Il rapporto annuale dell'Istat conferma che tra il 2019 e il 2024 le retribuzioni contrattuali hanno perso il 10,5% del potere d'acquisto, a causa dell'impennata inflazionistica innescata dalla crisi energetica del 2021-2022. Il reddito medio da lavoro per occupato nel 2024 risulta inferiore a quello del 2004, ma il reddito familiare equivalente tiene grazie a famiglie più piccole, maggiore partecipazione al lavoro e diffusione della proprietà immobiliare. Quasi un quarto della popolazione è a rischio povertà o esclusione sociale (23,1%), con picchi al Sud (39,8%). Intanto, secondo la Commissione UE, l'Italia ha raggiunto la Francia nel Pil pro capite a parità di potere d'acquisto e dimezzato il gap con la Germania, anche se resta sotto i livelli pre-crisi debito. Ne parliamo con: Massimo Baldini, docente di Scienza delle Finanze presso l'Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia.Fatturato manifatturiero 2025 stabile a prezzi costanti, in modesta crescita a prezzi correntiIl Centro Studi di Intesa Sanpaolo, con Prometeia, prevede per l'industria manifatturiera italiana un fatturato 2025 di 1.143 miliardi di euro: stabile a prezzi costanti, in crescita dell'1,8% a prezzi correnti. Tra i settori più dinamici: farmaceutico (+2,4%), meccanica (+1,7%) e largo consumo (+1,2%). Fondamentale sarà la ripresa della domanda europea, trainata dal rallentamento dell'inflazione e dalla ripartenza tedesca. Dal 2026 al 2029 la crescita media attesa è dell'1% annuo, spinta da export, Pnrr e investimenti in digitalizzazione e sostenibilità. Le esportazioni resteranno il principale motore, con un saldo commerciale atteso di 1.324 miliardi al 2029. Sul fronte interno, la ripresa del potere d'acquisto e gli incentivi di Transizione 5.0 sosterranno consumi e investimenti. Interviene Gregorio De Felice, capo economista e responsabile Studi e Ricerche di Intesa Sanpaolo.Via alla prima federazione di Confindustria sui servizi intellettualiNasce Confindustria Professioni e Management, prima federazione confindustriale dedicata ai servizi Head Made, cioè quelli a elevato contenuto intellettuale.

Beppe, a native Italian, started his journey in active travel over two decades ago and, with the help of his wife Heather, co-founded Tourissimo, one of the top adventure travel companies in Italy. With years of expertise designing cycling and adventure tours across all 20 regions of Italy, Beppe and Heather have the inside scoop on the most authentic and unforgettable experiences Italy has to offer.So grab your espresso (or a glass of vino Italiano), and let's explore Italy region by region!Northern Italy: Adventure, Culture, and Alpine BeautyLombardy (Lombardia)Running along the Swiss border, Lombardy is Italy's largest and wealthiest region—a land of striking contrasts and cultural riches. Home to nearly 10 million people, Lombardy contains 12 of Italy's largest cities: Milan, Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Mantua, Pavia, Cremona, Lecco, Lodi, Monza, Sondrio, and Varese. The region blends modern sophistication with old-world charm, from the fashion capital and bustling metropolis of Milan to the serene, postcard-perfect landscapes of Lake Como.Lombardy is dotted with some of Italy's most beloved lakes, including Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Lake Garda, Lake Iseo, Lake Idro, and many more. Picturesque villages like Bellagio offer sun-drenched escapes along Lake Como's shores, while the medieval towns of Bergamo and Mantova enchant visitors with cobblestone streets, sweeping views, and centuries of history.Culinary lovers will be spoiled for choice with Lombardy's 60 Michelin-starred restaurants—3 with three stars, 6 with two stars, and 51 with one star. Be sure to savor the region's iconic Risotto alla Milanese, a creamy saffron-infused dish that's a local staple. Wine enthusiasts won't want to miss a glass of Franciacorta, Italy's sparkling answer to Champagne.November is a wonderful time to visit, with cooler temperatures and fewer tourists. It's also the perfect season to explore Lombardy's slice of the Alps, where charming mountain towns await nestled among the peaks. For an unforgettable adventure, consider attending the 2025 Winter Olympics, which will be held in Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo!Tourissimo Tip– If you are flying into Milan, select the correct airport because Milan has two airports! For info, check out the following Tourissimo blog: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/avoid-this-common-travel-mistake-know-milans-two-airportsVenetoVeneto, the birthplace of Prosecco, Polenta, and the iconic Spritz, is a region rich in charm, culture, and culinary delights. Stretching from the Italian Riviera to the Venetian Pre-Alps and the stunning Dolomites, Veneto is home to both natural beauty and historic towns. Its capital, the enchanting floating city of Venice, is world-famous for its canals, gondolas, labyrinthine streets, and undeniable romance.Each of Venice's islands offers something special: admire the colorful houses of Burano, renowned for its lace-making traditions; visit Murano, celebrated for its centuries-old glassblowing artistry; and soak up the peaceful atmosphere of Torcello. Exploring these islands by vaporetto (water bus) offers a quieter, more authentic glimpse into Venetian life. Tourissimo Tip–For a few more suggestions, check out Tourissimo's blog on the Venetian Lagoon: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/our-favorite-destinations-in-the-venetian-lagoonBeyond Venice, Veneto boasts a treasure trove of picturesque towns. Verona, Padua, Vicenza, and Asolo each offer their own distinct history and beauty. Visit Castelfranco Veneto for a charming escape or head to Bardolino to enjoy a boat ride on Italy's largest lake, Lago di Garda. Stroll the waterfront in Castelletto sul Garda or circle the freshwater moat of Cittadella, a red-brick medieval town full of character.In the countryside, the hills of Prosecco promise stunning vineyard views, while the medieval town of Montagnana offers a taste of the past. Nature lovers can visit the volcanic Euganean Hills in Este, and cheese lovers shouldn't miss the small town of Asiago, home to one of Italy's most famous cheeses.Veneto's culinary scene shines with 34 Michelin-starred restaurants—2 with three stars, 3 with two stars, and 29 with one star. Indulge in local specialties like Bigoli in Salsa, a hearty Venetian pasta with anchovy sauce, and toast with a glass of Prosecco, Grappa, or the regional favorite, the Select Spritz. And don't forget—Venetians love to celebrate, so let loose and join the party!Tourissimo Tips–Another fun suggestion is Veneto Marostica, the City of Chess, where they do a living chess match with hundreds of people dressed in medieval costumes every two years: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/marostica-the-city-of-chessPiedmont (Piemonte)Nestled at the foot of the Alps and bordered on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea, Piedmont is one of Italy's most underrated gems. With a diverse landscape that offers adventure and beauty year-round, this region is perfect for both winter skiing and summer hiking and biking, thanks to its stunning Alpine scenery.But Piedmont isn't just about breathtaking views—it's steeped in rich history and cultural significance. As the first capital of Italy, it boasts grand palaces, remarkable art, and sacred relics like the famed Shroud of Turin. The capital city of Turin is a vibrant hub, home to Europe's largest outdoor food market and the monthly Gran Balon flea market, a haven for vintage and antique lovers.Venture beyond the city and you'll discover a region bursting with charm and flavor. Tour the Langhe Hills, a paradise for vineyard visits, and sample Bagna Cauda, a warm anchovy and garlic dip beloved by locals. Wander the lakeside town of Stresa on Lake Maggiore, or stroll the cobbled streets of Neive, where views of rolling hills and storybook cottages create an unforgettable setting. In Asti, you can witness the September medieval horse races and visit the majestic Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e San Gottardo. For a true fairy-tale escape, head to Macugnaga in the valley of Monte Rosa, a perfect base for both skiing and hiking. And just outside of Turin lies the hidden gem of Lake Orta, a peaceful retreat away from the crowds.Piedmont's culinary scene is just as spectacular. With 35 Michelin-starred restaurants—2 with three stars, 3 with two stars, and 30 with one star—the region is a paradise for food lovers. Dine in Alba during white truffle season (September to January), and savor iconic regional dishes like Agnolotti del Plin and Coniglio Arrosto. Wine enthusiasts will be in heaven here—Piedmont is the land of Barolo, the "king of wines," and Barbaresco, two of Italy's most prestigious reds.Tourissimo Tips:Piedmont is home to the Slow Food movement: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/why-piedmont-is-renowned-for-its-slow-foodTourissimo Tip–Check out this blog for a guide to a day of eating in Turin: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/a-day-of-eating-in-turinTourissimo Tip–One of the Best Meals of Your Life will be at the Piazza Duomo in Alba!Emilia-RomagnaLocated in central Italy along the Adriatic coast, Emilia-Romagna is a vibrant and diverse region known for its perfect blend of “slow food” and “fast cars.” This area is considered both the culinary and automotive capital of Italy, offering rich traditions, warm hospitality, and unforgettable experiences.Food lovers will be in heaven here. Emilia-Romagna is the birthplace of iconic Italian delicacies such as Mortadella, Tortellini in Brodo, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, traditional Balsamic Vinegar, Lambrusco, and egg-based fresh pastas like lasagna, tortellini, and tagliatelle. A visit to Parma lets you savor authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano and world-class Prosciutto, as well as enjoy the elegant Teatro Regio opera house.The region also has a need for speed—it's home to legendary automotive brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati. For car enthusiasts, the Ferrari Museum in Modena is a must-see. Emilia-Romagna even has a dedicated cycling tourism office, and in summer 2023, it played host to several stages of the Tour de France, which began in nearby Florence.Beyond the food and cars, Emilia-Romagna offers a range of enchanting destinations. The capital city of Bologna is known for its Piazza Maggiore, the Two Towers, and the scenic Santuario Madonna di San Luca. In Ravenna, marvel at the dazzling, colorful mosaics and the historic San Vitale Basilica. Along the coast, vibrant seaside resorts like Cervia, Cesenatico, and Rimini create a lively, carnival-like party atmosphere from late May through September. For a more peaceful experience, explore the medieval gem of Brisighella, a lesser-known treasure full of charm.When it comes to fine dining, Emilia-Romagna doesn't disappoint.

Don't miss the Alpe di Siusi, Europe's largest Alpine meadow, which is especially stunning in spring and summer. Explore shimmering Lake Garda and uncover the region's medieval past through spectacular castles like Schloss Tirol, Castel Roncolo, and Castel d'Appiano.Tourissimo Tip–An off-the-beaten-path outdoor paradise can be found in the Alps of Trentino. Check out the Val di Sole. This is one of the areas that Beppe and Heather regularly go to on their personal vacations in Italy: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/the-wild-dolomitesThe culinary offerings here reflect the region's unique blend of cultures. Traditional dishes range from Bratwurst and Goulash to Italian-style pastas with hearty meats like deer. Foodies should try Speck, a savory smoked ham, perfectly paired with a glass of Gewürztraminer, a fragrant white wine native to the area. The region also produces excellent white wines and lighter reds that pair beautifully with its alpine cuisine.When it comes to fine dining, Trentino–South Tyrol excels with 33 Michelin-starred restaurants, including three three-star, five two-star, and twenty-five one-star establishments, making it one of Italy's most impressive gourmet regions.LiguriaLocated along Italy's rugged northwestern coastline, Liguria—also known as the Italian Riviera—boasts dramatic cliffs, colorful seaside villages, and incredible culinary traditions. The region is best known for the five picturesque villages of Cinque Terre, as well as the glamorous resort towns of Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure.Tourissimo Tip– If you visit the Cinque Terre, don't forget to look up, and hike up away from the crowds to see the heroic vineyards: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/the-heroic-winemaking-of-the-cinque-terreBecause of the narrow, winding roads with steep drop-offs, many travelers prefer to explore the region via the local train or by public or private boat. If you're planning to hike the famous trails, be aware that entrance permits are now required due to landslides and overtourism.In the regional capital of Genoa, dive into maritime history, visit the iconic San Lorenzo Cathedral, and wander the city's old port area. Just outside Genoa, discover the secluded San Fruttuoso Abbey, accessible only by boat or footpath. In Vernazza, one of the Cinque Terre towns, visit the Doria Castle and the beautiful Santa Margherita Church.Liguria is also a celebrity hotspot, and its cuisine is just as impressive as its scenery. Known as the birthplace of pesto, the region is famous for Pesto alla Genovese, made with a special local basil. Be sure to try the region's olive oil, garlic, cheeses, and exceptional seafood, especially the anchovies. Other regional specialties include Focaccia di Recco, a cheese-filled flatbread, and lighter olive oils that perfectly complement Ligurian dishes.For fine dining, Liguria is home to seven Michelin-starred restaurants, all with one star, offering refined cuisine rooted in the region's coastal and agricultural traditions.Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Friuli)Tucked between Veneto, Austria, and Slovenia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia is a lesser-known gem that offers a unique blend of Alpine landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and coastal charm. The region features part of the Dolomites, ideal for hiking, skiing, and capturing breathtaking scenery.The capital, Trieste, is a refined port city with a fascinating blend of Italian, Austro-Hungarian, and Slavic influences. Don't miss the Miramare Castle, perched over the sea with stunning views. In Cividale del Friuli, stroll through cobbled streets and sample Frico, a savory, crispy dish made of cheese and potatoes, best enjoyed with a glass of Schioppettino, a bold red wine native to the region.For outdoor adventures and relaxation, spend a beach day at Lignano Sabbiadoro, camp in Sistiana, bike the trails around Grado, or explore the ancient Roman ruins in Aquileia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Be sure to visit the enormous Grotta Gigante (Giant Cave), stroll through Unity of Italy Square, and tour the Revoltella Museum for modern art.Friuli-Venezia Giulia is also home to seven Michelin-starred restaurants, including two two-star establishments and five one-star venues, reflecting the region's quiet but impressive culinary scene.Tourissimo Tip– A hotel that Heather and Beppe love in Cormons is La Subida. It's a unique, high-end, and rustic property nestled in nature that boasts a 1-Michelin star restaurant: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/hotels-we-love-la-subidaAosta ValleyNestled in the northwestern tip of Italy, where it borders Switzerland and France, the Aosta Valley is Italy's smallest and highest region—a true mountain paradise. This alpine jewel is renowned for its dramatic snowcapped peaks, storybook castles, and a unique blend of French and Italian culture, as both languages are spoken here.The region is home to Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco), Europe's highest peak, which straddles the borders of Italy, France, and Switzerland. While the summit lies on the French side, visitors on the Italian side can experience the Skyway Monte Bianco, a breathtaking cable car ride offering panoramic views of the Alps.Key landmarks include the striking Matterhorn, the impressive Fénis and Savoy Castles, and the Bard Fortress, one of the largest and most remarkable fortifications in the Alps. After a day in the mountains, relax in one of the region's thermal spas, and indulge in Fonduta, a rich, velvety cheese fondue perfect for chilly alpine evenings.Wine lovers should sample the region's distinctive red mountain wines, especially Enfer d'Arvier, known for its bold flavor and high-altitude character.Tourissimo Tip–A fun tradition is the Friendship Cup, a communal cup of coffee: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/the-friendship-cup-of-valle-daostaCentral Italy: History, Art, and Rolling HillsTuscany (Toscana)Tuscany, the heart of the Renaissance, is a captivating region of rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, vineyards, and timeless art and architecture. Located just below Italy's northern regions, it's a haven for art lovers, history buffs, and food and wine enthusiasts alike. From Chianti to Brunello di Montalcino, the region offers a wide variety of world-class wines.The regional capital, Florence, is one of Italy's most walkable and safe major cities, making it ideal for solo travelers. Admire its architectural wonders while sipping on Chianti Classico and indulging in a local favorite—Bistecca alla Fiorentina. Must-see landmarks in Florence include the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo), Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Galleria dell'Accademia, home to Michelangelo's David. For iconic views, head to Piazzale Michelangelo.Beyond Florence, explore the historic cities of Siena, Lucca, and San Gimignano, each offering its own charm. Don't miss the Leaning Tower of Pisa or the Siena Cathedral, and spend time in the picturesque public squares like Piazza del Campo, Piazza della Signoria, and Piazza del Duomo.For off-the-beaten-path adventures, discover medieval hilltop villages such as Sorano, or head to the Maremma coast for scenic beaches and bold wines. Tuscany also shines in its culinary excellence, boasting 41 Michelin-starred restaurants—including 1 three-star, 5 two-star, and 35 one-star establishments.Tourissimo Tip–3 places in Tuscany you didn't know existed: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/three-places-in-tuscany-you-did-not-know-existedUmbriaUmbria, often called the "Green Heart of Italy," is the country's only completely landlocked region, nestled between Tuscany, Lazio, and Le Marche. Though it lacks large cities, Umbria more than makes up for it with breathtaking natural beauty, medieval towns, and a rich culinary tradition.One of Umbria's most impressive sights is the Cascata delle Marmore (Marmore Falls)—the second tallest waterfall in Europe. Nature lovers and photographers alike will be amazed by its dramatic 165-meter drop. The region is also home to Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, one of Italy's most revered saints, and a major pilgrimage destination.Food lovers will delight in Umbria's hearty, earthy cuisine, featuring lentils, mushroom-based dishes, cured meats, and the prized black truffle (Tartufo Nero di Norcia). Pair these specialties with a glass of Sagrantino di Montefalco, a robust red wine unique to the region.Umbria's culinary excellence is further reflected in its four Michelin-starred restaurants: Casa Vissani, Vespasia, Ada, and Elementi. Each holds one Michelin star, offering refined takes on the region's rustic flavors.Tourissimo Tip–Norcia is definitely one of Italy's culinary gems: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/norcia-one-of-italys-culinary-gemsMarcheLocated in central Italy on the Adriatic side, Marche is a beautiful region with a population of 1 million people, known for its charming towns, rich history, and welcoming, hardworking culture. The region offers stunning destinations like Urbino and Ancona, along with pristine beaches such as Spiaggia della Due Sorelle, Parco Naturale Monte San Bartolo, Mezzavalle, and the Riviera del Conero, not to mention many picturesque nature reserves.Must-see landmarks include Castello di Gradara, Palazzo Ducale di Urbino, the Sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto, Cattedrale di San Ciriaco, Tempio del Valadier, and the breathtaking underground Frasassi Caves. Marche's favorite cities and nearby towns also include Gubbio, Assisi, Perugia, Orvieto, and Cascia.For those drawn to religious history, highlights include the Papal Basilica of Saint Francis, the Sacred Convent of Saint Francis, Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli, and Basilica di Santa Chiara in Assisi, as well as the Basilica of Santa Rita da Cascia.

Food lovers shouldn't miss Arrosticini, the region's famous grilled lamb skewers, or a glass of bold Montepulciano d'Abruzzo red wine. Outdoor enthusiasts have countless opportunities for adventure, from swimming at the Stiffe Caves and strolling the Ponte del Mare to relaxing on the beaches of Riserva Naturale Guidata Punta Aderci and hiking to the iconic Rocca Calascio.

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.

Francesco Zarzana"Buk Festival"Festival della piccola e media editoriawww.bukfestival.itModena capitale della piccola e media  editoria italiana con la 18^ edizione di BUK Festival in programma sabato 3 e domenica 4 maggio nel cuore della città, il Chiostro di San Paolo che ospiterà, insieme a una vasta rappresentanza di editori, il cartellone di incontri con tante anteprime editoriali, allestito dal direttore artistico Francesco Zarzana per la cura organizzativa di Sara Caselli. Promosso da ProgettArte che proprio in questa edizione festeggia i suoi primi 25 anni, BUK Festival torna con una traccia tematica, Le trame e la vita,  che nell'edizione della maggiore età riscopre la letteratura di genere con un cartellone di percorsi gialli, storici e di impegno civile - libri inediti, nuovissimi o recenti di case editrici piccole e medie di tutta Italia.E con tante novità, prima fra tutte, nella Giornata mondiale del Libro mercoledì 23 aprile alle 21 al Teatro Storchi, la consegna del Premio Speciale BUK 2025 alla scrittrice torinese Deborah Gambetta, autrice di Incompletezza(Ponte alle Grazie), proprio ieri entrata nella dozzina finalista del Premio Strega 2025 per quest'opera. Il riconoscimento, recitano le motivazioni, viene conferito «per aver indagato attraverso la scrittura narrativa, le leggi matematiche e, così facendo, quelle della vita, alimentando di passione l'una e l'altra ricerca e intuendo le sinergie “carsiche” fra due “culture” circoscritte da confini puramente convenzionali». Spiega il direttore artistico di BUK Festival Francesco Zarzana che «il riconoscimento si identifica con il festival e nelle ultime edizioni è stato conferito a firme della narrativa contemporanea come Rosella Postorino nel 2024, Maurizio De Giovanni nel 2023 e Donatella Di Pietrantonio nel 2022, in precedenza a Paolo Mieli, Federica Manzon, Barbara Schiavulli, Emma D'Aquino, Barbara Baraldi e a pordenonelegge quale miglior festival letterario italiano». Mercoledì 23 aprile sarà anche la grande serata di Anteprima di BUK 2025: al Teatro Storchi infatti andrà in scena Gli occhi di Omero (Les yeux d'Homère), protagonista la nota attrice francese Fanny Gilles diretta dal regista Francesco Zarzana: prodotto da ProgettArte, lo spettacolo riprende la disputa accademica secondo la quale Omero sarebbe in realtà stato la prima poetessa greca: avrebbe conosciuto un anziano cieco ascoltando da lui le storie di Nausicaa, Circe, Calypso, la Dea Atena, le Sirene, Scilla, Euriclea, Penelope e così alimentando una prospettiva tutta femminile all'impianto generale dell'Iliade e dell'Odissea. Fra le novità di BUK Festival 2025, domenica 4 maggio alle 10, anche la Biblioteca Umana: evento aperto alla partecipazione del pubblico, dove i “veri” libri da leggere saranno le persone, con le loro esperienze di vita. «BUK Festival – osserva l'Assessore alla Cultura del Comune di Modena, Andrea Bortolamasi – è un appuntamento importante per il tessuto culturale della nostra città, perché promuove la lettura e l'attività delle piccole e medie realtà editoriali. E l'anteprima del 23 aprile, nella Giornata Mondiale del Libro, o un'ulteriore opportunità per avvicinarsi al moffriràndo dei libri in modo fresco e coinvolgente».  A BUK Festival spicca il percorso delle anteprime e novità 2025 in chiave giallo-noir:  come per il thriller distopico del divulgatore scientifico Andrea Segrè, Gelo profondo. La nuova era glaciale, da poco uscito per Minerva, e le pubblicazioni inedite firmate da ProgettArte, in uscita il 3 maggio, in occasione di BUK 2025: Il Fermo Posta di Robìne, di Pasquale Biscari, un romanzo sospeso tra introspezione e mistero, e una storia “gialla” attinta dalle cronache anni Novanta: I Diavoli della Bassa di Federico Mazzoli sulle presunte messe sataniche nella Bassa modenese. Anteprima assoluta a BUK per Giraldi editore con il giallo-fantasy dello scrittore Pierangelo Soldati, Robin Barlow. La morte corre sulla tela del ragno, e con Il lupo sotto la pelle (vol. 1 e 2) di Graziano Lonardi, una saga thriller venata di horror pubblicata dall'editore De Tomi. Fra le anteprime assolute di BUK Festival anche quelle legate al tema del viaggio, reale o metaforico: domenica 4 maggio, alle 16 nello Spazio Portici, per i giovani lettori si presenta il delicatissimo albo illustrato di Mila Lodi, Viva la vita, e il cooperatore sociale e scrittore Paolo Menzani firma una guida speciale, La Via degli Dei, sullo storico cammino tra Bologna e Firenze, una “guida marsupio” arricchita da contenuti in realtà aumentata, queste sono pensate per accompagnare i viaggiatori passo dopo passo. Un progetto inclusivo, curato da edita Officine Gutenberg.

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.

Mussolini e Hitler si incontrano per la prima volta in una piazza San Marco gremita di camicie nere. Tra la folla, anche l'ex commissario di polizia Siegfried Sauer e il suo compare Mutti, che hanno raggiunto la città lagunare per unirsi alla resistenza antifascista. La speranza è di creare un incidente che sventi il pericolo di un'alleanza tra Italia e Germania.Sauer e Mutti incappano però in un mistero di ben altra portata: nella notte, in gran segreto, Mussolini si inoltra in motoscafo nella laguna. I due riescono a seguirlo fino al largo di San Clemente, dove lo vedono attraccare a un pontile buio e poi entrare, accolto da un uomo in camice bianco, nell'edificio principale dell'isola. Un'ora più tardi, il Duce torna al motoscafo e riattraversa la laguna per rientrare ai suoi alloggi, visibilmente scosso.Sauer e Mutti decidono di indagare e scoprono che sull'isola c'è un manicomio femminile, e che lì è ospitata una paziente misteriosa di nome Ida Dalser. La sua storia ha dell'incredibile: la donna, infatti, sostiene di essere nientemeno che la prima e unica legittima moglie di Benito Mussolini…Chi è veramente Ida Dalser? Una folle? Una bugiarda? O una vittima in possesso di informazioni che metterebbero a rischio il Regime?Sauer e Mutti si renderanno ben presto conto che dietro Ida Dalser e le sue accuse inaudite c'è molto, molto di più. C'è l'inimmaginabile.Fabiano Massimi è nato a Modena nel 1977. Laureato in Filosofia tra Bologna e Manchester, dopo aver lavorato come traduttore e consulente per alcune fra le maggiori case editrici italiane, oggi insegna scrittura creativa nel programma universitario della Scuola Holden.

In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso recount their visit to Modena, Italy. They describe the city's attractions, from balsamic vinegar to Ferrari. They also discuss travel safety tips and the upcoming changes to the podcast schedule. Key Points: Podcast Schedule Update: Beginning the first Wednesday of April, the podcast will switch to two episodes per month for a few months. This change is due to scheduling constraints. Travel Safety Advice: Travelers to the Napoli area should be aware of recent earthquake activity. Visitors should note the location of their country's consulate. A grab-and-go bag with essential documents is recommended. Recent heavy rains caused flooding in Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and parts of Emilia-Romagna. Modena's Centro Storico: Kimberly and Tommaso visited Modena, known for its balsamic vinegar and Ferrari. Kimberly recalls fond memories of buying balsamic vinegar during her time in Milan. The city was decorated for Christmas, with a unique style of lighting the streets. The hosts admired the lack of crowds in Piazza Grande. Modena was originally a Roman colony called Mutina. UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Modena has three UNESCO-recognized architectural masterpieces. The Duomo is a Romanesque building that took 220 years to build. The Bell Tower of the Duomo is known as Ghirlandina. The Piazza Grande is the third UNESCO site. Famous Modenese Figures: Luciano Pavarotti, the famous tenor, was from Modena. His home slightly outside the city is now a museum. Chef Massimo Bottura, who runs Osteria Francescana, is also from Modena. Giuseppe Giusti Balsamic Vinegar: The Giusti family has been producing balsamic vinegar since 1605. The shop on Piazza Grande has a very alluring interior. Kimberly and Tommaso tasted and purchased various vinegars. They paired the vinegar with parmigiano and Brunello upon returning home. Ferrari Museum: The museum focuses on the life and work of Enzo Ferrari. The museum showcases noteworthy Ferrari automobiles. The design and color of the cars, as well as the devotion to each car, stood out. The exit features a quote from Enzo Ferrari: “The best Ferrari ever built, is the next one.” Follow us on Social Media Instagram Facebook

It's one of my three-day events that I'm running, and as I always do, I have everyone gather in a circle one at a time, I have everyone say their name and say one fun fact that would not be on their bio, so we go around, and person after person is introducing themselves, and we get to the last person who says, “Hi. I'm Sandy Zabarsky, and I just got out of prison.” The whole room goes silent and you can honestly hear a pin drop. Everyone's eyes are just on her, and for a split second, you can almost feel their assumptions kicking in. Like, what does she mean? Is she really just out of prison? Did I even hear that right? Then, she continues and says, “I've been an educator for most of my career. I work in the juvenile justice system, and I recently retired, so yes, I have just gotten out of prison, so to speak, and I spent my entire career there.” In that moment, the meaning of her words completely changed. The whole room, the feeling of the room, changes because what she says, it makes her work relevant and completely has a plot twist in the middle of this exercise because what mattered to her more than anything else is that it wasn't only about working in prison, but for her, it was helping the kids get their GEDs. That was really important because she knew that a piece of paper could mean the difference between them having a completely different life story and repeating the same pattern. Sandy Zabarsky, also known as my mom, helped me in many, many, many events throughout my career, helping us really look at storytelling in a different way. She helped me realize that storytelling isn't just about entertainment or something to read as a book here or a movie there. Instead, storytelling is about how we shape reality, and that's exactly what my guest today does. Professor Dr. Ger Graus OBE is a globally recognized education leader, known for his innovative approach to children's learning. Having held key roles at KidZania and the Children's University, he serves as a professor and advisor to various global education organizations, and has received numerous accolades, and he understands today's aspect of storytelling better than most people. You'll get answers to questions like: Why is storytelling so important in education? How does it impact learning? What are some hidden narratives in education that actually shape decisions and opportunities? How could storytelling be integrated into school curriculums? What benefits would it offer students? What common misconceptions exist about new technology in education? How can we change our mindset to embrace change instead of resisting it? What you will learn (about) in this episode: The power of perspective in storytelling and how a dramatic introduction can immediately shift perceptions How stories make learning more meaningful than rote memorization The value of personal narratives and how everyone, younger and older, has valuable stories to share How many people believe their stories aren't "big" enough but that storytelling is about connection and expression Finding humor and humanity in stories and how storytelling helps us process emotions and connect with others Who is Ger?

Luca Gianotti"L'arte del camminare"Consigli per partire con il piede giustoEdiciclo Editorewww.ediciclo.itLa nuova edizione, riveduta e aggiornata, del primo manuale accessibile e divulgativo sul camminare scritto da uno dei maggiori esperti sull'argomento.Viaggiare camminando vuol dire entrare in contatto con la Terra, che calpestiamo passo dopo passo, e con la sua Natura a cui abbandonare i nostri sensi per farsi accogliere da Lei in un abbraccio ristoratore e rigenerante. E dunque abbracciare un albero, dormire sotto le stelle, ascoltare il silenzio, annusare e assaggiare le erbe incontrate, bagnarsi nei torrenti o nelle calette isolate dei mari mediterranei, ammirare il volo di un rapace, sono tutte emozioni che ci riempiono di energia. È un viaggiare a bassa velocità, e quindi è la forma di viaggio che consente maggiormente un approfondimento verticale dei luoghi attraversati. Il camminare si è evoluto in questi anni da attività sportiva e performante (arrivare sulla cima) a attività di vagabondaggio, spirituale, di crescita interiore. Il camminare sempre di più è un gesto rivoluzionario, controcorrente, ma anche un bisogno profondo che torna a galla. Di tutto questo vogliamo parlarvi, introducendovi a questa nobile arte.Luca GianottiÈ nato nel 1961 a Modena, laurea in filosofia, guida di trekking da una ventina d'anni, tra i fondatori della Compagnia dei Cammini, in passato fondatore dell'associazione La Boscaglia e suo presidente per più di un decennio. È stato scialpinista con all'attivo alcune spedizioni alpinistiche importanti tra le quali la traversata del Vatnajokull (Islanda), il più grande ghiacciaio del mondo, e la salita al Khan Tengri (7010 m) in Thien Shan (confine Kazakistan/Kirghizistan). Tra le sue imprese anche la traversata del deserto del Sahara algerino in mountain bike. Camminatore in tante parti del mondo, dalla Patagonia alla Thailandia, dall'Albania a Capoverde, da Socotra (Yemen) alla Norvegia, anche se ha sempre privilegiato i cammini mediterranei, Grecia, Turchia, Italia del Sud e isole. In Italia ha creato alcuni trekking tra cui il Sentiero Spallanzani nell'Appennino reggiano, di cui ha pubblicato la guida. Accompagna gruppi in Sardegna, Creta, Capo Verde, Majella, Pollino, Murge, Corsica, Gargano, Samos. Si dedica all'approfondimento dei temi del camminare come terapia, e tiene corsi di camminate meditative. Il suo progetto su questo argomento è il Cammino Profondo, o Deep Walking. Gestisce un agriturismo in Abruzzo, dove organizza trekking con gli asini, il primo in Italia con la formula francese del trekking in autonomia, senza guida. Ultimo suo progetto realizzato è il CamminaCreta, la traversata di quest'isola per 500 km, per valorizzare un sentiero che può diventare cammino europeo. Pubblica una newsletter quindicinale (“Il Cammino”) con migliaia di lettori.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
