Nicola Bultrini"Vita e morte di un poeta"Fazi Editorewww.fazieditore.itGli anni Ottanta, a Roma, tra gioie, poesia, arte e dolori.Irrequieto, insicuro, ma anche pieno di certezze acute e granitiche, accigliato e giocoso, vitale e funereo, intenso e spiazzante, Beppe Salvia era quello sempre sul punto di andar via ma la cui presenza lasciava ogni volta un segno potente. Questo è il ritratto di uno dei poeti più autentici e geniali della sua generazione, costruito traendo ispirazione dai racconti di coloro che all'epoca lo hanno incontrato e frequentato e che hanno condiviso con lui una stagione straordinaria e irripetibile.Siamo nella prima metà degli anni Ottanta, a Roma, una città che sta cambiando pelle, come tutta la società italiana. La storia di Salvia e dei suoi amici si intreccia con la cronaca più drammatica, ma anche con la vivace temperie artistica di quegli anni. Le riviste culturali, i festival di poesia, le gallerie: l'arte tutta è vissuta come occasione di aggregazione e di condivisione per un apprendistato attorno alla bellezza e all'amore. Così, raccontando Salvia, è raccontato il momento magico di quella generazione di poeti, scrittori e artisti di talento che animarono con entusiasmo la scena culturale di quegli anni.Beppe Salvia era dedito unicamente alla poesia e ci ha lasciato un'opera di altissimo livello. Questo libro è la sua storia, nella sua fulminea parabola, ma anche la testimonianza di un'epoca irripetibile i cui protagonisti sono oggi i nostri Maestri.«È così che abbiamo conosciuto Beppe. Era impossibile non rimanerne incuriositi. Per come si vestiva, per come si muoveva, con la grazia di uno che è intonato alla vita».Nicola BultriniÈ nato a Civitanova Marche ma vive e lavora a Roma. Ha pubblicato varie raccolte di versi, tra cui La coda dell'occhio (Marietti, 2011), La specie dominante (Aragno, 2014) e Vetro (Interno Poesia, 2022).

See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Diecimila miglia lontani dal proprio paese, dai propri affetti, dalle proprie radici è il titolo del volume fotografico che l'associazione Mappamondo ha affidato per la sua realizzazione a Beppe Ameglio che con l'utilizzo attento del colore e della luce ha saputo presentare, in più di cento immagini, il racconto e le testimonianze delle persone migranti.Tra le immagini del lavoro con i migranti troviamo anche la “brigata cucina” della chiesa valdese di Sanremo che si occupa di preparare pasti per le persone che stazionano al confine tra Italia e Francia a Ventimiglia. Abbiamo intervistato Beppe Ameglio e Mirosa Dellagiovan na in Voce delle Chiese, per farci raccontare com'è nata l'idea del libro e com'è stata sviluppata. "Ci sono ritratti di persone e foto di luoghi - spiega Beppe - Il confine italofrancese a Ventimiglia è uno dei confini "obbligati" per le persone che vogliono proseguire il viaggio in altri luoghi d'Europa, verso il Nord. Nel libro ho cercato di mantenere la dignità dei soggetti, fotografando non solo chi non ce l'ha fatta, ma anche chi ce l'ha fatta, perché ci sono persone che hanno trovato un lavoro e un futuro qui". ll ricavato delle vendite del libro servirà a sostenere le attività di Mappamondo e Casa Africa sul territorio.

Raffele Nigro"Il dono dell'amore"La nave di Teseowww.lanavediteseo.euPuglia, estate 2012. Marsilio Da Ponte, pittore di talento ma spiantato, figlio di un importante allevatore, cerca di sbarcare il lunario assieme a una combriccola di artisti, spiantati come lui. È molto vicino ai temi sociali che caratterizzano le zone in cui vive: il caporalato nelle campagne, la disoccupazione giovanile, i migranti che sbarcano dal Mediterraneo. Marsilio ha due amici con cui condivide tutto, Beppe e Michele, e con loro discute spesso di attualità: la questione meridionale, la fuga di cervelli dal sud verso il nord Italia e l'Europa, la politica, i contrasti e le differenze generazionali. Cruccio del protagonista, cresciuto in una famiglia di sinistra, è suo fratello Giacomo, candidato nelle liste di un partito di centro-destra.A portare un po' di scompiglio in una vita tutto sommato monotona, c'è l'amico Stavros Asimakopulos – re dei traghetti per la Grecia, l'Egitto, il Montenegro e l'Albania –, suo figlio Elides, studente all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Bari interessato alla questione palestinese, e l'avvenente Thenia, donna bellissima e misteriosa che accompagna Stavros nei suoi spostamenti fra l'Italia e la Grecia, della quale Marsilio si innamora a prima vista, apparentemente ricambiato. Coinvolgente e poetico, il racconto segue le iniziative artistiche ed esistenziali dei tre amici e dei loro colleghi, impegnati in viaggi attraverso i paesi del Mediterraneo, dalla Puglia al Marocco, alla Grecia, all'Albania. Fino a un decisivo sconfinamento in India, alla ricerca di una suggestione o di un luogo in grado di sovvertire i percorsi di una società in cui campeggia la dissonanza tra gli affetti e la disuguaglianza sociale.Raffaele Nigro (Melfi, 1947) vive a Bari. Dopo il saggio Basilicata tra Umanesimo e Barocco ha pubblicato Narratori cristiani di un Novecento inquieto e Giustiziateli sul campo. Letteratura e banditismo da Robin Hood ai giorni nostri. Nel 1987 con il romanzo I fuochi del Basento ha vinto il Supercampiello. Seguiranno una ventina di romanzi tra cui La Baronessa dell'Olivento, Ombre sull'Ofanto, Dio di Levante, Adriatico, Viaggio a Salamanca e Malvarosa, che ha vinto i premi Biella, Flaiano, Mondello, Maiori. Ha curato le edizioni critiche di Burchiello e la poesia giocosa del '400 e '500 e delle opere di Francesco Berni, per il Poligrafico dello Stato. I suoi libri sono tradotti in molte lingue.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Nel giro di pochi anni è passato da essere una provocazione ad un partito di governo, ma all'origine di tutto forse c'è una profezia che si autoavvera

Daniela Gusi"Nomen Omen"Neos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.itPrimi anni Novanta. Nel biellese, fra strade statali poco trafficate, paesotti prealpini, pompe di benzina e  squallidi motel, si consuma l'inspiegabile rapimento di un'imprenditrice, donna bella e priva di scrupoli.I sospetti sono così tanti che chi investiga non trova il bandolo della matassa: la donna non verrà più ritrovata e l'indagine non arriverà da nessuna parte, lasciando dietro di sé una scia di morti, esistenze distrutte, dolore, ambiguità, maldicenze. La giustizia umana ha fallito ma quella divina ha le sue modalità e i suoi tempi per agire.Trent'anni dopo il caso torna di attualità riportando in scena i protagonisti di allora. L'ispettore Caruso con il giovane Guardincasa si impegneranno oltre il ragionevole per seguire la pista insanguinata del crimine e del peccato, sulle tracce del denaro di un riscatto sparito nel nulla e mai usato, tradimenti seriali, fanatici religiosi, sordidi baristi e un albero di melo che nasconde un segreto. La buona sorte e la meticolosità della polizia riusciranno a individuare il colpevole, riannodando i tanti fili sospesi.Un giallo di esordio appassionante, un racconto corale in grado di immergere il lettore nei meandri di una di una provincia in bilico fra il passato agricolo e un futuro tristemente marginale, fra i pensieri, le emozioni, i vizi e le virtù dei tanti personaggi in scena, coinvolgendoli fino al sorprendente esito finale. Daniela Gusi è nata a Torino nel 1968, dove abita da sempre nel quartiere di Borgo Vittoria, e dal 2004 è sposata con Beppe. Ha sempre avuto la passione per i libri, legge tantissimo e dei generi più disparati, ma nutre un amore particolare per la fantascienza e per i gialli, Agatha Christie su tutti. Questo romanzo è il suo esordio nel catalogo di una casa editrice. IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Renowned African American tenor and educator Jonathan Walker-VanKuren continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of music, both on stage and in the classroom. With a diverse repertoire spanning jazz, musical theatre, art song, and opera, Walker-VanKuren has captivated audiences with his powerful voice and versatile performances. Currently serving as Assistant Professor of Voice and Artist Teacher of Studio Voice and Music Theatre at Lebanon Valley College, Walker-VanKuren balances his teaching duties with a busy schedule of recitals and operatic performances. His influence extends far beyond the college walls, as evidenced by the success of his students who have gone on to pursue music at prestigious institutions such as Texas A&M, Michigan State University, and Belmont University. Recent highlights from Walker-VanKuren's performing career include his roles as Thamar in Opera Southwest's revival production of "Ali Baba," as well as captivating portrayals of the Witch in "Hansel and Gretel," Don Jose in "La tragédie de Carmen," Fenton in "Falstaff," Nelson in "Porgy and Bess," and Beppe in "Il Pagliacci." And in a testament to Lebanon Valley College's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, the Music Theatre department is set to host a sensory-friendly performance of "Tuck Everlasting" on Saturday, April 6, at 1 p.m. in Leedy Theatre inside the Allan W. Mund College Center. This initiative aims to provide a welcoming environment for individuals with sensory needs or other social, cognitive, and/or physical challenges, allowing them to enjoy the magic of live theatre. What To Expect: Audiences attending the sensory-friendly performance can expect several modifications to enhance their experience, including keeping the lights dimmed throughout the show, reducing overall sound levels, and eliminating potentially overwhelming elements such as strobe lights and intense sound effects. Additionally, the cast and crew will adjust their interactions with the audience to ensure a comfortable atmosphere for all attendees. To further support guests, a staffed quiet area will be available in the lobby for those who may need a break during the performance. Audience members are also encouraged to bring their own comfort objects and support items to personalize their experience and make the most of this unique theatrical event. Through his dedication to both his craft and his students, Jonathan Walker-VanKuren continues to inspire and uplift aspiring musicians while fostering a culture of inclusivity and accessibility in the performing arts. As the curtain rises on this sensory-friendly performance, it serves as a shining example of the transformative power of music and the boundless potential for artistic expression to unite and uplift us all.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fiorenza Pistocchi"Il coraggio è una cosa semplice"Giovani vite nella ResistenzaNeos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.comUn romanzo storico in cui la finzione si intreccia con la realtà della lotta di Liberazione a Savona Savona, 10 maggio del 1945. Nei vicoli della città vecchia tre spari uccidono un uomo soprannominato il “Biondo”. È una di quelle uccisioni denominate “pistola silenziosa”, esecuzioni sommarie di fascisti, collaborazionisti o spie avvenute mesi successivi alla fine della guerra. Così inizia il romanzo storico che Fiorenza Pistocchi ha ambientato negli anni della Resistenza a Savona. Anna, Beppe, Gigi, Carlo e Giorgio sono giovani ragazzi che giorno dopo giorno vedono la loro quotidianità e il futuro diventare ostaggio di una guerra sanguinosa e di un regime spietato. È tempo di fare qualcosa, la cosa giusta, e il coraggio per farla viene da solo. Così si occupano della diffusione di informazioni utili ai partigiani, di consegnare armi alle squadre nascoste in montagna e di spiare i movimenti dei nazifascisti, interrogandosi sull'efficacia, i limiti e la moralità di ciò che possono fare. Non sono incoscienti, hanno paura, vivono con ansia ogni decisione, però agiscono e coinvolgono le loro famiglie, pronte ad aiutarli nonostante i rischi. Nelle pagine del romanzo si alternano e si intrecciano parti romanzate (quelle al passato remoto) e cronache di fatti accaduti realmente a Savona (narrati al presente) tra l'8 settembre 1943 e l'insurrezione del 23 e 24 aprile del 1945 che porterà alla Liberazione della città, eventi che talvolta coinvolgeranno i protagonisti o avranno un risvolto sulle loro scelte.Gli scioperi del 1943 e del 1944 a Savona e Vado (alle fabbriche Scarpa, Magnano, Ilva, Servettaz-Basevi, Brown-Boveri); i 77 operai arrestati nel marzo del ‘44 e deportati (torneranno solo in otto); le fucilazioni di partigiani al forte della Madonna degli Angeli, alla fortezza Priamar e al campo sportivo di Savona; gli eccidi di Valloria e di Voze; i partigiani della Divisione Garibaldi e i giovani resistenti di estrazione cattolica (Sergio Alpron, Aldo Picco, Renato Vuillermin, Clelia Corradini, membro dei Gruppi di Difesa della Donna, fucilata a Vado nell'agosto del 1944); i bombardamenti Alleati che precedettero lo sbarco in Provenza… Fiorenza Pistocchi è nata a Savona e vive a Pioltello, nel milanese. Collabora con Neos edizioni fin dal suo primo libro Il destino disegna paesaggi di mare (2014), capofila di una fortunata serie di gialli ambientati a Noli, con protagonista Vincenzo Russo, giovane vigile urbano, poi detective di polizia, geniale quanto misterioso risolutore di casi criminosi: Appuntamento a San Paragorio (2015); Il tesoro del Transylvania (2016); Le perle portano lacrime (2017); La madre nell'ombra (2019); Ossa sotto il castello (2020). Una nuova serie gialla è ambientata nei quartieri est di Milano fra Lambrate e Ortica: Il tocco del piccolo angelo (2021) e Angeli su fondo nero (2022), dove il commissario Perego indaga aiutato dalle visioni della bella creola Linette. Nel 2018 è uscito il suo romanzo a sfondo storico Il cuore tenace della lavanda, ambientato a cavallo della prima guerra mondiale, seguito nel 2019 da I colori del buio, ambientato a Pioltello nel periodo della deportazione. Sempre per Neos edizioni è stata curatrice delle sei edizioni di Natale a Milano, a partire dal 2016, e di MILANOè. Libro Rosa (2023).

This show is a recap of a the recent trip through Tuscany that my travel partner, Tourissimo, and I organized for a group of 19 Patrons (join Patreon so you can make the next one!). We go through the major DOCGs/DOCs we visited and I share some interesting things I learned and observed. A great one for armchair travel! Here are the DOCGs we explored: Vernaccia di San Gimignano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Chianti Classico Brunello di Montalcino Morellino di Scansano And the DOCs Maremma and Bolgheri   My big takeaway from the trip: I am more optimistic than ever about Tuscan wines, which just keep getting better and better. If you don't have experience with these wines, I would recommend checking them out (especially if you like Italian food since what grows together, goes together!). Chianti Classico, view from Castello Brolio, Ricasoli 1141.
