    • 1957, Indro Montanelli, “Capitolo quarantaduesimo: Adriano [Forty-second chapter: Hadrian]”, in Storia di Roma [History of Rome], 46th edition, Milan, published 1973, pages 465–466:
      In privato si mostrava scettico, irridente agli dèi e agli oracoli. Ma quando adempieva le sue funzioni di Pontefice Massimo, guai a chi dava segno d'irriverenza. Personalmente, non si sa a cosa credesse. Forse agli astri, perché ogni tanto strologava ed era pieno di superstizioni sulle eclissi e sulle maree.
      In private, he appeared skeptical, derisive of the gods and the oracles. Yet, when performing his duties as pontifex maximus, no one was allowed to show signs of irreverence. No one knows what he personally believed in. Perhaps in the stars, because he would sometimes astrologize, and he was full of superstitions about eclipses and tides.
