L'apertura dei giornali, con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti, tutto in meno di 30 minuti. La Lega sta cercando di rimandare il divieto di circolazione delle auto diesel di classe Euro 5 che dal prossimo ottobre dovrebbe essere imposto in quattro regioni: Lombardia, Veneto, Piemonte ed Emilia-Romagna. Eppure è stato proprio il governo Meloni ad approvare il divieto nel settembre del 2023. Quante auto coinvolge e quanto inquinano effettivamente? Lo chiediamo a Francesco Ramella, direttore esecutivo di Bridges Research e docente di trasporti all'università di Torino.

Per anni si è pensato che le mafie fossero un fenomeno limitato al Sud Italia. Ma nel giugno del 1993, un blitz delle forze dell'ordine cambia tutto: si tratta dell'Operazione Betulla. Oltre 200 agenti arrestano 40 persone tra Piemonte, Lombardia e Calabria, portando alla luce una rete criminale della 'ndrangheta insediata nel cuore della Val d'Ossola. Una storia rimossa, caduta troppo presto nel silenzio, che ancora oggi solleva domande inquietanti. L'inchiesta svela una fitta rete di estorsioni, appalti pilotati, legami tra clan calabresi e imprenditori locali, con ramificazioni fino alle istituzioni. È la prima volta che una città del Nord rischia lo scioglimento per infiltrazioni mafiose. Eppure, l'opinione pubblica fatica ancora a riconoscere la presenza della criminalità organizzata al di fuori del Mezzogiorno. Ma quanto è profonda oggi la penetrazione della 'ndrangheta nei territori settentrionali? Proviamo a scoprirlo insieme ad Arianna Giannini-Tomà, giornalista investigativa e autrice del podcast “Operazione Betulla”. Iscriviti al gruppo Telegram per interagire con noi e per non perderti nessuna delle novità in anteprima e degli approfondimenti sulle puntate: https://t.me/LucePodcast Se vuoi ascoltarci senza filtri e sostenere il nostro lavoro, da oggi è possibile abbonarsi al nostro canale Patreon e accedere a contenuti bonus esclusivi tramite questo link: patreon.com/LucePodcast

Investing in wine might seem risky. Might seem like a horizon uncrossed. There is growing success rate in wine investments and it takes a trained and experience broker/agent to know where and when. Marc Lefleur might be the only man who can make a conversation about asset classes as delicious as a glass of aged Barolo. In this episode, you'll travel from the sun-dappled slopes of Piemonte to the bustling banking circles of Geneva, all while unraveling the mysteries of wine investment with someone fluent in four languages and even more terroirs. You'll learn why not every cellar-worthy wine turns to gold, and why the idea that you can just “buy pallets of wine and hope that in ten years you'll sell them at a better price” is more myth than market truth. Marc demystifies the romantic shroud of Bordeaux, reveals the artisanal heart still beating in the hills of Barolo, and exposes how climate change is tipping the scales for Nebbiolo in ways that might surprise even the savviest collector. You'll come away with an insider's view of how global forces, tradition, and innovation intersect in the collectible wine market—and why terms like “scarcity” and “terroir” aren't just marketing buzzwords, but real factors with measurable impact on the future value of your cellar. Whether you're a collector flirting with investment-grade bottles or a curious sipper wondering what makes wine an “intellectual part of the meal,” this conversation will give you the tools to separate perception from reality, and help you rethink what it means for a wine—and its drinker—to stand the test of time. Wine Investment: Reality vs. Misconception Not all wines appreciate over time: The idea you can buy any wine, store it, and expect profits is false—most wines won't increase in value after 10 years. Investment-grade wines are rare: Only a very small percentage of wines are worth considering as investments; quality, pedigree, and rarity matter most. Speculation vs. investing: Speculation is chasing quick financial gains, while true wine investment is a long-term horizon (10–20+ years). Cycles and market timing: The wine market, like any other, is cyclical; there are favorable and less favorable periods for investment. The Importance of Rarity & Scarcity Perceived vs. actual scarcity: Even top Bordeaux first growths, like Mouton Rothschild or Margaux, produce large quantities (hundreds of thousands of bottles)—they're not as rare as people often think. Burgundy & Piedmont (Piemonte) are where true scarcity lives: Top Burgundy and Barolo/Barbaresco producers may release just a few barrels (sometimes less than 5,000 bottles) from single sites. Demand for top wines is shaped by volume, pedigree, and market cycles.   #WineInvesting #FineWine #WineCollection #WineTalksPodcast #MarcLefleur #BordeauxWine #PiedmontWines #WineEducation

Il 24 maggio si celebra nella Chiesa la festa liturgica di Maria Ausiliatrice, «Auxilium Christianorum».  Questa invocazione a Maria fu introdotta nelle Litanie Lauretane dal Papa san Pio V, per commemorare la vittoria contro i Turchi a Lepanto, il 7 ottobre 1571. La festa liturgica di Maria Ausiliatrice fu istituita da Pio VII, il 15 settembre 1815. come ringraziamento per il suo ritorno a Roma, dopo essere stato imprigionato per cinque anni da Napoleone. Il 16 agosto di quello stesso anno 1815 nasceva a Castelnuovo, in Piemonte, san Giovanni Bosco, che fu il più grande devoto e propagatore del culto a Maria Ausiliatrice.

Ha rivoluzionato la scienza con la sua legge sui gas. Ma il chimico piemontese Amedeo Avogadro fu molto di più dello scopritore della costante universale che oggi porta il suo nome. Come giurista e scienziato "sperimentale", ebbe un ruolo chiave nella valutazione di privilegi e brevetti nel Piemonte preunitario; come inventore, fu preziosissimo nel campo dell'elettricità. Questo episodio racconta la storia di un genio poliedrico.

Per ventun anni, dal cuore della Praga socialista, una voce italiana attraversò le frontiere e l'etere.Si chiamava Oggi in Italia e trasmetteva ogni giorno notizie, musica, racconti, analisi e propaganda antidemocristiana. Parlava a milioni di ascoltatori, dal Piemonte alla Sicilia, ma ufficialmente non è mai esistita.Era la radio segreta del Partito Comunista Italiano, nata nel 1950 per controbattere le «menzogne di Radio Roma», cioè della Rai, e sfidare apertamente il monopolio radiotelevisivo pubblico.Dietro i microfoni, donne e uomini italiani — ex partigiani, militanti, latitanti politici — che raggiunsero la Cecoslovacchia sotto falso nome e vissero da esuli, per molto tempo impossibilitati a tornare in patria.Oggi, di questa radio fuorilegge, non resta quasi nulla: qualche frammento in libri poco noti, un romanzo di Giuseppe Fiori: “Uomini ex”, un documentario mai trasmesso, una serie radiofonica di Radio Tre del 1999, pochi articoli accademici.Radio Oggi in Italia è stata una voce rimossa dalla memoria collettiva, la sua storia merita di essere ascoltata di nuovo.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quelli che portano a Pasqua sono giorni caratterizzati da un marcato maltempo su parte dell'Italia, in particolare sul Nord-Ovest e sui settori occidentali, con precipitazioni persistenti e abbondanti. La situazione più delicata è in Piemonte dove ieri sono state evacuate 190 persone. Ne parliamo con Francescantonio De Giglio, Responsabile Protezione Civile Piemonte.

"It's about the treasure beneath our feet, it's about the land..." - Bailey AlexanderWelcome to Episode #108:Bailey Alexander lived in the region of Piemonte Italy in the small village of Loazzolo for seven years with her husband Francis. Over time the place, the land, the people, the traditions, the lifestyle, and the wonderful campilismo began to shape her life in new and creative ways. After many years circumnavigating the globe, this time living in Piemonte searching for the “authentic life” ignited a curiosity that led Bailey to go on a journey of sorts, a personal pilgrimage to understand more. Bailey had so many questions and soon this curiosity became a collection of stories that evolved into her second book - ‘Personal Legends of Piemonte'.Bailey and I discuss the many life lessons and the beautiful meandering journey of this time in her life to later come out the other side with a book that shares these intimate and magical stories of twelve Piemontese. This is a grand conversation and one that illuminates the many cycles in life, the power of change and the resiliency we discover when we follow the call to live authentically and with grace.Personal Legends of Piemonte by Bailey AlexanderInstagram: Bailey AlexanderFind all Shownotes at  michellejohnston.lifeBuy my new book:  In the Shadow of a Cypress - An Italian Adventure Book Link for my MichelleJohnston.life© 2025  A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2025Support the show

C'è un monte, a una quindicina di chilometri da Torino, dove la vegetazione attecchisce solo fino a una certa altezza, dopodiché si estende una fascia totalmente brulla. Per motivi che nessuno riuscirebbe a spiegare, le pianticelle muoiono prima di riuscire a crescere. C'è chi sostiene che la causa di questo mistero vada ricercata all'interno della montagna, ritenuta un antico vulcano, da cui si sprigionerebbe un'inspiegabile radioattività. La causa? Una base segreta extraterrestre. O almeno questo è quanto sostengono alcune guide di cultori del mistero dedicate al Musiné, montagna di forma vagamente piramidale e alta 1.150 metri, che sorge lungo la strada che conduce verso la Val di Susa.

Michele Paolino"Il profeta del lungo termine"Edizioni Capricornowww.edizionidelcapricorno.itIn una mattina nebbiosa nelle campagne del torinese, un piccolo aeroplano da turismo precipita con a bordo un prezioso carico. “Dentro al velivolo, che ricordava un insetto morente, oltre a una gran puzza di carburante, al ronzio scoppiettante emesso dalle strumentazioni elettriche di bordo ormai fuori uso e, sconfitti e ciondolanti, ai due corpi appesi, c'era un ammasso confuso e capovolto di borsoni, almeno una decina, e di imballaggi divelti, dietro ai quali spuntava il volto sensuale e implorante di una donna cinquecentesca raffigurata su una tela”.Inizia così il nuovo romanzo giallo di Michele Paolino, una storia nera che si snoda nelle vie austere e magnifiche di una Torino specchiata nella memoria e nel rimpianto, dove ritroviamo Serena Valente, luogotenente del Nucleo Tutela Patrimonio Culturale dei Carabinieri, impegnata in un'indagine che parte da due dipinti scandalosi e una serie di tavole inquietanti.In una città affascinante e smarrita, orfana di un re e di una corte, ma assediata dai cortigiani, imperversano un faccendiere complottista con la passione per l'arte erotica, un elegante e spregiudicato avvocato presenzialista ed un imprenditore nerd con la fissa per il lungoterminismo. «Ci stiamo comprando Torino, stiamo costruendo, mattone su mattone, la nostra fortezza. Solida, quanto la nostra unione. Da qui inizia la conquista di tutto e tutti: persone, istituzioni, tempo, risorse, spazio».Tra un contadino innamorato del suo trattore, un emù in fuga, un pittore che vive a Mougins, in Costa Azzurra, una seducente gallerista, un vice commissario di Polizia e un sostituto procuratore in preda a tic nervosi, fuoristrada e cadaveri che scompaiono, mogli in secondo piano, intrighi internazionali ed eventi mondani, la storia della città incombe come una cicatrice con i suoi misteri e le sue vestigia.Il volume fa parte della collana “Piemonte in Noir”. Michele PaolinoNato nel 1966 a Torino, laureato in Scienze politiche, giornalista, si occupa di comunicazione e social media. Per Edizioni del Capricorno ha pubblicato i fortunati noir La ballata di Borgo San Paolo (2019), Hanno ucciso Babbo Natale in Borgo San Paolo (2021), Il giorno prima del voto (2022, con Sergio Chiamparino) e La versione del professore (2023).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Henry Jeffreys, award-winning wine writer, journalist, co-host of the podcast Intoxicating History, and author of the book "Vines in a Cold Climate". Among many exciting topics, we explore Britain's sparkling wine scene, discuss whether British wines justify their price compared to Champagne, examine the financial realities facing British winemakers, and dive into wine writing, criticism, and the ongoing battle against wine snobbery.You can also listen to the No Sediment Wine Podcast episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts and Castbox.Some of the WINE ACCESSORIES I use regularly:

Laura Garino"Garofano rosso"Storia di un anarchico torineseNeos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.it“Nonno non mancava mai al corteo del Primo Maggio, sempre con un garofano rosso all'occhiello. Il suo fiore preferito”: Laura, la nipote di Maurizio Garino, ripercorre tutte le tappe della vita del nonno, esponente dell'anarchismo torinese e protagonista del movimento operaio, Un ritratto non solo politico ma anche familiare, che restituisce al contempo uno spaccato della storia italiana del Novecento.Maurizio Garino nasce il 1 novembre del 1892 a Ploanghe, piccolo paese in provincia di Sassari, ma giovanissimo segue il padre in Piemonte, trasferendosi con la famiglia a Torino.  Amico di Gramsci e di Pietro Ferrero (il sindacalista trucidato durante la strage del 18 dicembre del 1922), operaio, sindacalista, protagonista delle lotte operaie del biennio rosso e per questo perseguitato dal fascismo, anarchico ma anche rappresentante di quella “aristocrazia operaia torinese” fatta da uomini orgogliosi di quello che sapevano fare con le loro mani e consapevoli della forza delle loro idee.Così veniva descritto nel fascicolo del Casellario Politico Centrale n. 2290, in data 27 gennaio 1919: “alto metri 1,68, di corporatura esile, capelli folti, crespi e neri, viso bruno ovale, fronte alta, occhi neri, naso rettilineo, piccoli baffi lisci; andatura spigliata, una espressione fisionomica intelligente, un abbigliamento abituale elegante (…). È iscritto al partito anarchico in cui ha sempre militato: esercita tra i correligionari molta influenza. Fa propaganda dei principi anarchici con notevole profitto, in special modo fra la classe giovanile operaia. Dotato di naturale arte oratoria, tenne conferenze... Prende parte a tutte le manifestazioni sovversive”.Nel 1911 fondava con Pietro Ferrero il Circolo di Studi Sociali, cioè la Scuola Moderna, intitolata  al pedagogista anarchico Francisco Ferrer, singolare esempio di mutua educazione tra lavoratori auto-organizzato dal basso. Nella sede di Barriera di Milano si formarono alcuni dei leader sindacali torinesi più influenti (la Scuola continuò le sue attività fino al 1922, per poi riprendere dal ‘46 al '51).Controllato a vista dalla polizia, più volte arrestato e più volte licenziato (ben 15 volte tra il 1911 ed il 1917), protagonista delle occupazioni delle fabbriche nel 1920, Maurizio Garino era quello  che andava a esporre le questioni al senatur Agnelli.Non solo: Maurizio Garino fu anche imprenditore. Nel 1919 creava la Cooperativa Operai Modellisti, che nel 1926 diventa la SAMMA. I modellisti erano operai super specializzati, in grado di interpretare qualunque disegno tecnico. Alla SAMMA, di cui Garino fu presidente e direttore (la prima sede era in via Perevagno, quindi in via Leonardo da Vinci, infine a Rivoli), non ci si occupava solo di motori, ma lì vennero realizzati plastici degli edifici che costituirono il nucleo iniziale del Sestriere (le due torri e l'albergo Principi di Piemonte), e quello della Fiat Mirafiori inaugurata nel 1939.Morirà il 16 aprile del 1977, poche ore dopo aver pronunciato un ultimo accorato discorso  durante l'assemblea dei soci della SAMMA. Laura Garino è nata a Torino nel 1952, dopo la laurea in Scienze naturali, si è occupata di didattica delle scienze per enti e musei. Nel 2007 si è diplomata in Archivistica e Paleografia presso l'Archivio di Stato di Torino. Suo nonno Maurizio è stato esponente di spicco dell'anarchismo torinese, il padre Aldo fu partigiano in Val Pellice e nelle valli di Lanzo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Patrizia Monzeglio"La valigia di zia Elsa"Neos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.itLa Resistenza nel Monferrato, la tragedia degli ebrei di Casale e Moncalvo,le storie e i misteri famigliari nascosti dentro una valigia A quante persone succede di aprire una valigia e trovarsi catapultati nella Storia, quella con la S maiuscola?“La valigia di zia Elsa” è un romanzo ambientato in Piemonte, in un immaginario paese del Monferrato, che affronta il tema della Resistenza, mettendo in evidenza non solo ciò che ha significato quel momento storico per la generazione che l'ha vissuta ma anche ciò che rappresenta oggi per chi si deve rapportare con la “memoria”, composta di cose note, di quelle raccontate in famiglia, e delle parti che mancano e forse sono perdute per sempre, come per ogni passato.Un romanzo su come rapportarsi alla memoria della Resistenza e sulla nostra responsabilità di difenderla e mantenerla viva.Francesca, la protagonista del romanzo, è una scrittrice che trova nella valigia della zia, da poco defunta, vecchie foto e vecchie lettere risalenti alla gioventù della madre, documenti che raccontano storie famigliari a lei sconosciute, lati oscuri del passato dei suoi genitori e dei suoi parenti, mettendo in luce una realtà diversa da quella a lei nota. Come un vaso di Pandora, dalla valigia escono interrogativi scomodi, dubbi, misteri famigliari. Una foto in particolare, scattata il 5 settembre del 1943 davanti ad una casa di campagna, che ritrae due giovani uomini e due giovani donne. Turbata dalla scoperta, Francesca si mette sulle tracce della verità e, per trovare il giusto distacco e comprendere le proprie radici, intrecciate strettamente con la memoria storica della propria terra, racconta la sua ricerca in un romanzo.Con il ritmo di un mistery – ci sono misteri più coinvolgenti di quelli che toccano i nostri cari? ‒ il romanzo si snoda fra Casale, Torino e le colline del Monferrato, dove potrebbero esserci ancora dei testimoni delle vicende adombrate nelle carte riemerse, e, traendo spunto da fatti veri seppur rielaborati in forma romanzata, affronta temi importanti come il dramma dell'8 settembre, quando alcune famiglie videro i parenti schierati su fronti diversi, la tragedia degli ebrei di Moncalvo e Casale, la lotta partigiana nel Monferrato (la Banda Lenti, la banda Tom), le Brigate Nere e la Repubblica di Salò, il difficile ritorno alla normalità nel dopoguerra, il rischio di veder scomparire la memoria della Resistenza a distanza di 80 anni dalla fine della guerra.  Patrizia Monzeglio è nata a Vignale Monferrato, in provincia di Alessandria, nel 1957. Laureata in Economia, ha lavorato per un grande gruppo bancario, a livello manageriale. Nel 2017 ha conseguito una seconda laurea in Filosofia, con una tesi dal titolo Vita activa di Hanna Arendt, riflessioni sulla sua attualità. Per lavoro, ha vissuto a Bologna e a Milano; ora vive a Torino e trascorre il tempo libero nel Monferrato. In qualità di assessore di Vignale Monferrato è stata curatrice delle mostre “Memorie di Resistenza vignalese” e “Vignalesi ai tempi della Grande Guerra”. Con Neos edizioni ha pubblicato nel 2022 il romanzo “La ragione del silenzio”.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Remo Schellino"Voci di donne, per l'otto di marzo"www.remoschellino.itRemo Schellino nasce a Dogliani nel 1965 e dal 1991 è titolare di una piccola casa di produzione cinematografica. Nei suoi lavori tratta principalmente tematiche storico-sociali delle Langhe, del Roero, dell'Astigiano e delle valli cuneesi. Parallelamente conduce un'attività privata di archiviazione della memoria storica. Con la sua cinepresa raccoglie videointerviste a persone che difficilmente troverebbero spazio su un libro di storia, sono testimonianze legate ai principali eventi del Novecento italiano che vengono raccontati da un'altra prospettiva. Il suo modello è lo scrittore Nuto Revelli che, tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e la prima metà degli anni Ottanta, percorreva le povere campagne del cuneese per raccogliere le narrazioni e i ricordi di donne e uomini. "Stare al mondo"Per scelta o per destinoIl lavoro, l'impegno, la vita quotidiana raccontata dalle donne nel secondo dopoguerraIn un territorio storicamente contrassegnato da un'economia agricola e da una forte impronta cattolica, la condizione femminile è stata in parte raccontata nel volume di Nuto Revelli “L'anello forte”. Nell'opera dello scrittore cuneese per la prima volta voci e storie provenienti dal multiforme universo contadino della provincia di Cuneo sono state ascoltate, raccolte e pubblicate restituendo la dignità spesso negata e il valore fondamentale al ruolo delle donne in seno alla famiglia e alla società. Ma se il modello della donna sposa-madre-lavoratrice dei campi risulta dominante, non mancano, anche in quegli anni di transizione, figure capaci di scegliere per loro stesse un'alternativa di vita, manifestando un desiderio di indipendenza. L'estrema diversità delle esperienze delle testimoni è stata una scelta di campo voluta e meditata. Impostata sul modello del "racconto di vita", il fuoco delle interviste si è concentrato in particolare sulla "scelta", o, al contrario, sull' "assenza di scelta" in ambito affettivo e lavorativo. La cuoca del Presidente Einaudi, un emigrata dalla Calabria negli anni '60, una vedova di un disperso in guerra nel 1943, una maestra diventata primo Sindaco donna in Piemonte, una staffetta partigiana, una suora, la titolare di un dancing. Tutte sette raccontano il loro “Stare al mondo” per scelta o per destino.Elenco testimonianze- Vincenzina Revellli di Belvedere Langhe, classe 1928 (contadina e cuoca Presidente Einaudi)- Marianna Elia, di Niella Belbo Belbo, nata nel 1941 (emigrata dalla Calabria negli anni '60)- Caterina Morando di Ceva, classe 1924 (vedova dopo pochi giorni dal matrimonio di un disperso in guerra sul Fronte Greco nel 1943)- Irma Brocardo di Murazzano, classe 1922 (insegnante e primo sindaco donna in Piemonte)- Marisa Ombra di Asti, classe 1925 (staffetta partigiana e attiva nei Gruppi di difesa della donna)- Suor Delfina Pocchiolla, classe 1933, Priora Generale (Congregazione Suore Domenicane di Mondovì)- Paola Ghiglia Blengini di Bastia Mondovì, classe 1937 (proprietaria dello storico Dancing Paradiso di Bastia Mondovì)"Innamorate della libertà"Un documentario scritto e diretto da Erika Peirano e Remo Schellino.Per amore della libertà, per scelta politica, per tradizione famigliare. Molti e diversi i modi ed i motivi, ma unico lo scopo, unica la lotta. Storie di donne "resistenti" che senza cedere alla retorica dell'autocommiserazione o dell'autocompiacimento, raccontano semplicemente se stesse e uno spaccato centrale della storia delle loro vite.Le testimonianze raccolte sono di nove donne partigiane piemontesi: Margherita Mo (Meghi), Anna Barbero (Anita), Anna Parola (Katia), Anna Maria Polo (Mara), Paola Sibille (Ombra), Tersilla Fenoglio Oppedisano (Trottolina), Caterina Comba (Speranza), Nelia Benissone Costa (Vittoria), Bianca Guidetti Serra (Nerina). IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

What is unique about Famille Perrin in France's approach to running their family wine business? How do traditional wine families differentiate their brands and market their wines in a crowded marketplace? How has the Gaja family of Italy made significant contributions to winemaking and the Piemonte community? What is unique about Famille Perrin in France's approach to running their family wine business? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Fiona Morrison. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of her terrific book, 10 Great Wine Families: A Tour Through Europe. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights How did the Frescobaldi family make a massive impact on the arts in their transition from banking to wine? What were the Frescobaldi family's connections to famous figures like Dante Alighieri and Galileo? How has Angelo Gaja and the Gaja family made significant contributions to winemaking and the Piemonte community? Why is the Liger-Belair family's vineyard often known as the greatest in the world? What is unique about the Famille Perrin's approach to running their family wine business? How has Álvaro Palacios proven Garnacha's place as the climate change grape? How do traditional wine families differentiate their brands and market their wines in a crowded marketplace? Do these families view their wines as luxury goods?   Key Takeaways How do traditional wine families differentiate their brands and market their wines in a crowded marketplace? Simplicity and being true to their roots are two key factors Fiona points out. The labels have become much cleaner and are much more sober these days than they were in the past. The Torres family of Spain have done huge amounts on climate change and carbon neutrality and regeneration. In fact, they are, once again, this year, the most admired wine brand. I think it's very important to show that you're paying your dues and you're doing research. It shows how much they are rooted in their heritage and their history. How has the Gaja family of Italy made significant contributions to winemaking and the Piemonte community? If you want to go and taste a Gaja, you need to make a contribution of 300 euros to their various charities they support. Piemonte is still quite a poor region, and so they want to give back to the community and to the area what they can. Of course, people who drink Gaya wines, which are very expensive, can afford to give a charity donation. It's quite unusual, but I think it's a good solution for them. What is unique about Famille Perrin in France's approach to running their family wine business? There are seven or eight children from the two brothers, Francois and Jean Pierre. Every single one of them has a job in the winery, with each handling a different aspect of the business. This solidarity between so many children, working together, laughing together, tasting together. This is a blueprint for how to run a family business.   About Fiona Morrison MW Fiona Morrison is an international Master of Wine, author, writer and wine merchant who lives in Belgium and Bordeaux and holds both British and Belgian nationalities.

SummaryIn this episode of the Bella Italy podcast, the hosts discuss various travel itineraries across Italy, focusing on maximizing travel efficiency, exploring alternative coastal destinations, and enjoying authentic culinary experiences. They emphasize the importance of planning to avoid backtracking and wasting time, while also highlighting the beauty and crowds of popular spots like Cinque Terre. The conversation also touches on the significance of relaxation during travel and the unique culinary traditions of different regions, particularly Liguria. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the rich culinary landscape of Piemonte, Italy, highlighting its renowned wines, truffles, and the unique experiences offered in the region. They discuss the ease of exploring smaller towns, the significance of truffles in local cuisine, and the vibrant culture of Torino, emphasizing its blend of influences and the quality of its food and coffee culture.Takeaways Traveling efficiently in Italy can enhance your experience. Avoid backtracking to maximize your travel days. Cinque Terre is beautiful but can be very crowded. Consider alternative coastal towns for a more authentic experience. Relaxation is key to enjoying your vacation in Italy. Pasta shapes are designed to hold specific sauces well. Exploring local cuisine is essential when traveling. Beach clubs can provide a more relaxing beach experience. Planning your itinerary can help avoid wasted time. Piedmont is a hidden gem worth exploring. Piedmont is known for its exceptional wines, particularly Barolo and Barbaresco. The culinary experiences in Piemonte are elevated by the quality of its wines. Truffle hunting is a unique and authentic experience in the region. Torino offers a vibrant cultural scene with a mix of French and Swiss influences. The smaller towns in Piemonte provide a more intimate and accessible experience for visitors. Piedmont's cuisine is characterized by its use of butter rather than olive oil, reflecting its proximity to France. The region is less marketed than Tuscany, making it a hidden gem for travelers. Truffles are best enjoyed during the rainy season, particularly in December and January. Torino is home to one of the best Egyptian museums outside of Egypt. The diversity of Italy is showcased in the contrasting experiences from town to town.

Inizieremo con una notizia che ha fatto molto discutere: l'intervento del Vicepresidente JD Vance alla Conferenza sulla Sicurezza di Monaco, un discorso che ha sollevato serie preoccupazioni tra i leader europei, mettendo in discussione la stabilità della democrazia nel continente. A seguire, parleremo delle proteste che si stanno svolgendo davanti alle concessionarie Tesla negli Stati Uniti, nate in risposta al coinvolgimento di Elon Musk nella riduzione della spesa pubblica. Non ci occuperemo solo di politica. Nella nostra rubrica scientifica parleremo di felicità. Un recente studio ha rivelato che, nel Regno Unito, il grado di felicità, la soddisfazione per la vita e il senso di scopo tra gli anziani sono tornati ai livelli pre-pandemia. Infine, concluderemo la prima parte del programma con una storia affascinante: quella degli architetti reali che hanno ispirato il personaggio di László Tóth nel film candidato all'Oscar The Brutalist.    Nella seconda parte della trasmissione ci immergeremo nella lingua e nella cultura italiana. Il primo dialogo sarà ricco di esempi legati al tema grammaticale della settimana: Prepositional Noun Phrases: Sostantivi + preposizioni. L'ultimo dialogo illustrerà invece l'uso dell'espressione italiana Passare acqua sotto i ponti. - Il discorso di JD Vance alla Conferenza sulla sicurezza di Monaco rivela una spaccatura transatlantica - Manifestazioni contro Elon Musk colpiscono le concessionarie Tesla - I livelli di felicità degli anziani del Regno Unito sono tornati a quelli pre-pandemia - Il film candidato all'Oscar The Brutalist si ispira alla vita di veri architetti - Roma divisa sui cinema storici: salvarli o trasformarli? - Un inverno da dimenticare: il futuro incerto dei tartufi Bianchi del Piemonte

"It was always in my heart" - Pinch Me, Waking up in a 300-Year-Old Italian Farmhouse by Barbara BoyleWelcome to Episode #106,Barbara shares her book ‘Pinch Me - Waking up in a 300-Year-Old Italian Farmhouse' and the tale of traveling from France to Piemonte to discover the region of the Langhe, the place she would fall in love with, buy an old farmhouse and begin a grand restoration process. Barbara and her husband Kim made a life in Italy, following the pull, the irrational desire to create something special for them to enjoy in their retirement and live for an extended time in Italy.  I love these stories about people making the leap into new territory, buying a home, learning the language, living another kind of life. It is very possible to do that and it speaks to living the Italian dream and giving it a go. Pinch Me - Waking up in a 300-Year-Old Italian Farmhouse by Barbara BoyleVisit Barbara's Substack - Letters from a 300 year old farmhouseBarbara's Website for More!Barbara's InstagramFind all Shownotes at  michellejohnston.lifeBuy my new book:  In the Shadow of a Cypress - An Italian Adventure Book Link for my MichelleJohnston.life© 2025  A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2025Support the show

“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only with what you are expecting to give — which is everything.” ~ Katharine Hepburn Guest Introduction:  Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition! I'm Cindy MacMillan, your host and founder of Pangea World Travel Agency. If you're a midlife professional, an empty nester, or a woman with a heart for adventure, you're in the right place. This isn't just another travel podcast—it's an invitation to explore how travel shapes our lives, helping us grow, see the world in new ways, and rediscover ourselves along the way. And today, we're embracing love and travel in the spirit of Valentine's Day! Whether you're dreaming of a honeymoon-worthy escape or an unexpected romantic adventure, this episode is all about creating magical moments with the one you love. So, grab your coffee—or maybe a mocktail or even a glass of champagne for the occasion—get cozy, and let's set off on this journey together. To help me unpack these Romantic Getaways I've invited three incredible travel advisors who know romance when they see it. 1.     Josh Scheer is the founder of White Lotus Travel Design, a travel agency he established in 2023 after a diverse career journey. With a background in musical theater as an actor and a second career as a Solution Architect in sales, Josh brings a unique perspective to the world of travel. Based in New York City, Josh specializes in crafting bespoke multi-city European vacations tailored specifically for culinary travelers—those eager to explore the tastes, flavors, and culinary cultures of Europe in a truly immersive way. 2.     Ashley Stevens is the owner of Trellis Travel, a boutique travel agency specializing in bespoke European and Caribbean experiences, with a focus on luxury small-ship and river cruises. She creates experiences that offer authenticity and connection for discerning travelers who lead with their hearts when they travel.  3.     Angie Brandt believes a single moment can shape our story and leave a lasting legacy. Through Both Worlds Travel, she curates journeys for those who seek deeper connections—whether through culture, adventure, or quiet luxury. To Angie, true romance isn't just candlelit dinners or breathtaking views; it's the unforgettable moments that touch your heart and stay with you forever. She infuses this philosophy into every trip she designs, ensuring each journey is rich with meaning, connection, and lasting memories.   Here's a glimpse of our conversation:  Welcome, everyone! I'm so excited to have this conversation today and wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day! 6:23 (Josh) The most romantic trip I've ever taken was my engagement trip. My husband and I got engaged and spent two weeks in Italy, visiting only four places. So often, people feel the need to rush from one spot to the next, snapping selfies and checking off landmarks. But slowing down made our trip even more special. 7:50 (Cindy) I'll jump right in and share a place I found incredibly romantic. When I think of romantic trips, I've been on many, but a recent one that stood out was an Alaskan cruise last year. Many people don't typically consider an Alaskan cruise romantic, but it truly was. 9:23 (Ashley) The first place that came to mind was St. Lucia in the Caribbean—one of the most naturally beautiful and diverse places I've ever seen. We stayed at Cap Maison, a five-star resort on the island's north shore. 10:54 (Angie) I'd have to say Croatia. I know we talked about this in my last podcast, but there's something incredibly raw and real about it. For example, one night in Korčula, a charming little village, I was struck by its beauty. During the day, its cobblestone streets and stone buildings create a stunning, timeless atmosphere. 13:26 (Josh) Our job is to seek out those unique experiences in each destination. Most of the calls I receive are about travel to Europe, particularly Western Europe, along the Mediterranean. In addition to Italy, that includes France and Croatia as well. 16:55 (Angie) Building on what Josh and Ashley said, our job isn't to tell clients what to do—it's to truly understand them. That means listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions, and getting to know them on a deeper level. Ultimately, we're here to advise, which is why we're called travel advisors. But travel is full of nuance, and that's where our expertise comes in. 22:51 (Ashley) I find the South of France to be a perfect fit for many occasions, especially romantic trips. There's so much to do—you could plan an entire trip around UNESCO sites, explore medieval 12th-century villages for days, or relax in beautiful beach destinations. 25:03 (Cindy) Of course, the best destination depends on what our clients are looking for, but one place that stands out to me—and that I personally want to experience—is an African safari. I've been to South Africa, but I'd love to explore more, combining Cape Town with private guided tours, helicopter flights along the coastline, and a luxury safari experience. 32:01 (Josh) When we talk about Italy, there are some incredibly popular destinations like the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, and Taormina—cities that get a lot of attention. But just nearby, there are amazing alternatives. For example, right next to Lake Como in Piemonte, you'll find Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta. Piemonte is also one of Italy's best wine regions. You could stay in a charming town like Stresa, right on Lake Maggiore, and experience the beauty and tranquility it offers. 37:44 (Ashley) This may not be considered a hidden gem, but it can lead to discovering hidden gems. One thing I've learned, and what I specialize in, is river cruises. In Europe, a river cruise offers the opportunity to unpack once while visiting multiple destinations. 44:11 I'd like to ask everyone: What are one or two words that travel means to you? Josh: Exploration and freedom. Angie: Life and connection. Ashley: Perspective and connection. Cindy: Awareness and freedom.

Stefano Delmastro"La cassetta dei ricordi"Al Motovelodromo “Fausto Coppi” di Torino, in corso Casale 144, possiamo trovare la “Cassetta dei ricordi”: una sorta di buca delle lettere in cui i testimoni delle più diverse storie, legate allo sport – dal ciclismo al rugby –  e alle altre iniziative – dall'opera ai concerti rock –,  che si sono svolte nel secolo di vita di uno dei più antichi velodromi d'Italia, nonché la più antica struttura sportiva del Piemonte, potranno depositare le loro memorie, racconti, fotografie, cartoline, piccoli oggetti d'epoca.I soggetti promotori dell'iniziativa – nata all'interno del progetto Motovelodromo: il benessere per tutti. Persone e ambiente al centro, progetto di integrazione sociale volto a favorire l'incontro tra generazioni e identità diverse, il senso di comunità, la promozione e diffusione di stili di vita non sedentari, avviato nel 2024 da Sport 4 Good srl, società benefit di rigenerazione e gestione del Motovelodromo di Torino in collaborazione con la Città Metropolitana di Torino nell'ambito del Bando InnoSocialMetro – sono gli editori Graphot e Scritturapura, ben radicati a Torino e nel quartiere di Madonna del Pilone, in cui visse Emilio Salgari e dove dal 1920 sorge il Motovelodromo, sotto tutela della Soprintendenza dal 1994.La “Cassetta dei ricordi” è pensata, in primo luogo, per raccogliere – in forma cartacea o come file su chiavetta – le vicende e le storie più significative legate al Motovelodromo e al suo contesto per conservarle e condividerle attraverso la pubblicazione di un libro in coedizione delle case editrici indipendenti Graphot e Scritturapura, che hanno già al loro attivo il volume a doppio marchio dell'opinionista di Rai Sport Beppe Conti, Storia e leggenda del Motovelodromo.Per Laura Giachino di Graphot e Stefano Delmastro di Scritturapura, che seguiranno il lavoro di raccolta, selezione e di eventuale rielaborazione dei ricordi e dei racconti per il volume – la cui uscita è programmata per maggio, mese del Salone del libro e del Giro d'Italia – l'idea è soprattutto quella di “dar vita a un libro di testimonianze, memorie, aneddoti, raccontati da chiunque abbia in qualche modo ‘vissuto' un'esperienza, personale e non necessariamente sportiva, legata al Motovelodromo. Il Velò ha ospitato, e generato, momenti straordinari che continuano a vivere nei ricordi di molti abitanti del quartiere ed è un luogo storico e significativo per la tutta città, per gli appassionati di sport in generale, e non solo. Basti pensare che oltre a ciclisti intramontabili come Coppi e Bartali, ci ha giocato il Grande Torino, la Nazionale di calcio ci ha mosso i primi passi, lì si sono ascoltate la Carmen e l'Aida, ma anche i Pooh, Francesco De Gregori, i Roxy Music.”Anche se al varo – con taglio del nastro e bicchierata – della cassetta, martedì 11 febbraio al Motovelodromo interverranno alcuni scrittori come Maurizio Ternavasio e Marco Balestracci, Laura Giachino e Stefano Delmastro precisano che “la “Cassetta dei ricordi” è rivolta in particolare a tutte e tutti i potenziali testimoni delle più disparate vicende, dal barbiere di zona agli anziani e alle anziane della bocciofila di quartiere o ai membri delle diverse associazioni e comitati di zona, come “Pezzi di motovelodromo” e “Fiab Torino Bici & Dintorni", tra cui, ad esempio, il signor Mario (Bertola), che grazie al Motovelodromo conobbe l'attore Tyrone Power, e la signora Angela (Bernasconi), segretaria, coordinatrice e tifosa della squadra di football americano dei Tauri. Sono loro la vera memoria storica del luogo, indispensabile per mantenere vive le origini del Motovelodromo e del quartiere che da oltre cento anni lo ospita, e trasmetterla alle generazioni future.”Fabrizio Rostagno di Sport 4 Good aggiunge: “Il Motovelodromo è un luogo in cui le nuove generazioni possono trovare passato, presente e futuro, che qui si intrecciano. Fare rete vuol dire anche questo: far vivere la memoria storica e insieme guardare al futuro, far partecipare tutti e tutte alle attività sportive, ricreative e culturali”.Oltre che tramite stampata e chiavetta, la comunicazione di ricordi e racconti potrà avvenire via mail fino al 9 marzo all'indirizzo: cassettaricordimtv@gmail.com. Numero massimo di caratteri: 5000, spazi inclusi. Sono più che gradite anche le fotografie dal passato, accompagnate da una breve spiegazione o didascalia, cartoline e piccoli oggetti d'antan utili a raccontare – nelle pagine del libro che nascerà da questa iniziativa – gli oltre cento anni di vita del Motovelodromo. GRAPHOT è una casa editrice indipendente torinese da sempre legata al territorio. Ha in catalogo la collana “Borghi di Torino”, dedicata ai quartieri della città, e “Stories”, libri corali in cui sono i cittadini a raccontare i loro luoghi del cuore. Alla storia locale affianca la saggistica sportiva: dopo i libri sul calcio e su diversi altri sport, oggi dedica grande spazio ai campioni e alle imprese del ciclismo.SCRITTURAPURA è una piccola casa editrice indipendente nata a fine 2002 a Villa San Secondo, un paesino tra le colline del Monferrato astigiano, da sempre gravitante tra Asti e Torino, con un punto d'appoggio anche nel quartiere torinese del Motovelodromo, Madonna del Pilone. Pubblica letteratura straniera dalle terre dentro e fuori i confini d'Europa e autori italiani.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Donate a coffee (1€)? https://ko-fi.com/italiano Livello A2 / B1#culture #coffee #italy #vhsStoria e curiosità della famosa caffettiera e del suo inventoreBuongiorno cari amici e amanti dell'italiano e benvenuti al nuovo episodio di Tulip.Oggi continuiamo la serie dedicata al Made in Italy e vi parlo di un prodotto veramente iconico e cioè della Moka o caffettiera, cioè della macchina per fare il caffè, la macchina casalinga, quella per fare il caffè a casa.Il nome Moka viene dalla città Mokha, in Yemen, famosa per la produzione di caffè e in particolare della miscela più pregiata, la arabica, ma la famosa caffettiera, quella in alluminio, con due parti di forma ottagonale che si avvitano una sull'altra e con il manico in plastica nero, è stata inventata da un italiano.Alfonso Bialetti nasce il 17 giugno del 1888 a Montebuglio, vicino ad Omegna, una città sul Lago d'Orta in Piemonte. Giovanissimo emigra in Francia, dove lavora come operaio in una fonderia. Nel 1918 torna in Italia e apre una sua fonderia, la Alfonso Bialetti & C. Fonderia in Conchiglia che produce semilavorati in alluminio.Vicino alla sua officina ci sono delle donne che lavano la biancheria e per fare questo usano un grande pentolone con al centro un tubo. Quando l'acqua bolle, sale attraverso il tubo insieme alla liscivia. La liscivia era una soluzione di acqua e cenere di legno o di carbone, che si usava come oggi si usa il sapone o la polvere da lavare i panni. Dopo essere salita attraverso il tubo, l'acqua con la liscivia torna giù e si distribuisce uniformemente sullabiancheria da lavare....The full transcript of this Episode is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

Strategic initiatives that have fueled growth, building on the portfolio's strong foundation of family-run wineries, sustainable practices, and deep market discipline. How Wilson Daniels grew from a West Coast-focused company to a national powerhouse with a $350+ average case price for its brands at wholesale. How Wilson Daniels uses storytelling and authenticity to engage consumers with the rich histories behind its luxury wines.
