📜 1 March.
"Cao de L'Ano" = New Year's Day.
No, I'm not yet (completely) crazy... in ancient Venice New Year's Day was on the 1rst of March and this uniqueness lasted until the 👉 end of the Venetian Republic in 1797.
This apparently bizarre mistake was in truth... the correct thing!
👉 Venice Republic adopted the ancient Roman calendar (abolished in 153 BC) according to which a year had 10 months (or periods), starting from Springtime (March). January and February did not exist.
That's why still today we have month names like September (=Sette, Seven), October (=Otto, Eight), November (=Nove, Nine), December (=Dieci, Ten).
The Gregorian Calendar (the one we all are used to) became the standard for every country after 1582..."more veneto" (= except Venice).
This city is unique in everything! 😉🤟❤️

🎥1 March 1971. Venice in Movie Series.
Death in Venice (original Italian title: Morte a Venezia) an Italian–French drama film directed in Panavision and Technicolor by Luchino Visconti, starring Dirk Bogarde and Björn Andrésen is released.
Based on the novella Death in Venice by the German author Thomas Mann, the film, despite raising controversies at the time in #Italy for treating subjects like homosexuality and adult love for adolescents, was considered a masterpiece.
💬 Plot. It's in fact the story of composer Gustav von Aschenbach who travels to Venice for rest, due to serious health concerns. In Venice, he becomes obsessed with the stunning beauty of an adolescent Polish boy named Tadzio, who is staying with his family at the same Grand Hôtel des Bains on the Lido as Aschenbach.
Entirely filmed in Venice and at the #Lido, Morte a Venezia has become in following years a symbol of poetic and romantic decadence... perfectly picturing that atmosphere in Venice Lido.

Roger Daltrey Say It Ain't So Joe HQ
This is everywhere, but it doesn't sound this good. I also cleaned up the video a bit & re-proportioned it. Replaced the audio. Not perfect by far, though.
For best results, watch in HQ with headphones on (or with really good speakers!)

It remained in US charts until 1988, the longest permanence ever!
Lirycal themes include conflict, greed, consumerism, time passing, death, insanity, the latter inspired by former band mate #SydBarrett mental state.
The album contains #MusiqueConcrete elements and the heavenly wordless vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky" by #ClareTorry (brought in by Parsons).
