Pazzi Conspiracy mood-board because 15th century Florence is best described as a bunch of complete maniacs shoved onto a tricycle going down hill at top speed with no breaks

The oldest door of València'a cathedral, known as Porta de l'Almoina or Porta de Palau. It's easily recognisable because, being the oldest part of the building, it was built in the Romanesque style. Most of the cathedral was built in Gothic style, with some Baroque additions centuries later.

4.1 ONE YEAR LATER,

And still on the 6th of May, new halberdiers find themselves with the opportunity presented to them they have been trying for in the prior year. This means we just had ourselves plentiful new guards (real and false), and though the first edition of our zine is not(!) so new, it is still a community thriving on the fervour of our passion. Grazie mille, merci villmol, merci beaucoup, engraziel, and most importantly— acriter et fideliter.
