  1. Or at least since last year True, haha
  2. De Curtis XD ----------- I agree. Anyway, one of my favourites is Lovesong by the Cure. -edit - I forgot "There is a light that never goes out" by the Smiths
  3. Happy New Year - Buon Anno Nuovo!=) I haven't posted in centuries..
  4. Allora, devi prendere le lettere del tuo nome e cognome e mescolarle (se vai qui http://www.sayouly.com/educational/word_scr basta inserirli e ti fa tutto automaticamente), tutto qua. ------------- Anyway this is incredible great work Nepilla! =)
  5. Ok, the first (?) is the Roman Theatre of Ostia Antiqua, not the one in Pompeii =) (and so this one http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...si&img=1345 ). The second (?) looks like Ostia too, the Pompeii(?) were taken in Pompeii. The Rome(?) ones are in fact in Roma lol, the pictures with the statues were taken in the Atrium Vestae, the house of the Vestali. http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...si&img=1326 http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...si&img=1336 Yes, of course that's Roma O_O This is the Perseo di Benvenuto Cellini in Florence!! ---> http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...si&img=1309 Oh, and this is Venice (San Marco), not Florence =) no laguna (yet) in Florence http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...si&img=1308
  6. That's a very interesting area, Etruscan tombs, neolithic villages and the Orsini castle (not to mention the other medieval ruins in Trevignano itself and Anguillara). Umbria, central Italy.
  7. Silentium

    ...illness

    The Revolutionary Etude is my favourite by Chopin, quite difficult to learn but it allows great freedom of interpretation to the performer.
  8. Congratulations! Destino!I remember I first read about the completion project during a Dal
  9. Wow!Now this is interesting "Excellent, Smithers!" XD
  10. Well, that's very nice to hear, thank you!=) I still think I wouldn't be able to express what I really have in mind in discussions that require more specific vocabulary and arguments, unless I used the dictionary every other second lol. For the time being it would be better to just read them (and learn). Anyway I usually do participate when I feel confident enough. =) Tu es imperator, sed ego aquilifer sum
  11. I admit I had never heard about this, incredible story..
  12. Well, I deliberately avoid participating in discussions (err..sections actually ) that would require a certain level of English, I think non-native speakers should understand themselves when their contributions would be comprehensible and relevant to the discussion and when they would just be misunderstood because of their poor skills with the language - not the other way round, native speakers trying to figure out what us foreigners write- this is an English language forum after all.
  13. Perfect sense, Thank you so much for the insight Silentium! Well, I'm glad it was of interest (and comprehensible). Apparently we will have to wait next summer's excavations to determine with precision the nature of the site (and hopefully confirm the news), at least that's what Simonetta Stopponi said.
  14. English: Arsenal, otherwise someone would kill me lol Italian: AS Roma
  15. This website has very interesting information and maps!
  16. A famous expert of "etruscology", Omero Bordo, dismissed the news and said what was mistaken for the Fanum Voltumnae (ansa called it the Etruscan UN =)) is probably just a Lucumone (sort of supreme magistrate) tomb, or his family tomb. He explained that the location (today's Campo della Fiera) would be unusual for such an important place; according to him it would have been more reasonable to find the Fanum (of whose existence Bordo highly doubts) in important cities such as Tarquinia or Volterra... Secondly, the etruscans considered the eternal sleep as sacred so according to Bordo they wouldn't have placed so many tombs around such a busy and chaotic political centre. Moreover, the Fanum was the place where the concilia were held (in order to elect those who would have had the power) and apparently each Etruscan city had one. No unique political/religious centre then. Of course this is just Bordo's hypothesis and I'm not claiming he's right, I just wanted to add his version in addition to the "official" one. I hope what I wrote makes sense in English.
  17. The percentage of Italians on this website is rather depressing =( I really want to hope it's a language-related problem...
  18. nice sentence Silentium! Who did say it? Gianbattista Vico my interest in the anima/animus difference was sparked when I ventured into the study of Descartes. Anyway, I realised how incomprehensible my previous post sounds so I'll try to make it a bit clearer. Anima Aeterna and Animus Aeternus are both possible, the first one would be more appropriate when referring to soul (in my opinion), the second when referring to "spirit", "thinking principle" opposed to the body.
  19. It depends if you're referring to soul or spirit: Anima vivimus, animus sentimus
  20. Firefox. Faster and more reliable security-wise =|
  21. Exactly what I meant, both should be taken into consideration..
