Gianluca MargheritiMilano è. Città di quartirri.Un mosaico di città in 19 raccontiA cura di Fiorenza Pistocchi e Gian Luca MargheritiPrefazione di Luca FoschiNeos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.it Diciannove racconti ispirati ai quartieri di Milano, città multiforme e in continuo movimento: un viaggio letterario fra storia e futuro, ricordi e misteri.Un'antologia che immerge il lettore nella vita di vie e di luoghi, spaziando fra il noir e la memoria, il distopico e la cronaca, il fantastico e il poliziesco. Il tutto condito da humor e creatività.A Milano convivono fianco a fianco realtà sociali, culturali, economiche e antropologiche assai diverse tra di loro, dove è possibile incontrare situazioni e personaggi inconsueti e difficili da dimenticare: i draghi verdi e il ragioniere della Panda blu, San Siro e i festeggiamenti per lo scudetto e il cadavere nella valigia, il bar che chiude e il grande caos a Chinatown, Umberto Boccioni e il disastro ferroviario dell'Acquabella, il processo al giornale studentesco La Zanzara. E poi il misterioso rapitore dei Navigli, il tour con delitto e la ragazza che ballava il tango, i briganti della Merlata e la cucina cosparsa di sangue (di Giuda), Ornella che parla dal muro e l'ombra della ‘ndrangheta, l'inizio degli anni di piombo, la gatta e il monopattino, il furto del quadro del Bergognone, la visita cardiologica e l'incontro in treno con il Signor Morte. Senza dimenticare la Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, il barbiere che non c'è più e il difettoso esperimento.“Solo cent'anni fa, questo era il Borgo degli Ortolani, anzi, per la precisione, il Borgh di Scigulatt: il borgo dei cipollai. Qui, erano tutte cascine in aperta campagna”...A Milano troviamo zone ricche di storia e altre inurbate di recente, i piccoli paesi e borghi un tempo confinanti con la città e oggi parte integrante della città stessa (Crescenzago, Baggio, Niguarda, Affori) e quartieri costruiti negli anni del boom economico. Quartieri che «sembrano più che mai agire come organismi interconnessi ma allo stesso tempo distinti nella loro unicità. Eppure, proprio in una metropoli così densa mente abitata, ci troviamo di fronte a una delle emergenze più gravi della nostra società: l'isolamento sociale e la crisi della comunità. In questo scenario, i quartieri, intesi come luoghi di relazione e di identità condivisa, possono tornare ad avere un ruolo centrale. Non più o non solo, come palcoscenico di mode passeggere o come brand da vendere a colpi di marketing territoriale – come nel caso di Nolo, Isola o CityLife – ma come spazi di comunità in cui le persone si sentano parte di qualcosa di più grande. I quartieri sono il luogo ideale per sperimentare una “nuova” forma di urbanità, fatta di prossimità, di relazioni quotidiane, di condivisione di spazi pubblici, di servizi e di esperienze. Qui, nel cuore di ogni quartiere, è possibile ricostruire il senso di appartenenza, trovare risposte alle necessità quotidiane e, soprattutto, vivere in un contesto che non sia solo di passaggio, ma di radicamento» (Luca Foschi). Il volume «Milano è Città di quartieri» è la seconda edizione della collana antologica che Neos edizioni dedica a Milano e alle sue storie (il primo volume aveva come protagoniste le donne milanesi). I quartieri che hanno ispirato i racconti: Bovisasca, Bovisa, San Siro, Tortona Solari, Acquabella, Porta Venezia, Musocco, Brera, Crescenzago, Nolo, Calvairate, Porta Volta, Isola, Centrale, Navigli, Ronchetto sul Naviglio, Comasina, Ortica, Centro storico. A cura di Fiorenza Pistocchi e Gian Luca MargheritiRacconti di: Erica Arosio, Elisabetta Berti Arnoaldi, Mauro Biagini, Giancarlo Bosini, Marco Donna, Donatella Genovese, Arrigo Geroli, Rossana Girotto, Giorgio Maimone, Gian Luca Margheriti, Maddalena Molteni, Livia Negri, Davide Palmarini, Angelo Pappadà, Alida Parisi, Fiorenza Pistocchi, Paola Varalli, Gloria Vellini, Anna Versi Masini.Prefazione di Luca Foschi.I diritti d'autore saranno devoluti in beneficenza alla Fondazione Fracta Limina Onlus. IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

In this Webworm podcast, a story I've been working on for some time. Just over a year ago — in March of 2024 — I got an email from Jake. He had a story he wanted to tell, and he wanted to find a way to tell it that could help others. A warning, of sorts. And so over the last year, as a court case played out — I've been working on this story. It takes place in and around CityLife church in Melbourne. And while this story is a warning, I also think it's a story about the truth, justice, and pushing back against institutions that allow abuse to happen. This piece discusses emotional and physical abuse that may be distressing for some readers, so please take care when reading. For more see https://www.webworm.co This is a public episode.

For 60 years, New York composer Steve Reich has been one of classical music's most celebrated revolutionaries. Pioneering minimalism in the 1960s, a musical style based on repetition and shifting rhythms, his strange experiments with cassette tape led to orchestral masterpieces – now performed around the world. His career has not only helped define the latest era of classical music, but had an enormous influence on pop, rock and electronica. He has helped shape 20th Century music in a way few can claim to match. To mark 60 years since his first major piece,1965's It's Gonna Rain, he takes Alastair Shuttleworth through the process and stories behind some of his greatest works, including Clapping Music, Different Trains and City Life. He also reflects on his legacy, his plans for the future and what, at the age of 88, still inspires him to compose

ובאנשים.En: Passover had arrived, and the garden was filled with flowers and people.He: נעם צעד לאט, כמעט כמו בחלום, בעודו מתקרב לשביל הניצנים.En: Noam walked slowly, almost as if in a dream, as he approached the path of buds.He: מחשבות רבות העסיקו אותו.En: Many thoughts occupied him.He: הוא יכול היה להרגיש את הלחץ בחזהו, התרגשות מהולה בעצב.En: He could feel the pressure in his chest, excitement mixed with sadness.He: נעם עמד לעזוב את הארץ, לעבור לעבודה חדשה בחו"ל.En: Noam was about to leave the country, moving abroad for a new job.He: הייתה זו החלטה קשה.En: It was a tough decision.He: במפגש האחרון עם טליה ואילן, נעם חיפש נחמה ואישור.En: In his last meeting with Talia and Ilan, Noam sought comfort and affirmation.He: הוא התגעגע כבר מעכשיו לכל מקום אהוב, לכל פינה מוכרת בגן.En: He already missed every beloved place, every familiar corner in the garden.He: טליה חיכתה ליד השער, חיוכה מרגיע ומוכר.En: Talia waited by the gate, her smile comforting and familiar.He: ״היי, נעם!En: "Hey, Noam!He: איך אתה מרגיש?En: How are you feeling?"He: ״ שאלה, מנסה לעודד.En: she asked, trying to encourage him.He: אילן ניצב לצידה, פניו היו מעט חמוצות אבל עדיין, חבר אמיתי.En: Ilan stood by her side, his face a bit sour but still, a true friend.He: ״לא קל, באמת לא קל,״ השיב נעם בכנות.En: "It's not easy, really not easy," replied Noam honestly.He: ״אבל אני יודע שאני צריך לנסות.En: "But I know I have to try."He: ״שלושתם התחילו ללכת לאורך השביל.En: The three of them started walking along the path.He: לטליה היו תמיד מלים טובות של עידוד לתוך רוחו של נעם.En: Talia always had kind words of encouragement for Noam.He: היא דיברה על ההזדמנויות שבחוץ, על ההרפתקאות שמחכות.En: She talked about the opportunities abroad, about the adventures waiting.He: ״אני מאמינה בך, נעם.En: "I believe in you, Noam.He: אתה תצליח, ואני תמיד אהיה פה בשבילך.En: You'll succeed, and I'll always be here for you."He: ״אבל אילן היה יותר ספקני.En: But Ilan was more skeptical.He: ״מה אם תלך ואנחנו נתרחק?En: "What if you go and we drift apart?He: זה לא יהיה אותו דבר בלעדיך,״ הוא אמר בקול נמוך.En: It won't be the same without you," he said in a low voice.He: היה ברור שהוא חשש לאבד את החברות הקרובה ביניהם.En: It was clear he was afraid of losing their close friendship.He: נעם עצר לרגע, נשם עמוק, והביט סביב.En: Noam stopped for a moment, took a deep breath, and looked around.He: הפריחה הוורודה של עצי הדובדבן הקיפה אותם כמו שמיכה של מרגוע.En: The pink blossoms of the cherry trees surrounded them like a blanket of calm.He: ״אילן, אני מבין אותך.En: "Ilan, I understand you.He: זה קשה לשנינו.En: It's hard for both of us.He: אבל הבה ניתן לעצמנו הזדמנות.En: But let's give ourselves a chance.He: חברות אמיתית לא נמדדת במרחק.En: True friendship isn't measured by distance."He: ״הם הגיעו לאגם הקטן שבפנים הגן.En: They reached the small pond within the garden.He: ישבו על הספסל הקרוב, והקשיבו לצלילי הטבע.En: They sat on the nearby bench and listened to the sounds of nature.He: נשימותיהם התערבבו עם הרוח, עם השקט הפנימי שנולד לפתע.En: Their breaths mingled with the wind, with the inner peace that was suddenly born.He: נעם הרגיש משהו משתנה בו.En: Noam felt something changing within him.He: כל פחדיו ופחדיו התחלפו בתחושה של שלווה.En: All his fears and worries shifted into a sense of tranquility.He: הוא ידע שזה היה הכרחי להגשים חלומות, אף אם זה כאב לעזוב.En: He knew it was necessary to chase dreams, even if it hurt to leave.He: "אולי תשמור איתנו על קשר, קוראים לזה היום 'אינטרנט', כן?En: "Maybe you'll keep in touch with us, they call it 'Internet' these days, right?"He: " צחקה טליה, בעוד חיוכה מבטיח שהכל יהיה בסדר.En: Talia laughed, her smile promising that everything would be okay.He: נעם נד בראשו בחיוך.En: Noam nodded with a smile.He: ״כן, אנחנו נשמור על קשר.En: "Yes, we'll stay in touch.He: תודה שאתם שם בשבילי.En: Thank you for being there for me."He: "השמש ירדה אט אט.En: The sun slowly set.He: צללים התארכו, ולבם של השלושה חש חמימות ואהבה.En: Shadows lengthened, and the hearts of the three felt warmth and love.He: הם קמו, חיבקו אחד את השני חזק.En: They stood up, embraced each other tightly.He: נעם הבין, למרות המרחק הצפוי, שהוא אף פעם לא יהיה לבד.En: Noam understood that despite the expected distance, he would never truly be alone.He: כך, בלב הגן שפרח סביבם, שיחררו השלושה את הדאגות והאיחולים לחזור.En: So, in the heart of the garden that bloomed around them, the three released their worries and wishes for return.He: נעם יצא לדרכו עם לב שלם, מקווה להתחלה חדשה עם ידיעה שהחברים תמיד תמיד פה, בלב, לנצח.En: Noam set out on his path with a whole heart, hoping for a new beginning with the knowledge that friends are always, always there, in the heart, forever.

Never has paying rent been quite so elaborate. Even when it's rent you're not paying, for a piece of land you don't use anymore. It's confusing. The City of London goes to town with the pomp and processions, and we are here to explain all. In fact this year (unlike all the others) we are determined to make it to some of these events. Get your diaries at the ready if you'd like to join us. There's the Boar's Head procession, by the Butchers. The Carmen do the cart marking. City Freemen with their sheep crossing the river. And 61 nails getting handed back and forth, for eternity. Every year since.... well, who is going to have the oldest ceremony? It's a lost in the mists of time face off between Fiona and Alex. We don't just cross the river, we go upstream for the Doggett's Coat and Badge, and then even further up to check who owns those swans. I want to hear "Good service" "Good Number" and "Whack it boys, whack it!" A lesson for us all. John Stow's inscription: "Either do things worth writing about, or write things worth reading". Here at Ladies Who London we hope we do things worth talking about, and talk about things worth doing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What happens when the high-paced glamour of city life loses its shine? In this episode, I'm joined by my friend, Claire Denault, a second-generation homeschool mom and public speaker, who shares her transformative journey from the opulence of Dallas to the quiet, intentional living of a small North Carolina town. Claire opens up about the stark contrast between high-profile city life and the deeply fulfilling existence she's found in nature, family, and presence.We explore her unique upbringing on a hobby farm in upstate New York, her quest for excitement in the city, and her ultimate realization that true contentment lies in simplicity. A passionate advocate for homeschooling and strong family connections, Claire challenges the modern rush for “more” and makes a compelling case for slowing down, tuning in, and embracing a life rooted in what truly matters. Whether you're a parent, a city dweller contemplating change, or simply curious about a different way of life, this episode will leave you inspired to rethink the choices that shape your daily world.Links Discussed in This Episode |Previous Episode: The Secret to Raising Resilient Kids | Tovah Klein (EP360)Connect with Claire:InstagramAbout Claire |Claire Denault is an innovative educator and entrepreneur advocating for alternative learning approaches.
