Shameless plug to my own version, https://dedications.fyi/ , and my favorite dedication: https://dedications.fyi/dedication/linear-graphs-and-electri...

I don't know about Ancient Romans, but I do know a few Italian men with numbered names. In particular a Decimo (tenth), who was indeed the tenth (and I wouldn't swear the last). Th…

Gratitude is perhaps my favorite virtue (which doesn't mean I'm good at it...), and dedications in books are an interesting and pithy way to exercise it. I noticed in the past that…

Every now and then I'm tempted to check Tiktok out, mostly to try not to ossify into a grumpy old man. I did it only once (trying it: the ossification is ongoing) and I lasted like…

Should be better now :)

I hope the player is not better on Safari!

Thank you! It's all in the initial HTML payload. Each word in Italian, its translation in English, and the corresponding sidenote, if any, all have a common `data-id`. When the mou…

Never mind, it was La sera del dì di festa . But here it is :) https://italianpoetry.it/poems/la-sera-del-d%C3%AC-di-festa/

Greek is sadly out of my reach, but I'm very curious about this Discord you mentioned. Could you, here or by email, point it out to me? After this website has "settled" a bit, it m…

> I would add the year of composition in the list: 'Oct 10, Tacciono i boschi e i fiumi (1591), by Torquato Tasso' There's a list-by-composition date page, but indeed, that makes a…

Thanks! I should have tested it on Apple stuff :/ Thanks for reporting, I'll check it out

> still around in English but archaic https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/peradventure Wow I didn't know that. Totally worth an update :)

Thanks! Yes, I was thinking of cleaning up the repo and make it public in a while, though honestly it's not too pretty ^^ And yes, Leopardi is coming: I have Il Sabato del villaggi…

I'll admit it's not an obvious choice at all, but it's documented in the Guide ;) Your idea is worth considering, but since it's at a lower granularity, I'll try and see if I there…

It should already be implemented: middle button click. Let me know if it doesn't work!

Eventually, yes, it's a must :) The question is, which pieces. The whole thing is impossibly too long. So far I have one request for the Paolo and Francesca episode. Feel free to s…

Thanks! Make sense, I'll look into that.

Sure! https://italianpoetry.it/podcast/index.xml It should also be available on fydd[1], Google podcast[2], Amazon[3] and Spotify. I don't have an Apple device, and I'm having trou…

I was actually thinking of doing the same for Latin... Now the infrastructure is built, so the effort should be much smaller (but I'd need of course much more support from an exper…

Thank for the suggestions! My voice is terrible, so I'll definitely follow your latter point. I hadn't even thought about playback speed, especially since those are all pretty quic…

Thanks! I'd say a mix of 1. What I like, 2. Lesser-known stuff, not just the usual classics 3. A wider range of topics besides the usual love stuff, including the occasional obscen…

It's hard to appreciate poetry in a language one doesn't know, so this is my attempt to make Italian poetry more easily enjoyable to English speakers. The approach is probably a bi…
