L'apertura dei giornali, con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti, tutto in meno di 30 minuti. La Lega sta cercando di rimandare il divieto di circolazione delle auto diesel di classe Euro 5 che dal prossimo ottobre dovrebbe essere imposto in quattro regioni: Lombardia, Veneto, Piemonte ed Emilia-Romagna. Eppure è stato proprio il governo Meloni ad approvare il divieto nel settembre del 2023. Quante auto coinvolge e quanto inquinano effettivamente? Lo chiediamo a Francesco Ramella, direttore esecutivo di Bridges Research e docente di trasporti all'università di Torino.

Dennis und Tobi nehmen euch mit auf eine rasante Reise durch die aktuellen Entwicklungen im Downhill-Weltcup – im Fokus: das vergangene Wochenende in Leogang. Wie gefährlich sind die Strecken wirklich geworden? Und wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen Challenge und Risiko? Neben Tiefgang gibt's auch Reiselust: Dennis erzählt von seinem Trip in die Emilia-Romagna, wo feinste Trails, Cappuccino und Dolce Vita auf dem Programm standen. Tobi hingegen war mit einer illustren Truppe Twitcher:innen in Hamburg unterwegs – was es damit auf sich hat, erfahrt ihr in dieser gewohnt unterhaltsamen Folge. Also: Cold Brew raus, Ohren auf – es wird philosophiert, gelacht und diskutiert!

Ein Paradies für Essen, Schönheit und Lebensart ist diese Region im Norden Italiens, die wundervoll nachhaltig zu bereisen ist. Schon Bologna explodiert fast vor hervorragenden Restaurants, Eisdielen, Feinkostläden und ist super ans Zug-Netz angebunden - eine grüne, junge, lebendige, nachhaltig-orientierte Stadt. Nur einen kurzen Schienen-Trip weiter stehen wir an der Adria-Küste in den nächsten Traumstädten. Wie Rimini samt seiner hinreißen Strandpromenade. Wieder im Inland schlemmen wir uns durch das Käse- und Schinken-Schlaraffenland Parma. Und all das ist nur der Anfang für eine extrem vielseitige, leicht zu erschließende Region. „Italien" bedeutet nicht nur die großen Namen wie „Rom“ oder „Venedig“ - es sind die etwas kleineren Städte und versteckten Ecken der Emilia Romagna, in der wir der Seele dieses Landes mindestens genau so nah kommen.Bei „Bella Italia“ reisen Deutschlands bekannteste Urlaubs-Expertin Tamina Kallert (u. a. „WDR Wunderschön“) sowie Jochen Schliemann und Michael Dietz von „Reisen Reisen - der Podcast“ quer durch das Traum-Urlaubsland Italien.Diese Folge entstand mit freundlicher Unterstützung der ÖBB und Deutsche Bahn:https://www.bahn.de/angebot/urlaub/bahnreisen/summerrail/italien/emilia-romagnaBella Italia LIVE AUF DER BÜHNE - mit Tamina, Jochen, Michi und: Überraschungen!17.11. - Tanzbrunnen in Köln – Tickets überall und hier.

Today we're off to Bologna with travel and culture writer Alex Sakalis. The capital of Emilia-Romagna is nicknamed la dotta (the learned) for its university, the oldest in Europe; la rossa (the red) for both the colour of its buildings and its political leanings; and la grassa (the fat) for its gluttonous cuisine. Join us on a tour of pretty piazzas, porticoed streets and pasta dishes as we uncover the city's distinct identity, rich culinary heritage and surprising jazz pedigree.Discover The Italian Way: https://geni.us/TheItalianWay Hosted on Acast.

El Barcelona se consagró campeón de LaLiga tras vencer por 0-2 al Espanyol en Cornellá. Escuchamos el gol de Lamine Yamal en la voz de Lluís Flaquer, las reacciones que dejó el partido y lo que dijeron los protagonistas. Mientras que en la tarde de hoy, la Unión Deportiva Las Palmas decidió no presentar un reclamo por alineación indebida por parte del Sevilla. Analizamos lo que dejó la jornada 36 de liga. Al mismo tiempo que repasamos las novedades que han surgido en la previa de la fecha 37. También hablamos con Alfredo Relaño para conocer qué opina del presente del Barça y del futuro del Real Madrid. Mientras que fuera del futbol, hablamos con la fisioterapeuta del equipo español de rugby sevens, Henar Lucio. En tenis, Carlos Alcaraz juega las semifinales del Masters 1000 de Roma ante Musetti. También en Italia, empieza la séptima etapa del Giro de Italia y comienza el Gran Premio de la Emilia Romagna. Además, pasamos consulta de nutrición con Javier Fernández.

Si en el primer episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 se analizaron los aspectos más técnicos del circuito de Ímola, en el que recalará la F1 este próximo fin de semana, en este segundo programa toca, no sólo hablar del Gran Premio dell’Emilia Romagna, sino también de la próxima prueba del WRC, el Rally de Portugal, y de la victoria aplastante de Palou en Indianápolis, en el Indy GP, que se prepara ya para acoger las 500 Millas de Indianápolis, a final de mes. Qué podemos esperar en Ímola. El Gran Premio Dell’Emilia Romagna se presenta como una carrera clave en el calendario de Fórmula 1, que da inicio a la temporada Europea, la cual empieza con un apasionante triplete: Ímola, Mónaco y España. Y lo hace con un enfoque en las mejoras técnicas de los equipos y la introducción de nuevos compuestos de neumáticos (recordemos que debuta el C6). Se anticipa una intensa competencia, especialmente con la llegada de esas mejoras significativas en los monoplazas. Y, con el picante añadido de que Newey estará con el equipo Aston Martin ya en circuito. Características que la hacen una pista única. El Autódromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari es conocido por su diseño técnico y sus desafiantes curvas, lo que lo convierte en un circuito emblemático en la Fórmula 1. La gestión de neumáticos y la estrategia de carrera son cruciales debido a las limitadas oportunidades de adelantamiento. Imola tiene 19 curvas y se recorre en sentido antihorario, lo que es poco común en el calendario. Además, la pista es estrecha y presenta bordillos altos, lo que aumenta el estrés mecánico en los coches. Por otro lado, la temperatura de la pista puede superar los 50 °C, afectando la degradación de los neumáticos. En cuanto a la configuración, solo hay una zona DRS, lo que limita las oportunidades de adelantamiento y hace que la clasificación sea vital. Para concluir con esta previa a la primera carrera europea de la temporada, los horarios, con entrenamientos libres el viernes a las 13:30h y a las 17:00h; y el sábado a las 12:30h. La clasificación dará comienzo el sábado a las 16:00h y la carrera verá apagarse los semáforos el domingo a partir de las 15:00h. Indy GP: preparándonos para las 500 Millas de Indianápolis. Resumen breve: victoria de Alex Palou. Otra más. El piloto español ganó de manera magistral, liderando 29 vueltas y superando a sus competidores con una estrategia precisa y una conducción impecable. No todo - aunque sí la mayor parte - es mérito suyo: en Ganassi están también muy acertados con las estrategias. Sea como sea, es su cuarta victoria en cinco carreras, consolidándose como líder del campeonato. Todo el mundo teme este estado de forma tan brutal que recuerda a periodos anteriores en Estados Unidos como los de Dario Franchitti, Juan Pablo Montoya o Sebastian Bourdais. Próxima cita: La Indianápolis 500, donde Palou buscará continuar su racha histórica. El WRC llega a Portugal ¿volverá a brillar Rovanpera? Y, por si fuera poco lo que nos espera este fin de semana, también tendremos WRC, con el desafiante Rally de Portugal y sus espectaculares saltos. Una prueba con pistas técnicas y exigentes. El mundial, además de estar aún en su primer tercio (Portugal será la 5ª de 14 pruebas), está muy reñido e interesante, con la polémica inclusión del “Super Sunday” de este año, que al menos está trayendo mucho morbo a la clasificación. ¿Veremos a un Rovanpera tan fuerte como en Canarias? ¿O será Evans, que lleva un año muy inspirado, el que se lleve el Rally? Pero, ojo, que el vigente Campeón, Neuville, tampoco está nada mal este año… lo dicho, un rally espectacular que merece mucho la pena.

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.

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.

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.

Rosie takes us to Emilia-Romagna for some erbazzone and shares why she sees Parmesan as a kind of culinary medicine. There's big love for London favourites too, including the crisp pink dosa at Rasa, deep chilli heat at Xi-an Impressions, and perfect service at Sessions Arts Club.And then there's the Hall of Fame dish: a shrimp and scallion pancake from Piazz that, in Rosie's words, made her feel whole again. We also get into her biggest food trend icks, why certain garnishes should be banned, her failed acting career and the one word she'd love to see retired from recipe vocabulary forever (spoiler: it's “hack”).Rosie's new book In For Dinner is full of the kind of recipes you'll actually want to cook—comforting, clever, and affordable.

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.
