Doesn't seem like clickbait to me, it's literally an article about a calendar about swallows with a few hundred words setting the scene and history of the area.

The article mentions the swallows arrived in early March, but sometimes as early as mid February, during the 18th century... that seems really early, which indicates the weather was actually warmer than today?

I wondered if the Julian/Gregorian adoption might have had something to do with it, but no, italian states were early adopters, having already swapped in the XVI.
