Many people were killed while fighting with Fascist soldiers.
In 1992 Rassina was completely flooded by the Arno river.

gollark: not really. can you explain more then?
gollark: But I think I would at least want to ask whoever found an exploit if I managed to fix it or if it's still there.
gollark: Oh well. I haven't received any vulnerability reports for osmarks.tk so I can't really say what I actually did in instances of it - probably because nobody cares more than any actual good security practice on my part - so I can't really point to historical examples of what I did.
gollark: Nobody does *not* really seem to do that.
gollark: If you find some flaw with osmarks.tk™ or something, I would want you to directly report it in a sensible way so I can patch it, and stop meddling with it if I felt you were doing too much stuff.
