In questo nuovo episodio di True Crime Diaries Jacopo Pezzan e Giacomo Brunoro affrontano la madre di tutte le stragi, la Strage di Piazza Fontana. Ospite della puntata di oggi Giorgio Gazzotti, giornalista, coautore di “Alto Tradimento – La guerra segreta agli italiani, da piazza Fontana alla strage di Bologna” (Castelvecchi), e autore dei podcast "La storia sconosciuta di Piazza Fontana" e "Sei innocenti per una strage. La macchinazione di Peteano". Con Gazzotti si è parlato non solo della strage in sé e di come, nonostante quello che si dica, siano state chiarite oltre ogni dubbio le responsabilità sulla strage in capo a Ordine Nuovo veneto, ma anche dell'esistenza di un misterioso e fantomatico video che inchioderebbe i responsabili materiali della strage, girato addirittura da Tom Ponzi (altro personaggio su cui ci sarebbe tantissimo da dire e... da indagare!). Un'occasione anche per fare chiarezza sulla strategia della tensione e sulle trame nere che hanno visti coinvolti a diversi livelli tanti uomini dello Stato in maniera attiva tra depistaggi, macchinazioni e vere e proprie azioni di sabotaggio.___________________________Qui trovi i nostri libri!

all'altra, sistemando i costumi e appendendo le ultime decorazioni colorate per il Carnevale.En: Martina ran from one room to another, arranging the costumes and hanging the final colorful decorations for Carnevale.It: Era una giornata fredda d'inverno, ma dentro la casa c'era calore ed eccitazione.En: It was a cold winter day, but inside the house there was warmth and excitement.It: Il profumo dolce delle chiacchiere fresche riempiva l'aria, e i suoni di risate e preparativi erano ovunque.En: The sweet scent of fresh chiacchiere filled the air, and the sounds of laughter and preparations were everywhere.It: "È tutto pronto, mamma?"En: "Is everything ready, mom?"It: chiese Luca, il volto incerto.En: asked Luca, his face uncertain.It: Era in piedi vicino alla finestra, guardando la neve

"Come on, Luca, it will be fun!"It: lo incoraggiò Giorgio, mentre agitava una bacchetta piena di nastri colorati.En: encouraged Giorgio, while waving a wand full of colorful ribbons.It: Giorgio, il fratello entusiasta di Martina, era sempre pronto ad aiutare, anche se spesso il suo aiuto portava a più confusione che altro.En: Giorgio, Martina's enthusiastic brother, was always ready to help, even though his help often led to more confusion than anything else.It: Martina guardava i due, cercando di mantenere la calma.En: Martina watched the two, trying to stay calm.It: "Luca, ci conto su di te.En: "Luca, I'm counting on you.It: Basta essere te stesso," disse con un sorriso rassicurante.En: Just be yourself," she said with a reassuring smile.It: Anche se dentro di sé sapeva che il vero problema era tener d'occhio Giorgio.En: Although inside, she knew the real challenge was keeping an eye on Giorgio.It: Giorni di preparativi stavano culminando quella mattina.En: Days of preparations were culminating that morning.It: Martina voleva che tutto fosse perfetto.En: Martina wanted everything to be perfect.It: La parata del Carnevale era una tradizione speciale per il quartiere.En: The Carnevale parade was a special tradition for the neighborhood.It: Poi, all'improvviso, cominciò il caos.En: Then, suddenly, chaos began.It: Mentre Giorgio cercava di spostare una grande torta di carnevale, inciampò, e la torta volò in aria, finendo sul pavimento in un disastro di panna e zuccherini.En: While Giorgio was trying to move a large carnevale cake, he tripped, and the cake flew into the air, landing on the floor in a disaster of cream and sprinkles.It: "Oh no!"En: "Oh no!"It: gridò Martina, cercando di salvare almeno qualche pezzo.En: cried Martina, trying to save at least a few pieces.It: Nel frattempo, Luca sembrava essere svanito.En: Meanwhile, Luca seemed to have vanished.It: "Dove potrebbe essere andato?"En: "Where could he have gone?"It: si domandò Martina, con un pizzico di preoccupazione.En: Martina wondered, with a hint of worry.It: Si sentiva sopraffatta.En: She felt overwhelmed.It: Gli ospiti sarebbero arrivati fra poco e niente sembrava andare come aveva programmato.En: The guests would arrive soon, and nothing seemed to be going as she had planned.It: Però, qualcosa dentro di lei le disse che doveva improvvisare.En: However, something inside her told her she needed to improvise.It: Allora, con un sorriso deciso, Martina chiamò i vicini.En: Then, with a determined smile, Martina called the neighbors.It: In poco tempo, la casa si riempì di persone volenterose, chi accorreva con nuove torte, chi con altro aiuto.En: In no time, the house was filled with willing people, some bringing new cakes, others offering help.It: Tutti ridevano e scherzavano, contagiando l'intera atmosfera di allegria.En: Everyone laughed and joked, spreading joy throughout the entire atmosphere.It: E poi, quando sembrava che la festa fosse ormai salvata, le note di una musica iniziavano a farsi sentire dalla strada.En: And then, when it seemed that the party was saved, the notes of music began to be heard from the street.It: Era Luca!En: It was Luca!It: Arrivava con un piccolo carro pieno di decorazioni che aveva preparato con i suoi amici.En: He was arriving with a small cart full of decorations he had prepared with his friends.It: Tutto il suo viso brillava di orgoglio e il suo imbarazzo era scomparso.En: His whole face glowed with pride, and his embarrassment had vanished.It: Martina non poteva credere ai suoi occhi.En: Martina couldn't believe her eyes.It: La parata cominciò e tutti si unirono alla festosità.En: The parade began, and everyone joined in the festivity.It: La casa era piena di sorrisi, la strada era viva di colori, e il cuore di Martina era colmo di gioia.En: The house was full of smiles, the street was alive with colors, and Martina's heart was filled with joy.It: In quel momento, capì che non importava se tutto non era perfetto.En: In that moment, she realized that it didn't matter if everything wasn't perfect.It: La bellezza stava proprio lì, in quell'imperfezione che aveva portato tutti insieme, e che aveva insegnato a Luca quanto i momenti in famiglia e le tradizioni fossero preziosi.En: The beauty was right there, in that imperfection that had brought everyone together, and had taught Luca how precious family moments and traditions were.It: Una tradizione di famiglia che, in fondo, era stata più che perfetta.En: A family tradition that, in the end, was more than perfect.

In questa nuova puntata viene reso omaggio a Giorgio Jano, figura singolare e straordinaria del panorama fotografico torinese, scomparso nell’estate del 2024. A condurre l’intervista è Carola Allemandi che dialoga con Piero Ottaviano, fotografo, amico fraterno di Jano e oggi curatore del suo archivio. La conversazione ripercorre la vita e l’opera di un fotografo definito un “outsider”, noto per il suo approccio sperimentale e ingegneristico. Jano, infatti, non si limitava a scattare, ma progettava e costruiva personalmente le sue macchine fotografiche, spesso panoramiche e rotanti, assemblando pezzi di recupero trovati nei mercatini con ottiche di altissima qualità. Un lavoro artigianale che univa una profonda competenza matematica e ottica a una visione artistica unica. Durante l’episodio vengono toccati numerosi temi fondamentali per comprendere la sua poetica. Si parte dal sodalizio professionale e umano tra Jano e Ottaviano, nato grazie a una comune visione della fotografia panoramica e sfociato nel libro “50 fotografie senza mirino”, un progetto a quattro mani che ha messo a confronto le architetture di Milano e Torino. Ampio spazio è dedicato all’analisi di “La Danseuse”, un’opera monumentale del 1999 esposta recentemente a Torino: una stampa su un unico foglio di 11 metri per 80 centimetri, realizzata grazie a un ingranditore motorizzato costruito dallo stesso Jano. L’opera inverte i ruoli tradizionali della fotografia panoramica: qui è il soggetto (la ballerina) a ruotare in sincronia con la pellicola, mentre la macchina resta ferma, creando un effetto di continuità infinita. L’intervista esplora anche il delicato lavoro di riordino dell’archivio, che ha portato alla luce negativi inediti raffiguranti nature morte di ingranaggi, orologi e meccanismi, svelando un’estetica geometrica finora poco conosciuta. Viene inoltre raccontato l’ultimo progetto incompiuto di Jano sul Parco dei Mostri di Bomarzo, che è stato portato a termine postumo da Piero Ottaviano insieme alla regista Sara Tamburro, trasformandosi in un documentario. Non mancano infine riferimenti al lato più intimo dell’autore, dai suoi scritti poetici recentemente donati a Carola Allemandi, fino agli aneddoti personali che restituiscono l’immagine di un uomo colto, ironico e infaticabile sperimentatore.

Send us a textBurnout isn't a sign you're failing - it's a sign that something in your business is either misaligned or mismanaged. In this episode, I'm joined by Brittany Rogars, a coach and consultant, to break down why burnout is often feedback, not a red flag, and how to figure out what the problem really is, before you try to fix it.We talk about how burnout shows up in the body, why the loss of joy is often the first clue, and how so many women end up burned out not because they can't handle business, but because they've been carrying too much without the right support, systems, or boundaries.We also discuss:How to tell if burnout is coming from misalignment or mismanagementWhat to change when your business no longer fits your values or season of lifeSimple systems, SOPs, and delegation that immediately reduce mental loadThe 24-hour “process day” Brittany recommends when you're already at the edgeIf your business feels heavier than it used to, this conversation will help you identify the smallest shifts that can create the most relief - without burning everything down, starting over, or pushing harder.Links & References:If you're serious about growing your business in 2025, check out the new Powerful Women Rising Connection Network!Episode 77: How to Set Boundaries Without Feeling Like a BitchLearn more about Brittany: https://brittanyrogars.com/homeConnect with Brittany on Instagram or LinkedInSupport the showConnect with Your Host!Melissa Snow is a Business Relationship Strategist dedicated to empowering women in entrepreneurship.

olives.It: Ma troppo tardi.En: But too late.It: Un passo in fallo, un piccolo grido, e Elena cadde tra le foglie, stringendosi la caviglia.En: A misstep, a small cry, and Elena fell among the leaves,

the pain.It: "Solo una storta," disse, cercando di rassicurarlo.En: "Just a sprain," she said, trying to reassure him.It: Tuttavia, Giorgio sapeva che senza l'aiuto di Elena, il lavoro sarebbe stato difficile da completare in tempo.En: However, Giorgio knew that without Elena's help, the work would be difficult to complete on time.It: Natale si avvicinava, e le olive dovevano essere vendute al mercato delle feste.En: Christmas was approaching, and the olives needed to be sold at the holiday market.It: Ogni giorno, mentre l'ombra degli ulivi si allungava, Giorgio lavorava più intensamente.En: Every day, as the shadows of the olive trees lengthened, Giorgio worked more intensely.It: Elena, seduta su una coperta, faceva del suo meglio per aiutare, cantando melodie natalizie per sollevare il morale del fratello.En: Elena, sitting on a blanket, did her best to help, singing Christmas melodies to lift her brother's spirits.It: Ma Giorgio non poteva fare a meno di preoccuparsi.En: But Giorgio couldn't help but worry.It: Il tempo stringeva, e ancora molti alberi attendevano la raccolta.En: Time was running out, and many trees still awaited harvest.It: Una sera, dopo una giornata di lavoro, Giorgio si sedette accanto a Elena.En: One evening, after a day of work, Giorgio sat next to Elena.It: "Non ce la faremo mai da soli," ammise, il tono di voce grave.En: "We will never make it on our own," he admitted, his voice grave.It: "Forse dovrei chiedere aiuto ai vicini."En: "Perhaps I should ask the neighbors for help."It: Elena, con uno sguardo sicuro, suggerì: "Dovresti farlo.En: Elena, with a confident look, suggested, "You should do it.It: Non c'è nulla di male nel chiedere aiuto."En: There's nothing wrong with asking for help."It: Le sue parole trasmettevano una calda determinazione, qualcosa che Giorgio apprezzava immensamente.En: Her words conveyed a warm determination, something Giorgio appreciated immensely.It: Finalmente, Giorgio fece il giro del villaggio quella notte.En: Finally, Giorgio made the rounds of the village that night.It: Con grande sorpresa, i suoi vicini furono lieti di aiutare.En: To his great surprise, his neighbors were happy to help.It: Il giorno seguente, un piccolo esercito di volti amichevoli affollò il boschetto, raccogliendo olive insieme a lui.En: The next day, a small army of friendly faces filled the grove, picking olives alongside him.It: L'energia e la gioia dell'intera comunità rendevano il lavoro più leggero e piacevole.En: The energy and joy of the entire community made the work lighter and more enjoyable.It: Alla vigilia di Natale, il raccolto fu completato.En: On Christmas Eve, the harvest was completed.It: Giorgio e Elena, seduti nella cucina accogliente, decorarono un piccolo albero mentre fuori cadeva la prima neve.En: Giorgio and Elena, sitting in the cozy kitchen, decorated a small tree while outside, the first snow was falling.It: L'infortunio di Elena era quasi guarito e il sorriso sul suo volto era la luce più luminosa nella stanza.En: Elena's injury was almost healed, and the smile on her face was the brightest light in the room.It: "Abbiamo fatto davvero un miracolo," disse Giorgio, posando una mano sulla spalla della sorella.En: "We really did a miracle," said Giorgio, placing a hand on his sister's shoulder.It: "Tutti noi lo abbiamo fatto," rispose Elena, indicando il piccolo albero decorato, simbolo di un Natale speciale, reso possibile grazie all'aiuto di tutti.En: "We all did it," replied Elena, pointing to the small decorated tree, a symbol of a special Christmas made possible thanks to everyone's help.It: Quel Natale, Giorgio imparò che l'importanza della comunità è fondamentale.En: That Christmas, Giorgio learned that the importance of community is essential.It: Capì che nei momenti di bisogno, non è debolezza chiedere aiuto, ma un gesto di forza.En: He understood that in times of need, it is not weakness to ask for help but an act of strength.It: E così, nel calore della casa, mentre bevevano vino caldo, Giorgio ed Elena celebrarono la bellezza e la semplicità dell'amore fraterno e dell'amicizia sincera.En: And so, in the warmth of the house, as they drank mulled wine, Giorgio and Elena celebrated the beauty and simplicity of brotherly love and sincere friendship.

There are travel experiences… and then there are stories you tell for the rest of your life. Total Tuscany Podcast Episode 97 delivers one of those stories, taking listeners deep into the heart of Italy with Dream Italy's unforgettable Viva Italia Experience. The episode marks a long-awaited return for the podcast, and hosts Travis Justice and Pat Campagna come back swinging with a conversation that perfectly captures what Total Tuscany has always been about: extraordinary experiences over ordinary trips. Their guest, Giorgio Dell'Artino, founder of Dream Italy, doesn't just sell tours—he curates once-in-a-lifetime moments. Viva Italia began with a simple but brilliant idea. Why not let travelers experience Tuscany the way Italians dream about it—behind the wheel of a world-class luxury car, carving through the rolling hills of Siena? What started with two exotic cars has evolved into a fully immersive, fully supported self-drive luxury experience spanning Tuscany, Italy, and even parts of France. Picture this: you slide into a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Maserati, the engine growling as vineyard-lined roads unfold in front of you. A professional tour leader guides the route. Every detail—fuel, logistics, hotels, meals, parking, and support—is handled. You don't worry about directions, traffic rules, or flat tires. You simply drive, savor, and experience Italy in a way very few ever will. As Giorgio explains, Viva Italia isn't about reckless speed. It's about control, confidence, and connection—to the road, the landscape, and the culture. The routes are carefully chosen for beauty and safety, with moments where drivers can truly feel what these cars were built to do. And yes, guests even rotate cars during the tour, giving them the chance to experience multiple vehicles. What makes this episode especially compelling is the depth of Dream Italy's philosophy. Since 1997, Giorgio has personally built relationships with nearly 2,000 top-tier suppliers—from five-star hotels and historic castles to private yachts, Michelin-level dining, and exclusive cultural access. Every Viva Italia itinerary is customized, whether it's a two-day Tuscan escape or a multi-day journey from Rome to Milan, Venice to the Dolomites, Sicily, or the French Riviera. The conversation also highlights why Tuscany remains Italy's most beloved region: art, food, wine, history, countryside, and soul—all in one place. Yet Viva Italia proves that Italy can still surprise even the most seasoned traveler. This is more than a driving tour. It's luxury travel redefined, where time is valued, privacy is protected, and memories are guaranteed. If you've ever dreamed of Italy—and dreamed big—Episode 97 of the Total Tuscany Podcast will make you want to turn the key, press the accelerator, and shout it loud: Viva Italia.

Giorgio BorriniAssessore alla Cultura di SarzanaCandidata Capitale di Cultura 2028L'impavida.Sarzana crocevia del futuro.Sarzana non è borgo né metropoli, ma una città-tessitrice che connette storie, persone, imprese e territorio. La candidatura mette in campo progetti concreti, una governance solida, e investimenti mirati per rigenerare spazi, sostenere imprese e migliorare la vita delle persone.Sarzana 2028 è la sfida di una città impavida che, partendo dalla cultura, costruisce il proprio futuro e si propone come un modello replicabile per l'Italia delle città medie e dei territori.Sarzana è oggi l'unica città della Liguria a candidarsi a Capitale italiana della cultura e rappresenta l'intera Regione in una prospettiva euro-mediterranea e transfrontaliera.Culla di uno straordinario patrimonio storico, artistico e religioso, Sarzana sceglie oggi la cultura come leva strategica per lo sviluppo. Una cultura che non è nostalgia del passato ma una proposta che mette insieme identità, produzione locale e nuove competenze.Il progetto punta a rendere la città un laboratorio di pratiche sostenibili: turismo lento, reti produttive locali, percorsi formativi e valorizzazione del paesaggio.L'impavidità, radicata nell'identità storica di Sarzana, dà il nome al suo Teatro Civico oggi centro di produzione a livello nazionale ed è parte integrante di ogni capitolo della sua storia e vita quotidiana. Oggi Sarzana guarda senza paura al futuro. In questa prospettiva la cultura è azione pubblica, a favore della coesione sociale e della cura dei beni comuni. La Fortezza Firmafede, trasformata da architettura militare in spazio di dialogo e diffusione dei saperi, è il simbolo più immediato e protagonista di un progetto ideale di apertura degli spazi e rigenerazione urbana guidata dalla cultura.La candidatura di Sarzana a Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2028 nasce da un percorso avviato nel 2021, inserito nei documenti strategici comunali e sostenuto da una visione di sviluppo pluriennale. Ha coinvolto istituzioni, partner nazionali e internazionali e un ampio tessuto sociale e culturale, sotto la direzione di Umberto Croppi e di un comitato scientifico multidisciplinare.Sarzana, 22.000 abitanti, è da sempre un punto d'incontro strategico tra Liguria, Emilia e Toscana, crocevia della Via Francigena e della Via della Costa. Il suo territorio è un mosaico di borghi, coste e montagne attraversato dal fiume Magra, che unisce valle, mare e colline. Un tessuto connettivo che collega la Lunigiana storica alla Liguria e al Golfo dei Poeti in una dimensione culturale e geografica unica.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

MansfieldVertical drop: 2,360 feet lift-served, 3,130 feet hike-toSkiable acres: 485Average annual snowfall: 314 inchesTrail count: 116 (16% beginner, 55% intermediate, 29% advanced)Lift count: 12 (1 eight-passenger gondola, 1 six-passenger gondola, 1 six-pack, 3 high-speed quads, 1 fixed-grip quad, 1 triple, 2 doubles, 2 carpets)Why I interviewed himThere is no Aspen of the East, but if I had to choose an Aspen of the East, it would be Stowe. And not just because Aspen Mountain and Stowe offer a similar fierce-down, with top-to-bottom fall-line zippers and bumpy-bumps spliced by massive glade pockets. Not just because each ski area rises near the far end of densely bunched resorts that the skier must drive past to reach them. Not just because the towns are similarly insular and expensive and tucked away. Not just because the wintertime highway ends at both places, an anachronistic act of surrender to nature from a mechanized world accustomed to fencing out the seasons. And not just because each is a cultural stand-in for mechanized skiing in a brand-obsessed, half-snowy nation that hates snow and is mostly filled with non-skiers who know nothing about the activity other than the fact that it exists. Everyone knows about Aspen and Stowe even if they'll never ski, in the same way that everyone knows about LeBron James even if they've never watched basketball.All of that would be sufficient to make the Stowe-is-Aspen-East argument. But the core identity parallel is one that threads all these tensions while defying their assumed outcome. Consider the remoteness of 1934 Stowe and 1947 Aspen, two mountains in the pre-snowmaking, pre-interstate era, where cutting a ski area only made sense because that's where it snowed the most. Both grew in similar fashion. First slowly toward the summit with surface lifts and mile-long single chairs crawling up the incline. Then double chairs and gondolas and snowguns and detachable chairlifts. A ski area for the town evolves into a ski area for the world. Hotels a la luxe at the base, traffic backed up to the interstate, corporate owners and $261 lift tickets.That sounds like a formula for a ruined world. But Stowe the ski area, like Aspen Mountain the ski area, has never lost its wild soul. Even buffed out and six-pack equipped and Epic Pass-enabled, Stowe remains a hell of a mountain, one of the best in New England, one of my favorite anywhere. With its monster snowfalls, its endless and perfectly spaced glades, its never-groomed expert zones, its sprawling footprint tucked beneath the Mansfield summit, its direct access to rugged and forbidding backcountry, Stowe, perhaps the most western-like mountain in the East, remains a skier's mountain, a fierce and humbling proving ground, an any-skier's destination not because of its trimmings, but because of the Christmas tree itself.Still, Stowe will never be Aspen, because Stowe does not sit at 8,000 feet and Stowe does not have three accessory ski areas and Stowe the Town does not grid from the lift base like Aspen the Town but rather lies eight miles down the road. Also Stowe is owned by Vail Resorts, and can you just imagine? But in a cultural moment that assumes ski area ruination-by-the-consolidation-modernization-mega-passification axis-of-mainstreaming, Aspen and Stowe tell mirrored versions of a more nuanced story. Two ski areas, skinned in the digital-mechanical infrastructure that modernity demands, able to at once accommodate the modern skier and the ancient mountain, with all of its quirks and character. All of its amazing skiing.What we talked aboutStowe the Legend; Vail Resorts' leadership carousel; ascending to ski area leadership without on-mountain experience; Mount Brighton, Michigan and Midwest skiing; struggles at Paoli Peaks, Indiana; how the Sunrise six-pack upgrade of the old Mountain triple changed the mountain; whether the Four Runner quad could ever become a six-pack; considering the future of the Lookout Double and Mansfield Gondola; who owns the land in and around the ski area; whether Stowe has terrain expansion potential; the proposed Smugglers' Notch gondola connection and whether Vail would ever buy Smuggs; “you just don't understand how much is here until you're here”; why Stowe only claims 485 acres of skiable terrain; protecting the Front Four; extending Stowe's season last spring; snowmaking in a snowbelt; the impact and future of paid parking; on-mountain bed-base potential; Epic Friend 50 percent off lift tickets; and Stowe locals and the Epic Pass.What I got wrongOn detailsI noted that one of my favorite runs was not a marked run at all: the terrain beneath the Lookout double chair. In fact, most of the trail beneath this mile-plus-long lift is a market run called, uh, “Lookout.” So I stand corrected. However, the trailmap makes this full-throttle, narrow bumper – which feels like skiing on a rising tide – look wide, peaceful, and groomable. It is none of those things, at least for its first third or so.On skiable acres* I said that Killington claimed “like 1,600 acres” of terrain – the exact claimed number is 1,509 acres.* I said that Mad River Glen claimed far fewer skiable acres than it probably could, but I was thinking of an out-of-date stat. The mountain claims just 115 acres of trails – basically nothing for a 2,000-vertical-foot mountain, but also “800 acres of tree-skiing access.” The number listed on the Pass Smasher Deluxe is 915 acres.On season closingsI intimated that Stowe had always closed the third weekend in April. That appears to be mostly true for the past two-ish decades, which is as far back as New England Ski History has records. The mountain did push late once, however, in 2007, and closed early during the horrible no-snow winter of 2011-12 (April 1), and the Covid-is-here-to-kill-us-all shutdown of 2020 (March 14).On doing better prepI asked whether Stowe had considered making its commuter bus free, but it, um, already is. That's called Reeserch, Folks.On lift ticket ratesI claimed that Stowe's top lift ticket price would drop from $239 last year to $235 this coming season, but that's inaccurate. Upon further review, the peak walk-up rate appears to be increasing to $261 this coming winter:Which means Vail's record of cranking Stowe lift ticket rates up remains consistent:On opening hoursI said that the lifts at Stowe sometimes opened at “7:00 or 7:30,” but the earliest ski lift currently opens at 8:00 most mornings (the Over Easy transit gondola opens at 7:30). The Fourrunner quad used to open at 7:30 a.m. on weekends and holidays. I'm not sure when mountain ops changed that. Here's the lift schedule clipped from the circa 2018 trailmap:On Mount Brighton, Michigan's supposed trashheap legacyI'd read somewhere, sometime, that Mount Brighton had been built on dirt moved to make way for Interstate 96, which bores across the state about a half mile north of the ski area. The timelines match, as this section of I-96 was built between 1956 and '57, just before Brighton opened in 1960. This circa 1962 article from The Livingston Post, a local paper, fails to mention the source of the dirt, leaving me uncertain as to whether or not the hill is related to the highway:Why you should ski StoweFrom my April 10 visit last winter, just cruising mellow, low-angle glades nearly to the base:I mean, the place is just:I love it, Man. My top five New England mountains, in no particular order, are Sugarbush, Stowe, Jay, Smuggs, and Sugarloaf. What's best on any given day depends on conditions and crowding, but if you only plan to ski the East once, that's your list.Podcast NotesOn Stowe being the last 1,000-plus-vertical-foot Vermont ski area that I featured on the podYou can view the full podcast catalogue here. But here are the past Vermont eps:* Killington & Pico – 2019 | 2023 | 2025* Stratton 2024* Okemo 2023* Middlebury Snowbowl 2023* Mount Snow 2020 | 2023* Bromley 2022* Jay Peak 2022 | 2020* Smugglers' Notch 2021* Bolton Valley 2021* Hermitage Club 2020* Sugarbush 2020 with current president John Hammond | 2020 with past owner Win Smith* Mad River Glen 2020* Magic Mountain 2019 | 2020* Burke 2019On Stowe having “peers, but no betters” in New EnglandWhile Stowe doesn't stand out in any one particular statistical category, the whole of the place stacks up really well to the rest of New England - here's a breakdown of the 63 public ski areas that spin chairlifts across the six-state region:On the Front Four ski runsThe “Front Four” are as synonymous with Stowe as the Back Bowls are with Vail Mountain or Corbet's Couloir is with Jackson Hole. These Stowe trails are steep, narrow, double-plus-fall-line bangers that, along with Castlerock at Sugarbush and Paradise at Mad River Glen, are among the most challenging runs in New England.The problem is determining which of the double-blacks spiderwebbing off the top of Fourrunner are part of the Front Four. Officially, the designation has always bucketed National, Liftline, Goat, and Starr together, but Bypass, Haychute, and Lookout could sub in most days. Credit to Stowe for keeping these wild trails intact for going on a century, but what I said about them “not being for the masses” on the podcast wasn't quite accurate, as the lower portions of many - especially Liftline - are wide, often groomed, and not particularly treacherous. The best end-to-end trail is Goat, which is insanely steep and narrow up top. Here's part of Goat's middle-to-lower section, which is mellower but a good portrayal of New England bumpy, exposed-dirt-and-rocks gnar, especially at the :19 mark:The most glorious ego boost (or ego check) is the few hundred vertical feet of Liftline directly below Fourrunner. Sound on for scrapey-scrape:When the cut trails get icy, you can duck into the adjacent glades, most of which are unmarked but skiable. Here, I bailed into the trees skier's left of Starr to escape the ice rink:On Vail Resorts' leadership shufflesTwelve of Vail's 37 North American ski areas began the 2024-25 ski season with a different leader than they ended the 2023-24 ski season with. This included five of the company's New England resorts, including Stowe. Giorgio, in fact, became the ski area's third general manager in three winters, and the fourth since Vail acquired the ski area in 2017. I asked Giorgio about this, as a follow up to a similar set of questions I'd laid out for Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz in August:I may be overthinking this, but check this out: between 2017 and 2024, Vail Resorts changed leadership at its North American ski areas more than 70 times - the yellow boxes below mark a new president-general-manager equivalent (red boxes indicate that Vail did not yet own the ski area):To reset my thinking here: I can't say that this constant leadership shuffle is inherently dysfunctional, and most Vail Resorts employees I speak with appreciate the company's upward-mobility culture. And I consistently find Vail's mountain leaders - dozens of whom I have hosted on this podcast - to be smart, earnest, and caring. However, it's hard to imagine that the constant turnover in top management isn't at least somewhat related to Vail Resorts' on-the-ground reputational issues, truncated seasons at non-core ski areas (see Paoli Peaks section below), and general sense that the company's arc of investment bends toward its destination resorts.On Peak ResortsVail purchased all of Peak Resorts, including Mount Snow, where Giorgio worked, in 2019. Here's that company's growth timeline:On Vernon Valley-Great GorgeThe ski area now known as Mountain Creek was Vernon Valley-Great Gorge until 1997. Anyone who grew up in the area still calls the joint by its legacy name.On Paoli Peaks versus Perfect NorthMy hope is that if I complain enough about Paoli Peaks, Vail will either invest enough in snowmaking to tranform it into a functional ski area or sell it. Here are the differences between Paoli's season lengths since 2013 as compared to Perfect North, its competitor that is the only other active ski area in the state:What explains this longstanding disparity, which certainly predates Vail's 2019 acquisition of the ski area? Paoli does sit southwest of Perfect North, but its base is 200 feet higher (600 feet, versus 400 for Perfect), so elevation doesn't explain it. Perfect does benefit from a valley location, which, longtime GM Jonathan Davis told me a few years back, locks in the cold air and supercharges snowmaking. The simplest answer, however, is probably the correct one: Perfect North has built one of the most impressive snowmaking systems on the planet, and they use it aggressively, cranking more than 200 guns at once. At peak operations, Perfect can transform from green grass to skiable terrain in just a couple of days.So yes, Perfect has always been a better operation than Paoli. But check this out: Paoli's performance as compared to Perfect's has been considerably worse in the five full seasons of Vail Resorts' ownership (excluding 2019-20), than in the six seasons before, with Perfect besting Paoli to open by an average of 21 days before Vail arrived, and by 31 days after. Perfect's seasons lasted an average of 25 days longer than Paoli's before Vail arrived, and 38 days longer after:Yes, Paoli is a uniquely challenged ski area, but I'm confident that someone can do a better job running this place than Vail has been doing since 2019. Certainly, that someone could be Vail, which has the resources and institutional knowledge to transform this, or any ski area, into a center of SnoSportSkiing excellence. So far, however, they have declined to do so, and I keep thinking of what Davis, Perfect North's longtime GM, said on the pod in 2022: “If Vail doesn't want [its ski areas in Indiana and Ohio], we'll take them!”On the 2022 Sunrise Six replacement for the tripleIn 2022, Stowe replaced the Mountain triple chair, which sat up a flight of steep steps from the parking lot, with the at-grade Sunrise six-pack. It was the kind of big-time lift upgrade that transforms the experience of an entire ski area for everyone, whether they use the new lift or not, by pulling skiers toward a huge pod of underutilized terrain and away from longtime alpha lifts Fourrunner and the Mansfield Gondola.On Fourrunner as a vert machineStowe's Fourruner high-speed quad is one of the most incredible lifts in American skiing, a lightspeed-fast base-to-summit, 2,040-vertical-foot monster with direct access to some of the best terrain west of A-Basin.The highest vert total in my 54-day 2024-25 ski season came (largely) courtesy of this lift - and I only skied five-and-a-half hours:On Stowe-Smuggs proximity and the proposed gondola and a long drive in winterAdventurous skiers can skin or hike across the top of Stowe's Spruce Peak and ski down into the Smugglers' Notch ski area. An official ski trail once connected them, and Smuggs proposed a gondola connector a couple of years back. If Vail were to purchase sprawling Smuggs, a Canyons-Park City mega-connection – while improbable given local environmental lobbies -could instantly transform Stowe into one of the largest ski areas in the East.On Jay Peak's big snowmaking upgradesI referenced big offseason snowmaking upgrades for water-challenged (but natural-snow blessed), Jay Peak. I was referring to this:This season brings an over $1.5M snowmaking upgrade that's less about muscle and more about brains. We've added 49 brand new HKD Low E air-water snowmaking guns—32 on Queen's Highway and 17 on Perry Merrill. These aren't your drag-'em-out, hook-'em-up, hope-it's-cold-enough kind of guns. They're fixed in place for the season and far more efficient, using much less compressed air than the ones they replace. Translation: better snow, less energy.On Perry Merrill, things get even slicker. We've installed HKD Klik automated hydrants that come with built-in weather stations. The second temps hit 28 degrees wetbulb, these hydrants kick on automatically and adjust the flow as the mercury drops. No waiting, no guesswork, no scrambling the crew. The end result? Those key connecting trails between Tramside and Stateside get covered faster, which means you can ski from one side to the other—or straight back to your condo—without having to hop on a shuttle with your boots still buckled. …It's all part of a bigger 10-year snowmaking plan we're rolling out—more automation, better efficiency, and ultimately, better snow for you to ski and ride on.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Giorgio Ghiotti"L'avvenire"Pier Paolo prima di PasoliniEditrice Carabbawww.editricecarabba.itCiampino 1950. Anna, abbandonata Roma e il suo appartamento all'Esquilino, fonda insieme al marito la “Francesco Petrarca”, prima scuola media paritaria della città. È il tempo dei desideri luminosi, delle grandi passioni e delle delusioni scottanti. È il tempo dell'avvenire, raccontato seguendo le tracce di un giovane uomo, che divide la sua vitatra insegnamento e scrittura, un ragazzo chiamato Pier Paolo Pasolini, ben prima che la fama e lo scandalo rendano la sua storia una leggenda. Sono gli anni in cui lavora di notte all'Antologia della poesia popolare e alla stesura di Ragazzi di vita, firmando le prime sceneggiature e visitando un centro Italia mitico e allucinato con l'amico Giorgio Bassani: ecco dunque l'autore de Le ceneri di Gramsci, qui ritratto in forma inedita tra pubblico e privato, scisso fra i suoi alunni e la madre Susanna, tra gli sfollati del Sacro Cuore e il ricordo del fratello Guido, tra infanzia e letteratura. In mezzo, il sogno e il senso delle parole, all'interno di una geografia che dalla campagna laziale si snoda fino a Milano. Ma l'avvenire è anche quello dell'Italia del primo dopoguerra, è il canto di un'intera nazione che prova a emanciparsi e ad allestire un futuro possibile, reinventandosi dal silenzio delle macerie.«Il pallone che hai calciato nel '70 / è ancora qui, Renzo, in piazza dei Sanniti, / è alle mie spalle stese contro il sole / a dire, delle nostre, la tua giovinezza»: così recita una poesia di Giorgio Ghiotti (Roma, 1994), talento precoce della letteratura italiana che ha colpito pubblico e critica fin dalle sue prime prove per la freschezza e la bellezza della scrittura. Nato a Roma nel 1994, ancora giovanissimo cattura l'attenzione di Chiara Valerio, che all'interno della collana narrativa.it pubblica nel 2013 la raccolta di racconti Dio Giocava a pallone. Protagonisti delle storie sono ragazzi nati, come l'autore, all'inizio degli anni Novanta: il libro segue il loro passaggio all'età adulta, tra compiti in classe, innamoramenti, corse in motorino. Nel 2016 è la volta di Rondini per formiche, esordio romanzesco che esplora il legame e la complicità tra due fratelli in una Roma sognante e visionaria. Nello stesso anno, Ghiotti firma Mesdemoiselles. Le nuove signore della scrittura, un libro di interviste a grandi scrittrici e poetesse italiane, e la sua prima raccolta di poesie, Estinzione dell'uomo bambino. Attualmente collabora con diverse testate, tra le quali Il manifesto, Minima&moralia, Nazione Indiana e Nuovi argomenti. Già candidato allo Strega nel 2020 con Gli occhi vuoti dei santi, è stato ricandidato nel 2022 dalla scrittrice e giornalista Sandra Petrignani con il romanzo Atti di un mancato addio.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Esiste una memoria ancestrale? E da dove viene il moderno gatto domestico? In questo episodio, Francesca e Luca provano a rispondere a queste domande, svelandoci i misteri della memoria e il percorso evolutivo che ha portato il gatto ad essere un fedelissimo amico dell'uomo.Nella prima parte della puntata, Francesca ci racconta come funziona la memoria e come si costruiscono i ricordi. Insieme a Luca, cercherà di capire se esistono in noi delle memorie innate oppure se tutti i ricordi e le conoscenze sono frutto della nostra esperienza personale.In esterna, la linea passa a Giorgio che intervista Daniele Alloni, docente di Fisica dei Reattori Nucleari presso il Dipartimento di Fisica di Pavia e vicedirettore del centro LENA (Laboratorio Energia Nucleare Applicata). Daniele ci parlerà del laboratorio LENA di Pavia e dei 60 anni del reattore nucleare TRIGA.Dopo il consueto appuntamento con la barza brutta, Luca passa a raccontarci gli ultimi risultati di un articolo uscito su Science il 25 novembre, che racconta l'origine del gatto moderno. A differenza di quello che credevamo fino a qualche tempo fa, sembra che il gatto selvatico sia arrivato nelle nostre case dopo un processo di addomesticazione cominciato dai Romani appena 2000 anni fa.Se ti piace Scientificast, diventa un supporter e accedi anche a tutti i contenuti speciali che la Redazione prepara per i suoi ascoltatori più affezionati.https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss

way through, but Giorgio made no move to budge.It: "Scusa, devo passare," disse Luca, cercando di sembrare calmo.En: "Excuse me, I need to pass," said Luca, trying to sound calm.It: Ma Giorgio fece finta di non sentire, indaffarato con i suoi clienti.En: But Giorgio pretended not to hear, busy with his customers.It: Determinado, Luca decise di passare lateralmente, rischiando di rovesciare alcune castagne.En: Determined, Luca decided to pass sideways, risking overturning some chestnuts.It: Riuscì finalmente a raggiungere Antonella, che ora respirava a fatica.En: He finally managed to reach Antonella, who was now struggling to breathe.It: "Ti porto alla farmacia," disse piano, cercando di tranquillizzarla.En: "I'll take you to the pharmacy," he said gently, trying to reassure her.It: Antonella annuì, ansimando.En: Antonella nodded, gasping.It: Con uno sforzo, la guidò al piccolo negozio in un vicolo adiacente.En: With effort, he guided her to the small shop in an adjacent alley.It: Lì, il farmacista prontamente le consegnò un antistaminico.En: There, the pharmacist promptly gave her an antihistamine.It: Dopo pochi minuti, Antonella sembrava sentirsi meglio.En: After a few minutes, Antonella seemed to feel better.It: Con gratitudine negli occhi, si volse verso Luca.En: With gratitude in her eyes, she turned to Luca.It: "Grazie, Luca," disse con una voce ancora un po' debole.En: "Thank you, Luca," she said in a still slightly weak voice.It: "Non so cosa avrei fatto senza di te."En: "I don't know what I would've done without you."It: Luca sorrise, il cuore che batteva forte.En: Luca smiled, his heart racing.It: "Sono felice di averti aiutato," rispose.En: "I'm happy I could help you," he replied.It: Antonella fece un cenno verso il cavalletto dov'era solita dipingere.En: Antonella gestured towards the easel where she usually painted.It: "Sto iniziando un progetto.En: "I'm starting a project.It: Un murale nella piazza.En: A mural in the square.It: Mi piacerebbe che tu partecipassi."En: I'd love for you to participate."It: Luca non riusciva a credere alla sua fortuna.En: Luca couldn't believe his luck.It: Accettò con entusiasmo.En: He accepted enthusiastically.It: Tornando verso la piazza, Luca sentiva di aver trovato finalmente un modo per avvicinarsi ad Antonella, non solo come artista, ma come amico.En: Returning to the square, Luca felt he had finally found a way to get closer to Antonella, not just as an artist, but as a friend.It: La fiducia che aveva guadagnato in sé stesso era palpabile.En: The confidence he had gained in himself was palpable.It: Sapeva che nulla era più importante che essere lì per gli altri con sincerità e gentilezza.En: He knew that nothing was more important than being there for others with sincerity and kindness.It: E in quella piazza, sotto il cielo invernale di Roma, una nuova amicizia iniziava a crescere sotto le luci natalizie.En: And in that square, under the winter sky of Rome, a new friendship
