Julia RezYou know, when I were a wee lass in the depths of the Cotswolds, 'The AI man' was a totally different sort of gig.

"This is not about appropriation: this is about the problems of setting in fiction that trouble us all because we live in the same empire-haunted world, ruined by colony and postcolony alike, this tainted, unstable ground.

Rita SingerBack to digging my way through lists of names for potential inclusion in the #Bywgraffiadur list as part of the Diversity Project.
Today, I'm looking at #WelshItalians and there is a decided bias in the historical record. It's all about ⚽, 🍦, 🎼 and 🖼️.
Hit me up with your suggestions: which historical Welsh Italians should we add and why? 🇮🇹 🏴
My current list includes:
- the Berni brothers of Berni Inn
- Joe Cascarini and Enrico Cascarini of Joe's Ice Cream fame
- Arthur Giardelli (painter)
- Andrew Vicari (painter)
- Ernest Zobole (painter)
- Tony Bianchi (author)
- Adelina Patti (opera star)
- Paul Sartori (priest)
- Howard Passadoro (footballer)
- Guido Roffi (footballer)
- Victor Spinetti (actor)
