Love Benedict Cumberbatch)<br />I didn't know much about the Unification of Italy either until I was there this summer and 'accidentally' found Mazzini's grave and an Italian woman tried to explain who he was - when I came home I looked it up and realized how little I knew.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269572437962741012.post-66130179944018666312012-12-31T05:49:14.555+08:002012-12-31T05:49:14.555+08:00I love the Hobbit stamps!
