just published

This post is in english as it is an attempt to a "serious service" for my readers, which -you know- are not just italians...:)
and also it is good for me, as my english here is constantly under scrutiny, and I need to exercise as much as I can.
So, for the non-english speakers, go and look for a dictionary now!
