Nella storia di Salvatore Riina si arriva ad uno snodo cruciale. Tra marzo e aprile 1986, l'Italia vive settimane drammatiche e decisive nella lotta contro la criminalità e i cosiddetti poteri occulti.

La segunda temporada de la serie argentina 'División Palermo' se estrena en Netflix el 17 de julio. La comedia, creada y protagonizada por Santiago Korovsky, vuelve a jugar con los límites del humor, con nuevos personajes y con una Guardia urbana que se enfrenta a situaciones locas. Con el actor argentino charlamos de todo esto.

Il 23 maggio 1992 l'Italia si è fermata davanti a una voragine sull'autostrada per Palermo. Era l'attentato di Capaci: la mafia uccideva Giovanni Falcone, sua moglie e tre agenti della scorta. Ma da quella ferita è nato anche qualcosa di nuovo. In questo episodio, entriamo nel museo MUST23, costruito grazie ai fondi europei proprio lì, a Capaci, per trasformare il ricordo in consapevolezza e responsabilità collettiva. Con Dario Riccobono, Direttore responsabile del museo, scopriamo come la tecnologia, la bellezza e la partecipazione civica possano diventare strumenti concreti di antimafia.

Il 10 febbraio 1986 si apre a Palermo il più grande processo mai celebrato contro la mafia: il Maxiprocesso, voluto da Giovanni Falcone e Paolo Borsellino. Un'aula bunker, 475 imputati, centinaia di avvocati e testimoni. Sullo sfondo, il nome che incute più timore: Salvatore “Totò” Riina, boss dei Corleonesi, accusato di essere il mandante di decine di omicidi.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8221MINUTELLA SI AUTOPROCLAMA ''GRANDE PRELATO'' INVIATO DA DIO COME SUCCESSORE DI BENEDETTO XVIIl tempo è maturo: Alessandro Minutella è ufficialmente l'inviato dal Cielo che il mondo stava attendendo da secoli. O almeno così dice.Erano mesi che l'ex prete palermitano annunciava il grande evento apocalittico di Monza, svoltosi ieri nel palazzetto dello sport "Opiquad Arena" (riempito per un terzo).Un pomeriggio domenicale da usare come modello di quando il fanatismo prende il sopravvento sulla fede e l'irrazionalità travalica l'ambito della religione.Questo è il motivo per cui ci interessano tali fenomeni e per cui ne parliamo, consapevoli di essere gli unici a farlo.Un uomo palermitano di 52 anni ha inventato di sana pianta la figura biblica e profetica del Grande Prelato, parlandone per anni e gradualmente ammiccando con sempre più intensità la possibilità di essere lui stesso.Così, quando il "Piccolo resto cattolico", il nome del gruppo creato da Minutella, ha iniziato a essere colpito dagli scismi interni, l'ex prete siciliano ha convinto altri preti scomunicati a proclamarlo come tale. Titolo che implica anche l'essere successore di Benedetto XVI.CHI È ALESSANDRO MINUTELLA, NEO GRANDE PRELATOMa innanzitutto, chi è Alessandro Minutella?Si tratta di un ex sacerdote palermitano, noto per essere diventato il volto più radicale e controverso del tradizionalismo cattolico italiano.Ordinato nel 1999, Minutella ha esercitato per anni il ministero sacerdotale nella diocesi di Palermo assumendo gradualmente posizioni sempre più critiche nei confronti della Chiesa postconciliare, fino ad arrivare alla completa rottura con l'autorità ecclesiastica.A partire dal pontificato di Papa Francesco, il sacerdote ha creduto alle castronerie del giornalista Andrea Cionci sulla falsa abdicazione di Ratzinger, cominciando a parlare apertamente di "falsa chiesa" e accusando Bergoglio di eresia e invalidità.In parallelo, pur rivendicando di avanzare con la "sola forza del Vangelo e senza mezzi umani" ha sviluppato tramite un'ossessiva presenza sui social network un culto attorno alla sua persona, costituendo un gruppo di seguaci chiamato "Piccolo Resto cattolico".Proclamandosi veggente e inventandosi locuzioni divine, ha promesso loro di custodire la vera fede in attesa del trionfo del Cuore Immacolato di Maria.Nel 2018 è stato ufficialmente scomunicato dalla Chiesa cattolica per scisma ed eresia. Nel 2022 è stato dimesso dallo stato clericale.Nonostante ciò, continua a celebrare messe in rito tridentino, organizzare eventi in tutta Italia e mantenere una massiccia presenza mediatica attraverso Facebook e YouTube, dai quali la sua setta (come altro chiamarla?) dipende quasi totalmente. CHI È IL GRANDE PRELATO E COSA SIGNIFICAE ora veniamo al "Grande Prelato", chi è?Si tratta di una figura inventata da Minutella sulla base di antiche visioni e apparizioni private, opportunamente manipolate.Il Grande Prelato, sostiene in un video assieme a Cionci, è un personaggio divino che ricostruirà la gerarchia sacerdotale e la Chiesa intera nei tempi dell'apostasia. Lo stesso Minutella ha elencato alcune circostanze storiche in cui si parlerebbe di questo Salvatore (in particolare legate a Madre Mariana Francisca de Jesús Torres, Amadio da Firenze, Anna Katharina Emmerick e Dolindo Ruotolo).La fonte principale? I suoi stessi libri, freneticamente sponsorizzati parallelamente al codice Iban.Minutella ha cominciato a parlare del Grande Prelato circa tre anni fa, prevedendo già il corso degli eventi e preparando il terreno alla sua (auto)proclamazione avvenuta ieri.Nelle sue strabordanti omelie ha sostenuto che il "Grande Prelato" «unirà i cristiani d'Oriente e d'Occidente», «spingerà gli ebrei a convertirsi», e, «immerso nel soprannaturale», il Grande Prelato «avrà tutte le caratteristiche: pastore, martire, teologo, predicatore, annunciatore evangelico, missionario».Se prima diceva che il Grande Prelato «sarà eletto con un'elezione miracolosa», nel tempo ha alzato gradualmente il tiro, sparandola sempre più grossa: «Il Grande Prelato è inviato da Dio, non semplicemente eletto» e «potrebbe essere una figura ancora più clamorosa di Pietro e di tutti i Pietro messi assieme».Nel 2022, già pensando a se stesso, precisò che «il Grande Prelato, col suo fascino, col suo carisma per il modo con cui parlerà di Cristo e delle verità della fede riuscirà a riacchiappare e ad accattivarsi l'attenzione delle masse cristiane».Ha quindi sostenuto che addirittura Benedetto XVI si sarebbe rivolto al "Grande Prelato" nel saluto ai cardinali il 28/02/2013, quando giurò obbedienza al suo successore. Peccato che Minutella ometta di dire che in quell'occasione Ratzinger specificò che il futuro Papa a cui prestava obbedienza si trovava tra i presenti davanti a lui quel giorno.«Il Grande Prelato», ha detto ancora Alessandro Minutella, «da quando è nato vive, non come tutti gli altri, ma inzuppato nel mistero di Dio, immerso nel soprannaturale con cose inaudite che solo lui racconterà quando la missione terminerà». COME MINUTELLA SI È FATTO PROCLAMARE GRANDE PRELATOCome già detto, il lento convincimento operato da Minutella nei confronti del "Piccolo resto" di essere il successore di Benedetto XVI è cominciato da tempo.Già nel 2023, in un video intitolato "Don Minutella è il Grande Prelato?", metteva in bocca ai suoi seguaci il sospetto che lui fosse il Grande Prelato, fingendo di respingere con umiltà questo onore: «Mah non so, sarei il primo a fuggire se così fosse». Si è visto come è fuggito.Successivamente ha ammiccato al fatto che «se per altro fossi io il Grande Prelato, è un ruolo che già svolgo tutto sommato». Aggiungendo, pochi mesi dopo: «Se non sono io il Grande Prelato l'ho anticipato nella migliore maniera».Progressivamente Minutella è diventato sempre più esplicito: «Il Grande Prelato? E' probabile che sia io. Credo di essere io».L'opera di convincimento è stata potenziata anche di fronte ai crescenti malumori interni sulla sua evidente auto-sponsorizzazione: «Vorrei porre una questione provocatoria», ha sbottato in un video del 2024, esasperato dalla polemiche e dagli abbandoni. «Ma perché non potrei esserlo? Non lo sono, state tutti tranquilli, va bene! Ma perché non potrei esserlo, a tutti i costi? Chi lo ha stabilito? Lo hanno stabilito quelli che se ne sono andati?».Sempre nel 2024 ha fatto in modo che si presentasse la sua candidatura a Grande Prelato facendola passare come «volontà di Dio». Su tale candidatura si è ufficializzata la spaccatura con l'ex sodale Andrea Cionci, di cui abbiamo già parlato recentemente.Le contraddizioni di Minutella sono infinite, ma mettersi ad elencarle sembra davvero come sparare sulla Croce Rossa.Per pura curiosità ci soffermiamo solo sul fantomatico identikit del Grande Prelato emerso mettendo assieme alla rinfusa varie visioni private dei secoli scorsi. Chiunque capisce che tale figura non c'entra nulla con Minutella.Se si presta fede a quanto lui stesso estrapola dagli ambigui scritti del poeta Clemens Brentano relativi alle estasi della beata Emmerick (i testi a lei attribuiti furono scartati nel 2004 come "non autentici" durante il processo di beatificazione), si parla di un personaggio proveniente "non lontano da Roma" e di "stirpe reale".Minutella ha talmente compreso queste contraddizioni che più volte ha provato a "correggerle" per potersi auto-identificare ugualmente con la presunta visione della Emmerick.In un video piuttosto comico del 2023 usa il noto effetto della preterizione, cioè finge di negare per affermare, e sostiene: «Penso di non essere il Grande Prelato, anche se sono vestito di rosso, questo lo devo dire, la talare ce l'ho custodita. Vengo da sotto Roma, ho 50 anni la settimana prossima, non sono nobile... ma insomma qualcosa può anche sfuggire eh!».Da notare la manipolazione nella manipolazione: il provenire "non lontano da Roma", secondo quanto il poeta Brentano avrebbe trascritto relativamente alle visioni della Emmerick, viene da lui trasformato nel "provenire sotto Roma". Minutella evidentemente sa che la Sicilia si trova a oltre 900 km di distanza da Roma!Questo è il vortice a cui sono sottoposti da anni gli ingenui membri del "Piccolo resto cattolico".MINUTELLA E LA NOMINA A GRANDE PRELATO A MONZAE finalmente arriviamo a ieri pomeriggio.Il grande evento "divino, miracoloso e apocalittico", preannunciato da veggenti di ogni tipo nel corso dei secoli, si è svolto nel piccolo palazzetto sportivo di Monza. Capienza 4.500 posti, presenti poco più di 1.500 persone.Minutella è riuscito a farsi eleggere dai preti scomunicati del "Sodalizio" come "Grande Prelato".Presenti sul palco, a fianco di Minutella, si riconoscono Enrico Bernasconi, Pietro Follador, Ramon Guidetti, Johannes Lehrner più -per fare numero- un sedicente diacono (dopo l'elezione di Minutella gli si è inginocchiato di fronte in segno di adorazione). Una donna vestita da suora aveva il compito di registrare i video sul palco.A prendere la parola è stato Bernasconi che, a nome del "Sodalizio", ha annunciato in modo solenne che «tutti coloro che non respingono il magistero pseudo-apostata di Bergoglio e Prevost sono allo stesso modo scomunicati, ovvero fuori dalla comunione con la Chiesa cattolica».Ha quindi aggiunto che «Alessandro Maria Minutella è la guida già annunci

Navigare da Cagliari a Palermo su una barca confiscata ai narcotrafficanti, trasformata in laboratorio itinerante per giovani del Centro di Giustizia Minorile: la Rotta Mediterranea della Legalità è un viaggio che ha unito storie, ricordi e speranze tra due sponde del Mediterraneo. La voce è quella di Antonello Caria, vicepresidente dell'Associazione Sicurezza Partecipata e Sviluppo, intervistato da Unica Radio. Con entusiasmo e passione, racconta l'essenza del progetto “Rotta Mediterranea della Legalità”, nato dall'intuizione condivisa con Maria Albanese a Palermo, durante una presentazione pubblica. L'idea si è presto trasformata in un laboratorio dinamico, un'esperienza educativa in mare aperto, che ha coinvolto giovani in carico alla giustizia minorile in un percorso di formazione, ascolto e consapevolezza civile. Parole, onde e memoria: un viaggio che insegna a cambiare rotta Il cuore del progetto è la barca a vela “Samurai Jack”, un'imbarcazione sequestrata ai trafficanti di droga e restituita alla collettività come strumento di inclusione sociale. Su quella barca, salpata da Cagliari il 24 giugno, hanno navigato insieme educatori, volontari e due giovani partecipanti, fino a giungere a Palermo il 26 giugno, data simbolica che coincide con la Giornata Internazionale contro l'abuso e il traffico illecito di droga. Insieme, hanno attraversato le acque che separano — e uniscono — le città di Emanuela Loi e Paolo Borsellino, entrambi vittime della strage di via D'Amelio. Ed è proprio lì, in via D'Amelio, che l'equipaggio ha deposto una corona a forma di timone, simbolo di direzione e coscienza civile. Durante la traversata, i giovani hanno preso parte a letture, riflessioni e registrazioni podcast, disponibili online sul sito www.larottamediterraneadellalegalita.it. La barca è diventata maestra di vita, insegnando rispetto, collaborazione e capacità di affrontare insieme le difficoltà. La frase simbolo dell'iniziativa, coniata da Simone Camba – “Il mare unisce ciò che la terra divide” – è diventata il filo conduttore del progetto e della puntata di Bee Podcast. Memoria operante, giovani e un'altra idea di futuro «Non vogliamo solo ricordare — spiega Caria — ma costruire una memoria operante, che possa guidare il presente e il futuro attraverso azioni concrete, simboli e parole cariche di significato». L'obiettivo dichiarato è trasmettere ai giovani il valore della legalità democratica, non come concetto astratto, ma come insieme di gesti e responsabilità condivise. La Rotta Mediterranea ha coinvolto attivamente anche istituzioni, magistrati, educatori e forze dell'ordine, tra cui il Centro Studi Borsellino, il Comune di Palermo – in particolare l'Ottava Circoscrizione – e figure come il magistrato Vittorio Teresi e il Questore di Palermo Vito Calvino.

Recognizing its strategic importance, the Allies launched Operation Husky, aiming to seize control and weaken Axis powers. Under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, a diverse coalition of American, British, and Canadian forces prepared for an audacious amphibious invasion. On July 9, the Allies landed on the beaches of Sicily, facing fierce resistance from German and Italian troops. The initial landings were chaotic but successful, as Allied forces quickly established a foothold. The ensuing battles were marked by intense fighting in towns like Syracruse and Catania. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but relentless Allied pressure ultimately drove the Axis forces into retreat. As the campaign progressed, the relationship between Mussolini and Hitler strained under the weight of defeat. The Allies closed in on the capital, Palermo, while the Italian government began to crumble. On July 25, Mussolini was ousted, marking a turning point in the war. The Allied victory in Sicily not only secured a vital stronghold in the Mediterranean but also led to Italy's surrender and the collapse of fascist power. The conquest of Sicily set the stage for the liberation of mainland Italy, significantly altering the course of the war in Europe. The collaboration of Allied forces highlighted the strength of unity against tyranny, forging a pathway toward eventual victory over Axis nations.

Ustica, 45 anni dopo, tra verità storica e mancata giustizia. Il 27 giugno 1980, il Dc9 I-TIGI della compagnia Itavia parte dall'aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna con 113 minuti di ritardo con destinazione Palermo. Il cielo è limpido, calma di vento, orario previsto di atterraggio 21,15. Poco prima delle 21, il velivolo sparisce dai radar dei centri di controllo mentre sorvola la tratta tra Ponza e Ustica, nel luogo aeronautico chiamato Punto Condor. 81 persone, settantasette passeggeri e quattro membri dell'equipaggio sprofondano insieme al DC 9 negli abissi del Mar Tirreno. La verità storica. 45 anni dopo c'è una verità storica, già impressa nella sbobinatura delle conversazioni tra il pilota del Dc9 Domenico Gatti e i vari operatori dei centri di controllo. Nessun cedimento strutturale, nessuna bomba a bordo. Il DC 9 viene abbattuto da un aereo militare di nazionalità sconosciuta nell'ambito di un'azione di guerra a bassa intensità, oppure colpito da altro aereo, in quella che in gergo tecnico viene definita "near collision". La verità giudiziaria. Intorno alla sparizione del DC9 si forma un puzzle frammentato da depistaggi, occultamenti di prove e silenzi istituzionali. Il giudice Rosario Priore, nella sua ordinanza di cinquemila pagine, sostiene che l'aereo viene abbattuto in uno scenario di guerra. I processi assolvono perché il fatto non sussiste i vertici dell'Aeronautica, ma la giustizia civile riconosce le responsabilità dello Stato italiano, e condanna il Ministero dei Trasporti e della Difesa a risarcire i familiari delle vittime per depistaggi e distruzione di prove. La recente archiviazione chiesta della Procura di Roma comunque esclude che ad abbattere il Dc-9 sia stata una bomba nascosta a bordo e anche la pista dell'attentato terroristico. Le dichiarazioni dell'ex presidente della Repubblica Francesco Cossiga, dell'ex presidente della Consulta Giuliano Amato e dell'ex generale Nicolò Bozzo, tra gli altri, suggeriscono un coinvolgimento francese e americano nella strage. Tuttavia, nonostante le recenti dichiarazioni di Amato, il Governo italiano non ha ancora presentato nuove rogatorie alla Francia per far luce sulla vicenda. Come affermava Andrea Purgatori, prima di lasciarci, "manca l'ultimo miglio" per ottenere piena giustizia, un passo che spetta alla politica compiere con coraggio. "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

W tym odcinku zabieram Cię na zachodnią stronę Sycylię – opowiadam o smakach, zapachach i rytmie dnia, który pozwala naprawdę odpocząć.

In this episode I had the privilege of interviewing the fashion designer and creative director Harris Reed... and I have to say I was blown away by his vision, his confidence, his charm and his down to earth warmth. Fighting for the beauty of fluidity, half-American, half-British Harris Reed designs to create conversation. Growing up with a strong sense of self, Harris was able to quickly understand the transformative power of clothing and its correlation with identity and liberation. While still studying at Central Saint Martins, he caught the attention of the likes of Harry Styles who he dressed in some iconic looks for his tour including his signature pussy bow blouses and flares. Alessandro Michele, the then creative director of Gucci, spotted him and recruited him to his design studio.  His brand has gone from strength to strength showing Demi-Couture collections biannually in London and garnering VIP fans and clients including Beyoncé, Adele, and Sam Smith. The overall DNA of the Harris Reed brand and personal identity, is best described as Romanticism Gone Nonbinary. It puts the wearer and their fluidity - in whatever way it manifests, front and centre yet all while staying true to the brand's ethos that strives for a vision of gender fluidity and inclusivity.  Personally, Harris dresses to invite the looks and stares, to blur the preconceived fault-lines people have about gender and sexuality. He is an incredibly striking and magnetic human being.  In 2021 he was invited to dress Iman for the prestigious Met Gala... both he and Iman looked spectacular despite a little personal mishap on his way there...too funny and too personal to write about but listen in and you will hopefully laugh with us. In September 2022, aged just 26, he was appointed the youngest ever Creative Director of French fashion house Nina Ricci. He is absolutely flying...In October 2023 Harris married his husband Eitan Senerman in an intimate ceremony in London at Chelsea Old Town Hall and Claridge's... The second wedding celebration in Palermo, Sicily in June 2024, saw Harris in 4 different outfits ... looking ever more spectacular in each one...of course we delve into why he designed each look...and how he wanted to feel...His recently published, beautifully illustrated book Fluid, is well worth a read...

Nella storia di Salvatore Riina e dei Corleonesi siamo arrivati al 1985. Anno di omicidi e stragi La strage di Pizzolungo, avvenuta il 2 aprile 1985, è uno degli episodi più tragici e simbolici della guerra tra lo Stato e la mafia. Un attentato mafioso destinato al giudice Carlo Palermo, sopravvissuto miracolosamente, causò invece la morte di Barbara Rizzo Asta e dei suoi due figli gemelli, Salvatore e Giuseppe, di appena 6 anni. In questo video ricostruiamo minuto per minuto quella mattina a Trapani, le indagini successive, le responsabilità attribuite ai vertici di Cosa Nostra e in particolare a Salvatore Riina, che secondo numerose ricostruzioni fu tra i mandanti dell'attentato. Approfondiamo i legami con i traffici internazionali di armi e droga, il ruolo oscuro dei servizi segreti e i depistaggi che hanno ostacolato la giustizia. Un documento fondamentale per capire la ferocia della mafia stragista e l'importanza della memoria storica.

Salvo colpi di scena, l'OPS di Mps su Mediobanca potrebbe partire tra l'8 e il 15 luglio e chiudersi entro agosto. Dopo il parere favorevole informale della Vigilanza Bce, si attende il via libera formale per inviare il prospetto informativo alla Consob, che ha 5 giorni lavorativi per autorizzare l'offerta. Mps punta a raggiungere almeno il 66,67% del capitale di Mediobanca per ottenere il pieno controllo. L'operazione si inserisce nella strategia di rilancio di Mps, partita con la cessione del 15% da parte del Tesoro lo scorso novembre a investitori italiani, tra cui Banco Bpm, Anima, e le famiglie Del Vecchio e Caltagirone. Su questa cessione indaga ora la Procura di Milano, ipotizzando il reato di aggiotaggio, mentre la Commissione Europea valuta eventuali aiuti di Stato. Banca Akros, che ha curato il collocamento, ha respinto le accuse, difendendo la correttezza della procedura e negando esclusioni di investitori. Ne parliamo con Alberto Grassani, Il Sole 24 OreDall'escalation in Iran all'annuncio della tregua: la mano invisibile della CinaIn 48 ore, il conflitto tra Iran, Israele e Stati Uniti è passato da un attacco militare a una tregua instabile. USA e Israele hanno colpito i siti nucleari iraniani di Fordow e Natanz, spingendo Teheran a rispondere con missili contro la base americana di Al Udeid. A sorpresa, Trump ha annunciato una tregua mediata dal Qatar, ma con un ruolo chiave, secondo Plateroti, della Cina. Pechino avrebbe favorito l'intesa per tutelare i suoi interessi energetici. Tuttavia, il cessate il fuoco è già stato violato: l'Iran ha lanciato missili su Beersheba, provocando 4 morti civili, e Israele ha risposto bombardando anche il carcere di Evin a Teheran. Le parti si accusano reciprocamente di aver infranto l'accordo. La situazione a Gaza resta drammatica, con 29 civili uccisi, 19 vicino all'ospedale Al-Awda. La crisi ha scosso i mercati energetici: il Brent è sceso del 3%, il TTF europeo è salito a 42,44 euro/MWh. Gli operatori temono un blocco dello Stretto di Hormuz, da cui passa circa un terzo del greggio mondiale e il 20% del GNL. Andiamo dietro la notizia con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore Newsmondo.ANCE: "Tanti problemi strutturali ma sul PNRR siamo più avanti di come sembra"All'assemblea ANCE di Roma si è parlato di ritardi strutturali e del “tempo giusto” per agire. Quattro i temi chiave: rigenerazione urbana, infrastrutture resilienti, rivoluzione digitale e formazione. Allarme sul disagio abitativo: il 66% dei giovani vive ancora con i genitori, 21.000 sono emigrati nel 2023. Le città universitarie offrono pochi alloggi: Roma copre solo il 18% del fabbisogno. La spesa PNRR è al 34%, ma il 60% dei cantieri è attivo o concluso. La riforma ha ridotto i tempi delle gare, ma permangono ritardi di programmazione. Il modello ferroviario è virtuoso (72% rete elettrificata), ma quello stradale è stato compromesso dai tagli ai fondi ANAS. I Comuni hanno raddoppiato gli investimenti pubblici dal 2018. Sul fronte abitativo, ANCE chiede un piano nazionale con almeno 15 miliardi su 10 anni e un'unica cabina di regia. Gli eventi climatici richiedono infrastrutture adeguate: Palermo riceve più pioggia di Londra, il Sud rischia la desertificazione. Le imprese attendono 3 miliardi di ristori dal 2022 per il caro materiali, e i pagamenti pubblici restano in media oltre i 5 mesi. Interviene Federica Brancaccio, presidente ANCE.

Gli Stati Uniti hanno davvero distrutto il programma nucleare iraniano o si stanno preparando a qualcosa di più grosso?

Se ti è piaciuto questo podcast ascolta anche 'Il cielo sopra Ustica", la mia nuova serie. La sera del 27 giugno 1980 un DC-9 della compagnia Itavia, partito da Bologna, sta volando verso Palermo con 81 persone a bordo. È in ritardo di due ore, ma l'atmosfera in cabina è serena, hostess e steward distribuiscono caramelle gommose contro il mal d'aria, pilota e copilota conversano fra loro e comunicano costantemente con i centri radar. Alle 21.04, quando il radarista della torre di controllo di Ciampino chiama l'aereo per autorizzare l'atterraggio, non ottiene nessuna risposta. Qualche ora dopo, i primi corpi riaffioreranno dalle acque del Tirreno. Cos'è stato a provocare la caduta dell'aereo? Cos'è successo in quei minuti e poi nei quarantacinque anni successivi? Per capirlo abbiamo parlato con i familiari delle vittime, soccorritori, piloti, medici, radaristi, periti, ufficiali dell'aeronautica, storici e giornalisti. 'Il cielo sopra Ustica' racconta, in sette puntate, l'ultimo viaggio delle vittime, le speranze, le indagini, le ipotesi, i depistaggi, la tenacia dei familiari e l'incredibile avventura del recupero del relitto a oltre 3500 metri di profondità.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Il legame tra la lotteria e il lottery mining è ormai un cliché: ma facciamo due conti e scopriamo quale sia il reale rapporto tra le diverse probabilità di successo quando tentiamo la fortuna in queste due modalità diverse. Inoltre: grande successo per il PlanBolo, una lettera riaccende il dibattito sui covenant, in Francia si pensa al mining per monetizzare la produzione di corrente in esubero, e il gestore elettrico spagnolo conferma che è stato un sovraccarico alla rete a causare il blackout del secolo.It's showtime!

Die Wiener Jüdin Lucy von Jacobi, Jahrgang 1887, war ursprünglich Schauspielerin, und als solche stellt sie der Hamburger Anzeiger vom 15. Juni 1925 auch noch vor. Bereits während der Jahre des Ersten Weltkriegs nach dem Tod von Sohn und Mann hatte sie sich jedoch überwiegend auf das Schreiben verlegt und avancierte während der Jahre der Weimarer Republik zu einer gefragten Reporterin, Reiseautorin und Filmkritikerin in Zeitungswesen und Rundfunk. Ab 1928 arbeitete sie als Redakteurin für die angesagte Berlin Abendzeitung Tempo, bevor sie 1933 ins Exil gehen musste – zunächst über Prag nach Florenz, wo sie kurzzeitig eine Pension führte, schließlich nach Cureglia im Tessin, wo sie Krieg und Nazi-Herrschaft überlebte. Noch ganz freiwillig auch schon nach Italien gezogen hatte es von Jacobi auch im Frühjahr 25, von wo sie einen sizilianischen Reisebericht in den hohen hanseatischen Norden schickte. Ob auf die südliche Sonne bei diesem Trip Verlass war, weiß Rosa Leu.

Lucas padecía esquizofrenia, sufrió una crisis y su familia, como en ocasiones anteriores, llamó a la Policía para que ayudara a contenerlo. Pero ese día todo salió mal, un efectivo le disparó y el joven falleció allí, en su casa, en Durazno. Franco, en tanto, había ido muchas veces a buscar ayuda al Hospital Vilardebó. Tenía patologías psiquiátricas y problemas familiares de violencia y de consumo de drogas. Ese día, fue al Hospital de Clínicas, lo atendieron, le iban a dar el alta, se descontroló y un policía le disparó. Murió minutos después. Dos casos trágicos, que salieron a la luz pública en las últimas semanas y que abrieron el debate una vez más. ¿Cómo se debe actuar ante una crisis psiquiátrica? ¿A qué tipo de ayudas puede acudir una familia en estas situaciones? ¿Con qué preparación cuenta la Policía para proceder ante un problema de este tipo? ¿Y los médicos que no son siquiatras? Y más de fondo: ¿Cómo integra la sociedad a las personas que sufren patologías psiquiátricas? Analizamos En Perspectiva esta realidad con dos personas que viven muy de cerca estos temas y que pueden dar fe de lo difícil que resulta enfrentarlos. Hilde Hansz, integrante de Asociación de Familiares del Centro Psicosocial Sur Palermo y de la Comisión para la plena implementación de la ley de salud mental. Mamá, además, de una joven que padece esquizofrenia.

Antonio Locicero"Cubana"Edizioni Clichyhttps://edizioniclichy.it/libro/cubana/La città dei lettoriSabato 7 giugno 2025, ore 19:30Antonio Locicero con Gabriele Ametrano"Cubana" Edizioni Clichyhttps://www.lacittadeilettori.it/Cubana è un viaggio per immagini nell'anima di Cuba, tra luci e ombre, colori vibranti e favolosa decadenza. Un percorso visivo tra strade, volti, suoni e atmosfere che raccontano l'isola, lasciando spazio a suggestioni, emozioni e riflessioni. Un viaggio nel cuore pulsante di un popolo e del suo ambiente, inscindibili come la musica e la danza che ne scandiscono il tempo quotidiano.Con i contributi di Danilo Venturi, direttore dello IED di Milano e di Erick González Bello, direttore del Museo de las Parrandas, patrimonio dell'UnescoCubana è un viaggio visivo ed emozionale attraverso un parte della Grande Isola de Cuba, un racconto fatto di immagini che catturano e esplorano i contrasti vibranti dell'isola: la brillante eterogeneità delle città e dei paesi, i colori intensi e i toni decadenti, le voci e i suoni che animano le strade. Attraverso la lente dell'autore, emergono l'anima dei luoghi e l'intensità delle persone che li abitano, raccontando un equilibrio indissolubile tra Ambiente e Abitanti. Organizzato in quattro capitoli alternati – due dedicati all'Ambiente e due agli Abitanti – il libro evita una narrazione lineare per immergere il lettore in una visione d'insieme. Ogni scatto è un invito a perdersi nella danza della luce, nei dettagli delle architetture, nei gesti e negli sguardi delle persone incontrate lungo il cammino. È un viaggio senza coordinate precise, dove non importa il «dove» ma il «come» e il «perché» delle emozioni che ogni immagine suscita. Ogni immagine è un frammento di vita che racconta storie di quotidianità, portando il lettore a riflettere sul valore della diversità e sull'unicità di questa isola enigmatica. Più che un libro, Cubana è un ponte tra chi osserva e chi vive, tra chi scatta e chi è ritratto. Un'opera che celebra la musica, la danza e la cultura cubana, che pervade ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana. È un'ode a Cuba e alla sua gente, una testimonianza visiva che sa emozionare e sorprendere, restituendo la vibrante intensità di un eterno presente.Antonio Locicero è un graphic designer nato a Palermo nel 1991. Ha iniziato la sua carriera nel 2013 e dopo aver completato il corso triennale in Graphic Design presso l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo si è specializzato in grafica per l'editoria presso lo IED di Firenze.

PŘIDEJTE SE DO KOMUNITY STUDIA N NA HEROHERO.CO/STUDION A PODÍVEJTE SE NA PLNÉ VERZE VŠECH EPIZOD Postavy, které figurují v bitcoinové kauze Pavla Blažka, spojuje město Brno. „Vznikla tu a dodnes funguje rozsáhlá síť právníků, notářů, politiků a podnikatelů, kteří jsou si navzájem loajální a něco si dluží. V určitou chvíli vám ale přestane stačit městský rozpočet. To, co si dovolili v Brně, jen přenesli o stupeň výš na celostátní úroveň,“ vysvětluje brněnská reportérka Deníku N Jana Ustohalová, jak se řada místních vlivných lidí dostává do vysoké politiky. Jméno Pavla Blažka znají v Brně všichni. „Od začátku mojí novinářské kariéry tu vystupoval v různých kauzách, neustále jsem na něj narážela,“ říká ve Studiu N Ustohalová. „Když tu člověk mapuje propojení lokálního podsvětí, právnických kruhů a politických zájmů, vždycky v tom hraje ústřední roli Pavel Blažek – ať už zjevně, nebo někde v pozadí,“ tvrdí. Řada lidí by podle ní bez Blažka nevystoupala tak vysoko. „Petr Fiala by bez něj nebyl ani předsedou ODS, ani premiérem. Byl to on, kdo mu vyjednal podporu napříč celou stranou. Blažek je velmi schopný a sociálně inteligentní vyjednavač. On dokázal vyjednat i věci, které by jinému politikovi nikdy neprošly a kvůli kterým by musel odejít,“ říká. Redaktor Deníku N Tobiáš Pospíchal v podcastu rozplétá vazby Pavla Blažka na další brněnské postavy bitcoinové aféry: právníka Kárima Titze, exnáměstka Radomíra Daňhela nebo notáře Lubomíra Miku. „Všechny hlavní postavy kromě pana Jiřikovského, který bitcoiny daroval, jsou z Brna. Všichni jsou to velmi dobří známí, spolupracovníci nebo spolužáci Pavla Blažka, který si je přivedl s sebou do Prahy,“ říká. „Blažek učil roky na brněnské právnické fakultě,“ připomíná ve Studiu N Ustohalová. „A vypadá to, jako kdyby si tam vybíral kolegy a spolehlivé spolupracovníky – v podstatě si je vychovával a navazoval kontakty. Obklopuje se jen loajálními lidmi, na které se může spolehnout.“ Kdo je komu zavázaný? Kteří vlivní lidé by bez Blažka neudělali kariéru? Kde se vzala přezdívka Don Pablo? A proč je takzvané brněnské Palermo líhní problematických postav politického dění? Podívejte se na celou epizodu, kterou jsme tentokrát natáčeli v Brně.

Domenico Wanderlingh"L'ultima estate a Villa Domus"Un nuovo caso per Anita LandiGuanda Editorewww.guanda.itUna mattina di dicembre, in una radura al Parco Regionale della Maremma, il cadavere di un uomo con le gambe mezze sepolte nella terra viene rinvenuto vicino a un albero crollato. Sono state le radici che, smuovendola terra durante la caduta, lo hanno dissotterrato. Il corpo pare essere lì da qualche tempo. A occuparsi dell'indagine è la neopromossa commissaria Anita Landi, che da poco si è trasferita a Talamone insieme alla figlia Alice. Lo stesso giorno, l'avvocato Francesco Gazzola, caro amico di Anita, viene convocato da una delle più influenti industriali italiane, Costanza Bernardini. La donna lo incarica di rivedere le carte processuali sull'omicidio della figlia dodicenne Arianna, avvenuto nel settembre del 2000 durante una festa di compleanno a Villa Domus, la residenza di famiglia all'Isola del Giglio. Per il delitto era stato condannato un amico del figlio maggiore, che però si è sempre dichiarato innocente. Ventidue anni dopo, prima di morire in carcere invia una lettera a ciascuno dei presenti in quel tragico fine settimana, in cui proclama ancora la sua innocenza e suggerisce che il nome del vero assassino sia scritto tra le pagine del diario di Arianna, diario che non è mai stato recuperato. Per Costanza Bernardini qualcosa non torna, e ora una delle persone presenti quella sera sembra scomparsa... L'inchiesta di Anita finirà per intrecciarsi con quella di Francesco e i due dovranno vedersela con l'ostilità e la reticenza dei testimoni dell'epoca. Nessuno vuole smuovere le acque, tutti vogliono dimenticare e alcuni sono disposti a qualunque cosa per cancellare ogni traccia.Domenico Wanderlingh è nato a Palermo ma vive tra Milano e Città di Castello. Dopo aver autopubblicato due romanzi e un'antologia di racconti molto apprezzati in rete, ha esordito in libreria con la serie dedicata alle indagini dell'ispettrice Anita Landi. Il primo caso, Il passato non si cancella, e il secondo, È colpa mia, sono stati riproposti in TEA, mentre per Guanda è uscito il romanzo L'enigma della carta Varese (Premio letterario Franco Fedeli).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Ilaria Bonacossa"Meriggiare pallido e assorto"Eugenio Montale: 100 immagini per i 100 anni di Ossi di Seppia.Palazzo Ducale, Genova - fino al 29 giugno 2025https://palazzoducale.genova.it/mostra/2025-meriggiare-pallido-e-assorto/Mostra a cura di Ilaria Bonacossa  e Paolo Verri con Michela Murialdo.Una co-produzione a cura di Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori, Palazzo Ducale di Genova ed Electa.Realizzata grazie al contributo concesso mediante l'Avviso pubblico Strategia Fotografia promosso dalla Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero della Cultura.Catalogo: ElectaA 100 anni dalla prima pubblicazione di Ossi di seppia, la Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori in collaborazione con la Fondazione Palazzo Ducale di Genova organizza la mostra Meriggiare pallido e assorto. Eugenio Montale: 100 immagini per i 100 anni di Ossi di Seppia. Fotografie di Iole Carollo, Anna Positano, Delfino Sisto Legnani. Ossi di seppia è uno dei testi poetici che hanno segnato l'intero Novecento non solo italiano, ridefinendo il ruolo della poesia nei confronti della realtà, nei confronti della quale, come scrive Gianfranco Contini, Montale non ha nessuna certezza.Qualcosa del genere sta accadendo oggi alle immagini, allo status stesso del vedere: se ne discuterà insieme a tre giovani talenti della fotografia italiana – Iole Carollo, Anna Positano e Delfino Sisto Legnani – che, prendendo spunto dal capolavoro montaliano, realizzeranno 99 scatti originali che verranno offerti al pubblico di Palazzo Ducale di Genova. Le fotografie saranno la parte principale di una mostra che includerà anche edizioni originali (messe a disposizione da Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori e da Beppe Manzitti, collezionista di Edizioni Originali di Letteratura italiana del Novecento), appunti, diari, fotografie d'epoca che tracceranno il percorso poetico che dalla prima edizione degli Ossi porta al 1975, anno in cui a Montale viene attribuito il Premio Nobel per la letteratura.L'evento del Nobel avrà un concreto approfondimento grazie alla documentazione di Epoca e alle foto originali di Domenico Porzio che accompagnò alla proclamazione il poeta genovese.In occasione della mostra si svolgerà un “public program” molto intenso, condiviso con l'Università di Genova e con il Comune di Genova, che avvieranno nell'occasione un percorso di visita en plein air dei luoghi montaliani.La mostra sarà a ingresso gratuito ed è realizzata grazie al contributo concesso mediante l'Avviso pubblico Strategia Fotografia promosso dalla Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero della Cultura. ll catalogo sarà a cura di Electa.Iole Carollo (1977) è una fotografa e ricercatrice indipendente con una formazione in archeologia, con una laurea in Conservazione dei Beni Culturali e una specializzazione in Archeologia Minoica e Micenea. La sua pratica fotografica esplora l'incontro tra antico e contemporaneo, con un'attenzione particolare alla rappresentazione della storia umana attraverso l'arte e l'archeologia. Collabora con istituzioni pubbliche e private e con artisti contemporanei, realizzando campagne fotografiche, cataloghi d'arte e pubblicazioni scientifiche nel campo archeologico e artistico. I suoi interessi abbracciano l'esoeditoria, i processi comunitari e la forma archivio. Nel 2021 è stata selezionata dall'ICCD per documentare il patrimonio culturale del Sud Italia nel progetto PON Itinerari Digitali. È stata anche invitata come fotografa/artista nel 2022 per il progetto europeo FitForThem, all'interno del Workshop CreaLab organizzato dalle università di Valencia, Palermo e Opole, dove ha condiviso la propria riflessione sulla migrazione. Le sue fotografie sono state pubblicate in riviste come Il Venerdì de La Repubblica, Il Giornale dell'Arte, Il Corriere della Sera, Artribune, Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa e sono presenti in collezioni private e istituzionali, tra cui il Polo Regionale di Palermo per i Parchi e i Musei Archeologici, Museo Antonino Salinas. Co-fondatrice di Église, associazione culturale che promuove la cultura visiva, è inoltre parte del festival Zines Palermo dal 2019.Anna Positano è una fotografa e ricercatrice indipendente con una formazione in architettura. Il suo lavoro si concentra sui paesaggi alterati dall'uomo da una prospettiva materialista ed esplora l'anti-capitalismo, le teorie postcoloniali e l'ecologia. Oltre alla sua attività di ricerca, lavora su commissione per architetti, riviste e istituzioni. È socia fondatrice dello Studio Campo.Delfino Sisto Legnani, dopo essersi laureato in Architettura, ha iniziato a lavorare come fotografo freelance per le più importanti riviste e giornali indipendenti e istituzionali. Grazie al suo originale punto di vista e ad un approccio progettuale all'obiettivo fotografico, con i suoi colleghi di DSL Studio sono diventanti un punto di riferimento internazionale per la fotografia di architettura e design. In alternanza tra reportage, fotografia di architettura e still life, i suoi progetti personali sono stati premiati ed esposti in musei e istituzioni come la Biennale di Venezia, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Triennale di Milano, Chicago Architecture Biennale, Manifesta 12, MAXXI, nonché in numerose gallerie e mostre"Meriggiare pallido e assorto"Electa www.electa.itIl volume Electa accompagna la mostra Meriggiare pallido e assorto. Eugenio Montale: 100 immagini per i 100 anni di Ossi di seppia (13 maggio - 29 giugno 2025) organizzata da Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori, Palazzo Ducale Fondazione per la Cultura ed Electa, promossa da Regione Liguria e Comune di Genova. Il progetto è sostenuto da Strategia Fotografia 2024, promosso dalla Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero della Cultura in occasione del centenario della raccolta di Eugenio Montale. A partire dalle sue poesie, tre fotografi hanno accettato la sfida di ‘dialogare' con il poeta ligure, puntando l'obiettivo sui suoi luoghi, reali e lirici. Come anche Ugo Mulas fece quando nell'estate 1962 realizzò una serie di scatti di paesaggio, confrontandosi con Ossi di Seppia.Iole Carollo, Anna Positano, Delfino Sisto Legnani hanno dato una rilettura visiva delle poesie di Montale con tre proposte divergenti per linguaggi, approcci e sensibilità che ha determinato una meditazione fotografica che si muove tra fedeltà e interpretazione, attualità e memoria, paesaggi reali e interiori. Il libro e la mostra puntano così ad approfondire il rapporto tra poesia e immagine, parola e visione; a riflettere sull'ispirazione reciproca delle due ‘arti' e al contempo sulla loro autonomia sollevando questioni radicate ma attuali attorno concetti di ‘descrizione, ‘interpretazione', ‘illustrazione' nel confronto tra verbale e visivo.I saggi critici in catalogo di Marcello Ciccuto e Elio Grazioli delineano inoltre lo sguardo montaliano, col suo rapporto problematico con la fotografia ma anche le risonanze tra poesia e paesaggio: se da un lato Montale diffidava della fotografia intesa come mera riproduzione, dall'altro i suoi componimenti sono attraversati da immagini potenti, sintetiche, essenziali; un'estetica che oggi trova nuovi interlocutori nello sguardo dei tre fotografi.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Join me, Kim, and Erin for a discussion on what they prioritize with future sports dogs, why there's always something they'd do differently "next time," and how they're tackling things right now. 

On this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we have an interesting one- in fact, it's been one that I've been curious about for some time. How do chefs get their knives sharpened? Do they send them off one-by-one? Do they do them themselves? We caught up with a local mobile knife sharpener to get the answers. We talk to Tyler Eck of Honed-In Sharpening. But before we do that?!?! FOOD NEWS!! Last week, the downtown Springdale Street Dinner picked their chef, and he's set the menu. We'll hear from Bienvenue's William Mauk. The Park House Kitchen and Bar took on serious roof damage in last week's storms. They're having a Raise the Roof party – we have the details! There's a new Italian restaurant in east Springdale. We'll tell you about Palermo's. We tell you about the cohorts that won Cureate grants this year The Market Center of the Ozarks opens this week! It's the week of the Bentonville BBQ Fest. You won't believe how many competitors are coming to this event! A new softserve/coffee trailer has opened at the 8th Street Market Happy Anniversary today to Meiji! Tyler Eck kind of fell into sharpening knives... it wasn't what he originally wanted to do, but he was hoping that this would get him in the door to doing what he had originally wanted... Little did he know that sharpening is what he'd fall in love with. He sharpens more than knives- if it's got a sharp edge, chances are he can sharpen it. He'll tell us the list of what he sharpens... so far. And yes, you don't have to be a professional chef or stylist to get you blades sharpened by Tyler, as he sharpened a few things for me... quickly. In fact, he does it during the interview. We talk with Tyler Eck of Honed In Sharpening, next, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.

After 2 months, 8 cities, and 3 bottles of wine… the Sicily episode is finally here—take two. And this time, the mic was actually turned on.

Der italienische Regisseur Francesco Micheli hatte sich vorgenommen, die beiden Einakter "Cavalleria rusticana" und "Pagliacci" als Kommentar zur europäischen Migrationsgeschichte zwischen Palermo und München zu inszenieren. Doch dieser Anspruch erwies sich als zu ambitioniert. Der Beifall an der Bayerischen Staatsoper blieb höflich - trotz Startenor Jonas Kaufmann als "Bajazzo".

Episode Summary: In a justice system often obsessed with risk scores and compliance checklists, what happens when we stop and ask a deeper question: How have you survived? In this powerful episode, Joseph Arvidson sits down with Dr. Charlie Barnao, sociologist, ethnographer, and professor at the University of Palermo, to explore the hidden strength behind the stories of justice-involved individuals. Dr. Barnao spent 15 years living in a halfway house—not observing from the outside, but embedded in the day-to-day realities of those navigating the margins. His work on the Sociology of Survival offers a critical lens for probation, parole, and correctional professionals who want to truly understand resilience, identity, and change. Together, they dive into: What survival looks like in environments of exclusion and stigma How resilience and identity are built—and rebuilt—through supervision Why qualitative insights (real stories) matter as much as data points How the wrong labels can blur the professional lens—and harm outcomes Direct ties to the TIDES Supervision Model pillars of Resiliency, Identity, and Social Support This episode challenges listeners to see beyond behavior—to recognize survival as strength, and to partner with that strength to create real, lasting change. Whether you're a probation officer, trainer, policymaker, or simply passionate about justice transformation—this conversation will reframe how you think about your work. Guest Bio: Dr. Charlie Barnao is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Palermo (Italy), a scholar in cultural and communicative processes, and an ethnographer dedicated to exploring social marginality, survival, and resilience.

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.

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.

Le locuzioni latine a priori e a posteriori, che tradotte letteralmente, significano "da ciò che è prima" e "da ciò che viene dopo", sono riscontrabili nella forma latina per la prima volta nei commentatori di Aristotele ad indicare una conoscenza che proviene da ciò che già è prima (deduzione) diversa dal sapere che si raggiunge dopo aver fatto esperienza (induzione). A priori in filosofia è un concetto che si riferisce a tutto ciò che si può conoscere indipendentemente dall'esperienza ed è quindi opposto a a posteriori, che indica una conoscenza fondata su dati sensibili desunti dall'esperienza[1]. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apriorieaposteriori Continuiamo il giro?

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.
