The Tower of San Martino della Battaglia is a monumental building erected in 1878, to commemorate the Battle of San Martino, a portion of the Battle of Solferino in 1859, located near San Martino, province of Brescia, region of Lombardy, Italy.
The 74 meter high tower was constructed in the form of a Neo-Gothic turret, atop the hill of San Martino. Nearby is an Ossuary that collected the bodies of soldiers who died in the battle there between the Austrian and the Piedmontese army. Wikipedia

Today’s score from a secondhand bookshop: Views of Florence and Tuscany, by Giuseppe Zocchi (1711-77).
It features meticulous drawings of Italian landscapes, architecture, and people. Full of character—and characters.

An ancestor of mine, Archpriest Francesco Paulo Caputi did one of the first studies in #dialectology looking at the same story told in each #dialetto from the 5 villages in the upper Agri Valley of #Basilicata. The differences in each reflect the very different political histories of each village. #storiaitaliana #storia #ItalianHistory #histodons #linguistics #italia

Two male #attorneys stood in for #SophiaLoren and producer #CarloPonti when they married back in 1957.
Ponti, who discovered a teenage Loren as an *ahem* "beauty contest judge," was still married. Since divorce was illegal in #Italy, the couple sent their proxies south of the border on their behalf.
The #marriage was later annulled because, of course, you can't do that.

Rock di Vote:
#OnThisDay Giovanni di Struma is elected #Antipope.
An Antipope is someone who claims the title of Pope but isn't recognized as Pope.
I've done a *lot* of historical reference and this is a flawless recreation of what an Antipope looks like.
