▼ + stars: | 2024-05-20 | by ( Silvia Marchetti | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

The couple has set up a flourishing business buying properties, restyling and reselling them, ready-to-occupy, helping foreign buyers every step of the way. They hunt for old houses in historical villages in need of a makeover, which once renovated make the perfect summer getaway. The BEFORE picture: The couple find old houses in need of a makeover. The old properties the pair handles are located in small towns where centuries-old traditions survive. I really like old houses and the idea of giving them a second chance: especially when they are abandoned buildings rich with history.

Nadia Caterina Munno is the self-proclaimed The Pasta Queen. It’s a title she’s used over the past three years to accumulate a combined six million followers on various social-media platforms, where she posts boisterous, often ironic videos of herself prancing around in her enormous, blue steel and brass home kitchen, making Italian food and laughing at others’ attempts at making Italian food. But Ms. Munno, 40, is aiming much higher than TikTok celebrity. “I want to be the Italian Martha Stewart,” says Ms. Munno. Her cookbook made the New York Times bestseller list in November and she’s working on a second one.

☆ Italian women divided over the prospect of far-right female premier
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-18 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +6 min

ROME — If Italy elects the nation’s first female premier, will its women be delighted or dismayed? Should opinion polls prove on the mark, Giorgia Meloni and the far-right Brothers of Italy party she co-founded less than a decade ago will triumph in the Sept. 25 election. Nothing.”Meloni, 45, is the only main party leader who didn’t join Premier Mario Draghi’s pandemic national unity government in 2021. After populist forces, including two of Meloni’s campaign allies, yanked support for Draghi in July, the former European Central Bank chief’s coalition collapsed, prompting an early election. But she has snapped back at contentions that it wouldn’t be a victory for women if she becomes premier.

☆ O familie din Anglia a descoperit în propria grădină un tezaur din monede de aur, din vremea lui Henric al VIII-lea (FOTO)
▼ + stars: | 2020-12-11 | by ( Publika.Md - Aici Sunt Știrile | ) www.publika.md time to read: +3 min

Patru dintre monede poartă efigia lui Henric al VIII-lea şi, în mod curios, una dintre iniţialele a trei dintre soţiile sale: Caterina de Aragon, Anne Boleyn şi Jane Seymour. Probabil că tezaurul a fost îngropat de un negustor bogat sau de un membru al clerului, susţine şi John Naylor, expert în monede din cadrul Ashmolean Museum, aparţinând Universităţii Oxford. "A fost o perioadă, în anii 1530 şi 1540, când s-a produs Desfiinţarea Mănăstirilor şi ştim că unele biserici au încercat să-şi ascundă bogăţiile, sperând că astfel vor putea să le păstreze", a explicat el. Însă decizia de a grava iniţialele soţiilor lui Henric pe monede este fără precedent. Iar dacă ţinem cont de numeroasele căsătorii ale lui Henric al VIII-lea (6 în total), iniţialele de pe monede au fost schimbate frecvent.

Patru dintre monede poartă efigia lui Henric al VIII-lea şi, în mod curios, una dintre iniţialele a trei dintre soţiile sale: Caterina de Aragon, Anne Boleyn şi Jane Seymour. Familia care a descoperit tezaurul este din districtul New Forest din Hampshire în sud-estul Angliei, a anunţat British Museum, care conduce programul Portable Antiquities Scheme. „A fost o perioadă, în anii 1530 şi 1540, când s-a produs Desfiinţarea Mănăstirilor şi ştim că unele biserici au încercat să-şi ascundă bogăţiile, sperând că astfel vor putea să le păstreze”, a explicat el. Henric al VIII-lea a fost Rege al Angliei și Lord al Irlandei (titulatura de lord a fost abandonată după 1541, de atunci fiind adoptat titlul de rege și pentru Irlanda) între 1509 și 1547. Henric al VIII-lea este regele care a rupt Anglia de Biserica Catolică și a îndreptat-o spre protestantismul anglican, proces care a fost finalizat de fiul și fiica sa, regele Edward al VI-lea (1547-1553) și Elisabeta I (1558-1603).
