Yes, the Romans did add extra days to reconcile lunar months with the solar year, and Saturnalia was indeed an extraordinary spectacle.
But that adjustment doesn’t change the symbolic structure of the year: March still marked the beginning of the civic, military, and agricultural cycle.
Intercalary days fixed the math. March defined the meaning.
The real year doesn’t begin in January, it begins in March.
Nature sets the timeline, not the calendar: with the spring equinox, light overtakes darkness and biological cycles restart.
In ancient Rome, the year began in March, a month tied to action and renewal, and even the names of the months still reflect that original order.
January is an administrative agreement.
March is a real reset.
The gravest form of despair that can take hold of a society is the doubt that living honestly is pointless.
Courage, a sense of humor, the willingness to question the mediocre axioms of everyday life, and a love for the gratuitous act.

Man carries within himself the fears of his childhood all his life.
To reach the point where fear no longer exists, that is the ultimate goal of man.
L’uomo porta dentro di se le sue paure bambine per tutta la vita.
Arrivare a non avere più paura, questa è la meta ultima dell’uomo.
Italo Calvino
Education is the real antidote to authoritarianism.
When people learn to read, think, question, and imagine different worlds, they stop being easy to control.
You don’t get rich with culture, but it makes you free.
Revolutions aren’t made by niches, they’re made by the people.

I like to think that conspiracy theories are just a way of convincing us there’s at least one adult in the room.
And that’s kind of romantic.
That would be poetic !

Francesca Albanese, UN rapporteur, has been sanctioned by the United States.
The result: bank accounts closed, and no way to open new ones, not even in Italy.
This is not an isolated case, it proves that the “right” to a bank account doesn’t really exist.
One political decree and you’re erased from the global financial system, fucked.
When access to money depends on someone else’s permission, that’s not freedom, it’s blackmail.
The answer is not new banks or new laws, guess what is is…

Reading only what interests us makes us part of the cult.
Reading everything makes you free.
