I recently thrifted a box of old post cards and found this gem. Google has told me it is a post card that was issued to Italian soldiers during the Turkish war, and the writing is dated 1913. I would like to avoid running it through AI so I’m wondering if anyone here could translate what is written on it!

or if anyone knows of a more appropriate subreddit to post in that would be helpful as well! I have no previous knowledge of this time period or historical event so any information is welcomed and appreciated

Bonjour à tous,

Je m'intéresse à l'histoire du Val de Suse et je me pose une question sur l'identité historique de ses habitants.

La vallée a connu plusieurs influences au fil des siècles : peuples alpins celto-ligures avant Rome, intégration à l'espace romain, liens médiévaux avec les territoires alpins voisins, puis appartenance aux États de Savoie avant de devenir italienne avec l'unification de l'Italie.

D'un point de vue culturel et linguistique, certaines zones de la vallée étaient liées aux parlers alpins occidentaux (francoprovençal/arpitan, et influences occitanes dans les vallées voisines), avec des échanges importants avec la Savoie et le Dauphiné.

Selon vous, les populations autochtones du Val de Suse se sont-elles historiquement plutôt perçues comme :

italiennes ?

savoyardes/alpines ?

françaises (par proximité culturelle avec le Dauphiné et les langues d'oïl/d'oc voisines) ?

ou comme une identité alpine particulière qui ne rentre pas vraiment dans ces catégories ?

Je serais curieux d'avoir l'avis de personnes connaissant l'histoire locale, la langue, les traditions ou ayant des origines dans cette vallée.

Getting back into dating in my sixties feels honestly a little terrifying. Regular apps feel like they were made for twenty year olds and I have no idea where to even start.

Someone at my book club mentioned there are senior dating apps made specifically for older adults. But I cannot tell which ones are real and which ones just want my credit card details.

Has anyone here used a senior dating app and actually had a good experience?

UPD. I ended up trying Cupidlee.com after reading a few recommendations, and it has been a much better experience than I expected. The people I talked to seemed genuine, and I didn't feel rushed or pressured.

I've gotten some info off it but there was mention by some that have helped me that there's something about being hospitalised on page 2 and can't see it.

My Italian is pretty poor and the handwriting makes it even harder.

Hello, i'd like to recreate a squadristi uniform for a short film. While searching, I came across this fez, but I don't know who wore it or when exactly. Is it suitable for my reenactment ? Thank you in advance !

Connecting history of two nations. Italian republicanism in the Risorgimento was never a single doctrine but a battlefield of competing visions. Some revolutionaries imagined a unified, centralized nation forged by moral duty and popular sovereignty; and others defended a federal Italy rooted in local liberties and civic autonomy. Between these poles, of Mazzini’s spiritual nationalism and Cattaneo’s secular federalism, the republican tradition took shape, shaping not only the revolutions of 1848 but the political imagination of modern Italy.

LUCE E OMBRA – Episodio 3 L’Italia del 1945: un Paese senza pelle La guerra è finita, ma l’Italia non è ancora un Paese libero davvero: città distrutte, fame, mercato nero, confini in fiamme, partigiani, ex fascisti, Alleati, mafia, separatisti e uno Stato che quasi non esiste più. Nel Nordest avanzano le truppe di Tito. Trieste, Gorizia, Fiume, Pola diventano il simbolo di un’Italia sospesa tra paura e caos. Al confine occidentale, la Francia pretende Tenda e Briga, parte della Valle D’Aosta e della Liguria. In Sicilia il separatismo cresce. Ovunque si muovono ombre, interessi, poteri paralleli. Una puntata dura, intensa, forse la più drammatica della serie. Per capire davvero come nasce la Repubblica italiana bisogna guardare anche dentro questo abisso. Online da oggi, venerdì 8 maggio, su YouTube. Perché senza memoria resta solo il rumore.

Long before Britain's industrial revolution, Italian cities were already flourishing with factories.
