The battle of Adwa is among the most famous battles in history. Hard to call rare. So instead, this episode is about an obelisk. All joking not aside, everything, of course, is a matter of perspective. To Evan, for example, Italy's greatest shame is Francesco.

It took a great deal of effort to produce this episode. Lost A roll, limited amount of B roll, super dusty clips, just to name a few. We tried to patch up the holes with some historic footage, as well as with shots from Francesco taken on a rainy day in Milan. I hope you find the visuals... okay. ;)

Enjoy your weekend!

Is this Obelisk Italy's Greatest Shame?

The battle of Adwa is among the most famous battles in history. Hard to call rare. So instead, I want to talk about an obelisk. All joking not aside, everything, of course, is a matter of perspective. To me, for example, Italy's greatest shame is Francesco (thanks for filming the scenes in Milan, buddy). It took a lot of work salvaging this episode from the lost footage, so a huge thank you to Kata for all her effort.

I think you held the episode together just fine. They say third times the charm though, so cheers to that. Fantastic work as always RE team.

Dude. I am constantly amazed how you find these rare stories and bring them back! You highlight those shameful things that humans do for whatever stupid reason and you slap them back in the face of today with a shameless "Hell ya! Check this out!" screech. These stories are what history forgets all too often. You do an amazing job of bringing them back to us. Thank you!
