This got me. Thought it was real, busted out laughing when I read the project leads name. It still didn't click.

For me it was easier. While I forgot it was first april, the image was too outrageous. Looked like AI-generated slop. They may have had more success with another image. AI slop made us lazy.

IMO a made up "artist conception" picture on an article like this would have been perfectly appropriate, we've seen worse (think of the whole NEOM thingy).

Man I fell for it until I saw your post. In fact, I was just about to post what the man's name means in Italian.

I was even going to point out how ironic it is that the mans first name and last name fit together so well.

In my defense I only got as far as idraulico and missed the "Mamma mia, they're super!"

Small clue here too, maybe more subtle: > explained school director, Rosalina Pfirsich, looking up from her storybook Pfirsich in German means Peach, as in Princess Peach :D

There is also ”project leader Mario Idraulico”
