Ah yeah got it, i just searched the italian term “matrimonio riparatore” and the translation it gave me was shotgun marriage. But yeah its different

Not particulary tied to your example, but in Italy until 1981 the man who raped or kidnapped a woman could choose to marry her to “restore the honor of her and her family’s”, and the marriage would extinguish the penal effect of the crime (and mind that the crime wasn’t against the person itself but against the moral). It was abolished when Franca Viola became the first woman to refuse this “shotgun marriage”; dont know if its called this way in english. But to be fair i think it kept being “normal” in the south longer than other parts of Italy, like even if the law still existed i don’t think in the center or the north it would have been considered viable or normal. But yeah women had it pretty rough.

Incredible times, at least one homicide every day. Frequent mass bombings, kidnapping, eastern and western interference in national politics: what a time to be alive. (Not really lol)

I’m a fan of Cold War and am italian so i love too that period.

My favourite period it’s the Cold War and i’m very fascinated about the Eastern Bloc and USSR in particular :)

Good ev olive oil is something else. Once you try you can never go back to.

I lived most my life using and tasting the highest quality cause my dad works in the agricolutural field, writing contracts for farmers and etc. and, while not so good paid, the job comes with the upside of the presents from said farmers. Liters and liters of the highest quality oil italy can produce. I think we never (since he had this job) boight a can of oil, and its a pretty big save too considering that kind of oil easily goes for 20€/L.

When i was out for university, my tight budget meant i had to resort to just “Olive oil”. Not EV. Not 100% local. I though “how bad can it be, its still pressed olives!” Bad, very bad.
