Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista dei Celestini

(Trying this again because it came out slightly blurry the first time and I don't know why! Sorry! If it's blurry again, I don't know what to do. ♥️)

The Celestines were a Roman Catholic monastic order founded in 1244. They were invited to come to Bologna in 1368 by nobleman Antonio Di Ubaldino Galluzzi. The church had pretty extensive work done to it during the 16th century and has remained pretty much the the same all these years later.
The Celestines are no longer around and there has been some changes in the function of the church over the years. At one point it was part of the school for engineering. Today it houses state archives and they still hold masses and stuff. (I'm pretty sure - there was a mass timetable on the door)

🎶 ...So, come up to the lab and see what's on the slab... 🎶 for #spookysaturday episode 6

This is the Teatro Anatomico in the Archiginnasio! Unfortunately this week I have not written a story for you, sorry! My last two brain cells have gone on strike. However, I do have some creepy/weird anatomy facts to share - because nothing is scarier than being a human.

1). Your stomach has to regrow its inner lining every 3/4 days because the hydrochloric acid digests it. Hmm.. yummy snacks.
2). Your brain is actually soft and squishy like warm butter. No wonder they say it's malleable.
3). People are actually snakes. A person sheds on average 3.4 kilos of skin a year.
4). Defibrillating a heart is just turning it off and hoping it turns on again correctly - then it reloads to your last save file.
5). All of your cells regenerate. On average all of your cells will have regenerated at least once every seven years. The ship of Meseus and Youseus. Useus? Weseus?
6). You can smell your lungs all the time - your brain just filters it out. I hope they smell okay, I haven't washed mine in a while.
7). Intestines after abdominal surgery are treated just like the clean washing in your room. They're not placed back exactly where they need to be, only in the general area. They'll get to where they need to be eventually though.
8). After a head is cut off, it can remain conscious for several seconds. Longer if there is something interesting on TV.
9). Your immune system is like a cranky toddler, it can decide at any time it doesn't like something and want to fight it. Even something inside of you. RIP Thyroid. 💔
10). When you get a kidney transplant they usually don't take out the 'bad' kidney(s). It just gets a new roommate.

All your bones are wet. ✨

Resistance / La Resistenza

Today in Italy is "Festa della Liberazione" / "Liberation Day". It commemorates the victory of the Italian Resistance Movement over Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
Let us remember and honour them and more importantly - continue their great work, as there is still *a lot* of work to do. Nobody is free until we're all free!
Buona 25 aprile! ✊🎉✨

"Death is A Door" for #doorsday

"Death is only an old door
Set in a garden wall
On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk
When the thrushes call
Along the lintel are green leaves
Beyond the light lies still;
Very willing and weary feet
Go over that sill
There is nothing to trouble any heart;
Nothing to hurt at all.
Death is only a quiet door.
In an old wall."
- Nancy Byrd Turner

Cemeteries are incredible testaments to how much people love one another. Every brick laid, every statue carved, every flower left, is an act of love for someone who has slipped away into the next room.
Hugs and warm wishes to you all. ♥️🫂✨
