        a 250 year old book in six volumes seems an ideal choice for a 7 yo.

        7yo is right, but teach him to think positive. Italy is ahead in the history cycle. Preparing for a new raise. Per aspera ad astra.

        65 changes of government since 1945 probably hasn't helped. Expect an anti EU populist backlash in the near future.
