The thesis was written over several years in Florence, in between training sessions and matches with IUE Calcio Squadra Fantastica - this makes it all the more of an honor for me to be included among the team's legends 🥹🥳 Thanks to all those who made it possible!

W "Історичний вебінар\Historical webinar" opowiedziałem, jak w epoce nowożytnej tworzył się negatywny wizerunek pijanego chłopa i zapadłej karczmy i jak potem był wykorzystywany do ustanawiania kontroli nad wiejskim życiem 🍻
