Come in ogni grande storia d'amore che finisce, i due innamorati voltano pagina, cambiano vita, ma l'addio lascia l'amaro in bocca. È così tra l'Inter ora accasata con Chivu e Inzaghi ora sposato con l'Al Hilal. Entrambi in America per il Mondiale per Club, le due parti continuano a mandarsi frecciatine a distanza, direttamente e non. Ne parliamo con Fabrizio Biasin di Libero. Convochiamo Guido Bagatta che ieri ha raccontato da bordocampo per Eurosport lo scudetto vinto dalla Virtus Bologna in gara-3 contro Brescia.Mentre domani il nuovo ct della Nazionale Gattuso verrà presentato alla stampa, continua l'avventura dell'U21 nell'Europeo in Slovacchia, con i ragazzi di Nicolato che pareggiano con la Spagna e vanno ai quarti di finale. Di questo parliamo con Mario Beretta, consigliere della componente professionistica dell’Associazione Italiana Allenatori Calcio oggi ospite di #DaiCarloNonFarlo col nostro Carletto Pellegatti.

Modric al Milan, De Bruyne al Napoli, Dzeko alla Fiorentina e si vocifera persino di un ritorno in Serie A di Ciro Immobile... l'Italia è ormai un campionato per vecchi? Lo chiediamo a Luca Marchetti del team calciomercato di Sky Sport. Bologna del basket è impegnata non solo nella finale scudetto con Brescia, ma da domani ospita anche il girone della FIBA Women's EuroBasket. Con noi per parlarne la vecchia gloria delle V Nere Roberto Brunamonti, oggi Capo Delegazione della Nazionale di basket femminile. Oggi un grande regalo per il nostro Leo Turrini sulla Pero-Cormano: gli abbiamo convocato il vincitore della 24 Ore di Le Mans con la Ferrari numero 83 di AF Corse, il grande Robert Kubica.

Note from Film makers : Also, just wanted to mention some of the conspiracy stuff hidden in the film.… since you didn't notice any of it… lol. It was on our mind. Film starts with Tim getting a speeding ticket, when asked where he's coming from he says - Muldrow.  In real life Tim got a speeding ticket outside Muldrow which is right by Elohim City.  The only reason for him to be in that area is Elohim… and Tim said he had never been there before. Richard Snell's influence and friendship.  In real life Richard said his death would be avenged and asked to have the TV turned on the morning of his execution, April 19th.  The officer said Snelll was grinning while watching the news of the bombing.   How well or even if he knew Tim is conspiracy lore.  Snell is buried at Elohim City. Strassmaier telling Tim about Snell's bomb plot in 83'.  In real life it goes that Snell and others from the CSA were going to blow up the Federal Building in OKC, but the bomb blew up in their hands.  They took it as a sign from God not to do it. Tim and Terry selling guns, Tim says you don't know where we got these from.  In real life the story goes that Tim had Terry steal Roger Moore's (who was tied to the CIA) gun collection  to sell and make money for the bombing. The story is very fishy, especially Moore's version. Terry asks Tim where he's gonna get that much money from to buy components for the bomb, but Tim never answers.  Tim has a lighter with a Freemason logo on it. All the phone calls when Tim is at the phone booth, it is never revealed who he's talking to or what he is saying. When Tim is renting the storage room he gives her the wrong ID with one of his aliases. On other oaccasions he signs papers with different names. Tim and Strassmeir at the strip club.  In real life a stripper at Lady Godiva's says she saw Tim, Strassmeir and Michael Brescia at the strip club all together shortly before the bombing.  They all said  it didn't happen.  Strassmeir claims he only met Tim once at a gun show.  Brescia says he didn't know Tim at all. Terry flying to the Philippines. In real life Terry went many times, Tim's lawyer suspected him to meet with terrorists to learn bomb building. John Doe 2 is in the background when he rents the truck. The passenger door is heard opening and someone gets in… who is never revealed, John Doe 2.Towards the end, the gameshow he's watching in the motel room while eating Chinese food, has secret messages on the game board:  STRASSMEIR, HYPNOSIS, MKULTRA, CIA, FBI, etc.The montage at the end has images of: teeth X-rays  (Wendy Painting's theory he was micro chipped in his teeth), MK-Ultra, Aryan Republican Army, Carol Howe, Terrance Yeakey, Kenneth Trentadue,  and Jolly West. Also, on a side note you might enjoy… the announcer of the gameshow introduces the current winner as, “Dave McGowan.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

È tempo di DIVINITÀ al BSMT. Un nome che non ha bisogno di presentazioni. Un simbolo, un'icona. Uno dei più grandi calciatori italiani di sempre. Il Divin Codino, capace di unire i tifosi di ogni squadra con la sua classe pura e la sua umanità. Ebbene sì, Roberto Baggio è passato dal BSMT. Pallone d'Oro nel 1993, autore di gol indimenticabili, protagonista di tre Mondiali con la maglia azzurra. Baggio ha incantato il mondo con il suo talento, i suoi dribbling, la sua visione di gioco. Ha fatto sognare l'Italia agli USA '94, portandola a un passo dalla gloria, e ha scritto pagine leggendarie con Fiorentina, Juventus, Milan, Bologna, Inter e Brescia. Ma il Divin Codino è molto più di un campione in campo: è un uomo che si è rialzato dopo ogni caduta, dentro e fuori dal rettangolo di gioco. Che ha saputo dire dei no, seguire la propria strada, anche quando era la più difficile. Al BSMT abbiamo parlato di calcio e di vita. Di talento e sofferenza, di gioie e cicatrici. Del successo, e della solitudine che spesso lo accompagna. Di cosa significa essere un simbolo per un intero Paese. E di come si trova la pace, anche dopo un rigore che pesa ancora nei cuori di tutti. Una chiacchierata profonda, toccante, sincera. Con un uomo che ha lasciato il segno in campo, ma soprattutto nella memoria di chi ama davvero lo sport. Perché Roberto Baggio non è solo un campione. È un pezzo di storia del nostro calcio.

Valerio Di Donato"La via di Emilio"Ronzani Editorewww.ronzanieditore.itUn viaggio nella memoria di Emilio Sergi, personaggio liberamente ispirato a Giacomo Scotti, uno degli intellettuali più rappresentativi della minoranza italiana residente in Croazia.Un viaggio nella memoria di Emilio Sergi, personaggio liberamente ispirato a Giacomo Scotti, uno degli intellettuali più rappresentativi della minoranza italiana residente in Croazia. Emilio ha ormai superato i 95 anni e vive in un palazzone di Fiume con la moglie Dorina, rintanato nel suo piccolo appartamento. Vi si trasferì diciannovenne, attratto dagli ideali del socialismo titino. Stimolato nelle riflessioni da una impertinente voce interiore, Emilio ricostruisce i passaggi più importanti della sua vita coincidenti, per lo più, con eventi salienti della grande Storia: l'esodo degli italiani dalla Venezia Giulia, il cosiddetto ‘controesodo' dei monfalconesi, l'orrore dell'Isola Calva, le guerre in Croazia e in Bosnia dopo la dissoluzione del 1991, l'assiduo impegno come inviato di guerra e animatore di iniziative umanitarie e pacifiste. Impegnato attivamente come giornalista presso «La Voce del popolo», quotidiano in lingua italiana dell'Istria e Quarnero, nel 1960 finisce in carcere come ‘nemico del popolo' per un articolo contrario all'ortodossia ufficiale e il giornale lo licenzia perché considerato poco malleabile alle direttive politiche. Nelle difficoltà di sfamare la famiglia, Emilio trova la sua via di salvezza nella poesia e nelle collaborazioni con i giornali italiani. Valerio di Donato (Teramo, 1955) cresciuto e ha studiato a Treviso, e si è laureato in Scienze Politiche a Padova. Alla fine degli anni '80 si è trasferito a Brescia, dove tutt'ora risiede e ove è stato per ventidue anni giornalista presso il «Giornale di Brescia» nella sezione interni/esteri. Attivamente impegnato nel mondo della divulgazione culturale, scrive per il blog «Il Diario online». Nel 2006 ha pubblicato ISTRIANIERI. Storie di esilio (Liberedizioni, Gavardo, bs), e nel 2021 Le fiamme dei Balcani (Oltre Edizioni). Nei primi anni Novanta si appassiona alla ‘questione istriana', alle vicende degli esuli giuliano-dalmati e alle guerre in ex Jugoslavia. Ha realizzato articoli e reportage sul territorio in Istria, Croazia, Serbia e Bosnia, anche come inviato del «Giornale di Brescia» a Belgrado durante e dopo le guerre degli anni Novanta. Da questa esperienza trae l'ispirazione per i suoi romanzi.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Franesca Nodari"Filosofi lungo l'Oglio"www.filosofilungologlio.itIl Festival Filosofi lungo l'Oglio diretto da Francesca Nodari che torna per la sua XX edizione da giovedì 5 giugno a venerdì 25 luglio: 31 incontri che si snodano in 23 comuni italiani tra Brescia, Bergamo e Cremona, lungo il fiume Oglio. Il tema di questa edizione è Esistere e saranno presenti come ospiti filosofi di caratura nazionale e internazionale. Da vent'anni il Festival riesce a radunare tantissimo pubblico anche in paesi minuscoli (da 2000 abitanti) con la filosofia, un'impresa più unica che rara!La peculiare natura del Festival è il suo spirito nomade e itinerante, che porta la riflessione filosofica in luoghi diversi rinnovando la sua vocazione a farsi maratona del pensiero in movimento. Proprio questa cifra distintiva rappresenta l'elemento che rende il Festival unico nel suo genere, non solo a livello nazionale, ma anche nel panorama internazionale. A testimoniare il suo prestigio è l'assegnazione dell'EFFE Label, il riconoscimento europeo che premia l'eccellenza in creatività, rigore scientifico e diffusione della cultura a livello territoriale. Inoltre, nel 2024, Filosofi lungo l'Oglio ha ricevuto da parte della Regione Lombardia la menzione speciale Rosa Camuna, il premio per l'impegno, l'operosità, la creatività e l'ingegno di coloro che contribuiscono allo sviluppo economico, sociale, culturale e sportivo della Lombardia. Non da ultimo, il Festival continua a essere riconosciuto come Soggetto di rilevanza regionale, con l'adesione della Prefettura di Brescia, che ne sottolinea l'importanza istituzionale.  L'edizione di quest'anno è dedicata al tema Esistere, inteso non solo come condizione, ma come scelta consapevole e impegno attivo nel mondo contemporaneo. In un'epoca segnata dalla digitalizzazione, dalla precarietà e dalla ridefinizione dell'identità umana attraverso la tecnologia, esistere significa resistere alla frenesia dell'eterno presente, riscoprendo la profondità del pensiero critico e la ricchezza dell'incontro autentico con l'altro. Mentre gli imperativi tecnologici cui siamo sottomessi ci impongono di funzionare, di essere meri ingranaggi della società dei consumi, noi dobbiamo sforzarci di vivere davvero: fare esperienze, riflettere, desiderare, amare, decidere. Oggi più che mai, torna attuale l'antico monito dell'oracolo di Delfi: Conosci te stesso. Interrogarsi sul proprio posto nel mondo non è un esercizio astratto, ma una necessità concreta. Esistere significa affrontare le domande essenziali – Chi siamo? Da dove veniamo? Dove stiamo andando? – con la consapevolezza che laDa giovedì 5 giugno a venerdì 25 luglio il Festival offrirà una serie di eventi che spaziano dalle lezioni magistrali alle passeggiate filosofiche, includendo un concerto e la proiezione di un documentario in occasione delle celebrazioni del ventennale del Festival, in un susseguirsi di appuntamenti pensati per attrarre un pubblico eterogeneo, per età, provenienza e formazione. Questo programma variegato dimostra come, nell'era del phono sapiens e della crescente idolatria dell'io, esista una vera e propria sete di filosofia. Gli ospiti nazionali e internazionali presenti: Franco Arminio, Haim Baharier, Elisa Barbieri, Andrea Bariselli, Miguel Benasayag, Enzo Bianchi, Danielle Cohen-Levinas, Umberto Curi, Ilvo Diamanti, Duccio Demetrio, Umberto Galimberti, Isabella Guanzini, David Le Breton, Michaël Lévinas, Lamberto Maffei, Stefano Mancuso, Francesco Miano, Elisabetta Moro, Salvatore Natoli, Marino Niola, Francesca Nodari, Mons. Vincenzo Paglia, Maria Rita Parsi, Massimo Recalcati, Francesca Rigotti, Andrea Tagliapietra, Gabriella Turnaturi, Massimiliano Valerii, Marco Vannini, Stefano Zamagni. Questi i 23 comuni che aderiscono all'iniziativa: Caravaggio (BG), Collebeato (BS), Corzano (BS), Dello (BS), Erbusco (BS), Gardone Val Trompia (BS), Iseo (BS), Leno (BS), Lograto (BS), Orzinuovi (BS), Orzivecchi (BS), Ospitaletto (BS), Ostiano (CR), Roncadelle (BS), Sarnico (BG), Tavernole SM (BS), Verolavecchia (BS) e Villachiara (BS), con il nuovo ingresso dei comuni di Adrara SM (BG), Berlingo (BS), Castegnato (BS), Coccaglio (BS) e Seniga (BS).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Ospite speciale e straordinario della puntata n.30 della nuova stagione è Luigi Di Biagio. Centrocampista cresciuto nelle giovanili della Lazio, gioca con le maglie di Monza, Foggia, Roma, Inter, Brescia e Ascoli. Appese le scarpe al chiodo, inizia la carriera di allenatore, diventando ct dell'Italia U21 e, attualmente, ct dell'Arabia Saudita U23

Questa storia inizia nel 1971 a Ospitaletto, in provincia di Brescia, quando Aldo Artioli, un chimico industriale destinato poi a essere ricordato come uno dei padri della siderurgia italiana, fonda la Aso Acciai speciali. Prende così il via l'attività di un'azienda che poi diventa Asonext nel 2020, in coincidenza con una strategia di espansione internazionale e innovazione tecnologica. A portare avanti questa tradizione, e a guidarci nel racconto, è Paola Artioli, figlia del fondatore, che decise a soli 8 anni di voler portare avanti questa eredità raccogliendo una sfida, dopo aver sentito dire che, avendo avendo solo figlie femmine, l'attività di Aldo era destinata a finire.

Amici veri, prima ancora che campioni. Uno pilastro dell'Inter e della Nazionale, l'altro talento puro del basket italiano. Ebbene sì, Alessandro Bastoni e Amedeo Della Valle sono passati dal BSMT. Classe '99, Alessandro Bastoni è ormai una colonna nerazzurra: due Scudetti, due Coppe Italia, tre Supercoppe, due finali di Champions, di cui una guadagnata martedì sera. Amedeo Della Valle, classe '93, è il capitano della Germani Brescia: cresciuto tra Ohio State, Reggio Emilia, Milano, Spagna e Montenegro. MVP in Supercoppa e nella storica Coppa Italia vinta col Brescia da protagonista assoluto. Due sport diversi, stessi valori, stessa voglia di vincere, di migliorarsi, di raccontarsi con verità. Ma soprattutto: una grande amicizia che va oltre il campo e il parquet. E proprio da lì siamo partiti: dal legame che li unisce, per poi allargare lo sguardo. Al BSMT abbiamo parlato di similitudini e differenze tra calcio e basket, di pressioni, di successi e di momenti no… ma anche della cultura sportiva in Italia, di sogni, idoli e addii al nubilato degni di nota… Una chiacchierata che parte dal campo e arriva alla vita. Due carriere parallele, due percorsi diversi che parlano la stessa lingua: quella della passione. Buona visione! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Sono per i diritti umani e condanno i crimini di guerra e contro l'umanità perpetrati a Gaza.

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.

This weekend, the first show of his work in the German capital opens at the Galerie Michael Werner. Our digital editor, Alexander Morrison, went to Berlin to talk to the artist's son, the filmmaker Jake Auerbach, about the exhibition. A new book by Dan Hicks, a curator at the Pitts River Museum in Oxford, UK, titled Every Monument Must Fall explores the origins of the fierce contemporary debates around colonialism, art, and heritage. It investigates in particular the acquisition of human remains and their ongoing place in museums and other historical institutions. Ben Luke spoke to him about the publication.

Desirée Piovanelli ha solo 14 anni quando, in un tranquillo sabato pomeriggio di fine settembre, esce di casa dicendo ai genitori che andrà a studiare da un'amica. È una ragazza riservata, gentile, benvoluta da tutti nel suo quartiere di Leno, in provincia di Brescia. Ma quella sarà l'ultima volta che viene vista viva. Cinque giorni più tardi, il suo corpo senza vita viene ritrovato all'interno di un casolare abbandonato a pochi passi da casa. È stata brutalmente aggredita e uccisa. Le indagini porteranno alla luce una verità agghiacciante: a colpirla sono stati quattro ragazzi del paese, tre dei quali minorenni. È uno dei primi casi in cui la stampa italiana comincerà a parlare di “branco”. La comunità si ritrova sotto shock e si moltiplicano le domande. Ma cosa spinse davvero quei ragazzi a commettere un crimine tanto atroce? E cosa è successo davvero, quel pomeriggio, dentro la Cascina Ermengarda?

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.

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.
