Rabbia e vendetta esplodono in un conflitto a fuoco nei pressi di Labaro. Il forte risentimento verso i traditori caratterizza l'ultimo periodo dei Nar. Una furia cieca che, nei primi anni Ottanta, porterà alla fine del gruppo terroristico di estrema destra che segnò un punto di svolta nell'ambito dell'eversione nera e di rottura nei confronti dei propri padri politici.

Nel settembre del 1980, per scampare ai mandati di cattura che hanno investito tutto il mondo della destra eversiva dopo la strage di Bologna, Alessandro Alibrandi sbarca in Libano, dove fa esperienza di combattimento su un autentico fronte di guerra, approdando in Libano. A suo ritorno, dopo gli arresti dei fratelli Fioravanti, stringe legami sempre più forti con esponenti della Banda della Magliana   Una produzione Emons Record e GOG edizioni in media partnership con OPEN Il podcast è tratto dall'omonimo libro di Nicola Ventura e David Barra pubblicato da GOG   Materiali audio Radio Radicale Si ringrazia Valerio Bosco per il doppiaggio di Alessandro Pucci Learn more about your ad choices.

Il 29 settembre 1977 una Mini bianca passa per piazza Igea a Roma e spara numerosi colpi d'arma da fuoco contro un gruppo di ragazzi, ferendo gravemente la diciannovenne Elena Pacinelli, che morirà dopo mesi di sofferenza. Piazza Igea (oggi piazza Walter Rossi) era il ritrovo di attivisti di sinistra, crocevia tra le zone della Balduina, Monte Mario e Vigna Clara, quartieri feudo dell'estrema destra romana. Le manifestazioni di protesta, vedranno fronteggiarsi compagni e neofascisti. Seguirà un altro epilogo irreparabile.

La storia di Alessandro “Alì” Alibrandi inizia a Roma, il 12 giugno 1960. Figlio di un giudice istruttore simpatizzante della destra missina, a soli quindici anni si fa notare per la ferocia con cui si scaglia contro i gruppi di sinistra. È spesso coinvolto in alcuni degli episodi più violenti degli sconti tra fascisti e compagni. Giovanissimo si ritrova schedato tra le pagine dei dossier antifascisti, e con la violenza cresce tra le fila nemiche la fama e l'immagine del fascista impunito, protetto da un padre potente e “nero” come il figlio.   Una produzione Emons Record e GOG edizioni in media partnership con OPEN Il podcast è tratto dall'omonimo libro di Nicola Ventura e David Barra pubblicato da GOG   Materiali audio Radio Radicale Si ringraziano Piero Bardash, Valerio Bosco e Lorenzo Loreti per i doppiaggi Learn more about your ad choices.

Who is about to drop the crime thriller of the year with Human Error.  Inspired by actual events, 9Network's new drama series, Human Error, follows Detective Holly O'Rourke (Leeanna Walsman) and her homicide team as a seemingly open-and-shut murder investigation threatens to destroy her career, her family, and her faith in justice.

We will unpack her choices as a female law enforcer and how she made choices to make sure her character felt real.  This is a great opportunity to talk about John Edwards and Dan Edwards. The legends of TV content creation with popular series like Love My Way and Secret Life of us.  We will talk about series 2 and where Leeanna wants to go with her career after landing this career defining role.  There is some answer about the shows delay and how they used and extra year to polish this premium drama. This is a really fun catch up and  some exciting revelations along the ways So sit back and relax as we unpack Human Error which starts Wednesday 11th of September on Channel Nine. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Growing up, actor Pia Miranda would spend her weekday afternoons watching footy and drinking green cordial with her Irish-Australian grandparents. On weekends, she'd be baking and enduring exorcisms with her Sicilian Nonna. The Looking for Alibrandi star chats with Lizzy Hoo about how her grandparents' stories shaped her life, holding onto tradition, and how attitudes to Italians in Australia have changed over the generations.

For more than twenty-five years, Pia Miranda has been a household name, gracing screens big and small with her talent. From her iconic role in Looking for Alibrandi, she's also won Survivor, sung in a mask, danced with the stars, had two children with a husband she adores, and released her memoir Finding My Bella Vita.  In this episode of Three Food Memories, Pia opens up about her experiences on set, from being pushed as a young actor to creating a safe space for those fresh to the industry. She also shares an “interesting” two-ingredient salad recipe, the origins of her surprising love of Melbourne Bitter, and fond memories of lining up with cousins à la Oliver Twist for her Nanna's lamb shank soup. Pia's social cause is Dolly's Dream, because as she says “Not everyone has the capacity to be resilient, what we should do is change our behaviour so everyone can feel included.”Find out more about Dolly's Dream and Do it for Dolly Day here: dollysdream.org.auProduced and edited by Lauren McWhirterMusic by Russell TorranceTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavasEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!

The tomato was dismissed as poison for 200 years in Italy, though it's now celebrated as a staple of its cuisine. Italian migration to Australia helped make the tomato a mainstream ingredient here. Learn about the people who grow it, preserve it or cook it — whether it's Italian Australians bottling passata in their ‘second kitchen' (garage) in Sydney, the Cambodian refugee family growing heirloom tomatoes on a former zoo, or the Indigenous café owner serving bush tomatoes on her menu. This episode features Sharon Winsor, Ngemba Weilwan woman and founder of Indigiearth and Warakirri Dining; Dr Cecilia Leong-Salobir, food historian and author; Joseph Vargetto, chef and owner of Mister Bianco; and Leakkhena Ma, farmer at Goldenfield. The Looking for Alibrandi footage was generously provided by Robyn Kershaw Productions. Image by Alana Dimou.

TRANSCRIPT HERE  Steph is the luckiest daughter to be able to interview her retired engineer father, Frank (or Franco) Fornasier, on the podcast today, as they reflect on the film and play Looking for Alibrandi (2000 and 2022 respectively). Frank tells Steph what it was like growing up in Brisbane as an Italian boy with an extremely religious mother, and tyrannical unaffectionate father. Topics include religion, early immigration days, and wine that tastes like pus. This episode is dedicated to Luigia Fornasier, aka Nonnie (14/11/17 - 13/4/2010). We still miss your food and sloppy cheek kisses.

“You know, for me, I loved reading, but I didn't exist on those pages and when a child of any age doesn't exist in our mainstream, in our books, in our stories, they start believing they're not important.”  – Melina Marchetta  Looking for Alibrandi broke new ground with its honest and empowered portrait of an Italian-Australian teen coming of age in 1990s inner Sydney, speaking authentically about systemic racism in Australia from a migrant perspective.   For generations of teens, the beloved novel (and later cult movie) is a foundational story. Its exploration of family, womanhood, first love, identity and othering still resonates with readers today, 30 years after its release.  Now, Melina Marchetta's novel has been adapted for the stage. In this special collaboration between the Wheeler Centre and Malthouse Theatre, Marchetta joined playwright Vidya Rajan, director Stephen Nicolazzo, and the film's star Pia Miranda to discuss Looking for Alibrandi's journey from page to screen to stage, the art of adaptation, and the enduring impact of this Australian classic.   This conversation was hosted by Brodie Lancaster and recorded at the Malthouse Theatre on 18 July 2022.  The bookseller was Hill of Content Bookshop.  Music: Pastel Colours by Sarah, The Illstrumentalist Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the podcast I have the latest unmasked celebrity from 'Channel Ten's' 'The Masked Singer Australia' and this guest has been in our cinemas and on our TV screens for decades. It's 'Pia Miranda!' While the thong was an unusual choice for the pint sized Australian actor, it was a great disguise because no one seem to guess who was behind the mask. I thought 'Bindi Irwin,' 'Carla Bonner' and so many other celebs that somehow I missed all the clues that matched with one of my favourite Australian stars.  I have loved Pia's unpredictable at times but consistent career from 'Looking for Alibrandi,' 'Secret Life of Us,' 'Wentworth' to 'Australian Survivor.' There is so many iconic TV twists and turns in Pia's career.  We will talk about a return to 'Australia Survivor,' what song she had planned next from 'Bachelor Girl,' what her family thought of her secret involvement on the show and I will get the backstory to her famous role as 'Joise Alibrandi.'  Learn more about your ad choices.

Melina Marchetta's coming-of-age classic about “the curse”, boys, the HSCs and growing up an “ethnic” in Australia turns 30 this year. A new stage adaptation of Looking for Alibrandi written by Vidya Rajan and directed by Stephen Nicolazzo, reframes the beloved story with a sharper focus on the three Alibrandi women. How does the story hold up in 2022, and what's the symbolism of all those tomatoes? Five years ago, Yassmin Abdel Magied's six-word an Anzac Day Facebook post set off a culture war that ultimately led the engineer and social advocate to leave Australia for the UK.

Talk about dream podcast guest! If you're anything like me, chances are you watched Looking for Alibrandi growing up. Pia won an AFI award for best lead actress for her role as Josephine Alibrandi. I had this movie on DVD and the soundtrack on CD too, so you can imagine how nervous I was going into this interview. More recently I've watched Pia on Wentworth and Mustangs FC. She's also done a bunch of theatre acting too. I love that Pia opened up about acting and her process, we talked about different acting techniques, i was like a kid in a candy shop. Of course I couldn't interview Pia Miranda without asking about Survivor; Pia won Survivor, that's 50 days in Fiji slogging it out, facing her fears to win the title. After the pod Pia asked if i wanted to smell her Survivor gear, i was like sure thing, spoiler alert it literally smells like jungle. Pia is open, kind and caring. I hope you love this interview as much as I do, it was an honour to sit down with the talented Pia Miranda.

Nel corso di un'udienza del processo d'appello per la strage di Bologna, il fondatore di Avanguardia Nazionale Stefano Delle Chiaie (che sarà successivamente assolto dalle accuse a suo carico) nega di aver avuto rapporti con l'organizzazione eversiva denominata Nuclei Armati Rivoluzionari, sottolineando di essere da sempre malvisto negli ambienti del cosiddetto «spontaneismo armato». Successivamente Delle Chiaie ripercorre alcune tappe della sua militanza.Il nostro sito internet: https://spazio70.com/Donazioni tramite il sistema Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/Spazio70La nostra pagina Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gliannisettantaIl nostro account Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spazio.70/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Nazionalpop70Il nostro gruppo Telegram (molto importante): https://t.me/spazio_70Audio Radio Radicalehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

Sure, heroes are great and they save the day, but what is it about a TV villain that we can't get enough of? From Succession's Kendall Roy and Breaking Bad's Walter White to Veep's Selina Meyer, the baddies tend to steal the show. Acclaimed writers Benjamin Law (The Family Law) and Melina Marchetta (Looking for Alibrandi) join The Chaser's Chris Taylor to discuss what makes their favourite TV rogues and cringe-worthy wrongdoers so compelling in this riotous conversation that ranges from Fleabag to The Office.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chapter 1: Jamila and Astrid dive into the books that first made them feel ‘grown up' and the ones that represented their shifts into adulthood. Regular listeners won't be surprised that Astrid says her coming of age read was Stephen King's 'It'. Jamila brings us back to the world of appropriate teenage reading by reminiscing about Melina Marchetta's 'Looking for Alibrandi'. Chapter 2: Jamila brings Chang Rae Lee's 'My Year Abroad' to the podcast, and she is more blunt than usual about a work of fiction. Chapter 3: And for the first time ever, Astrid recommends a rom-com - Naoise Dolan's 'Exciting Times' (Astrid assures us it is the thinking woman's rom-com). Recommendations: Two each this week! For adults, Jamila recommends 'Dreams from my Father' by Barack Obama. Jamila then refuses to take Astrid seriously when Astrid recommends Anne Rice's 1976 classic, 'Interview with the Vampire'. Both then make recommendations for middle grade readers - Jamila brings '45 and 47 Stella Street' by Elizabeth Honey, and Astrid brings 'The Chronicles of Morrigan Crow' series from Jessica Townsend.

LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI turned 20 years old this week and we are here to celebrate. Michael and Krissa are joined by our mate Jane Allsop and the most delightful Pia Miranda, star of the film. We chat all things Alibrandi and sneak in a few questions about survivor.

"The middle ground between tokenism and stereotype is just good storytelling". Australian YA legend Melina Marchetta (Looking for Alibrandi; Saving Francesca; Finnikin of the Rock; The Piper's Son) talks about what she has learnt about writing from the perspective of identity in the 28 years since her first novel was released, and what has changed – or hasn't changed – in the way writers can best approach questions of identity in their work. The WestWords Mini-Masterclasses are supported by the Cultural Fund Copyright Agency.

At the request of listener Emily, Brenna and Joe travel Down Under to Sydney to check in on Italian-Australian Josephine Alibrandi, the sassy/spunky heroine of of Melina Marchetta's 1992 Aussie YA Classic, Looking for Alibrandi and its 2000 film adaptation by Kate Woods.The pair are hardly surprised that the book is a staple of the high school curriculum, given its myriad of relevant YA themes focusing on the immigrant experience, class issues, societal pressures and sex & relationships.  Brenna and Joe dedicate a lot of time discussing the novel's handling of John Barton and his suicide, how it doesn't work nearly as well in the film, and the need for happy endings. Plus: speculation about John Green's Looking For Alaska (see earlier episode), ties to Canadian play/film, Mambo Italiano and a really successful round of BINGO!Wanna connect with the show?

As another beaut season of our very own Australian Survivor wraps up, we're delighted and saddened to bring you our final thoughts on the grand finale. Look no further, Alibrandi - you've done it. One Aussie institution has mastered another. We tell you why you're wrong for hating on Pia, why the tears of the audience taste so sweet, and once again we get on the campaign trail for getting our live Survivor Finale and reunion. It's been another fantastic season of Australia's new television darling, and we look forward to doing it all again with you next season. Until then, may all your alliances be solid, and all your betrayals be spectacular. PEACE.

Live recording of a Q&A with the incredible Melina Marchetta about her new book, The Place on Dalhousie

Melina Marchetta, author of Looking for Alibrandi, Saving Francesca, On the Jelliecoe Road, The Piper's Son & Gorgon in the Gully, chats about her new book The Place On Dalhousie. The Place On Dalhousie is such a beautiful book, capturing fractured families, flawed characters and love in many forms. One of my favourite novels of 2019. We chat about character, ageing, motherhood, friendship, multiculturalism and love.

Order yourself a cappuccino and grab a seat in the good room, because it's time to talk about the quintessential coming-of-age novel (and according to Laura, "the greatest piece of Australian literature ever written") Looking for Alibrandi, by Melina Marchetta. Serving up complex characters, multigenerational stories and a PAINFULLY accurate depiction of what it feels like to be a teen, there's a reason this book is a classic. Let's find out if it's as good as Laura and Fiona remember, if Ben can get on board as a first-time reader, and whether Pia Miranda ever agreed to watch the movie with us (hi, Pia, we love you).  PLUS find out what we're reading in April. ----- Tell us what you think about the book!

A team of eight students have been examining a script from the Young American Heroes Project on Frederick Douglas. They are going to send their suggestions to the production team when finished. Today they had the opportunity to interview Professor Alibrandi from Fairfield University who is working with the production company, Palace Production Center. "Palace Production Center, an award-winning Connecticut media company is teaming with Fairfield University Graduate School of Education, CPTV, and a team of top historians from places like Yale University and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History to create a breakthrough multi-platform project to help teach history and civics to middle school students. Called Young American Heroes (YAH), the project is one of only a handful funded last year by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in a national competition that drew 80 entries. YAH seeks to set up a new paradigm for education...breaking down the walls...going directly to teachers to get their input...and finding students where they live 24/7 on their I-Pods and cell phones...speaking to them in peer based language. " http://www.cpbn.org/young-american-heroes The film is scheduled to be aired on National Public Television next year.
