#OnThisDay, 31 Jan 1945, women in Italy gained the right to vote in general as well as local elections.
Women voted in Italian general elections for the first time in 1946.
There's a marvellous photo over on getty showing an 82 year old woman being helped to vote for the first time in 1946.

One of the darkest episodes in Italian History; the colonisation of East Africa. Whilst the Fascist propaganda portrayed the Italians as liberators some regrettable cartoons showed the reality.
"I would like to post this souvenir of East Africa to a friend"

Today’s score from a secondhand bookshop: Views of Florence and Tuscany, by Giuseppe Zocchi (1711-77).
It features meticulous drawings of Italian landscapes, architecture, and people. Full of character—and characters.
Two male #attorneys stood in for #SophiaLoren and producer #CarloPonti when they married back in 1957.
Ponti, who discovered a teenage Loren as an *ahem* "beauty contest judge," was still married. Since divorce was illegal in #Italy, the couple sent their proxies south of the border on their behalf.
The #marriage was later annulled because, of course, you can't do that.
Just to update: here's some #Histodons I started to follow in my search for 20th/21st century #ItalianHistory (or around there).
