neg: I Have Dreamed (song) `` I Have Dreamed '' is a show tune from the 1951 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical , The King and I . In the original Broadway production it was sung by Doretta Morrow and Larry Douglas . It has since become a standard , with many artists recording the song . The tune has been accused of similarities to Alfred Newman 's track , `` The Hill of the Brilliant Green Jade '' , from the 1944 film The Keys of the Kingdom starring Gregory Peck , though only seven notes are the same .   In the show , the characters of Lun Tha and Tuptim sing of how they have dreamt of their true love blossoming , as they prepare to escape from the King 's palace . This is in contrast to the subdued mood of the song `` We Kiss in a Shadow '' , when they fear that the King would know about their love .   `` I Have Dreamed '' was added to the score of The King and I during its out-of-town tryout run . The song was recorded for the soundtrack of the 1956 film version of The King and I but ultimately no footage was shot to feature `` I Have Dreamed , '' with the song being featured in the film only in the incidental music prior to the `` We Kiss in a Shadow '' sequence . However `` I Have Dreamed '' is featured on the movie soundtrack album .

After three years in the army in the early 1950s Dorsey returned to acting , with several minor stage roles on the UK provincial theatre circuit . The scarcity of acting work led to a career change to the publicity business , and Dorsey subsequently did the publicity in London for such performers as Kenny Ball , Acker Bilk and The Yardbirds .

After the series ended , Dorsey , like many of his former Number 96 co-stars , had a guest starring role in school-based drama Glenview High ( 1977 ) .

neg: The Essential Michael Nyman Band The Essential Michael Nyman Band is a studio album featuring a collection of music by Michael Nyman written for the films of Peter Greenaway and newly performed by the Michael Nyman Band . It is the seventeenth album release by Nyman . The album features liner notes by Annette Morreau , who describes the album as `` a summation and digest of ten years of progress in the performance of music by a composer -- a composer with whom , so evidently , a group of friends and expert musicians intimately identify their total commitment , virtuosity , and joyous enthusiasm . ''   As the works on the album were written as concert pieces before being transmuted into film music , some of the selections , particularly `` Chasing Sheep Is Best Left to Shepherds '' contain more material than their film versions , and some are very different in style , such as `` An Eye for Optical Theory '' , with a tempo more than double from its original in The Draughtsman 's Contract . The other films from which the music is derived are A Zed & Two Noughts ( where it was originally not performed by the Michael Nyman Band ) , Drowning By Numbers , The Cook The Thief His Wife & Her Lover , Making a Splash , and Prospero 's Books .   Nyman created a similar album in 2005 with The Composer 's Cut Series Vol . II : Nyman/Greenaway Revisited . Fan reaction has generally been that The Essential Michael Nyman Band is the superior album .

During the next two years Earp was arrested for stealing a horse , escaped from jail , sued twice , and was arrested and fined three times during the course of 1872 for `` keeping and being found in a house of ill-fame '' . His third arrest was subject of a lengthy account in the `` Daily Transcript '' which referred to him as an `` old offender '' and nicknamed him the `` Peoria Bummer '' .   By 1874 he had arrived in the cattle boomtown of Wichita , Kansas where his brother had opened a brothel . On April 21 , 1875 he was appointed to the Wichita police force , and developed a solid reputation as a lawman . In April 1876 he was dismissed from his position as a lawman following an altercation with a political opponent of his boss which led to him being fined $ 30 . In 1876 , he followed his brother James to Dodge City , Kansas , where he became an assistant city marshal . In winter 1878 , he went to Texas to track down an outlaw and met John `` Doc '' Holliday , whom Earp later credited with saving his life .   Earp moved constantly throughout his life from one boomtown to another . He left Dodge City in 1879 and moved to Tombstone with his brothers James and Virgil , where a silver boom was underway . There , the Earps clashed with a loose federation of outlaws known as the Cowboys . Wyatt , Virgil , and their younger brother Morgan held various law enforcement positions that put them in conflict with Tom and Frank McLaury , and Ike and Billy Clanton , who threatened on several occasions to kill the Earps . The conflict escalated over the next year , culminating on October 26 , 1881 in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral , in which the Earps and Holliday killed three of the Cowboys . In the next five months , Virgil was ambushed and maimed , and Morgan was assassinated . Pursuing a vendetta , Wyatt , his brother Warren , Holliday , and others formed a federal posse that killed three of the Cowboys whom they thought responsible . Wyatt was never wounded in any of the gunfights in which he took part , unlike his brothers Virgil and James , or his friend , Doc Holliday , which only added to his mystique after his death .   Earp was a lifelong gambler and was always looking for a quick way to make money . After leaving Tombstone , Earp went to San Francisco where he reunited with Josephine Earp . She became his common-law wife . They joined a gold rush to Eagle City , Idaho , where they owned mining interests and a saloon . They left there to race horses and open a saloon during a real estate boom in San Diego , California . Back in San Francisco , Wyatt raced horses again , but his reputation suffered irreparably when he refereed the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey boxing match and called a foul that led many to believe that he fixed the fight . They moved briefly to Yuma , Arizona before joining the Nome Gold Rush in 1899 . In partnership with Charlie Hoxie they opened a two-story saloon called the Dexter and made an estimated $ 80,000 ( about $ 2 million in 2017 dollars ) . Returning to the lower 48 , they opened another saloon in Tonopah , Nevada , the site of a new gold find . In about 1911 , Earp began working several mining claims in Vidal , California , retiring in the hot summers with Josephine to Los Angeles .   Wyatt Earp died on January 13 , 1929 . He was known as a Western lawman , gunfighter , and boxing referee . He had a notorious reputation for both his handling of the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight and his role in the O.K. Corral gunfight . This only began to change after his death when an extremely flattering biography was published in 1931 . It became a bestseller and created his reputation as a fearless lawman . Since then , Earp has been the subject of and model for numerous films , TV shows , biographies , and works of fiction that have increased his notoriety . He did , however , live to see himself being portrayed in the film Wild Bill Hickok , released in 1923 . Long after his death , he has many devoted detractors and admirers . Earp 's modern-day reputation is that of the Old West 's `` toughest and deadliest gunman of his day . ''

neg: Old Indiana County Courthouse The Old Indiana County Courthouse is a former courthouse located in Indiana , Indiana County , Pennsylvania . The courthouse was built between 1869 and 1870 and designed by local architect James W. Drum . It was the second courthouse to serve the county , with the first demolished in 1868 . The final cost of the project was $ 150,000 . A dedication ceremony took place on December 19 , 1870 . Former Governor of Pennsylvania William F. Johnston spoke at the ceremony .   The architecture , done in the Second Empire Italianate style , is primarily red brick and stone . The roof was designed in the Mansard style . The courthouse features a gold leaf cupola clocktower with four faces . The main courtroom , located on the second floor measured 100 ft by 82 ft , with a 30 ft ceiling .   The large clock in the cupola was the largest in the county at the time . It was manufactured by Howard Clock Company of Boston and Springfield , Ohio . The four faces were each 7 ft in diameter . The clock required winding once a week , a 15-minute process . Today the clock runs on a new digital style , that turns the hands on the faces of the clock .   A jail and sheriff 's residence was constructed next door in 1879 , with a bridge that connected it to the courthouse to transport prisoners . At least six individuals were hung in the court 's jailyard , between 1882 and 1913 .   On September 24 , 1945 , a picture of Indiana-native Jimmy Stewart in front of the courthouse was featured on the cover of Life magazine . John F. Kennedy gave a speech outside the courthouse on October 15 , 1960 while campaigning during the presidential election . In the rafters above the court room , there is a painted `` JFK '' . As to whether this was from JFK himself is unknown .   The courthouse held its final session on November 11 , 1970 . After being replaced by the newer building , the now `` old '' Courthouse fell into disuse and was scheduled for demolition . The county commissioners offered a restoration-lease agreement to interested parties . On January 3 , 1972 , the commissioners approved an agreement with the National Bank of the Commonwealth , who planned to renovate the building for administrative use . NBOC was required to spend $ 100,000 in restoration over the initial three-year lease period in order to be eligible for a 47-year extension . The bank agreed to pay $ 12,000 total in taxes and rent for use of the courthouse , including the jail next door when it was vacated .   Today the entire bell tower is supported by scaffolding set up in the main court room of the building , due to the age of the building 's supports . This area is not seen by visitors very often .   The courthouse was later listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 29 , 1974 . Currently the building serves as administrative offices for First Commonwealth Financial .   The courthouse is featured in the Miniature Railroad & Village at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh .

neg: Frank Loving Frank Loving , sometimes called `` Cockeyed '' Frank Loving ( 1860 -- April 21 , 1882 ) was an Old West gambler and gunman . His two known gunfights were two of the better-known and well-publicized shootouts of the day , although over time they have become obscure .   Loving was born in Jackson County , Missouri , and later moved with his family to Texas , where his father died in the early 1870s . He began making his living as a professional gambler by his late teens , frequenting saloons and eventually landing in Dodge City , Kansas . Once settled in Dodge City , Loving began to frequent the Long Branch Saloon , where he became associated with other well-known gamblers , gunmen , and lawmen , to include Doc Holliday , Bat Masterson , Wyatt Earp , Charlie Bassett , and John Allen , with a friendship developing between gunman/gambler Levi Richardson and him . He also became good friends with Long Branch Saloon owner Chalkley Beeson .

neg: Frank Dalton Frank Dalton ( June 8 , 1859 -- November 27 , 1887 ) was a Deputy US Marshal of the Old West under Judge Isaac Parker ( the hangin ' judge ) , for Oklahoma Territory , as well as the older brother to the members of the Dalton Gang , in addition to being the brother to William M. Dalton , once a member of California legislature , and later an outlaw and leader of the Doolin Dalton gang alongside Bill Doolin . Frank Dalton is not to be confused with J. Frank Dalton , who made many claims to be famous people , including his claim of being Frank Dalton , and later Jesse James .   Dalton became , without much effort , the success story of the Dalton family . He was commissioned as a Deputy US Marshal , serving under Judge Parker , and quickly developed a reputation as being a brave lawman . Based out of Fort Smith , Arkansas , Dalton was involved in a number of shootouts and high risk arrests over a three-year period . However , on November 27 , 1887 , he and Deputy J.R. Cole were on the trail of outlaw Dave Smith , wanted for horse theft . As they approached Smith 's camp , Smith fired a shot from a rifle , hitting Dalton in the chest . Deputy Cole returned fire , killing Smith , but was then shot and wounded by a Smith cohort . Cole was able to make his escape , however , believing Dalton was dead . Dalton , however , was still alive , and engaged the outlaws in a short gunbattle . One of Smith 's cohorts was wounded , and a woman who was in the camp was killed during the crossfire . Frank Dalton was dead by the time Deputy Cole returned with a posse , having been killed with two additional rifle shots by outlaw Will Towerly . The outlaw wounded by Dalton never revealed his own name . He died shortly thereafter , but not before naming Towerly as Frank Dalton 's murderer . A newspaper of the time indicated Dalton had begged Towerly not to kill him , saying he was already dying . However that was a rumour , and there were no witnesses to the crime who ever made that statement . Towerly was killed one month later by Deputy William Moody and Deputy US Marshal Ed Stokley . Stokley was also killed during the gunfight . Dalton was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Coffeyville , Kansas , not far from the graves of his two outlaw brothers , Grat and Bob . ( One can see the graves of Bob , and Grat just to the left of Frank 's grave about 30 yards back with the original hitching post that they tied their horses to )   The actor Robert Lansing played Frank Dalton in the NBC television series The Outlaws in a two-part episode `` The Daltons Must Die '' , which aired early in 1961 .

neg: Clay County Savings Association Building The Clay County Savings Association in Liberty , Missouri , was robbed on February 13 , 1866 , making it one of the earliest documented daylight bank robberies . The robbers escaped with at least $ 60,000 and killed a bystander outside . The robbery is believed to have been conducted by a group of former Confederate guerrillas , possibly led by Jesse James or Archie Clement , which became known as the James -- Younger Gang .   According to accounts of the day :  On the afternoon of February 13 , 1866 , `` some ten or twelve persons rode into town '' and milled outside the Clay County Savings Association building .  Two of the riders entered the bank , which was staffed only by the head cashier , Greenup Bird , and his son , William Bird , who was a bank clerk .  After asking to change a $ 10 bill , the men drew revolvers and demanded money .  William loaded the robbers ' feed sack with gold , currency , bonds , and tax stamps .  The two Birds were herded into the bank 's vault , and the robbers left the building .  As the robbers mounted to ride away , shots were fired . Accounts differ : problems with mounting a horse caused a `` commotion '' during which someone opened fire , or perhaps one of the gang fired `` without any sort of provocation whatever '' . George `` Jolly '' Wymore , a 19-year-old student from William Jewell College who was across the street , was killed by a bullet .  The gang rode away , pursued after a time by a posse of `` outraged `` ref name = History / > townspeople who `` could procure arms and horses '' .  The entire maneuver lasted no more than 15 minutes .   In total , the robbers collected at least $ 60,000 . Reportedly they collected government bonds worth $ 42,000 to $ 45,000 , $ 518 in tax stamps , gold , silver coins , and banknotes .   The bank offered a $ 5,000 reward for recovery of the money . Attempts to track the robbers were hindered by snow that covered their tracks . Articles in local newspapers implicated both former Confederate bushwackers and Kansas Redlegs of the crime . Later , some townspeople admitted to recognizing some of the robbers but withholding the information out of fear . The robbers were never caught , and no money was ever recovered . The Association eventually settled with creditors for 60 cents on the dollar and closed .   The building is located at 104 East Franklin Street , a block northeast of the Clay County Courthouse . It was built in 1859 , and is a two-story , Federal style rectangular brick building with a gable roof . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 .

neg: Posse Comitatus Act The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law ( , original at ) signed on June 18 , 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes . The purpose of the act -- in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 -- is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States . It was passed as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction , and was subsequently updated in 1956 and 1981 .   The Act only specifically applies to the United States Army and , as amended in 1956 , the United States Air Force . While the Act does not explicitly mention the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps , the Department of the Navy has prescribed regulations that are generally construed to give the Act force with respect to those services as well . The Act does not apply to the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state 's governor . The United States Coast Guard , which operates under the Department of Homeland Security , is not covered by the Posse Comitatus Act either , primarily because although the Coast Guard is an armed service , it also has both a maritime law enforcement mission and a federal regulatory agency mission .   The title of the act comes from the legal concept of Posse comitatus , the authority under which a county sheriff , or other law officer , conscripts any able-bodied man to assist him in keeping the peace .

neg: The United States of Lyncherdom `` The United States of Lyncherdom '' is an essay by Mark Twain written in 1901 . He was prompted to write it after the lynchings of Will Godley , his grandfather French Godley , and Eugene Carter ( also known as Barrett ) . They were accused in the rape and murder of Gazelle Wild ( or Casselle Wilds ) on August 19 , 1901 , in Pierce City , Missouri , located in Twain 's home state . The work blames lynching in the United States on the herd mentality that prevails among Americans . Twain decided that the country was not ready for the essay , and shelved it . A redacted version was finally published in 1923 , when Twain 's literary executor , Albert Bigelow Paine , slipped it into a posthumous collection , Europe and Elsewhere .   Twain mentions two law enforcement officials who had recently stopped lynchings . One was Sheriff Joseph Merrill of Carroll County , Georgia , and the other was Thomas Beloat of Gibson County , Indiana .

neg: Justice courts (Oregon) Justice courts are courts of law in Oregon with jurisdiction within their county with the circuit court in criminal prosecutions except felony trials . They are held by a justice of the peace . These courts are outside the state-funded court system . Their jurisdiction is limited to traffic , boating , wildlife and other minor violations , but they may handle city ordinance violations if an agreement exists with a city . Justice courts do not have jurisdiction over certain types of civil cases , including disputes over title to real estate , false imprisonment , libel , slander and malicious prosecution .   Justice courts were established in Oregon when the region was governed by the Oregon Provisional Government prior to the creation of the Oregon Territory in 1848 , with the first justice of the peace chosen in 1847 . When Oregon became a state in 1859 , justice courts continued in every county . In the second half of the twentieth century , justice courts declined , but the circuit courts were not able to handle the volume of cases as quickly as the justice courts .   There are currently thirty justice courts operating in twenty counties , which are conducted using the mode of proceeding and rules of evidence similar to those used in the circuit courts . The court district boundaries are established and authorized by boards of county commissioners .

neg: Tenebrae (film) Tenebrae ( also known as Tenebre ) is a 1982 English-language Italian giallo film written and directed by Dario Argento . The film stars Anthony Franciosa as American author Peter Neal , who -- while in Rome promoting his latest murder-mystery novel -- becomes embroiled in the search for a serial killer who may have been inspired to kill by the novel . John Saxon and Daria Nicolodi co-star as Neal 's agent and assistant ; Giuliano Gemma and Carola Stagnaro appear as detectives investigating the murders . John Steiner , Veronica Lario and Mirella D'Angelo also feature . The film has been described as exploring themes of dualism and sexual aberration , and has strong metafictional elements ; some commentators consider Tenebrae to be a direct reaction by Argento to criticism of his previous work , most especially his depictions of murders of beautiful women .   After Argento had experimented with pure supernatural horror with 1977 's Suspiria and 1980 's Inferno , Tenebrae represented the filmmaker 's return to the giallo horror subgenre , which he had helped popularize in the 1970s . Argento was inspired by a series of incidents which saw an obsessed fan telephone the director to criticise him for the damaging psychological effects of his previous work . The telephone calls culminated in death threats towards Argento , who channelled the experience into the writing of Tenebrae . The director also wanted to explore the senselessness of killings he had witnessed and heard about while staying in Los Angeles in 1980 , and his feeling at the time that true horror came from those who wanted `` to kill for nothing '' .   Shot on location in Rome and at Elios Studios , Tenebrae utilised mostly modern-looking locations and sets to help Argento realise his intent that the film reflect a near-future with a diminished population ; the director filmed none of the historical landmarks that usually featured in films set in Rome . Employing director of photography Luciano Tovoli , Argento also intended that the film simulate the stark , realistic lighting featured in television police shows at the time ; production designer Giuseppe Bassa created supporting environments that were cold and austere , with sharp angles and modernistic spaces . Several former members of Italian rock band Goblin provided Tenebraes music , a synth-heavy score inspired by rock and disco music .   Tenebrae was a modest success in Italy ; it reached theatres with little controversy after Argento made cuts to one of the most violent scenes . However , in the United Kingdom , it was added to the infamous list of `` video nasties '' and banned from sale until 1999 . The film 's theatrical distribution in the United States was delayed until 1984 , when it was released in a heavily censored version under the title Unsane . In its cut form , Tenebrae received a mostly negative critical reception , but the original , fully restored version later became widely available for reappraisal ; it is considered by some to be one of Argento 's best thrillers . The film critic and author Maitland McDonagh said that it was `` in many respects ... the finest film that Argento has ever made '' .

neg: Abruzzo Abruzzo ( -LSB- aˈbruttso -RSB- ) is a region of Italy in Southern Italy , with an area of 10,763 square km ( 4,156 sq mi ) and a population of 1.3 million . Its western border lies 80 km east of Rome . The region is divided into the four provinces of L'Aquila , Teramo , Pescara , and Chieti . Abruzzo borders the region of Marche to the north , Lazio to the west and south-west , Molise to the south-east , and the Adriatic Sea to the east . Geographically , Abruzzo is divided into a mountainous area to the west , which includes the Gran Sasso D'italia , and a coastal area to the east with beaches on the Adriatic sea . Abruzzo is considered culturally , linguistically , and historically a region of Southern Italy , although geographically it may also be considered central . The Italian Statistical Authority ( ISTAT ) deems it to be part of Southern Italy , partially because of Abruzzo 's historic association with the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies .   Abruzzo is known as `` the greenest region in Europe '' as one third of its territory , the largest in Europe , is set aside as national parks and protected nature reserves : there are three national parks , one regional park , and 38 protected nature reserves . These ensure the survival of 75 % of Europe 's living species including rare species , such as the small wading dotterel , golden eagle , the Abruzzo ( or Abruzzese ) chamois , Apennine wolf , and Marsican brown bear . Abruzzo is also home to Calderone , Europe 's southernmost glacier .   Visiting nineteenth-century Italian diplomat and journalist Primo Levi ( to not confuse with the writer and survivor of the Holocaust , Primo Levi ) said that `` forte e gentile '' ( strong and gentle ) best describes the beauty of the region and the character of its people . `` Forte e gentile '' has since become the motto of the region and its inhabitants .

neg: The Age of the Medici The Age of the Medici , originally released in Italy as L'età di Cosimo de Medici ( The Age of Cosimo de Medici ) , is a 1973 3-part TV series about the Renaissance in Florence , directed by Roberto Rossellini . The series was shot in English in the hope of securing a North American release , which it failed to achieve , and was later dubbed into Italian and shown on state television . The films are : Cosimo de Medici , The Power of Cosimo and Leon Battista Alberti : Humanism . It is Fred Ward 's debut role .   Like several other TV series directed by Rossellini during the 1970s , The Age of the Medici is a form of docudrama , in which historical information is communicated via dramatized conversations between figures from history , and between ordinary people . They are unabashedly `` teaching films . '' As Dave Kehr explains , `` The dialogue is bluntly didactic , with characters telling one another things they would already know entirely for the benefit of the audience ... . Rossellini is n't asking his viewers to identify with his characters or become caught up in their personal dramas ... Instead he creates a detached perspective . '' Each scene plays out in a single long take , with the camera slowly moving and zooming to create different framings of the action , or , as Kehr puts it , `` to close in on details or investigate relationships '' .   When the films debuted in New York 's Public Theater in 1973 , New York Times movie critic Vincent Canby noted that while not difficult , the austere style of the films , `` as well as Rossellini 's total lack of concern for what might be called performance , take some getting used to . Yet once you 've grasped the method and the rhythm of the films , they are a ravishingly beautiful experience '' :   The actors make few attempts to act . They recite as they walk about magnificent locations , sounding and looking like ferociously gifted dress-extras . The talk has been rather flatly dubbed into English so that it 's not always possible to tell who is speaking.Forget these problems , though .

neg: Sciantosa In Italian theatrical culture , the term sciantosa ( pl. : `` sciantose '' ) refers to a stock character that developed from the late 19th Century through the early 20th Century in such popular genres such as café-concert , variety show , avanspettacolo , and revue . The term is a distortion of the French word chanteuse ( feminine form of `` singer '' ) , and was originally used for female singers that performed opera or operetta arias in café-chantant venues . As such , the `` sciantosa '' was a sort of scaled-down version of the opera `` diva '' . Later on , the term acquired further implications , most notably that of femme fatale . Popular sciantose often had ( or pretended to have ) mysterious and exotic traits , such as a foreign accent , a turbulent past , or romantic affairs with lovers from the jet set . To emphasize their reputation of divas , prominent sciantose hired a claque to follow their shows .   Some of the most well known sciantose were Anna Fougez , Gilda Mignonette , Olimpia D'Avigny , and Yvonne De Fleuriel .   With the advent of cinema and television , many forms of popular theatrical shows faded , and so did the `` sciantosa '' archetype , whose traits were partially transferred to new roles such as the soubrette or the showgirl .   The 1971 film La Sciantosa , by director Alfredo Giannetti , portrays a typical sciantosa ( played by Anna Magnani ) .

neg: Kingdom of Italy The Kingdom of Italy ( Regno d'Italia ) was a state founded from 1861 , when King Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia was proclaimed King of Italy , to 1946 , when a constitutional referendum led civil discontent to abandon the monarchy and form the Italian Republic . The state was founded as a result of the unification of Italy under the influence of the Kingdom of Sardinia , which can be considered its legal predecessor state .   Italy declared war on Austria in alliance with Prussia in 1866 and received the region of Veneto following their victory . Italian troops entered Rome in 1870 , ending more than one thousand years of Papal temporal power . Italy entered into a Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1882 , following strong disagreements with France about the respective colonial expansions . However , even if relations with Berlin became very friendly , the alliance with Vienna remained purely formal , as the Italians were keen to acquire Trentino and Trieste , corners of the Austria-Hungary populated by Italians . So , in 1915 , Italy accepted the British invitation to join the Allies in World War I because the western allies promised territorial compensation ( at the expense of Austria-Hungary ) for participation that were more generous than Vienna 's offer in exchange for Italian neutrality . Victory in the war gave Italy a permanent seat in the Council of the League of Nations .   `` Fascist Italy '' is the era of National Fascist Party government from 1922 to 1943 with Benito Mussolini as head of government . The fascists imposed authoritarian rule and crushed the political and intellectual opposition , while promoting economic modernization , traditional social values , and a rapprochement with the Roman Catholic Church . According to Payne ( 1996 ) , '' -LSB- the -RSB- Fascist government passed through several relatively distinct phases '' . The first phase ( 1923 -- 1925 ) was nominally a continuation of the parliamentary system , albeit with a `` legally-organized executive dictatorship '' . Then came the second phase , `` the construction of the Fascist dictatorship proper , from 1925 to 1929 '' . The third phase , with less activism , was 1929 to 1934 . The fourth phase , 1935 -- 1940 , was characterized by an aggressive foreign policy ; war against Ethiopia , which was launched from Eritrea and Italian Somaliland ; confrontations with the League of Nations sanctions ; growing economic autarchy ; and semi-National Socialization . The war itself ( 1940 -- 1943 ) was the fifth phase with its disasters and defeats , while the rump Salò government under German control was the final stage ( 1943 -- 1945 ) .   Italy was allied with National Socialist Germany in World War II until 1943 . It switched sides to the Allies after ousting Mussolini and shutting down the Fascist party in areas ( south of Rome ) controlled by the Allied invaders . The remnant fascist state in northern Italy that continued fighting against the Allies was a puppet state of Germany , the `` Italian Social Republic '' , still led by Mussolini and his Fascist loyalists . Shortly after the war , civil discontent led to the constitutional referendum of 1946 on whether Italy would remain a monarchy or become a republic . Italians decided to abandon the monarchy and form the Italian Republic , the present-day Italian state .

neg: Chianti A Chianti wine -LSB- ` kjanti -RSB- is any wine produced in the Chianti region , in central Tuscany , Italy . It was historically associated with a squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket , called a fiasco ( `` flask '' ; pl . fiaschi ) ; however , the fiasco is only used by a few makers of the wine now ; most Chianti is now bottled in more standard shaped wine bottles . Baron Bettino Ricasoli ( later Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy ) created the Chianti recipe of 70 % Sangiovese , 15 % Canaiolo and 15 % Malvasia bianca in the middle of the 19th century .   The first definition of a wine-area called Chianti was made in 1716 . It described the area near the villages of Gaiole , Castellina and Radda ; the so-called Lega del Chianti and later Provincia del Chianti ( Chianti province ) . In 1932 the Chianti area was completely re-drawn and divided in seven sub-areas : Classico , Colli Aretini , Colli Fiorentini , Colline Pisane , Colli Senesi , Montalbano and Rùfina . Most of the villages that in 1932 were suddenly included in the new Chianti Classico area added in Chianti to their name-such as Greve in Chianti which amended its name in 1972 . Wines labelled `` Chianti Classico '' come from the biggest sub-area of Chianti , that includes the original Chianti heartland . Only Chianti from this sub-zone may boast the black rooster seal ( known in Italian as a gallo nero ) on the neck of the bottle , which indicates that the producer of the wine is a member of the Chianti Classico Consortium , the local association of producers . Other variants , with the exception of Rufina from the north-east side of Florence and Montalbano in the south of Pistoia , originate in the respective named provinces : Siena for the Colli Senesi , Florence for the Colli Fiorentini , Arezzo for the Colli Aretini and Pisa for the Colline Pisane . In 1996 part of the Colli Fiorentini sub-area was renamed Montespertoli .   During the 1970s producers started to reduce the quantity of white grapes in Chianti . In 1995 it became legal to produce a Chianti with 100 % Sangiovese . For a wine to retain the name of Chianti , it must be produced with at least 80 % Sangiovese grapes . Aged Chianti ( 38 months instead of 4 -- 7 ) , may be labelled as Riserva . Chianti that meets more stringent requirements ( lower yield , higher alcohol content and dry extract ) may be labelled as Chianti Superiore , although Chianti from the `` Classico '' sub-area is not allowed in any event to be labelled as `` Superiore '' .

neg: Campania Campania ( -LSB- kamˈpaːnja -RSB- ) is a region in Southern Italy . The region at the end of 2014 had a population of around 5,869,000 people , making it the third-most-populous region of Italy ; its total area of 13590 km ² makes it the most densely populated region in the country . Located on the Italian Peninsula , with the Mediterranean Sea to the west , it includes the small Phlegraean Islands and Capri for administration as part of the region .   Campania was colonised by Ancient Greeks and was part of Magna Græcia . During the Roman era , the area maintained a Greco-Roman culture . The capital city of Campania is Naples . Campania is rich in culture , especially in regard to gastronomy , music , architecture , archeological and ancient sites such as Pompeii , Herculaneum , Paestum and Velia . The name of Campania itself is derived from Latin , as the Romans knew the region as Campania felix , which translates into English as `` fertile countryside '' . The rich natural sights of Campania make it highly important in the tourism industry , especially along the Amalfi Coast , Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri .

neg: Saturday Night Live Samurai In the early years of Saturday Night Live , John Belushi portrayed an archetypal samurai -- he had a dedicated concept of honor , spoke only ( mock ) Japanese , and wielded a katana . Sketches featuring the character showed him in different occupations that would not be expected for a samurai . He always performed his tasks perfectly , despite scaring his clients quite a few times . The character was modeled after Toshiro Mifune 's character in Akira Kurosawa 's Yojimbo .   Samurai Futaba would probably not have become a recurring character if not for Buck Henry 's insistence that there be a second sketch featuring him when he first hosted on January 17 , 1976 . It is perhaps due to these origins that it became standard practice on SNL to feature a Samurai sketch every time Henry hosted , until the time Belushi left the cast . Except for `` Samurai BMOC '' , each time Henry would play the same character , Mr. Dantley .   In issue # 74 of Marvel Team-Up ( cover dated October , 1978 ) , Belushi ( in character as Samurai Futaba ) dueled the Marvel Comics supervillain Silver Samurai . In the story , the Silver Samurai sought to recover a ring containing a teleportation device that had inadvertently come into Belushi 's possession . The Samurai also appears briefly in issue # 54 of The Sandman .
