Ten walks that explain Italy: Rome and getting things done, by @npw99 open.substack.com/pub/nicholaswa…


Needed in case friction with Venice resurfaces.

One of the cool things of the econ department in Genova is that they have a diesel electric submarine. I imagine Harvard has an early flight 688 class nuclear powered attack sub, right?
