can find the link here.
Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, this was actually my first idea lol but I debunked at first because organize a newsletter of 100 precise novels + interludes isn’t the easiest job and I’ll need help. If done weekly it could take approximately two years no stop to complete, if done daily I don’t know if it could be too much. In any case, Netflix is planning a series about it and it could be still possibile or at least interesting.
Michelangelo poems, ok this idea came to my mind only because I have two different editions of Michelangelo’s poems in ita/eng. It isn’t the greatest poetry imaginable, but both the editions do a great work to match the sonnets with Michelangelo’s artpieces, so I thinked about a substrack newsletter with each mail that have a poem + artpiece from the artist put together. The poems collected are roughly 300 (yeah he was pretty prolific), it could be done daily covering a year or weelky with 5 poems maybe (or less) for each mail.
The Facetious Nights by Giovanni Francesco Straparola or the Pentamerone by Giambattista Basile, for those who don’t know there are considered the first European storybooks to contain fairy-tales, I actually thinked about the collection by Italo Calvino at first, but there aren’t of public domain so idea cancelled. Both the collections contain old stile fairy tales with dark themes and some of them are an early version of worldwide famous tales, like Cinderella, Rapunzel or Puss in Boots. There are various novels so daily or weekly is pretty free the choice.
Some work by Emilio Salgari, to anyone who don’t know him, he is basically the Italian Jules Verne, in Italy some of his stories are national folklore, is pretty know in hispano-speaking countries but in the anglosphere he is basically nobody :( sad to consider that I grew up reading both Verne and Salgari at the same time. Daily or weekly I have to decide which work take for him, some pieces aged badly according to contemporary sensibilities and could be seen slighly problematic, others I think could be understood still today (Sandokan for example).
Other ideas that came to my mind but I’m :/ about it:
Vita by Benvenuto Cellini, he was a renaissance artist who knowed many ppl of that era like Catherine de’ Medici and this is his autopiography, they also made a lot of films about it. Still I don’t know really how much it could be interesting, still isn’t too long done it weekly.
Histoire de ma vie by Giacomo Casanova, same thing as above (+ I’m not the greatest fan of Casanova, I’m almost from the same city which he grew up and in Venice his myth is strong but still I’ve never been interested in his predatory sheningans).
I have some editions of Leopardi’s works at home including the Zibaldone and his letters translated in eng, but is too much for a newsletter so idea:cancelled.
Other epistolaries that comes to mind apart the Leopardi one are the one of Salvator Rosa (another painter from baroque who was actually pretty punk) or the one of Artemisia Gentileschi, it could be interesting but I have still to read it.
If someone from italian tumblr could have other ideas or take part to the project is free to collaborate :)
