I read recently the theories on the missing 1983 girl. It is horrifying to think the catholic church may be involved in another cover up and possibly involved (vatican) in her death. 

 

 

Hello Sage......I think you mean the Emanuela Orlandi case....She's  daughter of a Vatican citizen and employee ( she's also a Vatican citizen)

 

Yes...That's terrible...Her brother keeps pushing for the truth about this further Italian mystery.....Will he succeed? I have serious doubts I'm afraid to say.....

Italian PM greeted with anti-fascist song Bella Ciao at convention – video

Source: Reuters

Fri 17 Mar 2023 13.41 GMT

 

 

 

Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s prime minister and leader of a party with neo-fascist origins, was greeted during a speech in Rimini with some delegates singing the protest song at her arrival. Meloni was speaking during a convention of the three main Italian unions, CGIL, CISL, and UIL when some unionists sang the song and left the hall with their fists raised. Bella Ciao originated among the hardships of female paddy field workers in the late 19th century and became the anthem of the Italian resistance movement by partisans opposing fascism in the second world war. It has since become a hymn of freedom and resistance

Good...I think "Bella ciao" should be our Nat'l Anthem infact.......

 

 

And I kindly remind Ms.Meloni  that our Constitution (the one she vowed on when seated) is an anti-fascist one....Just saying.....
