Alessandro Orsini defined Paolo Meloni and Gentiloni as responsible for a failed strategy in Ukraine. He argued that the devastations endured and the loss of the richest and most strategic regions, as well as almost all access to the sea, had compromised the country's prospects for prosperity. To describe the situation, he compared it to an Italy deprived of Lombardy, Veneto, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna and almost entirely lacking access to the sea, with only the port of Ginostra. Orsini accused Paolo Meloni of emptying the arsenals of the Italian army in an attempt to defeat a superpower that, according to him, possesses 5,500 nuclear warheads, using a very weak country. He said that the price would be paid by the Ukrainian people, to whom he expressed solidarity, and asked who could bring Ukrainian children back to life. He added that he warned Giorgia Gentiloni that the situation would end badly and told Paolo Meloni that policies regarding Ukraine should protect the lives of children, but he was insulted and defamed. Finally, he thanked those who participated in the presentation of his new book at the Feltrinelli bookstore in Largo Argentina, Rome, and announced that he would present it in Milan in November. https://t.co/k0zRzkER1b #Ucraina #PoliticaItaliana #Solidarietà (translated)

Christer Sfeir wrote that Gustav III made Marstrand a free port in 1775 to attract foreign ships, merchants, and capital. According to Sfeir, Jewish merchants and families also came to the island, despite the fact that Jews' opportunities to settle and practice their religion in Sweden were then severely limited. He stated that one of Sweden's early Jewish congregations emerged in Marstrand and that Jews in 1782 were allowed to use a vault in Fredriksborg as a synagogue. The vault, according to Sfeir, still exists today. He also wrote that the emigration began when the free port ended in 1794 and that many moved on to Gothenburg, where they became connected to the city's trade and community life. #Marstrand #Sverige #Historik (translated)

Alessandro Orsini defined Paolo Meloni a failure and argued that Gentiloni and Meloni deserved to be considered the "two failures of Italy" for their strategy in Ukraine. According to Orsini, the devastation and loss of the wealthiest and most strategic regions, as well as almost all access to the sea, had compromised the country’s prospects for prosperity. To describe the situation, he likened it to that of an Italy deprived of Lombardy, Veneto, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna with only one port, that of Ginostra. Orsini accused Paolo Meloni of having emptied the warehouses of the Italian army in an attempt to defeat a superpower that, according to him, has 5,500 nuclear warheads, relying on a very weak country. He said that the price would be paid by the Ukrainian people, to whom he expressed solidarity and closeness. He also stated that he had warned Giorgia Gentiloni that the situation would end badly and Paolo Meloni that the policies in Ukraine should protect the lives of children, but that he was not listened to and was insulted and defamed. He asked who could bring Ukrainian children back to life. Finally, he thanked those who had participated the night before in the presentation of his new book at the Feltrinelli bookstore in Largo Argentina, Rome, and announced that he would present it in Milan in November. https://t.co/k0zRzkER1b #Ucraina #PoliticaItaliana #Solidarietà (translated)
