For a time I sought to place lots of things here: http://cephalophoria.blogspot.com/
... making a fresh start.
But that has not solved the 'problem' of putting stuff under different blogs, things continued to have own lives.
And now the world is in a state of revolution and I have come back to put views clearly under my name.
... but as the world is now as it is, and COVID-19 is here to stay, I have, at age 77, run out of prospects to go and visit children in Victoria (Australia), New Zealand, the US and indeed Afghanistan.... let alone ever visit Italy again.
I have written a number of essays recently, on Australia's foreign policy and strategic direction.

Earlier such essays at http://cephalophoria.blogspot.com/
I wanted to place here a link to writing by a Genoa historian Giuseppe Felloni, but I discover that my link here http://settesettimane.blogspot.com/2018/10/of-people-and-places.html has gone dead, the website giuseppefelloni.it has vanished, quite possibly because Felloni has been slain by the pandemic. .. Or perhaps Felloni's site will re-emerge. The opening proposition in his writing was of how Europe in the late middle ages was just one 'civilisation', that the concept of 'Europe' had not emerged, and how in all respects Europe was less 'developed' than China.
I come back to this blog determined to write about issues for the new globe, not fiddling about with current things. Our children and their children are in for a different ride from that we have experienced in the immediate past millennium. Structural change is inevitable, as I suggest at papers linked above. Because links to elsewhere depend on survival of elsewhere I will paste those writings into blog entries here shortly.
