Come il progetto Challenge ha coinvolto giornalisti, studenti, ONG e radio universitarie per promuovere una narrazione più consapevole sull'agroecologia e la sostenibilità ambientale, in Italia e in Africa occidentale. Riascolta il webinar. La formazione dei giornalisti ha rappresentato uno dei punti centrali del progetto, con un ciclo di webinar organizzati in collaborazione con l'Ordine dei Giornalisti della Sardegna. L'obiettivo era rafforzare la capacità degli operatori dell'informazione nel trattare con competenza e rigore tematiche complesse come la giustizia alimentare, la sovranità dei semi, il diritto al cibo sano e le politiche agricole globali. Una rete per costruire nuove narrazioni ambientali Il progetto Challenge ha coinvolto sette regioni italiane e diversi partner tra cui Deafal, ACRA, Manitese, Open Impact, Reattiva e Terra Nuova. In Sardegna, grazie alla collaborazione con Unica Radio e l'Università di Cagliari, è nata una serie di podcast realizzati da studenti tirocinanti, per raccontare buone pratiche locali legate all'agroecologia. Il percorso ha incluso anche attività educative nelle scuole, festival tematici, campagne social con influencer ambientali e laboratori partecipativi. Tutto questo per raggiungere tre pubblici chiave: giovani e docenti, attori del sistema agroecologico e cittadini-consumatori. Durante i seminari, esperte come Paola De Meo e la giornalista Monica Di Sisto hanno ribadito l'importanza di una comunicazione che sappia evitare le banalizzazioni, che approfondisca i dati e che utilizzi gli strumenti della narrazione visiva e sonora per favorire l'accesso consapevole all'informazione. Una sfida educativa e democratica per la cittadinanza globale Oggi, in un contesto segnato da cambiamenti climatici, disinformazione e crisi del giornalismo generalista, progetti come Challenge indicano una direzione: promuovere la cultura agroecologica come spazio di partecipazione e cittadinanza. Cagliari è tra le città che hanno avviato politiche urbane del cibo, segnale di una crescente attenzione istituzionale. L'agroecologia, come hanno sottolineato i relatori, non è un ritorno al passato, ma un modello resiliente, sostenibile e giusto, in grado di produrre benefici ambientali, economici e sociali. Ed è proprio attraverso una comunicazione responsabile e accessibile che possiamo contribuire a renderla parte del discorso pubblico quotidiano.

L'isola guida l'Italia nella lotta all'inquinamento per la Giornata mondiale dell'Ambiente e degli Oceani: sedici eventi e oltre 300 volontari coinvolti Nel fine settimana del 7 e 8 giugno, la Sardegna si mobilita in massa per difendere il suo ambiente, diventando la regione più attiva d'Italia durante le celebrazioni della Giornata mondiale dell'Ambiente e della Giornata degli Oceani. A guidare questa imponente operazione di clean up è Plastic Free Onlus, associazione ambientalista che ormai da anni coinvolge cittadini, istituzioni e territori in una vera e propria rivoluzione culturale contro la plastica monouso. L'isola risponde con 16 eventi ufficiali, ben 313 volontari e una quantità sorprendente di rifiuti rimossi: 4.300 chili, pari a 45 quintali, strappati a spiagge, parchi urbani e aree periferiche. Una prova di forza e coesione che parte da Cagliari, Iglesias, Sardara, Castelsardo, Sennori, Sorso, Stintino e Usellus, dove i volontari si attivano sin dal sabato, per poi proseguire la domenica in altri otto comuni: Aglientu, Arzachena, Sassari, Tempio Pausania, Assemini, Sestu, Nuoro e Oristano. L'evento è possibile grazie alla collaborazione tra Plastic Free Onlus, i Comuni patrocinanti e le centinaia di cittadini che non temono caldo e fatica. una rete civica per la Sardegna: istituzioni e cittadini uniti per l'ambiente A sottolineare il successo dell'iniziativa è Maria Francesca Carone, referente regionale di Plastic Free Sardegna, che parla di “un traguardo davvero significativo”. Nonostante le alte temperature, i volontari rispondono con entusiasmo e senso di responsabilità. Mostrano quanto la coscienza ambientale, di fatto, stia crescendo in tutta la regione. L'obiettivo è ambizioso: restituire bellezza e dignità ai luoghi pubblici, prevenire l'inquinamento marino e promuovere abitudini sostenibili. Un obiettivo condiviso anche dalle amministrazioni comunali sarde che, concedendo il patrocinio alle operazioni di raccolta, dimostrano attenzione concreta verso le politiche ambientali. Ogni evento è occasione per educare, sensibilizzare e creare legami tra cittadini e territorio. In un mondo sempre più inquinato, dove la plastica gioca un ruolo chiave, associazioni come Plastic Free accendono una speranza. Contribuiscono a rendere possibile un mondo più sostenibile, più green.

Musica, viaggi e orgoglio sardo: l'appassionante Claudia Aru regala un messaggio forte ai giovani e a chi pensa sia troppo tardi per seguire le proprie ambizioni. Claudia Aru è un'artista che non segue le strade già tracciate. Cresciuta a Villacidro in una famiglia lontana dal mondo dello spettacolo, ha scoperto la sua vera vocazione non da bambina, ma dopo studi universitari e tante esperienze all'estero. La sua carriera nel canto inizia intorno ai 27 anni, dopo un periodo difficile e un percorso lavorativo in ambito museale che non le ha mai restituito soddisfazioni. Da quel momento ha deciso di inseguire il sogno di diventare cantautrice, con coraggio e determinazione. «Se avete una passione, non pensate mai che sia tardi» è uno dei messaggi più belli che Claudia lancia agli ascoltatori, raccontando come la sofferenza può trasformarsi in energia creativa, purché si scelga ciò che si ama davvero. La svolta arriva con l'iscrizione al Conservatorio a 34 anni, dove ottiene la laurea in canto jazz, un altro traguardo che testimonia la sua tenacia. Viaggiare per contaminare: la musica come linguaggio globale Claudia ha vissuto a Bologna, Barcellona, New York, e ha girato mezzo mondo: «Mi sento sardissima, ma cittadina del mondo», racconta con orgoglio. I suoi viaggi sono stati fondamentali per costruire il suo stile musicale, fatto di suoni sardi contaminati da tango, blues, milonga, world music. Un mix inconfondibile che riflette le sue esperienze e le sue emozioni. Uno degli episodi più curiosi riguarda il brano “Oi mi scidu chitzi”, nato come gioco linguistico tra campidanese e giapponese, con un videoclip girato tra Tokyo e Osaka. Oppure la canzone ispirata a un viaggio in Niger con l'ONU, dove ha usato il termine “Babudu” (campidanese), dal suono apparentemente africano. «Mi piace far cantare in sardo chiunque incontro», dice ridendo. Claudia è anche allieva prediletta di Cheryl Porter, vocal coach di fama internazionale, che l'ha definita «la persona più sarda e allo stesso tempo la più capace di adattarsi ovunque nel mondo». Un riconoscimento che sintetizza alla perfezione l'identità e la versatilità dell'artista. La lingua sarda come ponte tra generazioni Oltre a esibirsi, Claudia insegna canto da oltre 14 anni e crede profondamente nel potere educativo della musica. Nel suo programma televisivo su RaiPlay “S'Iscola de Cantu”, dedicato ai più piccoli, porta la lingua sarda nelle scuole con entusiasmo e leggerezza. «I bambini ascoltano tutto quello che gli fai ascoltare... sono spugne... », dice, spiegando come anche i più giovani, se stimolati, possano innamorarsi della propria lingua e cultura. Claudia alterna le lezioni tra Cagliari e Mandas, dove ha ormai messo radici. E osserva con speranza la curiosità dei suoi piccoli allievi verso la lingua sarda: «I bambini cagliaritani si mettono in gioco con entusiasmo, senza reticenze». Sognare in grande: il messaggio finale A chi sogna una carriera nel mondo dell'arte, Claudia Aru lascia un consiglio semplice ma potente: «Non abbiate paura di sognare. Più in alto sognate, più ci arrivate, DIVERTITEVI!». Il suo è un invito a credere nei propri sogni, a investire in formazione e a non mollare mai. La musica, dice, le ha salvato la vita più volte, e oggi desidera restituire agli altri la speranza e l'energia che ha ricevuto.

Un evento che ha trasformato Cagliari in un polo di eccellenza nella formazione e nella cura delle malattie renali. Un progetto possibile grazie alla collaborazione con istituti come la Mayo Clinic e la Columbia University. Il settimo International Renal Meeting organizzato in Sardegna con la collaborazione della Mayo Clinic rappresenta un esempio concreto di come l'iniziativa e la visione a lungo termine possano trasformare una realtà territoriale in un centro di riferimento medico-scientifico. Antonio Pani, docente e promotore dell'evento, racconta ai microfoni di Unica Radio la storia e i risultati di un congresso che da oltre quindici anni contribuisce a elevare il livello della nefrologia italiana e sarda. L'iniziativa prese vita nel 2011 portarono a un primo contatto con il professor Fernando Fervenza, tra i massimi esperti mondiali di glomerulonefriti. Il rapporto con la Mayo Clinic, riconosciuta ogni anno come miglior ospedale degli Stati Uniti, apre la strada a un vero e proprio gemellaggio scientifico. L'evento biennale ha attirato nel tempo non solo i migliori nefrologi italiani, ma anche professionisti provenienti da istituzioni accademiche americane e europee, come la Virginia University, la Columbia University di New York e diverse università francesi e spagnole. Formazione, ricerca e clinica: un modello vincente Il congresso ha avuto un impatto tangibile non solo sul piano scientifico, ma anche nella formazione dei giovani medici. Molti degli specializzandi sardi hanno potuto svolgere periodi di studio e ricerca all'estero, tornando a Cagliari con competenze avanzate e una rete di contatti internazionali. Il modello della Mayo Clinic, è il modello della scuola di specializzazione in nefrologia dell'Università di Cagliari. Dopo anni di inattività, infatti, la scuola è stata riaperta proprio grazie all'impegno di Pani e del suo team. Il corso offre un percorso formativo congiunto che coinvolge anche le sedi di Sassari e Nuoro. Il programma formativo non solo permette agli studenti sardi di specializzarsi nella propria regione, ma li espone a una dimensione internazionale attraverso docenze e workshop con esperti mondiali. Il futuro della nefrologia tra nuove terapie e vocazione Secondo Pani, il futuro della nefrologia è promettente, grazie allo sviluppo di nuove terapie biologiche personalizzate, in grado di agire in modo mirato sulle specifiche condizioni dei pazienti. La disciplina si sta evolvendo anche nel campo dell'onconefrologia e nelle tecniche dialitiche avanzate, che combinano depurazione e assorbimento. Tuttavia, sottolinea come sia necessario un rinnovato entusiasmo tra i giovani medici per una professione sì impegnativa, ma fondamentale. Nel corso dell'intervista, Pani lancia anche un appello agli studenti: abbracciare con passione una disciplina che richiede dedizione totale, ma che può offrire grandi soddisfazioni professionali. La presenza di eccellenze sanitarie a Cagliari, come la divisione di nefrologia, dialisi e trapianto del Brotzu, garantisce un'assistenza completa ai malati renali, dalla diagnosi al trapianto di rene, dalle cure ambulatoriali alle terapie per malattie autoimmuni e rare.

Il podcast, registrato a Cagliari durante il convegno accreditato per avvocati, esplora le principali questioni giuridiche e operative legate alla gestione delle società partecipate e in house pubbliche. Il podcast registrato durante il convegno “La disciplina delle società partecipate e delle società in house”, tenutosi presso la Sala Anfiteatro della RAS in Via Roma a Cagliari, raccoglie contenuti di grande interesse per chi si occupa di diritto pubblico, pubblica amministrazione e governo societario. L'iniziativa, accreditata dal Consiglio dell'Ordine degli Avvocati di Cagliari con 3 crediti formativi, ha offerto una panoramica aggiornata sulle criticità normative, le responsabilità penali e gli sviluppi giurisprudenziali relativi alla gestione delle società pubbliche. Il podcast documenta fedelmente i contributi di relatori autorevoli, tra cui il Sostituto Procuratore della Repubblica Andrea Vacca, che ha introdotto spunti critici sulle recenti riforme in materia di delitti dei pubblici ufficiali, e il prof. avv. Enrico Maria Mastinu, che ha trattato il tema del rapporto di lavoro nelle società pubbliche. L'evento ha visto anche la partecipazione di rappresentanti istituzionali, come l'avv. Carlo Andrea Arba (Presidente Confservizi-CISPEL Sardegna), e di esponenti dell'avvocatura e del mondo accademico. Diritto, governance e prassi operative nelle società partecipate Uno dei passaggi più rilevanti del podcast riguarda l'approfondimento del divieto di cumulo delle indennità e delle incompatibilità degli amministratori, illustrato dall'avv. Mattia Pani. A questo si è aggiunto l'intervento dell'avv. Matteo Pinna, che ha delineato le condizioni di responsabilità penale dei dipendenti pubblici e degli organi gestionali delle società partecipate. Particolarmente apprezzato il focus della dott.ssa Antonella Marcello, segretario generale del Comune di Cagliari, sull'importanza del controllo analogo, strumento essenziale per garantire la legalità e l'efficienza delle società in house. Il dott. Carlo Sanna ha poi trattato con taglio tecnico la costituzione di una società partecipata e il relativo controllo della Corte dei Conti, offrendo esempi concreti e spunti metodologici per i professionisti del settore. L'ultima parte del podcast è dedicata a esperienze operative raccontate da protagonisti del tessuto imprenditoriale sardo come Emanuele Lilliu (Fondazione Barumini), Giuseppe Sardu (Abbanoa Spa) e Fabrizio Rodin (CTM Spa), che hanno condiviso buone pratiche e modelli di gestione virtuosa nel panorama delle società pubbliche regionali. Un volume per orientarsi tra norme, riforme e applicazioni pratiche L'evento è stato anche l'occasione per presentare il libro “La disciplina delle società partecipate e delle società in house”, curato dagli avvocati Mattia Pani e Carlo Sanna. Il volume, pensato per gli operatori delle aziende pubbliche ma utile anche per studenti, amministratori e studiosi del diritto, propone una guida aggiornata e accessibile alle norme e alle prassi applicative in ma

Gli studenti possono consultare l'elenco online e, se necessario, inviare una richiesta di riesame tramite PEC all'indirizzo dell'ERSU. Il bando aiuta gli universitari a sostenere le spese per l'affitto in città, contribuendo alla lotta alla disuguaglianza abitativa e al diritto allo studio. cinema, linguaggio e diritti: i laboratori dell'ateneo cagliaritano Novità anche sul fronte culturale e creativo. L'Università degli Studi di Cagliari ha lanciato “Corti per comunicare”, un ciclo di laboratori

La band lodigiana si prepara a due date in Sardegna con un doppio singolo dalle atmosfere shoegaze e cinematiche, tra introspezione, sperimentazione e omaggi a Fellini. Il dream pop italiano si tinge di riflessi cinematografici e sbarca in Sardegna con due date cariche di atmosfera. I Six Impossible Things, band lodigiana attiva dal 2017, saranno protagonisti il 5 giugno a Iglesias presso La Cantina degli Spiriti, e il 7 giugno al Cousinà di Cagliari, in un mini-tour isolano che promette emozioni sospese tra malinconia, riverberi e architetture post-rock. L'occasione è il lancio del nuovo doppio singolo "Eight and a Half / Nevermore", pubblicato dall'etichetta Dear Gear Records, primo tassello di un percorso che porterà all'uscita dell'atteso album d'esordio full length. Il brano “Eight and a Half”, già disponibile su Spotify e YouTube, prende il nome dall'omonimo film di Federico Fellini e ne richiama le atmosfere oniriche e riflessive. Registrato con Daniele Mandelli e mixato da Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Messa, Glazyhaze), il singolo segna un punto di svolta per la formazione, che dopo anni di attività come duo ha scelto un suono più corposo e collettivo. Le chitarre avvolgenti, il piano evocativo e l'assenza di un vero e proprio ritornello contribuiscono a creare una struttura fluida e sperimentale, che mantiene però intatta l'identità intimista che ha sempre contraddistinto la band. Introspezione, cinematicità e nuove rotte sonore per il duo lodigiano Il secondo brano del doppio singolo, “Nevermore”, verrà pubblicato nei prossimi mesi, mentre la band è al lavoro su nuove tracce che faranno parte del loro primo disco completo, previsto entro il 2025. Intanto i Six Impossible Things si godono un meritato momento di attenzione da parte della critica: dopo l'EP del 2023, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, sono entrati in diverse playlist editoriali di Spotify (Fresh Finds globale, Rock Italia) e hanno condiviso il palco con nomi come NewDad, Delta Sleep, Public Service Broadcasting. Con influenze che vanno dai Beach House agli Explosions in the Sky, passando per le suggestioni vocali alla Sinéad O'Connor e le atmosfere alla Julien Baker, i Six Impossible Things rappresentano una delle voci più originali del nuovo panorama dream pop e shoegaze italiano. Le loro date in Sardegna diventano quindi un'occasione da non perdere per chi ama la musica che sa scavare dentro, sospesa tra sogno e reale, tra identità e suono.

Alessandra Sotgiu, Scaut ASSORAIDER della sezione di Cagliari 24, dialoga con il Dott. Paolo Contu, Professore Ordinario dell'Università degli studi di Cagliari, in merito alla Promozione della Salute.Buon ascolto! e Buona Caccia ai Fratelli ed alle Sorelle di ASSORAIDER! ⚜️☘️

In questa intervista esclusiva, Giampaolo Salice, professore di storia moderna e coordinatore della Ludica Scuola estiva di storia digitale e pubblica, ci racconta come nasce e si sviluppa questo progetto innovativo: un laboratorio immersivo dove si costruiscono insieme biografie digitali, si esplorano archivi pubblici e privati, si creano piattaforme online con strumenti open source e si vive il territorio dialogando con le comunità locali. Ludica è molto più di una scuola estiva: è un'esperienza laboratoriale, un progetto formativo e di ricerca partecipata che trasforma il modo di fare storia. Lo racconta con entusiasmo Giampaolo Salice, professore associato di storia moderna all'Università di Cagliari e coordinatore della scuola. Dalla Bottega Digitale al campo sul territorio Il progetto si articola in due momenti principali: la Bottega Digitale e il campo estivo sul territorio. La prima è un laboratorio tecnico e concettuale in cui studenti e studiosi imparano a costruire bibliografie automatizzate, schede di classificazione per oggetti storici e archivi digitali. «L'obiettivo – spiega Salice – è fornire strumenti pratici per descrivere e collegare tra loro fotografie storiche, interviste, documenti, tutto ciò che può essere meta-datato e reso accessibile sul web in modo competente». Le tecnologie usate sono Zotero per la costruzione delle bibliografie e Omeka S per realizzare portali tematici. Ogni edizione di Ludica genera così un sito web completo, con centinaia di oggetti digitali organizzati e consultabili. Una volta terminata la fase digitale, i partecipanti si spostano sul campo, esplorando il territorio e interagendo direttamente con archivi comunali, ecclesiastici e privati. A Cagliari, tema e luogo dell'edizione 2025, l'attenzione è rivolta alle confraternite laicali, realtà storiche secolari che hanno lasciato un segno profondo nella storia cittadina. La forza di Ludica sta anche nella sua dimensione collaborativa e inclusiva: si lavora in gruppo, si coinvolgono archivisti, amministratori locali, associazioni, ma anche semplici cittadini, custodi di memorie e patrimoni immateriali. Ogni giornata si conclude con un seminario pubblico, occasione per confronti e dibattiti. La storia si scrive insieme Gli studenti non solo partecipano ma diventano autori di storie digitali. Ogni esperienza viene raccolta in un portale chiamato Storie digitali Unica e successivamente pubblicata in un quaderno diari-di-bordo a cura di UnicaPress, la casa editrice dell'ateneo. Giampaolo Salice è ottimista: «Ludica è un modello che sta suscitando interesse anche altrove. Continueremo in Sardegna per ora, ma potremmo presto portare il nostro approccio in altre città italiane o addirittura all'estero».

La notizia era nell'aria fin dalla recente riapertura del caso: a 30 anni di distanza, possibile svolta nell'inchiesta sulla morte di Manuela Murgia, la 16enne di Cagliari trovata morta nel canyon della necropoli sarda di Tuvixeddu il 5 febbraio del 1995.

Uno studio chiamato “Analisi di possibili traiettorie per la transizione energetica in Sardegna”, realizzato dal Politecnico di Milano in collaborazione con le università di Padova e di Cagliari, ha fatto emergere che l'Isola può e deve puntare a diventare la prima regione italiana con un sistema elettrico totalmente basato sulle fonti rinnovabili, dal momento che lo scenario 100% FER è anche quello che prevede il costo dell'energia più basso in assoluto. La Sardegna gode certamente di condizioni speciali: è estremamente ricca di sole e di vento. Ma ha subìto una forte deindustrializzazione e a breve disporrà di nuove interconnessioni elettriche col continente che le consentiranno una grande flessibilità sia in importazione che in esportazione. Di tutto questo, parliamo con Fabrizio Pilo, professore di Sistemi Elettrici per l'Energia, coautore dell'articolo e prorettore al Territorio e all'Innovazione dell'Università di Cagliari.

Full Text of ReadingsFourth Sunday of Easter Lectionary: 51The Saint of the day is Saint Ignatius of LaconiSaint Ignatius of Laconi's Story Ignatius is another sainted begging brother. He was the second of seven children of peasant parents in Sardinia. His path to the Franciscans was unusual. During a serious illness, Ignatius vowed to become a Capuchin if he recovered. He regained his health but ignored the promise. When he was 20, a riding accident prompted Ignatius to renew the pledge, which he acted on the second time. Ignatius's reputation for self-denial and charity led to his appointment as the official beggar for the friars in Cagliari. He fulfilled that task for 40 years, despite being blind for the last two years. While on his rounds, Ignatius would instruct the children, visit the sick, and urge sinners to repent. The people of Cagliari were inspired by his kindness and his faithfulness to his work. Ignatius was canonized in 1951. Reflection Why did the people of Cagliari support the friars? These followers of Francis worked hard but rarely at jobs that paid enough to live on. The life of Ignatius reminds us that everything God considers worthwhile does not have a high-paying salary attached to it. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

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.

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.

Special Episode Blue Zone Travel   https://www.bluezones.com/exploration/#section-1   The five "Blue Zones" in the world, which are regions identified as having a high concentration of people living to a very old age, are:    Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica; and Loma Linda, California, USA. Notably, four of these Blue Zones are located near oceans, making them easily accessible by sea travel.    Ocean proximity: Blue Zones like Costa Rica and California are situated not too far from coastlines, making them ideal destinations for those interested in combining a healthy lifestyle exploration with beach vacations.  Mediterranean Sea: The regions of Sardinia (Italy) and Ikaria (Greece) are located in the Mediterranean Sea, which can be easily accessed by cruise ships or ferries.  Cultural immersion: Visiting a Blue Zone allows travelers to experience the local culture, cuisine, and lifestyle, which are often linked to longevity.    My friend Kirsty mentioned this in January, so I've created a list of things to do for each. You are not guaranteed to have long life, or even a good time, but visiting one or more of the zones will require different types of travel. 1. Ikaria, Greece

A sei giornate dalla fine del campionato tutti i verdetti devono ancora essere emessi: la lotta è aperta sia per lo Scudetto che per la zona Champions. Ne parliamo con Stefano Colantuono.Il duello per il primato è ormai ristretto a sole due squadre. L'Inter ieri ha superato agevolmente il Cagliari e si è portata a un momentaneo +6 dal Napoli. Gli uomini di Conte saranno chiamati a rispondere domani sera contro l'Empoli. Sentiamo Marco Barzaghi e Umberto Chiariello.La Juventus di Tudor intanto ha battuto il Lecce e prosegue così la sua rincorsa al quarto posto. Convocato Max Nerozzi.Dell'appassionante finale del Master 1000 di Montecarlo, che ha visto il nostro Musetti sconfitto da Alcaraz, parliamo invece con Stefano Pescosolido.Stasera poi alle 20:45 va in scena all'Olimpico un sentitissimo derby della Capitale che vale un posto in Europa. Ne discutiamo con Iacopo Savelli e Stefano Pantano.Pier Augusto Stagi ci racconta invece la Parigi-Roubaix e la vittoria di Mathieu van der Poel.Ultima mezz'ora dedicata infine ai motori: con Carlo Pernat viviamo gli ultimi minuti che ci separano dalla corsa della motoGP in Qatar, mentre Umberto Zapelloni ci riassume il Gran Premio di Formula 1 appena terminato in Bahrein.

Nick Dianni fills in for Alessandro as we recap the game with Cagliari and look forward to the match with Bayern on Wednesday

Tanti ospiti in diretta dal Vinitaly di Verona per commentare il martedì di Champions che ha visto l'Inter espugnare l'Allianz Arena (il Bayern non perdeva in casa in Europa dal 2021) e il clamoroso 3-0 dell'Arsenal sul Real Madrid. Con noi il procuratore veronese Andrea D'Amico e il viticoltore salentino Fabio Cordella con alcuni dei suoi Wine of the Champions: Julio Cesar e Amauri. Ma non trascuriamo il nostro Carlo Pellegatti, rimasto a Milano come nostro inviato all'Arena Civica di Milano per la finale di Coppa Italia Primavera tra Milan e Cagliari.
