    Please, Mike, don’t quote Montanelli as an authority in history (almost in Mediaeval History). On Pope Celestine I wrote a biography : Celestino V il papa contadino. You can do a deepening: he is a very interesting figure.
    Congratulations,
    Paolo

      Haha, quite right, if you listen though I add that his claims are unsubstantiated. I’ll look up your book tomorrow at the library
