Modern opera houses owe a lot to ancient Venetian theaters which starting in the 17th century were able to innovate architecture, audience and business plans. Here’s my new blogpost: www.seevenice.it/en/why-moder...

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

If you are in Milan or Bologna (and Venice) then there are guidl tours for musicians (by musicians) in all these places and featuring these three maestros, search for The Wandering Winds. @guidltours.bsky.social

It feels wrong that an MP can get elected on one platform and then just... swap? 🤷♀️ I’ve signed this to demand a by-election when MPs cross the floor. Let's make sure our votes actually count. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

A high-contrast black and white photograph taken from inside a dark church. Two figures are silhouetted in a bright, glowing doorway at the center of the frame. The interior features massive, ornate stone columns that disappear into deep shadow, while a single beam of light reflects off the floor leading toward the figures.
Sometimes people will step out of the light into your photo at just the right moment 😎
