3/4🧵@remagio.bsky.social FYI, the  blog I own doesn't sell nor promote ANY goods or services, let alone trick people into paying any amount of money (see Cambridge definition of "scammer"), so putting me on a public "scammers" list is defamation.

@remagio.bsky.social You claim to be an "independent researcher and advocate in digital privacy" (sic). Well, do some actual research before you randomly target Italian accounts and call people "scammers" based on absolutely nothing.

Lago di Alleghe (Lake Alleghe), Veneto, Italy 🇮🇹

This beautiful small lake in the Cordevole Valley was formed in 1771 due to a landslide which blocked the course of the Cordevole torrent.

View of a turquoise-coloured lake with green mountains in the background amd a small village. On the left in the foreground there's a beautiful little house with fuchsia-coloured flowers under the two small windows. Overlooking the lake in front of the house there's a small wooden balcony, also decorated with red flowers along the railing. In the foreground there's a tiny lawn with white and red flowers on both sides.

The Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples 🇮🇹 were created in 1563 by the Spanish politician and first viceroy of Naples, Don Pedro de Toledo, to station the Spanish Military garrisons, hence the name. 
The grid of narrow streets is laid out like a chessboard.

Did you know that Italy is home to the oldest manufacturing company in the world? It was founded more than 1,000 years ago and is still owned and run by descendants of the same founding family.
