joenepraat, In the meantime #fascists march 'legally' through the streets of #Milan in #Meloni's #Italy. Yes, be alarmed! This will be normalized everywhere or we must prevent this from happening. Don't think they won't come for you. Go on the streets and block them! DON'T LET THEM MARCH! :antifa:
RolfBly, 😨 Other source, also via Paolo Berizzi's TwiX. It's an annual event.
https://www.milanotoday.it/cronaca/sergio-ramelli-saluti-romani.html
"La cerimonia, come ogni anno, si è conclusa col “rito del presente” e i saluti romani. Ancora una volta."
"The ceremony, like every year, ends with the 'presence ritual' and the roman salute. Yet again."
(Translation mine)
I've seen a fragment before but didn't know what it was about, until now. This is what they commemorate:

RolfBly, @helma @joenepraat Yes. They celebrate their martyrs.
Which is why I believe we shouldn't give them any.

straphanger, Now there's a trip I'd love to take!
As early as April, Trenitalia is launching a high-speed connection from #Milan , through #Trieste , to #Ljubljana, the capital of #Slovenia
Just 7 hours on a Frecciarossa train...
https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/italy-slovenia-direct-train/index.html
straphanger, I was mightily tempted to hop on this local train to Ljubljana when I was in Trieste last summer.
straphanger, The center of Ljubljana looks idyllic. The city of 280,000 kicked cars out of downtown 15 or so years ago. Since then, overall car use has dropped by 32%, black carbon emissions are down 70%, noise pollution is down by 6 decibels. And center's become a paradise for walkers, cyclists, and otherly abled (there are electric shuttles available on demand).
AliPerViaggiare, Soncino; night at Lady Hawke's castle

the Castle is located in the village of #soncino in the province of #Cremona, and was built at the behest of the Duke of #Milan Galeazzo Maria Sforza....
... also famous for being one of the sets of the very famous film "Lady Hawke", released in 1985.image/jpeg

andreaswiedenhoff, A #Geneva🇨🇭to #Milan #EuroCity train, hauled by an #SBB class 460 electric, is seen here running alongside Lac Léman, between #Lausanne and #Montreux, in April 2009. The carriages, with the exception of the first one, display the, rather ephemeral, #Cisalpino livery.

rafa_font, Good morning, Mastodon!
My breakfast and I say hello aboard the high-speed train from Brussels to Strasbourg, first leg of today's #CrossBorderRail journey.
This is the plan:
- Reach #Strasbourg in less than 4h
- From Strasbourg to #Basel there are hourly trains
- Once in Basel I should reach #Lugano and then #Chiasso and #Milan, I have a ticket for the route, not for any particular train
- Depending on the time I reach Milan, a regional or high speed to #Parma.
More info to follow. We move!
pzriddle, @rafa_font @trains These people are my heroes! To call attention to the demand for night trains in Portugal, they threw a silent disco pajama party at the Santa Apolonia station in Lisbon.

njsg, @rafa_font @trains A tidbit just in case someone is interested, the photo of the Sud Express+Lusitânia consist at Portugal (St. Apolónia) is almost surely of a slightly different service on January 2013. Usually hauled by an electric locomotive (at least within Portugal, I think Spain had an unelectrified stretch), that one was being hauled by a diesel one because it had to use the mostly unelectrified Western Line, as its usual route had been interrupted by a collision from a double SPAD.

straphanger, Mayor of #Milan #Italy, one of Europe's most polluted cities, announces plans to ban cars from city center next year.
It would join #Stockholm in having a downtown car-free zone.

TheWarOnCars, Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala: “I am not an antagonist of capitalism, but honestly seeing the parade of supercars in the centre which they then can't park can’t continue."
#milan #thewaroncars #italy #cars #pollution #climatechange #transportation
awoodsnet, @Iragersh @TheWarOnCars I’d ban personal SUVs in the city. City-owned SUVs only. also start closing smaller neighborhood streets to cars altogether, including parking- pedestrians and bicycles only.
msbellows, @TheWarOnCars How does it benefit a city to serve as a parade ground for billionaires' supercars?
pluralistic,
alx, @pluralistic we Italians take cultural heritage very seriously
angelozanola, @pluralistic The Internet Explorer left Milan 22 years ago and has returned bearing internet silks and internet spices.
aaronjohn0412, Here is a photo of me taken in front of #Milan cathedral that I've ask LLaVA to describe for me. to my sighted friends, I'll appreciate you giving feedback on its accuracy.
Description:
The image features a man wearing a pink shirt standing in front of a large, ornate building with a blue sky in the background. The building appears to be a cathedral, as it has a tall structure and a prominent clock tower. The man is holding a camera, possibly taking a picture of the impressive building.
There are several other people in the scene, some of them closer to the foreground and others further in the background. They seem to be enjoying their time near the cathedral, possibly admiring its architecture or taking photos as well.#Blind #Blindness #Accessibility #BlindPhotography #Photography #AltText #AltText4Me #Milano #Duomo #Italy #PH #Pinoy #Philippines #LLaVA
andreaswiedenhoff, Departing #Milan 🇮🇹 northbound to #Switzerland concludes a 14-day voyage, mainly by train, across the following eight #European 🇪🇺 countries: #Switzerland🇨🇭#France 🇫🇷 #Italy 🇮🇹 (a stopover at home in #Switzerland) #Germany 🇩🇪 (🚂+✈️) #Romania 🇷🇴 (🛬+🚍) #Ukraine (🚍+🚂) 🇺🇦 #Hungary 🇭🇺 #Austria 🇦🇹 and again #Italy 🇮🇹.
Thank you for your company! 🙏
securescientist, @andreaswiedenhoff presumably you’ve spent almost all of that time on the train?
30yrdscreamer, I reckon 0-0 would be a good result for #newcastle away at #milan.
30yrdscreamer, @philheppenstall only got chance to see the last 15 mins. That's a tough away game over with though, and back home with a point.
30yrdscreamer, @philheppenstall yeah - it's not quite clicked for #nufc yet it seems. Plenty of time yet though.

How do you walk in such shoes? A demo in a copy would be interesting.
Deus, (edited ) Think of the filthy roads in medieval times. I guess you just had to learn how to walk on these.
