Was mit Reisen

Es gibt Reisejournalisten, die Länder sammeln. Und es gibt Reisejournalisten, die Menschen sammeln. Uwe Krist gehörte für mich immer schon immer zur zweiten Sorte. Wer, wie wir, viele Jahre über touristische Ziele schreibt, sie filmt oder in Hör-Reportagen verwandelt, lernt irgendwann eine einfache Wahrheit: Die eigentlichen Sehenswürdigkeiten bestehen nicht aus Stein. Sie haben Gesichter. Sie erzählen Geschichten. Sie lachen, streiten, lieben und schweigen. Genau dort beginnt der Reisejournalismus, der mich von Anfang an fasziniert hat – weit entfernt von Hotelrankings, Restauranttipps und den berühmten „Zehn Dingen, die man unbedingt gesehen haben muss“. Wenn ich heute, selber schon fast im Abklingbecken für arbeitsmäßig etwas weniger aktive journalistisch geladene Teilchen, auf das schaue, was als „Reisebericht“ veröffentlicht wird, vermisse ich manchmal diese Art des Reisens. Nicht aus Nostalgie. Sondern weil sie auf einer Haltung beruhte: Erst verstehen, dann erzählen. Vielleicht freue ich mich deshalb so darüber, dass mein langjähriger Kollege und kollegialer Freund Uwe Krist heute Romane schreibt. Nicht, weil er dem Journalismus den Rücken gekehrt hätte. Sondern weil ich darin die logische Fortsetzung eines Berufslebens erkenne, das immer von Neugier, Respekt und genauer Beobachtung geprägt war. Reisen beginnt mit Zuhören Wer Uwe Krist kennt oder ihm zuhört, merkt schnell, dass ihn Italien nie nur als Reiseziel interessiert hat. Natürlich kennt er die Küsten Kalabriens, die kleinen Bergdörfer, die versteckten Trattorien und die großen Plätze Neapels. Aber das war nie sein eigentliches Thema. Uwe Krist in Sorrent – alle Fotos © Brigitte Jedlin Sein Thema waren immer die Menschen. Man spürt auf jeder Seite, dass hier keiner über Italien schreibt, weil er dort Urlaub gemacht hat. Sondern weil er dort jahrzehntelang zugehört hat. Wer so reist, sammelt keine Sehenswürdigkeiten. Er sammelt Begegnungen. Und irgendwann entsteht daraus etwas, das weit über eine Reportage hinausgeht. Ich glaube, genau deshalb überrascht mich sein Schritt zum Romanautor überhaupt nicht. Ein Beruf ohne verdiente Anerkennung Es gehört zu den Merkwürdigkeiten unseres Berufs, dass Reisejournalismus in vielen Redaktionen nie den Stellenwert besaß, den ihm die Leser längst verliehen hatten. Politik galt als wichtig. Wirtschaft als seriös. Kultur als intellektuell. Und Reisen? Das wurde und wird oft als angenehme, aber lässliche Randerscheinung betrachtet. Dabei war guter Reisejournalismus immer viel mehr als eine hübsche Beschreibung von Landschaften. Er war Geschichtsunterricht, Kulturvermittlung, Gesellschaftsreportage und manchmal sogar politische Analyse. Wer ein Land wirklich verstehen will, muss sich mit seiner Geschichte beschäftigen, mit seiner Mentalität, seinen Widersprüchen und seinen Menschen. Vielleicht greifen Leser gerade deshalb seit Jahrzehnten so gern zu Reisegeschichten. Nicht, weil sie nur vom nächsten Urlaub träumten. Sondern weil sie neugierig auf andere Lebenswelten waren. Zwischen Reportage und Roman Heute wird Reisen millionenfach in sozialen Netzwerken gezeigt. Vieles davon ist beeindruckend produziert, unterhaltsam und inspirierend. Daran ist nichts auszusetzen. Aber Begeisterung ersetzt keine Recherche. Ein Sonnenuntergang braucht keine Einordnung. Eine Gesellschaft schon. Der Unterschied zwischen Influencer und Reisejournalist liegt deshalb nicht in der Qualität der Bilder. Sondern in der Haltung. Der eine teilt persönliche Eindrücke. Der andere versucht, Zusammenhänge zu verstehen und verständlich zu machen. Beides hat seinen Platz. Aber es ist nicht dasselbe. Vielleicht ist genau deshalb der Roman manchmal die konsequenteste Fortsetzung eines guten Reisejournalisten. Denn dort darf endlich all das erzählt werden, wofür in einer Reportage oft kein Platz bleibt. Italien nicht erklären – sondern erleben Das beginnt schon mit den beiden Romanen selbst. „Elisabetta oder Das Sterben der Grille“ ist weit mehr als eine Geschichte vor italienischer Kulisse. Es ist ein Roman über Erinnerung, Abschied und die leisen Veränderungen eines Landes, das zwischen Tradition und Gegenwart seinen eigenen Rhythmus sucht. Italien bildet hier keine dekorative Bühne. Es ist selbst eine Figur – mit all seiner Schönheit, seinen Brüchen und seiner Melancholie. Ganz anders kommt „Margherita und die Liebe zum Damenbart“ daher. Schon der ungewöhnliche Titel macht neugierig. Mit feinem Humor und liebevoll gezeichneten Figuren erzählt Uwe Krist von den Eigenheiten Sorrents, von skurrilen Begegnungen und von Menschen, die einem lange im Gedächtnis bleiben. Hinter den kleinen Geschichten verbirgt sich ein tiefes Verständnis für die Mentalität des Südens – für seine Herzlichkeit ebenso wie für seine Widersprüche. Beide Romane verbindet etwas, das heute selten geworden ist: Sie wollen Italien nicht erklären. Sie lassen den Leser Italien erleben. Wenn Literatur zum besseren Reiseführer wird Nachdem ich die beiden Bücher durchgeschmökert hatte, ließ mich eine Frage nicht mehr los: Kann Reiseliteratur vielleicht der bessere Reiseführer sein? Ich erinnere mich, wie gerne ich früher die Merian Hefte verschlungen habe. Diese tollen Geschichten rund um ein Ziel. Alle geschrieben von sehr kundigen und professionellen Kollegen und Kolleginnen. Nach so einem Heft war ich dann viel bereiter für meine eigene Reiserecherche.  Deshalb würde ich auch oder gerade heute die Frage beantworten mit: Ja. Nicht, weil sie die besseren Adressen kennt oder den schnellsten Weg zur nächsten Sehenswürdigkeit weist. Sondern weil sie den Blick verändert. Nach einem guten Roman gehe ich anders durch eine italienische Gasse. Ich sehe nicht nur Fassaden. Ich frage mich, wer hinter den Fensterläden lebt. Ich höre Dialekte bewusster. Ich verstehe Gesten besser. Ein Reiseführer zeigt den Weg. Ein Roman zeigt den Menschen, der mir unterwegs begegnen könnte. Und genau darin liegt seine Stärke. Der schönste Luxus eines Reisejournalisten Manchmal stelle ich mir vor, wie Uwe Krist heute irgendwo auf einer Piazza in Kalabrien sitzt. Kein Aufnahmegerät mehr auf dem Tisch. Keine Redaktion, die auf den Abgabetermin wartet. Kein fester Umfang, keine Zeichenvorgaben. Nur Zeit. Vielleicht ist genau das der größte Luxus, den sich ein Reisejournalist nach einem langen Berufsleben wünschen kann: Geschichten endlich so erzählen zu dürfen, wie sie erzählt werden möchten. Nicht in 8.000 Zeichen. Sondern mit all den Farben, Stimmen und Zwischentönen, die ein Roman zulässt. Der Journalist muss sich an die Fakten halten. Der Romanautor darf den Wahrheiten folgen. Und manchmal liegen diese Wahrheiten näher beieinander, als man denkt. Warum ich optimistisch bleibe Vielleicht ist das die schönste Erkenntnis, die ich aus Uwe Krists literarischem Weg mitnehme: Guter Reisejournalismus verschwindet nicht. Er sucht sich neue Formen. Mal heißt sie Reportage. Mal Podcast. Und manchmal eben Roman. Wenn wir wissen möchten, wo der schönste Strand liegt oder welches Restaurant montags geöffnet hat, kaufen wir einen Reiseführer. Wenn wir verstehen möchten, warum ein Land seine Menschen prägt – und seine Menschen wiederum das Land –, dann greifen wir vielleicht besser zur Literatur. Denn Reiseführer erklären Orte. Gute Geschichten erklären Menschen. Und erst aus beidem entsteht eine Reise. Ich habe lange überlegt, wie ich mich den Büchern von Uwe annähern soll hier auf meinem WASMITREISEN Blog und in meinem Reiseradio. Natürlich könnte ich den klassischen Weg gehen, mir Fragen ausdenken und Uwe einladen zu einem Interview vor dem Mikro. Daran ist überhaupt nichts verkehrt. Wahrscheinlich wäre es ein sehr munteres Gespräch geworden. Und sehr authentisch. Weil, was kann näher an die Gedanken eines Autoren kommen, als seine eigenen Worte? Aber dann dachte ich mir: warum nicht mal was anderes, jetzt, wo im neuen Podcast Hype nun wirklich kein Mangel mehr besteht an Interviews oder Plauder-Talks zwischen zwei Menschen. Kann da nicht der gute alte gebaute Hörfunk-Beitrag, so, wie ich es Anfang der 80er Jahre gelernt habe beim WDR, eine Renaissance erleben? Erst eine Tiefenanalyse von Text und Quellen, dann ein grobes Script und dann ein Zweier-Studiogespräch mit verteilten Rollen. Eine gesprochene Quintessenz ohne Schnörkel, aber mit Erkenntnis und Unterhaltungswert…. Das Ergebnis möchte ich Ihnen gerne ans Herz legen. Den Podcast können Sie hören, wenn Sie auf das Kopfhörer-Symbol im Titelbild klicken.

Margherita Lanteri Cravet"Dopo torno"Edizioni Pendragonwww.pendragon.itQuando la vita ti spezza in modo inaccettabile, può l'amore ricomporre i tuoi frammenti?Una donna, ferita ma innamorata dell'esistenza, sceglie di non arrendersi al silenzio del dolore affidandosi alla scrittura per ritrovare le figlie che ha perduto. Scrivere diventa un atto di fede, una magia che restituisce voce e presenza a chi sembrava svanito. Dora e Ava, le due sorelle scomparse, tornano così a osservare chi non le aspetta più. La bambina saggia e la ragazza inquieta attraversano i confini invisibili tra vita e morte, tra sogno e realtà. Il cammino intrapreso, costellato di ricordi, affetti e rivelazioni, intreccia le loro voci a quella della madre, in un dialogo che supera il tempo e riavvicina le anime. Un romanzo che parla della forza segreta e innata che spinge a cercare la bellezza anche nell'oscurità. Un invito a vivere, con occhi e cuore spalancati, anche per chi non c'è più, ma resta sempre con noi. Margherita Lanteri Cravet vive a Bologna – da oltre trent'anni – con il marito, un gatto e il cane di Mia, la figlia medica giramondo. In questa città si è laureata in lettere classiche, dopo aver frequentato a Sanremo lo stesso liceo di Italo Calvino. Ha insegnato latino e greco, e lavorato nell'informatica; nel 2000 è entrata nello staff della Biblioteca Salaborsa. Da allora si occupa di comunicazione per il Comune di Bologna. Fra le sue tante passioni si dedica soprattutto alla scrittura grazie alla quale Maia e Micol, le sue figlie perdute, hanno potuto continuare a vivere nel suo primo romanzo Dopo torno (Pendragon, 2026).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/

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8575CIECA, STORPIA E ABBANDONATA DAI GENITORI, MA SCELTA DA DIO Il Castello della Metola, dove nacque Margherita nel 1287, era una fortezza posta sulla cresta di un'alta montagna, situata nella parte meridionale di Massa Trabaria. In quell'epoca tardo-medioevale Massa Trabaria, già possedimento dello Stato Pontificio, incuneata tra le potenti città di Firenze, Arezzo e Perugia, era stata proclamata Repubblica da Papa Innocenzo III e solidamente fortificata per la sua posizione strategica. Tutta la regione era aspramente montagnosa e coperta da fitte boscaglie; le strade erano scarse e primitive; i villaggi sorgevano isolati. Il castello della Metola dominava dall'alto tutta la zona godendo di una splendida vista sulla via maestra che univa le città di Mercatello e di Sant'Angelo in Vado; era stato costruito con un sistema tale di difesa da risultare pressoché inespugnabile.Per questo, quando il padre di Margherita, Parisio, lo aveva conquistato togliendolo agli abitanti di Gubbio, aveva suscitato un tale entusiasmo per la sua valorosa impresa che gli era stata offerta la fortezza e tutto il vasto possedimento che la circondava. Lassù, Parisio aveva portato la giovane sposa Emilia ed aveva atteso con gioia la nascita di un erede che perpetuasse il suo nome. Quale nobile condottiero, ricco ed orgoglioso, pieno di sogni gloriosi per l'avvenire di quel figlio, aveva ordinato grandi festeggiamenti per il lieto evento, ma la delusione dei due sposi non poté essere più cocente quando s'accorsero che era nata una bambina cieca e deforme, destinata ad essere gobba e storpia.L'orgoglio chiuse il loro cuore ai sentimenti di amore materno e paterno: decisero di nascondere a tutti la loro disgrazia affidando la bimba ad una donna di servizio e ordinandole di tenerla sempre nascosta. Nel modo più segreto possibile fu portata alla cattedrale di Mercatello per essere battezzata col nome di Margherita, soltanto perché il cappellano della fortezza lo aveva chiesto.UNA CELLA VICINO ALLA CHIESAMargherita, crescendo, manifestò una straordinaria intelligenza e imparò ben presto ad orientarsi girando per il castello, senza mai avvicinarsi alle stanze dei genitori che non volevano correre il rischio di incontrarla. Un giorno - Margherita aveva sei anni - vennero alla Metola alcuni visitatori e mentre la piccola si recava nella cappella a pregare, fu vista da una delle dame ospiti, che ovviamente fu incuriosita dalla presenza di quella bambina cieca e storpia.Per evitare in futuro di correre ancora il rischio che quella sua figlia deforme venisse scoperta, Parisio escogitò un piano: fece costruire una cella vicino alla chiesa di Santa Maria della Fortezza, che si trovava a quattrocento metri dal castello, in piena boscaglia, e vi rinchiuse la figlia costringendola a vivere come una reclusa, con l'unica possibilità di passare il tempo a pregare, in attesa che da una finestrella le venisse porto un po' di cibo.In quella gelida prigione, consapevole di essere rifiutata per il suo fisico anormale, Margherita avrebbe potuto crescere con l'odio in cuore per il trattamento subito, ma Dio vegliava su quell'anima a Lui cara e illuminò la sua intelligenza con la divina sapienza, facendole comprendere che era stata creata per amarLo e trovare così eterna e perfetta felicità. La bimba capì che per raggiungere un alto grado nell'amore di Dio, non è necessaria la vista, né un fisico perfetto, ma soltanto seguire l'esempio di Gesù Crocifisso e unire le nostre sofferenze alle sue. Nove anni rimase in quella cella, ricevendo frequenti visite dal cappellano che la istruiva nelle vie di Dio e rare visite dalla mamma.Per amore di Gesù si impose dei lunghi digiuni e riuscì a procurarsi anche un cilicio. Mantenne il suo temperamento allegro e luminoso, accettando il dolore fisico e morale come una grazia speciale del Signore.Fu tirata fuori da quell'orribile luogo a causa della guerra: Massa Trabaria era stata invasa dai nemici e se fossero arrivati vicini al castello, avrebbero scoperto la fanciulla prigioniera. Margherita finì in un luogo peggiore, cioè nella cantina del palazzo di suo padre a Mercatello, con un pagliericcio ed una vecchia panca per arredamento e le regole dei carcerati da osservare. Niente più conforti religiosi, come Santa Messa, Comunione, visite del cappellano, ma una tremenda solitudine e tanta angoscia per gli esiti della guerra. La fede e la fiducia in Dio l'aiutarono a superare la prova di quelle tribolazioni e a fortificarsi per il terribile cambiamento di vita che l'aspettava.CITTÀ DI CASTELLOCessato il pericolo della guerra, i genitori decisero di condurla a Città di Castello, sulla tomba di Fra Giacomo, un francescano morto da poco tempo in fama di santità, nella speranza che un miracolo potesse donare la luce agli occhi spenti della loro figlia e guarirla dalla sua deformità.Il viaggio attraverso gli Appennini per giungere nella valle del fiume Tevere, sulle cui sponde sorge Città di Castello, fu lungo e disagevole, né Margherita poté godere della vista del panorama; il peggio però l'attendeva proprio là dove il seme della speranza avrebbe dovuto fiorire in gioia per l'avvenire: delusi dal mancato miracolo, i nobili castellani della Metola presero la via del ritorno di nascosto, abbandonandola a se stessa per liberarsi per sempre di lei.Quando la ragazza (era intorno ai quindici anni) se ne rese conto, il buio intorno a lei fu più fitto e il gelo le morse il cuore: possibile che fosse stata abbandonata in quella città del tutto sconosciuta? Eppure questa era l'amara realtà!«Mio padre e mia madre mi hanno abbandonato, ma il Signore mi ha raccolto» dice il salmista: fu così anche per lei. Dopo un breve tempo trascorso come mendicante, senza un tetto sotto il quale ripararsi dalle intemperie, Margherita trovò una calda accoglienza presso le famiglie povere della città che la ospitarono a turno, ammirandone la gentilezza, la pazienza e l'inalterabile serenità. Con la preghiera continua ella ricompensava i suoi benefattori, ottenendo grazie di ordine materiale e morale alle loro famiglie.IL RIFIUTO DI OGNI COMPROMESSOIntorno ai vent'anni fu accolta in un monastero dove, con il cuore traboccante di gioia, iniziò il suo cammino di perfezione spirituale impegnandosi ad osservare la Regola propria di quell'Ordine di cui l'antico biografo non ci rivela il nome. Purtroppo in quel monastero si era spento il primitivo fervore e le monache vivevano nella rilassatezza e nello spirito mondano; dopo un po' di mesi, la condotta di quella novizia cieca che si atteneva in fatto di silenzio, di povertà, di clausura e di raccoglimento alle prescrizioni della Regola, divenne un fattore di disagio nel convento, un tacito ma eloquente rimprovero per la comunità.Poiché Margherita rifiutava ogni compromesso con la sua coscienza pur sapendo che rischiava di perdere ancora una volta la sicurezza di un tetto per l'avvenire, fu dimessa dal monastero e si ritrovò sola e abbandonata per la via. La grazia di Dio l'aiutò ancora una volta a superare il difficile momento col pensiero che anche Gesù era stato rifiutato dai suoi e che lei ora non poteva ritirare l'offerta che aveva fatto di se stessa a Dio fin da piccola.Un nuovo genere di sofferenza l'attendeva: la derisione e il disprezzo pubblico di chi spargeva chiacchiere malevole sul suo conto, insultandola con frasi sprezzanti e motivando la sua cacciata dal monastero col fatto che non era stata in grado di adattarsi alla vita delle monache per mancanza di virtù.Fu in questo doloroso periodo che la povera cieca incontrò nella chiesa della Carità, affidata ai Frati Domenicani, le Mantellate, laiche appartenenti all'Ordine della Penitenza di San Domenico, che vivevano in casa propria ma osservavano una Regola austera ed indossavano l'abito religioso domenicano.CONTEMPLARE DIO E TRASMETTERLO CON LA PREGHIERA E LA PENITENZAMargherita vi fu accolta, benché venissero ammesse soltanto donne vedove in età matura, perché ella dava prova di seria virtù e perché il suo fisico menomato la metteva al riparo da qualsiasi leggerezza di gioventù. Così la povera mendicante senza tetto divenne anche pubblicamente sposa di Cristo: quale sorte migliore poteva desiderare colei che agli occhi degli uomini pareva un brutto scherzo della natura? Come San Paolo, ella poteva proclamare: «Chi mi separerà dall'amore di Cristo? Forse la tribolazione, l'angoscia, la fame... la cecità, il fisico deforme? Ma in tutte queste cose sono più che vincitrice per virtù di Colui che mi ha amata».Entrando a far parte di una famiglia religiosa, Margherita trovò fratelli e sorelle ed un grande ideale per cui spendersi: contemplare Dio e trasmetterLo con la preghiera e la penitenza, poiché la cecità le impediva lo studio. Le preghiere, compresi tutti i 150 salmi, le aveva imparate a memoria. Di penitenze non era mai sazia, soprattutto dopo aver scoperto che San Domenico le praticava quale mezzo potente per ottenere la salvezza delle anime.Nonostante le sue disgrazie fisiche, praticava un intenso apostolato di misericordia presso i malati e i moribondi e sollevava i cuori afflitti con una conversazione opportuna che tutto riconduceva all'Amore di Dio. Aveva una predilezione particolare per San Giuseppe e di lui parlava sempre volentieri, finché l'interlocutore era disposto ad ascoltarla!Entrando nel Terz'Ordine Domenicano, cessarono per Margherita le difficoltà economiche perché fu accolta nella casa di una famiglia appartenente all'alta società, gli Offrenducci. Per un po' di anni visse co

Lidia Ravera"Bagna i fiori e aspettami"Bompiani Editorewww.bompiani.itGiò è una ragazza irrequieta, che risponde al centralino in una tivù privata e sogna una vita d'avventura. Ha tre sorelle: Margherita, che sogna l'amore e fa la segretaria in una scuola elementare. Elisabetta, cagionevole e spirituale. Amelia, frivola e innamorata della sua bellezza. Vi ricordano qualcosa, o qualcuno? Sono quattro piccole donne alle prese con gli anni ottanta del secolo scorso. Hanno avuto in sorte una madre avvenente e svagata oltre a un padre fantasma, svanito quando Giò aveva due anni. Se la sono cavata benissimo anche senza di lui, a dire il vero, ma quando, dentro una busta piena di denaro, arriva un suo imprevisto messaggio con la richiesta di un appuntamento a Barcellona, è Giò a partire, attratta dal desiderio di conoscere quel personaggio che nella sua vita non c'è mai stato ma ha monopolizzato il suo immaginario. Arrivata a Barcellona, e da lì in poi, Giò avrà tutta l'avventura che vuole: niente papà, ma in compenso un affascinante bugiardo in limousine di cui innamorarsi e un itinerario che la porterà a Marsiglia, New York, Londra e Lusaka, fra trafficanti d'arte e di pietre preziose, seguendo scie di debiti e svelando vecchi segreti. In questo romanzo, il quarto scritto da Lidia Ravera, uscito per la prima volta nel 1986, non esistono i telefonini né i social e la moneta italiana è ancora la lira. Ma il ritmo serrato e tagliente, l'ironia, il calore della prima persona, il divertimento sono tutti lì, nello stile inconfondibile di un'autrice molto amata e nelle vicende che conducono la protagonista a inseguire con tenacia la pista degli affetti.Lidia Ravera è nata a Torino. Giornalista e scrittrice, ha raggiunto la notorietà nel 1976 con il suo romanzo d'esordio Porci con le ali, longseller con tre milioni di copie vendute (oggi nei Tascabili Bompiani, anche in versione graphic novel). Ha scritto trenta opere di narrativa. Gli ultimi romanzi, Piangi pure, Gli scaduti, Il terzo tempo, L'amore che dura, Avanti, parla e Un giorno tutto questo sarà tuo (2024) sono nel catalogo Bompiani, come la novella autobiografica Tempo con bambina e il racconto La somma di due.

Drawing from spiritual philosophy and reflective insight, Margherita discusses the meaning of the lotus as a symbol of growth, resilience, and awakening—rising through darkness toward light. Combined with the imagery of crystal energy and clarity, she explores how these metaphors can inspire deeper self-awareness and emotional balance. This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own path of transformation. How do symbols influence the way we understand ourselves and the world? What role do intention, awareness, and inner healing play in personal growth? And how can spiritual practices encourage greater harmony and clarity in everyday life? Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation that blends beauty, symbolism, and self-discovery—where the crystal lotus becomes a reminder that growth and enlightenment often emerge from life's deepest challenges.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Viola Veloce"Il talento di Margherita"Feltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itMargherita Fiori ha sessant'anni e agli altri è sempre sembrata una donna senza qualità. Impiegata al tribunale, immersa nei suoi appunti costellati di piccoli schemi, per anni ha continuato a essere dipinta come la definivano a scuola: stramba, distratta, poco portata. Solo più tardi ha dato un nome a quelle etichette: dislessia. Un ostacolo, ma anche un modo diverso di leggere il mondo. Margherita non segue le righe, le attraversa, e facendolo vede crepe dove chiunque vedrebbe muri, sente le stonature nelle versioni troppo perfette. Poi c'è il desiderio di una nuova vita, che ritorna quando meno te lo aspetti. Tra una chat e un appuntamento al buio, Margherita riscopre il corpo, il gioco, la libertà di scegliere. Ogni incontro è un piccolo azzardo, ogni carezza una dichiarazione. Non è mai troppo tardi per sentirsi viva. Ma è in questo tempo nuovo che riaffiora il passato, nella figura del magistrato Pietro Pecorari. Grande amore della giovinezza, con lui Margherita ha condiviso il letto e molti casi, aiutandolo a risolverne la maggior parte grazie al suo insospettabile talento. Poi la storia finisce, ma, dopo venticinque anni, Pecorari le chiede una mano per venire a capo della misteriosa morte di un professore universitario. Sembrerebbe trattarsi di un suicidio, eppure troppe cose non tornano. A partire dalle equivoche frequentazioni del professore.Il talento di Margherita è un romanzo arguto e irriverente in cui la trama gialla diventa un manifesto gioioso sulla seconda età, sul diritto al piacere e sulla forza di uno sguardo fuori dalla norma. Viola Veloce mette in scena una protagonista antitradizionale, una donna che vede ciò che sfugge agli altri, e che proprio per questo riesce a scovare, tra le crepe delle storie e delle persone, la verità più scomoda e al tempo stesso più sincera.Viola Veloce è lo pseudonimo di un'impiegata dislessica con la passione per la scrittura. Ha conquistato il pubblico in rete con la serie “Omicidi”, quattro gialli ironici ambientati in ufficio, in condominio, a scuola e in parrocchia. Con la sua dark comedy ha trasformato la routine in un teatro degli equivoci a colpi di crimini e humor nero.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/

Episode 450. Onelia Fineschi Sings the Undoing of Women

Countermelody

Onelia Fineschi (1921 – 2004) was one of the finest Italian lyric sopranos of her era. Probably most famous today for having provided the singing voice of Gina Lollobrigida in a 1948 filmed version of Pagliacci, she had a wide-ranging repertoire and an up-and-down career trajectory that lasted, however, nearly 25 years. Initially I became interested in Fineschi because one of my listeners gifted me with a visually arresting Cetra LP of her 1947 recordings of various opera arias, which, upon listening, revealed an equally arresting and technically solid voice with a characteristically Italian timbre. But the more I explored what little I could about her, several issues that emerged seemed particularly relevant to Women's History Month. For instance, many 20th century female singers had truncated careers or complicated personal lives because of the demands that their voices made upon their lives. I uncovered some ambiguous comments regarding Fineschi's marriage to the tenor Francesco Albanese (1912 – 2005), that seemed to imply that this may have been the case with her. Furthermore, much of the standard repertoire that she sang bears out the contention of French philosopher, scholar and author Catherine Clément that opera enacts “the undoing of women.” Nearly every excerpt I play explores this theme, from the “slutty” Nedda in Pagliacci (who, we are led to believe, as a free spirit, gets what she deserves) to Tosca, Manon, Mimì, Margherita in Mefistofele, Desdemona, Leonora de Vargas, Maddalena di Coigny, and Cio-Cio-San, all of them expiring, sometimes gently, sometimes violently to the most glorious music. So apart from simply resuscitating a fine lyric soprano, this episode at least scratches the surface on the topic of women in opera from a feminist vantage point, centering around the problems of inherent misogyny and sexual abuse of women that is practically baked into the business itself. Featured voices alongside Fineschi's include Tito Gobbi, Mario del Monaco, Giuseppe di Stefano, and Mr. Fineschi himself, Francesco Albanese. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Anna Voltaggio"La santa degli altri"Neri Pozzawww.neripozza.itNella sua vita succede sempre tutto in primavera. Così Nica scompare in un giorno di maggio, recidendo il legame con Tommaso senza una spiegazione, solo un biglietto succinto nel posto che era stato del loro amore. Di quella donna laconica e fragile, volubile e altera, della sua indifferenza lieve per le cose del mondo, della passione tutta nuova che gli aveva rovesciato addosso, del suo essere carne viva e insieme puro spirito a Tommaso non restano che un pugno di ricordi e il rimpianto di non essersi mai pensato con lei nel futuro. La cerca dappertutto, percorrendo come un sonnambulo le strade di una Palermo bollente e torpida che pare non volergliela restituire, perché trovarla significa ritrovare la parte più viva di sé stesso che il desiderio di lei gli ha mostrato. La sua storia corre parallela a quella di Gelsomina e di sua figlia Margherita, arrivata come un dono grazie al voto fatto alla santa degli impossibili, santa Rita. Una donna e una bambina che vivono i loro giorni in esilio dalla famiglia, in una casetta dove il tempo non esiste e il mare si beve ogni cosa, fino a quando irrompe la vita vera. È da quel legame, velo che abbraccia e giogo che stritola, che si dipana una storia di fughe e ritorni, di verità taciute e conquistate libertà. In questo romanzo potente e ipnotico, Anna Voltaggio osa prescindere dal materialismo dei nostri giorni, facendo spazio alla dimensione sacra anche delle esistenze più laiche, con le colpe di cui tutti ci macchiamo e il perdono che solo noi possiamo darci.Quel pomeriggio, nel giro di pochi minuti Margherita rifiuta il sacrificio e tradisce. Sua madre, il mare, la Santa, il dolore da cui è nata insieme alla speranza che non muore mai, promessa che non salva nessuno ma che tiene in vita.Anna Voltaggio è nata a Palermo.

Margherita Pelaja"Le donne di piazza del fico"Edizioni Piemmewww.edizpiemme.itRoma, 1864. Luisa Stecca aiuta le donne dei rioni in una città ancora governata dal potere papale, tra vicoli polverosi, conventi, botteghe e un'umanità che sopravvive come può. Assiste gravidanze spesso clandestine e accoglie ragazze e madri di famiglia a casa sua, in piazza del Fico. Tra queste donne c'è Angela Carbone. Nata da una famiglia sfortunata, è una ragazza decisa a uscire dalla povertà che la soffoca. Con l'aiuto della sorella, Gertrude, e di una non convinta Luisa, ordisce un inganno perfetto: finge una gravidanza per legarsi al ricco cavaliere Armando Bachino, e quando nasce il figlio di Amalia, una giovane abbandonata a sé stessa, lo fa passare come suo. Ma la verità è una forza che scava e chiede di essere ascoltata. Attorno al piccolo Armando si creano tensioni, affetti, recriminazioni: la madre naturale lo rivuole, la madre adottiva lo difende, il cavaliere si scopre tradito ma incapace di rinunciare a quel bambino. E mentre Roma si avvicina alla caduta del potere temporale del Papa, anche le illusioni di Angela iniziano a sgretolarsi. Tra confessioni, rivelazioni e un vero processo, si dipana una storia di donne ferite ma ostinate, di maternità negate e inventate. Attraverso la combinazione brillante di avvenimenti realmente accaduti e documentati negli archivi ecclesiastici, Margherita Pelaja pone domande attuali sul significato di parole come famiglia, amore, appartenenza. Le donne di piazza del Fico racconta un passato lontano e riesce nel miracolo di costruire una voce urgente, elegante e attuale.Margherita PelajaHa svolto ricerche negli ambiti della storia delle donne e della storia della sessualità, pubblicando numerosi saggi e monografie.

Vodafone's chief executive, Margherita Della Valle, highlights the growing risks to Europe's submarine cables, and calls for international cooperation to ensure the security and resilience of digital infrastructure. Addressing the recent threats posed by Russia, she calls for cross-border collaboration, and the implications for national and European security. Discussing the impact of the merger with Three, Della Valle examines the UK's persistent “not spots”—areas with little or no mobile coverage—and the company's commitment to eliminating these gaps through an £11billion pound investment. Della Valle also notes that Vodafone is set to launch a rival to Elon Musk's Starlink in 2026, providing total broadband coverage to the UK via satellite to standard mobile phones. Launching this first in the UK, she says you will even be able to get the internet at sea and in the most remote parts of the UK.The demands of artificial intelligence on telecoms infrastructure are also addressed, with Della Valle acknowledging that while progress has been made, the UK's mobile networks are not yet fully prepared to support the scale and speed required for widespread AI adoption.The interview also addresses the reduction in the number of female chief executives in the FTSE 100, and the ongoing challenges faced by women in senior roles, with 00:00 Sean Farrington and Will Bain introduce BBI 02:04 Start of Interview with Margherita & early days at Vodafone 07:56 Impact of the UK merger with Three 09:29 Eliminating Not Spots in the UK 11:12 Satellite Technology & competition to Elon Musk's Starlink 19:00 Infrastructure for mobile use of AI is not there yet. 26 - Female FTSE CEOs 34 - the need to work closer with Europe on sea-cable/telecoms security co-operationPresenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones
