Byzantine


If I were to write something about Italy today, I would write this article. Absolutely spot on. And - most importantly - containing the word I have now started using on a daily basis every time I slam my face into the reality of this topsy-turvy nation: Byzantine.


Indeed. Italy has now officially become the New Byzantium.

Byzantine has always been one of my favourite words. Along with caravanserai. And badger of course. Never forget the badger...
