Hi ho! Rita Skeeter here.

The latest scuttlebutt from the world of wizardry is the return of the Italian-American Voldemort. È ritornato Colui-che-non-deve-essere-nominato! (Picked up my Italian during a long weekend in Pavia, but that’s another story! Wink! Wink!) It turns out that the Melanocorypha Lark Institute for Italian Diasporic Studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is under attack. There’s no reason to be a doubting Thomas about his return or marvel at the riddle of his identity. (And no, it's not Berluska!)

L’Innominabile still evokes fear despite the fact he has been gone for several years. Some of those who suffered under his maleficent reign now become visibly shaken by the mere mention of his attempted return, breaking down in tears and turning on each other as old wounds are opened. A few people have been victims of confundo, impedimenta, and imperio spells, among others. Aiding Colui-che-non-deve-essere-nominatois a small group of minions known as i Mangiamorte, among them Guido A. Mischina and Egidio Centonaia.

The Ministry of Magic has issued a high alert regarding the current actions of l’Innominabile. Minster Kingsley Shacklebolt, a Senior Auror in his own right, stated, “We are deeply concerned with this auto-disinterment. It is a significant threat to the Italian-American community. I call on all good streghe, maghi, fate, gnomi, folletti, and even i monacelli to be vigilant at this time.”

The Institute’s current director, Prof. T. Sean Tummarinari noted the sudden increase in negative incidents concerning the Institute and the return of Colui-che-non-deve-essere-nominato:

"When one has not much to do, one can sometimes be overwhelmed by mischief. “L’ozio è il padre dei vizi,” no? We all need to be occupied in one way or another with something that fulfills us, otherwise we risk falling into a malaise of fictive nostalgia that traps us in a non-existent, mythical past that then transforms itself into a false present, which can only result in the pitfall of delusions of mediocrity. The Melanocorypha Institute continues to thrive as it moves forward."

Good to hear!

Remember ragazzi, there are close to a million and a half reasons not to settle for the return of l’Innominabile! ;)

BACIONI A TUTTI!!!
