Gabriele D'Annunzio
Added 2025-03-06 08:00:07 +0000 UTC
Join us this week for a particularly blasphemous episode, just in time for lent! Mayor November takes us on a historical tour of the little fascist statelet that wasn't, R̶i̶j̶e̶k̶a̶ Fiume C̶r̶o̶a̶t̶i̶a̶ Italy and its very normal guy leader, Gabriele D'Annunzio.
Municipal meeting minutes include: The tragedy of mayorship, Posting (forum), Pathologically shirtless killing machines, Eating a little cake on a toilet, Italian master chief (tummy hort), Some sensational way out of the situation, The city that keeps running out of flowers, Reformation III, Inventing a new kind of Egypt, and L’uomo della Musica.
Oh, and here's that guy from the municipal roundup:

Odds on Annunziata Rees-Mogg being named after him? Also, you should visit the Vittoriale just to get your mind infected by his various oddities, my favourite of which is that he had the phrase "to genius and pleasure" inscribed above the door to his bedroom.

2025-03-10 16:17:53 +0000 UTCAn extraordinarily fun and interesting-looking documentary about D’Annunzio and the legacy of his regime called “Fiume o morte!” came out just a couple months ago, it seems. No idea if/when it’ll be available online anywhere, but this episode got me super geeked for it that’s for sure. https://youtu.be/9yxF6zMKcao?si=UUmxyUuLgJbvGwhQ

2025-03-07 06:54:39 +0000 UTCyou would NOT want to eat caviar from a silver chalice since caviar has some sulfur compounds in it that react with silver. it's why you traditionally serve it with a mother of pearl spoon

2025-03-06 18:49:31 +0000 UTCHonestly, if I was suddenly made mayor by popular acclaim, and everyone loves me too much to let me leave, I would 100% tiptoe between trying to escape responsibilities anyway and using every ounce of my power to get my way on things I care about. Except that I'm obviously not a (proto-)fascist, so I'd probably help the poor or otherwise less fortunate.
