We in North America tend to have a romanticized view of the mafia, but for the locals, the history is more brutal. See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. 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. 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.

Puntata a cura di Jacopo Bulgarini d'Elci e Livio Pacella. In onda su Rai 1 dal 7 gennaio 2000, giunta (per ora) alla bellezza di 265 episodi, Don Matteo racconta di un prete che investiga misteri. Ma è essa stessa un mistero, che proviamo allegramente a sciogliere. Tutti, dal più al meno, la conoscono: ma qualcuno l'ha vista? E cosa vuole dirci, la buffa serie in cui il bonario sacerdote risolve casi laddove le forze dell'ordine falliscono? È una critica radicale delle istituzioni italiane? Uno sberleffo postmoderno alla stessa possibilità filosofica che un caso venga risolto? E soprattutto, saprà Raul Bova sostituire degnamente sotto la tonaca Terence Hill? “1 classico in 2” è uno dei format del podcast di Mondoserie: conversazioni a due voci su serie che hanno segnato l'immaginario.

Quando il Nouveau Front Populaire vince le elezioni francesi e quindi Poveri ma in ferie diventa Poveri ma francesi. Nuova settimana e nuove aste per le vacanze vinte durante l'operazione primavera. Impegno civile con la petizione contro le soste selvagge ma anche festa a Gubbio con la cooperativa "ènostra" che compie dieci anni. Da bravi francesi si finisce la trasmissione tra vini e formaggi.
Author Robert Rotenberg never imagined that his newest police crime novel, written against the backdrop of European fascism, would come out at the same time that far-right political leaders are sweeping into office across the continent. Nor did he plan that What We Buried would be published in the aftermath of one of the most embarrassing moments in recent Canadian history, when lawmakers from all parties stood in the House of Commons last fall to give a standing ovation to an elderly guest who, it turned out, had been a former Nazi soldier. The incident shone a spotlight on Canada's troubled legacy of unapologetically allowing thousands of former enemy soldiers into the country, legally, after the Second World War. Rotenberg's newest novel, his seventh, is a departure from his trademark police procedural material based on real-life Toronto headlines. Instead, this story has a more international scope. It revolves around a true Nazi war crime that took place 80 years ago this month in Gubbio, a small hilltop town in Italy, where the Germans massacred 40 innocent civilians on June 22, 1944. Rotenberg joins The CJN Daily to talk about why he's hoping the book resonates with readers in Canada, where Jewish groups have long felt the country's never really come clean about its dark legacy of allowing Nazi soldiers to make new lives here.

As a young girl growing up in Kentucky, Constance Grayson was drawn to and influenced by traditional handcrafts. She learned traditional quilting techniques from her Appalachian aunts and was fascinated, even as a young child, with the interplay of color, form and texture. Although she no longer utilizes the traditional techniques she learned as a child, she is still fascinated with the process of creating something from bits and pieces of the almost nothings that she comes across. Most of her work utilizes techniques of collage to create a new whole from these bits and pieces. Her work results from the bringing together of handmade paper, commercial paper, and found objects with additions of paint and ink.Constance's interest has always been in color, form and texture and the ways in which those three elements interact with one another. She does not strive to have her finished work resemble any object or person in a realistic way. Instead, she wants to see whether she can successfully create energy and mood through the colors, forms and textures she uses in the piece.Her work has been displayed in U.S. galleries, museums and exhibits in Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, including academic institutions in New York (St. John's University), Arkansas (Crittenden County Community College) and Tennessee (Christian Brothers University). She has participated in international solo and invitational exhibits in Fabriano, Gubbio, Milan and Foligno, Italy as well as Spa, Belgium. One of her fabric collages was the cover image for, as well as the subject of an article in, the August/September 2014 edition of Quilting Arts magazine. Her art has also been featured in the May/June 2015 edition of Kentucky Home and Gardens magazine and the March 2010 issue of ArteCulture, an Italian monthly magazine. Currently, her art is in the permanent collections of Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tennessee; the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky; Christ Church Cathedral in Lexington, Kentucky; LeBonheur Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee and the Jessamine County Public Library, Nicholasville, Kentucky as well as in numerous private collections.PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION - New Editions Gallery until mid July 2024This is an interpretive art exhibition based on Modest Mussorgsky's piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition. Listening to each of the 10 movements and the recurring and varied Promenade theme, Constance created 15 energetic abstracts depicting her reaction to Mussorgsky's virtuoso masterpiece.
For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua. 15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem : et profectus est statim. 16 And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque. 17 And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo. 18 But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord's money.Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui. 19 But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis. 20 And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens : Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum. 21 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.Ait illi dominus ejus : Euge serve bone, et fidelis : quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui. 22 And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait : Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum. 23 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.Ait illi dominus ejus : Euge serve bone, et fidelis : quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui. St Ubald received episcopal consecration and became Bishop of Gubbio in Umbrio. He used to full advantage the talents which God had entrusted to him, and died piously A.D. 1160. His body has remained incorrupt up to our time.
I said we'd move on to the second half of Oderisi da Gubbio's speech . . . but there's no way we can. There are still so many unanswered questions about the way Dante cryptically inserts himself into the text, the way the art of miniaturization reflects the new style in poetry that Dante practices, and the very fact that Dante meets someone whose life is spent with manuscripts.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work our way through more questions about the first half of Oderisi's speech in PURGATORIO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:57] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XI, lines 73 - 108. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation (yes, please!), go to my website, markscarbrough.com.[04:46] Oderisi and Franco are indeed mentioned by others but mostly centuries after Dante. And for what it's worth, is Dante even writing a history-based poem?[06:48] Oderisi calls Dante the pilgrim "brother"--as in monastic brotherhood or as in the talk of artistic guilds?[08:32] Dante puts the prophetic denunciation in the mouth of a character, rather than in the poet's interpolation.[12:38] Dante meets a miniaturist, an illuminator . . . and the new style of poetry was mostly practiced in small poems like sonnets and canzone.[17:34] In my interpretation, Dante the poet remains unnamed in the tercet about the Guidos. Should we see a psychological or artistic development here?[22:13] Dante meets an illuminator, the sort who our poet might hope would someday work on COMEDY.
If you'd like to help underwrite this podcast, WALKING WITH DANTE, you can use this PayPal link right here.On Purgatory's terrace of pride, we turn from noble Omberto to an artist, a manuscript illuminator, Oderisi da Gubbio, who delivers some of the most memorable lines in all of PURGATORIO.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through the first half of Oderisi's speech, all about the vagaries of artistic fame, the passing of Cimabue in favor of Giotto, and the coming of a poet who can kick two well-known Guido's out of the Italian nest.Here are the segments of this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:49] My English translation of this passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XI, lines 73 - 108. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation about this passage, please go to my website: markscarbrough.com.[05:18] Dante the pilgrim and the illuminator Oderisi appear to know each other--which may well be a first comment on the vagaries of artistic fame.[06:48] Who were Oderisi da Gubbio and the Bolognese Franco?[11:55] Laughter may be near the root of Dante's art.[14:25] And desire may lie near the root of Dante's understanding of human behavior.[18:29] Oderisi mixes his metaphors--he is no poet![20:21] Giotto surpasses Cimabue in the development of craft and its tie to fame.[23:35] And someone (Dante?) may well pass the two Guidos in literature . . . although he may be more humbled than first appears to be the case.[27:28] The prideful in PURGATORIO's first terrace reference the heretics in INFERNO.[29:44] The end of the passage makes Brunetto Latini's grand, heroic speech into a lie.[34:52] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XI, lines 73 - 108.
Diciannovesima puntata della quinta stagione della rubrica, nel canale spreaker J-TACTICS, dedicata alle women ed alle giovanili della Juventus, J-WORLD.Si chiude con una sconfitta per le bianconere la semifinale d'andata di Coppa Italia in trasferta a Firenze: al Viola Park a vincere è la squadra di casa per 1-0 con un acuto nella ripresa di Catena, in un match non semplice per la squadra allenata da mister Montemurro, che ora avrà occasione di provare a rifarsi nella gara di ritorno in programma sabato 9 marzo.Succede tutto nel secondo tempo tra Juventus Next Gen e Gubbio.I bianconeri, sotto 0-1 a sorpresa, hanno il carattere e la forza di reagire e prima pareggiano i conti con Guerra e poi, ancora con il numero 17, trovano il sorpasso che sembrerebbe poter valere i tre punti, ma in pieno recupero gli eugubini riportano in equilibrio il match con il gol di Udoh del definitivo 2-2.C'è rammarico tra le fila bianconere per aver visto sfumare tre punti proprio sul finale, ma con questo pareggio la squadra di Mister Brambilla torna a correre dopo la battuta d'arresto contro il Perugia, e trovano il decimo risultato utile nelle ultime undici giornate disputate.La Juventus Primavera incappa nella seconda sconfitta consecutiva: dopo il 2-0 subito dall'Hellas Verona, arriva un altro passo falso a Vinovo con il Sassuolo, che passa con una doppietta di Vedovati: non basta il gran gol di Crapisto all'81'.L'Under17 di Claudio Rivalta vince anche contro i pari età della Sampdoria.A Vinovo la sfida tra bianconeri e blucerchiati termina con la vittoria della Juventus per 2-0 grazie ai gol, entrambi segnati nel corso del primo tempo, di Giardino, a segno anche in questa giornata dopo la doppietta contro la formazione emiliana, e di Sosna.Con questa vittoria i nostri ragazzi rimangono saldamente in testa al Gruppo A, a quota 44 punti dopo 19 gare disputate.Vince ancora anche l'Under16 di Claudio Grauso che, dopo il poker ottenuto contro i pari età del Modena nell'ultima gara disputata, ha superato 0-2 in trasferta la Cremonese ed è salita a quota 39 punti, dopo 18 giornate disputate, occupando in solitaria la prima posizione in classifica.Tanti sorrisi anche per l'Under15 di Marcello Benesperi che cala il poker sul campo dei pari età della Cremonese vincendo 0-4.Di Corigliano, autore di una doppietta, di Elimoghale e di Bruno, quest'ultimo subentrato dalla panchina, le reti dei bianconeri che salgono così a quota 38 punti in classifica dopo 18 giornate di campionato, a sole tre lunghezze dal Bologna, secondo in classifica, e a quattro punti dal primo posto occupato dal Genoa.Domenica amara per l'Under19 femminile allenata da Matteo Scarpa che cade 1-2 tra le mura amiche contro le pari età della Sampdoria.Di Berveglieri l'unica rete delle bianconere.La Juventus rimane al terzo posto in classifica, a quota 34 punti, e viene raggiunta dal Sassuolo e dal Milan.In seconda posizione c'è l'Inter, con una lunghezza in più rispetto alle nostre ragazze e con due punti in meno rispetto alla capolista Roma.Non mancherà poi uno sguardo ai prossimi impegni delle women e delle giovanili:Juve-Fiorentina women,(Coppa Italia) Sabato 09 marzo, ore 15.Olbia-Next Gen,Mercoledì 06 marzo, ore 18:30.Next Gen-Pontedera,Domenica 10 marzo, ore 18:30.Inter-Juve Under19,Sabato 09 marzo, ore 13.Genoa-Juve Under17,Domenica 10 marzo, ore 16.Juve-Pisa Under16,Domenica 10 marzo, ore 15.Juve-Pisa Under15,Domenica 10 marzo, ore 13.Anche quest'anno sarà nostra guida nel mondo Juve, il sempre competente e preciso amico Roberto Loforte, Fuori rosa TV.
Finding meaning and purpose is an integral part of the human experience, which is why, in psychotherapy, in religion, and in many other areas of our lives, we look for guidance. This universal need for contemplation can be thought of as spirituality. Yet, in the field of psychoanalysis, spiritual thinking is often overlooked, as it departs from traditional psychoanalytic theories. Today's guest argues otherwise.Amelio D'Onofrio has over 35 years of clinical psychoanalytic experience and his professional journey was shaped by faith and a desire for deeper understanding. From his immigration to the United States to pursuing his studies in Psychology, he discovered that a spiritual perspective could answer his more reflective questions about the self.On this episode of The Art of Listening, Amelio delves into the integral connection between spirituality and psychoanalysis. He reflects on his own experiences with pain and suffering and describes how faith set the groundwork that allowed him to ‘emerge from the darkness'. Amelio also shares his new practices and means of spiritual discovery, by introducing his Gubbio Seminars. As the host of this retreat in Gubbio, Italy, Amelio provides psychotherapists and analysts with the opportunity to discuss pressing topics in the field. Drawing on the theme of this year's seminar, he highlights the epic story of Dante's Divine Comedy, guiding us through the poem and its connection to the self-analytic spiritual process of trauma, grief, and forgiveness.Join us as we learn from Amelio how spirituality can enhance our understanding of the human experience, offering tools for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery.Chapters1 - Amelio's cultural upbringing and his first encounters with suffering (7:50)2 - Growing up with religion and Amelio's relationship with faith (13:32)3 - Psychoanalysis's relationship with spirituality (16:01)4 - Ego-rational listening and generative listening (20:12)5 - Amelio's seminars and this year's theme: Dante's Divine Comedy (22:52)6 - The spiritual cycle of trauma, guilt, and forgiveness (28:15)LinksAmelio D'OnofrioGubbio SeminarsEileen DunnMore from ‘The Art of Listening'
In dieser Folge stelle ich ergänzend zum vorigen Podcast Erlebnis und Genußtipps für Umbrien Monika Kellermann vor, die bekannte Wein- und Genuss Autorin, die sich in dieser Gegend allerbestens auskennt! Sie fängt ihren Artikel wie folgt an: “Seit ich vor vielen Jahren einige Wochen in Gubbio verbrachte, um Italienisch zu lernen, bin ich verliebt in das grüne Herz Italiens, wie Umbrien liebevoll genannt wird. Da ich nachmittags immer frei hatte, nutzte ich diese Zeit, um die wunderschöne, unverfälschte Natur, die zauberhaften Dörfer und Städte, die schmackhaften Produkte, die heimischen Weine und die bodenständigen Menschen kennenzulernen. Aus diesem Erfahrungsschatz habe ich einige meiner Lieblingsplätze für Sie zusammengestellt, die ich Ihnen gerne verrate.” Mehr Infos: https://charmingplaces.de/tipps-umbrien/
In apertura il punto di vista di Paolo Mieli sulle principali notizie della giornata.Si è concluso venerdì il ‘conclave’ Pd di Gubbio, dove la leader dem Elly Schlein è intervenuta su diversi temi e non ha mancato di attaccare l’esecutivo: “non esiste una destra sociale". Il Partito sembra essere diviso su diverse questioni, dalla missione internazionale nel Mar Rosso, al conflitto in Ucraina, e ora fanno discutere anche le ultime dichiarazioni della segretaria sull'invio di armi in Israele. In collegamento con noi Maria Cecilia Guerra, deputata del Partito Democratico. Nella notte tra mercoledì e giovedì il Pakistan ha attaccato il territorio iraniano, nella città di Saravan, provincia sudorientale iraniana al confine con il Pakistan. Gli ultimi aggiornamenti insieme a Pejman Abdolmohammadi, docente di Storia e Politica del Medio Oriente all'università di Trento.
Dalla nascita del Pds di Achille Occhetto al Partito Democratico di Elly Schlein, quando il centrosinistra smarrisce il cammino va in conclave e sceglie i conventi. Nel 1995, l'allora segretario del Pds Massimo D'Alema convoca nell'Abbazia di Pontignano, colline senesi, il primo momento di riflessione con il gruppo dirigente: un conclave, ma in un resort di impronta medioevale. Romano Prodi, nel 1997, convoca in un convento a Gargonza, in Val di Chiana, un vertice del centrosinistra e del suo governo, parlamentari e studiosi come Umberto Eco con il compito di elaborare le "Dieci idee per l'Ulivo". Nel 2000, Prodi replica l'appuntamento ancora a Gargonza per gli Stati Generali dell'Ulivo. La relazione introduttiva viene messa a punto da un gruppo di venti promotori coordinati dal semiologo Omar Calabrese. Sempre Prodi nel 2006 riconvoca a San Martino in Campo, in provincia di Perugia, un summit di governo nel corso del quale viene stabilita la strategia comunicativa di Palazzo Chigi. Nel 2007, ci si sposta nella cornice della reggia di Caserta, Nel 2010 Dario Franceschini, allora capogruppo Pd alla Camera dei deputati, convoca nell'Abbazia toscana di Spineto, un seminario dei parlamentari dove l'ospite d'onore è Romano Prodi. Tre anni dopo vi torna anche Enrico Letta che a Spineto della Luca porta tutti i ministri e i sottosegretari in ritiro "per conoscersi e fare spogliatoio" con la promessa e la garanzia che comunque "ognuno paga per sé". Poi tocca a Nicola Zingaretti continuare la tradizione nell'abbazia di Contigliano. Si arriva al conclave in corso a Gubbio, in un vecchio monastero nel cuore dell'Umbria. L'idea di Chiara Braga è quella di rinchiudersi due giorni in un convento per ritrovare l'armonia del gruppo parlamentare. Ma il conclave, al centrosinistra, non ha mai portato bene, e ci vuole ben altro, forse una più approfondita ristrutturazione del gruppo dirigente, per risollevare le sorti di un partito che i sondaggi stimano tra il 19 e il 20% e che non frena in alcun modo la stabile tenuta di Fratelli d'Italia e di Giorgia Meloni. "Il Corsivo" a cura di Daniele Biacchessi non è un editoriale, ma un approfondimento sui fatti di maggiore interesse che i quotidiani spesso non raccontano. Un servizio in punta di penna che analizza con un occhio esperto quell'angolo nascosto delle notizie di politica, economia e cronaca. ___________________________________________________ Ascolta altre produzioni di Giornale Radio sul sito: https://www.giornaleradio.fm oppure scarica la nostra App gratuita: iOS - App Store - https://apple.co/2uW01yA Android - Google Play - http://bit.ly/2vCjiW3 Resta connesso e segui i canali social di Giornale Radio: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giornaleradio.fm/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giornale_radio_fm/?hl=it

Virtus Maria Zallot"Nei cieli del Medioevo"Festa del Libro Medievale e Antico di Saluzzowww.salonelibro.itSabato 21 ottobre 2023, ore 19:00Il Quartiere, Saluzzo"Nei cieli del Medioevo"Lezione di Virtus Maria ZallotI cieli dell'immaginario medievale sono attraversati da insospettabile traffico di persone che salgono, scendono e viaggiano, ricorrendo a soluzioni straordinarie o a improbabili espedienti. Attraverso racconti e immagini, se ne analizzeranno tipologie ed esempi.Domenica 22 ottobre 2023, ore 16:30Il Quartiere, Saluzzo"Il presepe di San Francesco. Storia del Natale di Greccio"Virtus Maria Zallot presenta il libro postumo di Chiara FrugoniA 800 anni dal primo presepe qual è la storia della sua invenzione? Avvincente e suggestivo, il racconto della più grande studiosa del santo di Assisi«Voglio evocare il ricordo di quel Bambino nato a Betlemme, e in qualche modo vedere con gli occhi del cuore i disagi in cui si è trovato per la mancanza delle cose necessarie a un neonato, e come fu adagiato in una greppia quando fu messo sul fieno tra il bue e l'asino». Con queste parole – secondo il suo primo biografo – Francesco chiede a un fedele amico di Greccio di predisporre quanto serve per realizzare il presepe. Ma dove sono i personaggi principali, la Madonna e il bambino? Perché mai Francesco sceglie di rappresentare il Natale solo attraverso la greppia colma di fieno, fra due animali non nominati dai vangeli canonici? Saper leggere e mettere a confronto le fonti con rigore e sottigliezza, saper decifrare le immagini con acume finissimo: armata degli strumenti in cui eccelleva, Chiara Frugoni si avvicina – e noi con lei – alla figura del santo di Assisi, illuminando la vera posta in gioco del Natale di Greccio, quel potente messaggio di pace che dal 1223 ancora oggi vibra di una mai sopita spiritualità rivoluzionaria.Chiara Frugoni (1940-2022) ha insegnato Storia medievale nelle Università di Pisa, Roma e Parigi. Tra i suoi numerosi libri segnaliamo, per il Mulino, «Vivere nel Medioevo. Donne, uomini e soprattutto bambini» (2017), «Uomini e animali nel Medioevo. Storie fantastiche e feroci» (2018), «Paradiso vista Inferno. Buon governo e tirannide nel Medioevo di Ambrogio Lorenzetti» (2019), «Paure medievali. Epidemie, prodigi, fine del tempo» (2020), «Donne medievali. Sole, indomite, avventurose» (2021) e «A letto nel Medioevo. Come e con chi» (2022).Virtus Zallot è docente di Storia dell'Arte medievale all'Accademia di Belle Arti SantaGiulia di Brescia. Studia l'arte quale comunicazione visiva, in relazione a funzione e contesto; indaga la storia ‘minore' e l'immaginario medievali attraverso fonti iconografiche e letterarie.Autrice di saggi, per Il Mulino di Bologna ha pubblicato Sulle teste nel Medioevo. Storie e immagini di capelli (2021) e Con i piedi nel Medioevo.

Simona Baldelli"Il pozzo delle bambole"Sellerio Editorehttps://sellerio.itAttraverso lo sguardo della giovane e combattiva Nina, Simona Baldelli racconta l'Italia che dalla rovina della guerra corre verso gli anni Sessanta inseguendo il sogno di un riscatto.Nina viene abbandonata in un orfanotrofio nell'immediato dopoguerra. Le suore fanno la cresta sul vitto e le elemosine, il confine fra disciplina e oppressione è molto sottile e le punizioni corporali e psicologiche sono parte integrante del sistema di educazione. Quando Nina compie sette anni, arriva Lucia, che ha la sua età e non possiede la scorza necessaria per salvarsi dall'insensata cattiveria delle monache. Nina si sente in dovere di difenderla. Insieme all'amicizia, scopre la differenza fra ciò che è giusto e ciò che è ingiusto, mentre cresce in lei il senso di esclusione. Oltre le mura dell'istituto c'è un mondo al quale loro non hanno accesso e dove accadono fatti clamorosi – la nascita della televisione, il discorso rivoluzionario di un reverendo nero, l'assassinio di J.F. Kennedy, dighe che straripano e trascinano a valle migliaia di corpi, la morte del Papa buono. Quando a diciott'anni Nina esce dall'orfanotrofio trova davanti a sé un continente inesplorato. La sua vita sembra iniziare da capo: incontra nuove amiche, con loro partecipa a manifestazioni e scioperi e alla storica occupazione del grande tabacchificio di Lanciano, nel maggio del 1968, durata per ben quaranta giorni. Le vicende private e sentimentali delle ragazze si mescolano a quelle pubbliche, tutto attorno l'Italia cambia, pare lasciarsi indietro l'oscurità del passato, scopre i consumi e le réclame, la moda e le prime utilitarie, mentre le radio a transistor raccontano una trasformazione dei costumi a tempo di canzoni. La colonna sonora di ciò che poteva essere e non è stato.Il pozzo delle bambole racchiude in sé molti romanzi: una storia di crescita e di formazione, sulla scoperta del mondo palmo a palmo; un'avventura di collegio, di istituto, di camerate e cucine, spazi in cui crescere e trasformarsi; un affresco storico sul dopoguerra che è anche racconto di fabbrica e lotte; e soprattutto un romanzo di donne che diventano consapevoli, commettono errori, avanzano e retrocedono in una lotta lunga e difficile che Simona Baldelli descrive con ritmo, verosimiglianza, attenzione e sensibilità.Simona Baldelli è nata a Pesaro e vive a Roma. Il suo primo romanzo, Evelina e le fate (2013), è stato finalista al Premio Italo Calvino e vincitore del Premio Letterario John Fante 2013. Il tempo bambino (2014) è stato finalista al Premio Letterario Città di Gubbio. Nel 2016 ha pubblicato La vita a rovescio (Premio Caffè Corretto-Città di Cave 2017), ispirato alla storia vera di Caterina Vizzani (1735) – una donna che per otto anni vestì abiti da uomo – e nel 2018 L'ultimo spartito di Rossini. Con Sellerio ha pubblicato Vicolo dell'Immaginario (2019), Fiaba di Natale. Il sorprendente viaggiodell'Uomo dell'aria (2020), Alfonsina e la strada (2021) e Il pozzo delle bambole (2023).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Se ubica en el centro de la bota, cruzada por los Apeninos y regada por el Tíber. La vegetación crece lustrosa sobre las lomas, también es zona de viñedos y olivar... no extraña que la apoden "il cuore verde d'Italia". Abrazada por la Toscana, Lacio y Las Marcas descubrimos Umbría, una estratégica aunque poco conocida región cuya capital es Perugia. El profesor de italiano Francesco Marrone, que estudio en una de sus universidades, nos acompaña por las estrechas y serpenteantes calles de esta población medieval con vestigios etruscos. Paseamos por el Corso Vannucci y Piazza IV Novembre antes de adentrarnos por las misteriosas entrañas de la Rocca Paolina; sentimos los ecos de su festival veraniego de jazz y el aroma del gran encuentro chocolatero que toma la ciudad en otoño. Después salimos a buscar destinos cercanos como el lago Trasimeno y los pueblos de su área de influencia, como Castiglione del Lago o Città della Pieve. También ciudades tan conocidas como Asís –patria chica de San Francisco y origen de su orden religiosa–, Gubbio, Spoleto y Orvieto. Hacia el este, en el parque nacional de los montes Sibilinos, encontramos valles y llanuras floridas, así como hermosos pueblos en reconstrucción tras el terremoto de 2016. Ese terrible seísmo afectó entre otros a Norcia, lugar de origen de San Benito, fundador de la orden benedictina. A lo largo del recorrido escuchamos las voces de la guía oficial de turismo Daniela Paci, el financiero Stefano Bonaca, la profesora Natalia Mancuso y los estudiantes de Arquitectura Samuele Raspadori y Pietro Nataletti.

Join Dr. Patty Jimenez as she shares the joys of being raised with Franciscan values, translates theological terms and teachings into everyday language, and the creates spaces of belonging for young Latina woman raised in the United States. For a video version of this episode, see: https://youtu.be/etFD7Z-4Vsw From Patty Jimenez' interview: “When I returned to school I am reading Bonaventure, Scotus, and Francis and Clare's writings, I'm going, some of this stuff is pretty lofty. But when I broke it down to the essentials of hospitality, of care for creation, this is what my family lived every day, especially the women in my family; it was really powerful to see that written theologically, to see that expressed and be like, oh yeah, this is us.” Regarding moving between cultures: “I think first is to not make assumptions. It's really important to ask a lot of questions. Oftentimes people just kind of jump in based on what is on the surface level, but they don't really know what's behind it. … I've seen that happen over and over again in so many situations, making assumptions about other people without taking consideration about what we are doing or not doing that is causing what's happening.” “When you deal with a lot of cross-cultural issues, oftentimes just feeling heard causes a shift. That's sometimes all people need, is to be heard.” “We all belong. If we've ever felt that we didn't, it's usually because we haven't been adequately provided for or cared for. That has resonated for me as a Latina that's been raised here in the United States. And so I take a huge responsibility now of how do I create belonging for US born and raised Latinas. At times we have to, if we feel like, ‘hey, I don't belong', maybe it's the Spirit that's moving us to create spaces of belonging for others.” Vernacular theologian: “How do you translate really lofty theological terms or teachings into everyday terms so that anyone can understand it? And so for me it's translated in what we Latina theologians or pastor ministers speak of la vida cotidiana, our everyday life. And so how do we integrate it and speak in a language that is accessible to most people nowadays?” For a full transcript, please include episode number and email: fslfpodcast@fslf.org.

A sample description: “The three core elements of restorative justice are the interconnected concepts of Encounter, Repair, and Transform. Each element is discrete and essential. Together they represent a journey toward wellbeing and wholeness that victims, offenders, and community members can experience. Encounter leads to repair, and repair leads to transformation.” See: https://restorativejustice.org/what-is-restorative-justice/ Recetas: This initiative, founded by Patty, is dedicated to empowering Latinas to live joyous, well-balanced lives while deepening connections with themselves, their community, and their culture.

Seguiamo sui principali giornali la notizia dell'udienza milanese tenuta lo scorso venerdì.Tra le principali notizie il presidio di ieri a Roma contro il governo per il riconoscimento delle coppie omosessuali e i certificati di nascita, a cui ha partecipato anche il sindaco Gualtieri. Tornano gli attacchi hacker, tanti in pochi giorni, nella capitale a bloccare i sistemi di trasporto Atac ma anche attacchi ai distributori di tabacchi con messaggi per Cospito. La presidente della comunità ebraica, Ruth Dureghello, torna sui cori antisemiti allo stadio e ai relativi interventi. Un presidio al parco Sangalli per protestare sulle misure anti-rave, misure molto più ampie di ciò che sembrano. Strade sicure e la movida delle multe. E infine il racconto della targa in via Oderisi da Gubbio per ricordare Mario Brega. Sveja e un progetto di comunicazione indipendente sostenuto da Periferiacapitale, il programmma per le periferie promosso dalla fondazione Charlemagne, e da Guido Larcher.

In onda su Rai 1 dal 7 gennaio 2000, giunta (per ora) alla bellezza di 265 episodi, Don Matteo racconta di un prete che investiga misteri. Ma è essa stessa un mistero, che proviamo allegramente a sciogliere. Tutti, dal più al meno, la conoscono: ma qualcuno l'ha vista? E cosa vuole dirci, la buffa serie in cui il bonario sacerdote risolve casi laddove le forze dell'ordine falliscono? È una critica radicale delle istituzioni italiane? Uno sberleffo postmoderno alla stessa possibilità filosofica che un caso venga risolto? E soprattutto, saprà Raul Bova sostituire degnamente sotto la tonaca Terence Hill? “1 classico in 2” è uno dei format del podcast di Mondoserie: conversazioni a due voci su serie che hanno segnato l'immaginario.

Zwiedziliśmy malowniczą Umbrię, która nie jest tak modna jak sąsiednia Toskania, ale z pewnością warta poznania. Na jej terenach rezydowały liczne ludy i państwa przez nich tworzone. W związku z tym miasta regionu są pełne zabytków różnych kultur i stylów. Odwiedziliśmy między innymi Perugię, Orvieto, Spoleto, Spello, Todi, Derutę, Asyż i Gubbio.Wybraliśmy się też do Urbino w sąsiednim regionie Marche, który „New York Times” okrzyknął mianem „Nowej Toskanii”.

Join practitioner and scholar Jean-François Godet-Calogeras as he tells his story of growth and social engagement from village to village in Belgium and the United States, from happiness to greater happiness as he lives the passion and joy of Franciscan life. For a video version of this episode, see: https://youtu.be/KRc0LZh5Zws From Jean-François's interview: “Reading the writings of Francis that is full of quotes from the gospel, I started reading the gospel as I had never read it before. And found out that the gospel happened and was written in a historical context, and the same thing with the writings of Francis, expressed within an historical context, a way of life. And it very quickly became a passion. I could not imagine my life outside of that.” “I was looking for a passion, and the passion came with the writings of Francis that took me back and deeper into the gospel, the good news of Jesus. … At that point, I became very happy. Much happier than I had been before. I always loved the students, but I was dissatisfied by the institutional context. And since then, and other experiences, I'm not a very institutional guy. I'm more of an artist or of the present. I'm an historian and I love history, but it's to help me understand and live the present. Not to be with all stones.” “I'm not doing it on purpose, but I have been more than once labeled rebel. And it's just because I see things that for me make sense, but then I get in trouble. During that time, I discovered the writings of Clare of Assisi. … Clare was not a nun in enclosure. Clare was a sister with the brothers. And it was basically the same way of life. The man on the road in movement, the women in a place that they called monastery. Culturally, it was just as the world was moving. Women were not normally traveling and mingling with people, but that doesn't mean that they were locked in, in prison. So, I realized that story of First and Second Order, like first and second class, doesn't really fit.” “I realized again that the Third Order Regular, it was not a third class. And then it became very clear to me that there was one movement. One spiritual family with Francis and Clare, the brother and the sister at the root of that, inspired by the gospel of Jesus. And that movement developed in a very inclusive way to the beginning, but then of course with some complicities and good intention, it had to be organized. It had to be canonically organized.” “It became clear that I had to leave [the Friars], and I did. … It felt horrible. It felt terrible. It felt that after 18 years or so I was losing my life. I wasn't me anymore. But I faced that. Friends were very, again, very supportive, very instrumental and some, Margaret Carney and others, when traveling to Europe would stop and visit me in my little house in the village, in Belgium. During the time that I was five years in my village, one friend told me that her mother had heard that I was not a Franciscan anymore. And she responded to her mother that no, he's not in the Order of Friars Minor anymore, but he is a Franciscan. That has been a moment of grace to me to realize that, yes, my Franciscan soul was not attached to any institution, and I was grateful for what I had received in the institution. And it's a lot that is part of myself, but I realized I am Franciscan, and I can explain what it means to me. It's a way of life and I will continue.” For a full transcript, please include episode number and email: fslfpodcast@fslf.org.

We start in the northern half of Umbria and share with you three villages to visit that should definitely be on your radar. Citta di Castello, Gubbio and the capitol city of Perugia are all so well preserved that you feel like you could be living in the medieval ages. Yet at the same time, you can shop and eat and enjoy an aperitivo hour as if you were in Roma or Milano, just with less tourists, and what's not to love about that?
Join Brother Paolo Nicosia as he masterfully tells stories of healing and reconciliation woven together with offering practical principles and skills to strengthen our own abilities to be peacebuilders and reconcilers today. From Brother Paolo's interview: A summary of Principles and Skills of Mediation and Peace Building: --A pluralistic vision of the community, seeking unity among diversity. --An inclusive and compassionate attitude, because the tendency often, especially nowadays is being exclusive, I'm part of this group against another group; either you are in or you're out. --A pacific and non-violent approach. … This is the way to transform conflicts. --At the broader level, a commitment for social justice, being charitable to others, but also on a level that can be justice for all, not just for some that want a privileged life. --Also healing wounds and memories, because every time we have some misunderstanding or some real conflicts, there are wounds; the bad memories can be healed, talking, sharing and understanding each other, like in the restorative justice process, very famous in South Africa. --From a spiritual point of view, … God is God, we are not. This gives a sort of relaxation, like the way of saying in Italian that I try to translate, God exists, you are not God, so relax. --Finally, in the Atonement charism of reconciliation with God, other human beings and the self is expressed especially in two ways, two ministries. One is social and the other is ecumenical. So, ecumenically, through a dialogue seeking unity among diversity; the other, social ministry, especially for addictions. “Being always oriented to problem solving, and if it is not possible to solve problems, accepting reality, like Francis with the Sultan. … Not to be fearful of leaving with extreme differences. Again, Francis was doing this all the time with all kinds of different people, and we can do nowadays, basing our relationship on trust, healing the past, if the case happened that this trust was threatened or misunderstood in some ways. We use non-violent communication, listening a lot and talking in a very clear and understandable way to others. These are very simple, but very useful way of living the Franciscan spirituality in our daily lives.” “This approach can be applied for every kind of conflict, either grassroots or international conflicts. The wisdom of Franciscan agents of reconciliation, it could be Christian, or it could be everybody, is that everybody can be one; in every life is a facilitator for the transformation and integration of inner and outer conflicts to reconcile with the self, the others and God. … If we follow Jesus Christ or a peace approach, first of all, be inclusive. … The vision of accomplishment of peace can be a source of hope, and a realization of this being meant to be one. That is a bit of our name: At-one-ment, but it's also the gospel of John.” For a full transcript, please include episode number and email: fslfpodcast@fslf.org. References: Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, Assisi, Graymoor: https://www.atonementfriars.org/our-mission-history/ … We believe in…transforming conflict by being instruments of justice and peace, honoring and embracing the dignity of all people, living “minimum for self, maximum for God,” being stewards of God's Creation and, ministering to those in need of physical and spiritual healing. We partner with those who share our values. We exist as a Catholic religious community to invite the world to join us in the quest for healing and reconciliation. We do this by living, embracing and fostering the Franciscan spirit of At-One-Ment which includes: the unity of all; and the healing of the broken and those who have lost their way. We joy in God.

Artisans of Peace, Pope Francis: see https://www.americamagazine.org/issue/pope-become-artisans-peace-your-daily-lives
Early in the last century the northeastern Italian town of Gubbio was once terrorized by a wolf. It waited outside the city gates waiting to feast on anyone foolish enough to venture outside. Saint Francis, who had lived in the city at the time, then announced that he himself would visit the wolf in its lair to bring peace to the village. St. Francis was followed by some townsfolk from a distance when he approached the lair. With the wolf charging at Francis he made the sign of the Cross and commanded the wolf to cease its attacks in the name of God, at which point the wolf trotted up to him docilely and lay at his feet, putting its head in his hands. St. Francis had elicited a pledge from the wolf that he would no longer attack the villagers if they kept on feeding the hungry wolf. The deeper meaning of this story is that human nature is constantly at war between the spirit and the temptations of the flesh and the lures of toxic emotions. Preoccupation with the "outward" as opposed to the "inward" soul calling is a constant theme in the writings of the ancient mystics and their wisdom is more topical than ever in a world where political narrative is a reflection of an ego-centered culture where image takes precedence over truth and minds are captured in an alternative reality.
