«La vulcanologia non è fisica, non è matematica. Non può fare previsioni» è quanto ammette uno degli scienziati intervistati, il giorno dopo l'ennesimo sciame sismico che ha scosso i Campi Flegrei, tutta Napoli e il suo golfo. Un paradiso dove emergono meraviglie come Capri, Ischia e Procida, ma che sovrasta una grande conca ribollente che, oltre a generare terremoti continui, potrebbe dare vita ad un altro Vesuvio con altre Pompei e Ercolano. Con conseguenze ancora più catastrofiche sulle persone e le sue case, concentrate cento volte di più di quanto fosse duemila anni fa. Insomma, un paradiso che può trasformarsi in inferno.

We in North America tend to have a romanticized view of the mafia, but for the locals, the history is more brutal. See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

La scorsa estate ha visto la sperimentazione, da parte del Politecnico di Torino, di un attività di collegamento tra la terra ferma e le isole minori del Golfo di Napoli, in particolare Procida, per mezzo di droni aerei capaci di trasportare un carico fino a 40 kg. I droni potrebbero rappresentare un’alternativa vincente ai trasporti via mare o per mezzo di aerei, offrendo anche l’occasione per una completa decarbonizzazione. L’attività di sperimentazione si è conclusa da poco, e noi facciamo il punto con Giorgio Guglieri, Direttore del Dipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica e Aerospaziale del Politecnico di Torino e responsabile dello Spoke1 del Centro Nazionale per la Mobilità Sostenibile.

Una finestra su un panorama mozzafiato, un'oasi di pace dove il silenzio è rotto soltanto dal suono delle onde del mare che si infrangono sulla spiaggia, Ischia e Procida che con le luci della sera emanano piccoli bagliori e sembrano così vicine da potersi toccare con mano, un lungo puntile che corre tra le acque, testimonianza viva e tangibile di antiche storie e tradizioni dei Campi Flegrei.

Ses photographies sont un appel au voyage au large de la Méditerranée, une invitation au rêve et une célébration de l'insouciance estivale. Si ses œuvres éveillent autant notre imaginaire, c'est parce qu'elles ne sont pas si communes... Cette photographe a développé une technique de surimpression argentique. Elle fait s'entremêler les prises de vue, se rencontrer des images qui se superposent sous nos yeux. Le résultat est onirique, réalité et fantasme fusionnent, c'est alors à nous d'ouvrir notre « musée intérieur », comme elle aime l'appeler, pour accueillir et réinterpréter ses créations. L'Italie, et plus particulièrement la baie de Naples, Rome, ou encore Ponza sur les îles Pontines, sont une source d'inspiration continue, que Joséphine Vallé Franceschi nourrit derrière son objectif.

Elisabetta Montaldo"MarEtica"Un premio alla miglior narrazione sul mare, in qualsiasi formato, tra letteratura, cinema e teatro, per sottolineare il rapporto ancestrale tra l'uomo e il mare, da sempre fascinosa ambientazione di storie. Torna, dal 12 al 15 settembre, il festival MARetica, la manifestazione ideata dallo scrittore Alessandro Baricco che porta a Procida quattro giornate di sport e cultura dedicate al mare.La giuria, presieduta dalla scrittrice Valeria Parrella e composta - per la prima volta - dalla giornalista e scrittrice Concita De Gregorio e dall'attore Luca Marinelli e, come di consueto, dalla scrittrice e costumista Elisabetta Montaldo, dallo storico Claudio Fogu e dal montatore Giogiò Franchini, ha scelto i sei candidati al premio di questa edizione: l'artista multimediale Shona Heat, che ha ispirato tutto il lavoro di scenografia e costume del film “Povere Creature” di Yorgos Lanthimos, con particolare attenzione di Maretica per le incredibili scene degli interni-esterni della nave, con ambientazione negli anni '20 del 900; lo scrittore Fabio Genovesi con “Oro puro” (Mondadori), originale rivisitazione del viaggio che ha portato alla scoperta dell'America vista con gli occhi del giovane mozzo Nuno e una riflessione su quanta ferocia possa motivare le scelte degli uomini, ma anche sulla forza irresistibile dell'amore; la scrittrice Evelina Santangelo con “Il sentimento del mare” (Einaudi), che raccoglie le storie di cui trabocca il mare, vicende e avventure che hanno sempre qualcosa di epico, mitico ed estremo; i saggisti Peregrine Horden e Nicholas Purcell con “Il mare che corrompe. Per una storia del Mediterraneo dall'età del ferro all'età moderna” (Carocci); la regista Jennifer Rainsford, autrice di “All of Our Heartbeats Are Connected Through Exploding Stars”, un lungometraggio che racconta il maremoto del 2011, nel Giappone settentrionale dal punto di vista del mare; il regista Tommaso Santambrogio con “Gli oceani sono i veri continenti”, film in bianco e nero ambientato in una Cuba decadente e in crisi.Il festival ripropone il tema del “Ripensare l'umanità a partire dal mare”, che accompagna l'iniziativa dal 2018, riunendo sull'isola sportivi del mare ed intellettuali per celebrare opere e autori che abbiano saputo raccontare il mare e le storie umane che lo abitano. Insieme all'ormai tradizionale traversata storica in SUP dall'antico porto romano di Miseno a Vivara, in programma domenica 15 settembre - l'evento propone un importante momento di riflessione sull'etica e l'ecologia del mare, coniugato al valore dello sport.Novità dell'edizione di quest'anno il coinvolgimento delle studentesse e degli studenti della scuola secondaria di primo grado “Antonio Capraro” di Procida, chiamati a leggere e recensire – attraverso un testo o un prodotto video – il romanzo di Ernest Hemingway “Il vecchio e il mare”, grande classico della narrativa di mare: i tre migliori elaborati, valutati da una giuria ad hoc, saranno premiati nel corso di MARetica.Elisabetta Montaldo è scrittrice, pittrice e costumi- sta legatissima all'isola di Procida.

Libera Iovine, chef originaria di Procida, è una figura di spicco nella scena gastronomica italiana; è stata infatti la prima chef a ricevere una stella Michelin ad Ischia, un traguardo che ha raggiunto negli anni '90 con il ristorante Melograno. Insieme al marito Giovanni Iovine, ha gestito questo locale che rimane nel cuore dei clienti affezionati per la sua cucina elegante e sostenibile. La sua carriera è un esempio di come la passione e la dedizione possano trasformare la tradizione culinaria in un'arte moderna.

Nel corso di rigorosi controlli sulla sicurezza alimentare, sono stati sequestrati centinaia di chilogrammi di pesce in due diverse operazioni in Italia, a Palermo e Procida, a causa della mancanza di tracciabilità e altre irregolarità. Palermo: un totale di una tonnellata di pesce sequestrato. A Palermo, la Capitaneria di porto ha effettuato verifiche mirate in diversi ristoranti situati nelle aree di Mondello e del Politeama. In seguito a queste ispezioni, sono stati sequestrati complessivamente mille chilogrammi di prodotti ittici. Le infrazioni riscontrate riguardano principalmente la mancanza di documentazione adeguata per attestare la tracciabilità del pesce e la non conformità alle procedure del manuale Haccp, essenziale per garantire igiene e sicurezza alimentare.

While visiting Naples could easily take a week by itself, there's so much more to the area than the city. Just off the coast you can find the resort island of Capri, the thermal springs island of Ischia, and the "blue collar" island of Procida. How to get there? What to see? And when did these islands first host people? These questions and more are answered in today's episode! As always, thank you all so much for listening!

Il chitarrista cantautore Marco Gesualdi ha raccontato a DISERA DINOTTE com'è nato "Terra Murata", il nuovo singolo dedicato a Procida estratto dall'album "Ho piantato un'albero", edito da Clapo Music di Claudio Poggi ("Terra mia" di Pino Daniele tra le sue produzioni storiche). Il brano si avvale della partecipazione di Simona Boo, artista già presente in diversi brani del chitarrista napoletano. Riascolta l'intervista andata in onda su Radio3i.

Il percorso delle Cer, le Comunità Energetiche Rinnovabili, appare ancora in una fase embrionale. I progetti non mancano, così come gli incentivi, ma i due anni di attesa per conoscere le regole stabilite da decreti attuativi ha rallentato fortemente il processo. Secondo dati del GSE; a giugno 2023 sono solo 35 le Cer attive in Italia che hanno richiesto l'accesso agli incentivi. In Campania dove è attiva la prima Cer solidale, a Napoli, nel quartiere di Napoli est, San Giovanni a Teduccio, è in fase di definizione lo statuto della prima esperienza nazionale di Cer all'interno di un'area Asi, che per ora sarà composta da sette aziende. La regione spinge l'acceleratore sui piccoli comuni pensando alla riapertura del bando che permette di ottenere 8mila euro per la promozione delle Comunità rinnovabili. Un mese fa è stata avviata l'attività prevista per il progetto europeo ISLET, che studia e promuove la realizzazione di comunità energetiche nelle piccole isole del Mediterraneo. Procida è l'unica piccola isola italiana a partecipare. Lungo il percorso si dovranno risolvere e superare diverse criticità di un sistema complesso e ancora poco conosciuto: dalla formazione del gruppo che realizza la Comunità, all'immissione in rete dell'energia prodotta e al riconoscimento degli incentivi, fino alla difficoltà di trovare siti in cui installate gli impianti.

Una testa calda, che direttamente da Procida ci delizia con la sua musica rock di tutti i tipi. Stiamo parlando di Redge, che insieme alla sua band porta al VdA il divertimento necessario per il pubblico!

Alessandra Fontana"La conferenza"Lydie SalvayrePrehistorica Editorewww.prehistoricaeditore.itTraduzione di Lorenza Di Lella e Francesca ScalaQuesto romanzo ha per protagonista un narratore che parla in prima persona e, dal suo pulpito, tiene una conferenza sul tema della “scomparsa della conversazione”. Mentre ci illustra lo stato della conversazione, a suo dire sempre meno praticata ai nostri giorni, spesso sconfina nella sfera privata, con digressioni di volta in volta umoristiche, sarcastiche, tenere o terribilmente malinconiche. In filigrana del resto, l'argomentazione lascia intravedere la controversa storia d'amore con la moglie, da poco scomparsa ma onnipresente nei pensieri e nelle parole del protagonista.Lydie Salvayre è una delle scrittrici protagoniste della scena letteraria francese, in quanto capace di coniugare sensibilità e ironia, unitamente a una verve linguistica che ha pochi eguali nella letteratura contemporanea. Le sue opere hanno riscontrato un enorme successo di Critica e, dalla consacrazione del Prix Goucourt, anche di pubblico.Lydie Salvayre nasce nel 1948 a Autanville (centro-valle della Loira) da genitori spagnoli rifugiati, sfuggiti al franchismo durante la guerra civile.Studia lettere moderne all'Università di Tolosa e si laurea anche in medicina: ha esercitato la professione dello psichiatra prima di dedicarsi integralmente alla scrittura.Ha esordito nel 1990 con il romanzo La Dichiarazione, salutato dalla critica e insignito del Premio Hermès. Di lì ha pubblicato una quindicina di romanzi, che gli sono valsi svariati e importanti riconoscimenti, come Il Premio Novembre, il Premio Billetdoux e il Prix Goncourt.Le sue opere sono tradotte in una ventina di lingue. In Francia è edita da illustri editori quali Le Seuil, Juillard e Verticales. In Italia, alcune sue opere sono state pubblicate da Bébert, Bollati e Boringheri, Feltrinelli, Guanda, L'Asino d'oro. Dal 2023, se ne occupa Prehistorica Editore.Come in questo caso del resto, Lorenza Di Lella lavora spesso in coppia con Giuseppe Girimonti Greco; insieme a lui ha dato voce a Vladimir Pozner, Julia Deck, Antoine Compagnon (Adelhi), Bernard Quiriny (L'Orma) e Julien Green (Nutrimenti). Con Il barone sanguinario di Pozner hanno vinto, nel 2012, il premio Procida. Tra gli autori da loro tradotti: Perrault, Proust, Toussaint, Tremblay, Boileau&Narcejac, Carrère, Salvaire, Reza, Simenon, Klossowski, Michon, Jauffret.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Gea Finelli"Nel mare di Elsa"Nutrimenti Edizionihttps://nutrimenti.netPerché e quando Elsa Morante approda sull'isola di Procida? È invitata da qualcuno? È per pura curiosità? E quanto vi resta? In compagnia di chi? E soprattutto, come trascorre il suo tempo sull'Isola? Da quali incontri, quali suggestioni, trae ispirazione per scrivere il suo capolavoro L'isola di Arturo? Che realtà incontra quando vi sbarca nei primi anni '50? E che accoglienza riservano i procidani alla scrittrice italiana più celebre del secondo dopoguerra? Tanto si è scritto e raccontato delle lun­ghe permanenze a Capri della coppia Morante-Moravia, mentre poche e fumose testimonianze si avevano fino ad oggi dei lunghi periodi trascorsi a Procida dalla più celebre coppia di letterati del tempo. Eppure, nessun altro luogo e nessun altro momento incidono così profondamente sulla sua vena creativa, corrispondono così intimamente al suo vissuto, come Procida: un'isola magica, ‘un giardino fatato' battuto dai venti, profumato di limoni, abitato da animali fantastici, illuminato dalle sere stellate, protetto da un mare palpitante e infinito che seduce la scrittrice come un canto di sirene. Le testimonianze inedite di chi ebbe il privilegio di conoscerla, o di scrutarla di nascosto, durante il suo soggiorno sull'isola, ci ripropongono la magica fusione alchemica tra un territorio e un'anima, entrambi impetuosi e fragili.Gea Finelli, nata a Napoli, 40 anni, laureata in Scienze Politiche, giornalista professionista dal 2007, attualmente collabora con le pagine culturali di Repubblica Napoli. Ha scritto per Il Roma, Il Mattino, L'Espresso, F, Natural Style, Viversani e belli, Radio Vaticana. Ha curato uffici stampa istituzionali e culturali. Ha condotto Tg ed è stata autrice e conduttrice di format televisivi per alcune emittenti regionali della Campania. Attualmente è ideatrice e coordinatrice del Premio letterario Pagine di Passione dedicato a Verga.

Rocco Pinto"Viaggi di carta"edizioni e/ohttps://edizionieo.itUn romanzo picaresco scritto da un libraio per raccontare, a tratti anche con una vena fantastica, storie di librai e libraie che hanno “rivoluzionato” il mestiere. Narra anche, in modo disincantato, il mondo editoriale italiano e alcuni dei suoi attori più originali.Questo romanzo ci conduce a spasso per i luoghi magici dei libri partendo da Torino. Il protagonista, Andrea, perde il lavoro come addetto alle biblioteche perché durante le consegne ai clienti non riesce a fare a meno di fermarsi e leggere dei brani. Decide di trasferirsi a Barcellona alla ricerca di fortuna e, dopo aver girovagato per la città, capisce che sulla Rambla può rimettersi in gioco grazie a Sant Jordi, protettore della Catalogna. Indossa gli abiti del santo e a chi passeggia per la Rambla propone le sue letture. Da qui hanno inizio le avventure rocambolesche che lo porteranno con Ginevra, Luna e altri protagonisti nella Napoli di Port'Alba e degli Abbagnale, nella Venezia di Manuzio, nella Trieste di Saba ma anche ad Abano Terme, a Tribùk, dove si imbatte in uno strano raduno di librai ed editori. I nostri eroi arriveranno anche a Bologna, Pontremoli, Ventotene, Pietrasanta, Carloforte, Prali, Matera, Bari, Palermo, Procida e Marrakech, e non viaggeranno a cavallo come Don Chisciotte o i protagonisti del Parnaso ambulante di Morley ma su un'Ape e una barca cariche di libri.Libraio da sempre, Rocco Pinto vive e lavora a Torino alla libreria Il Ponte sulla Dora. È ideatore di Portici di carta, Torino che legge, Pralibro e Libri sotto la loggia nella libreria La Dora va al mare di Noli.

This island deserved the honor of being named the Italian Capitol of Culture in 2022. They could have added Hospitality, Generosity, Kindness and Happiness to the title in my opinion! We had the most perfect stay with the striking views from our terraces, the colorful palette of the island's architecture and the sound of fishing boats leaving the harbor at first light. The friendly locals and the seafood cuisine were yet even more perks to an island that I want to describe as, perfectly idyllic.Even during a very busy travel season, you can still escape the crowds here if you know where to do just that. You can also walk the entire island, stopping at each little inlet for a swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Procida's big sister of Ischia is a short boat ride away, yet another bonus this teeny island has to offer.

Author and attorney Rich Procida offers five lessons Democrats must learn from the 2022 midterm elections. He lays the foundation for his discussion by defining terms like "propaganda" and describes its influence on us. Then he warns us of what he calls the "five propaganda pitfalls" we must avoid. It's a tough presentation that some people may not want to hear because it points out problematic propaganda currently being disseminated to the Left. #Democrat #Propaganda #2022Election
