Reposted by Tim HorvathA Plunge Into Calvino @aplungeintocalvino.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Italo Calvino was born 102 years ago today. He was a writer of delights, a fighter of fascism, and possessor of a mind always curious and subtle. Although he died in 1985, he was so far ahead of his times that his work feels like a map of our Invisible Cities and a guide to our Crossed Destinies. 1195
