I mean, if you look at the values of British colonialism, she is right that a Human Rights court would disagree with them.

Money. They even digged catacombs and created saints or multiplied body parts. They could attract a lot of pilgrims and make money out of it.

The (supposed) grill used to bbq him is in a church in Rome. You can visit it

>I'm under the impression that horse meat is relatively common in Europe

It is regional, but yes, it is common. Don't serve horse meat to a British, but in Iceland I found it served at a hotel buffet dinner.

In some regions of Italy donkey meat is traditional. When in Verona I had nice pasta with donkey ragu. As usual, it is the classic "my culture is better than your culture, stop eating donkey meat".

Mediaset/Berlusconi. Berlusconi's TVs had a massive role in importing and popularise anime in Italy (and other European countries, like in Spain), and the company responsible for the recording of the songs was owned by Berlusconi as well. So she simply worked for a single company that distributed hundreds of animated series. Mediaset even produced several albums with the theme songs from animated series https://i.discogs.com/LyMJAWm9_zjQl_o97lOogZv2NG1CsMLN5nItCM6VHuY/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:350/w:350/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTU1NTY1/NzktMTM5NjQ2MTQ1/NC03OTAyLmpwZWc.jpeg

I had to Google to watch them https://youtu.be/DrMyRBdaRU8

And they never represented Germany at the ESC? They would have been an easy win for Germany.

Cristina D'Avena goes beyond just anime. What have Batman, the Smurfs, and One Piece in common? The theme song in Italian by Cristina D'Avena :-D

She also played the role of Licia/Yaeko in the live action of Love Me, My Knight/Rock ’n’ Roll Kids :-)

Cristina D'Avena has recorded almost 400 theme songs of animated series in Italy.

Is the list public? Because that something can be accessed by many people doesn't mean that it can be accessed by everyone, nor that the information can be made public, or that there is no access control over it. It is the difference between public information and internal information.

>It makes me wonder about the first time other languages were documented.

The oldest document in Italian (or better in vernacular, because Italian didn't exist at that time) is about the ownership of some lands by a monastery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placiti_Cassinesi?wprov=sfla1

Well, it was Italy during the Renaissance, you don't keep your power with just paintings and party machines (Leonardo was also a great party organiser), they have much less business value than a giant crossbow.

Yes, the visa is the authorisation you get to enter a country. It is also what (charta) visa literally means in Latin "a paper document that has been checked". In Italian the term is visto which means seen/checked. There also is the exit visa, which has the opposite scope, the foreign country controls that you don't have anything pending (eg a fine) before leaving the country. But exit visa are rarely required.

Visa policy is based on trust, I trust you, so your citizens can enter my country without the need of a visa. Then more countries you can visit without visa (or just visa on arrival, which is nothing more than a fee to enter, no background check as per normal visa), higher is the level of trust in your country.

I would say the opposite, compared to similar cities, like NYC or London or Paris, Tokyo is "cheap". I'm going there for NYE and my hotel (4* in Ginza) is 140 USD/night. Find something similar in Manhattan and you would easly pay double. I'm paying something similar for a 3* in London, but not in the centre (zone 3), and my 4* in New Orleans will cost me 360 USD/night (!!!).

Then food is quite cheap, you can easily eat for 10 USD or less. Transport is expensive, but the Japan Rail Pass covers Tokyo as well.

Because the Egyptian government hasn't proposed them. Unesco sites are not selected by Unesco, but the different governments must propose them, and then the Unesco member states will vote for them. So, to have more Egyptian sites on the list, first the Egyptian government must select (tentative list) and propose them for selection (nomination).

British traditions as well, as most of the traditions are from the Victorian era. Even the idea of white Christmas seems to be from Dickens, because when he was a kid there was a sort of small glaciation and snow on Christmas day was very common.
