Podcasts about San Giovanni

Per molti italiani la notte tra il 23 e il 24 giugno è considerata una notte magica. Ricorda gli antichi riti propiziatori, di purificazione per ringraziare la natura e chiedere benevolenza, cose buone. Oggi ti racconto di questa tradizione e della famosa Acqua di San Giovanni: cos'è? Come si prepara? Ti spiego così, quest'anno, puoi preparare la tua!Le trascrizioni? Sono gratutite! Iscriviti qui.

In Dio sono perfette sia l’unità che la Trinità. Dio è unico nell’unità di una sola natura e trino nelle persone. Siamo di fronte al mistero. I misteri di Dio ci si svelano nella misura in cui siamo capaci, accogliendo i doni di grazia e lasciandoci illuminare dallo stesso Spirito, di viverli e incarnarli in noi. San Giovanni ci dice che Dio è amore, ma aggiunge che per amore Egli ha dato la vita per noi, e non esiste amore più grande di questo. Se osserviamo i suoi comandamenti, se diventa continua e crescente la nostra comunione con il Padre, con il Figlio Gesù Cristo e con lo Spirito Santo, allora la Trinità beata viene a noi e prende dimora presso di noi. San Paolo lo diceva ai primi cristiani: “Non sapete che siete tempio di Dio e che lo Spirito di Dio abita in voi? Se uno distrugge il tempio di Dio, Dio distruggerà lui. Perché santo è il tempio di Dio, che siete voi”. È vero che esiste un limite invalicabile oltre il quale la mente umana non può vedere, ma è anche vero che Dio non pone ostacoli alla sua conoscenza, non pone limite alcuno al suo amore. Siamo noi a perdere di vista le realtà del cielo perché invischiati nelle cose della terra o offuscati dal male. Il peccato è la vera barriera che noi costruiamo verso Dio Uno e Trino. L’esperienza cristiana ci dice che la fedeltà di Dio non viene mai meno, neanche quando la nostra naufraga penosamente. Egli vuole rivelarsi e farsi conoscere per essere da noi riconosciuto e amato. Egli non solo nella Scrittura sacra si rivela, ma meglio e ancor più nella vita di ogni giorno, nella storia del mondo e in particolare in quella della Chiesa. Splende nei suoi santi la gloria della Trinità. Nella nostra redenzione viene esaltato l’amore misericordioso. Nei travagli e nelle vittorie della Chiesa splende la luce dello Spirito Santo, che la rende martire ma invincibile. Nella comunione fraterna concretamente espressa, la Trinità trova la migliore espressione. Quello che perfettamente vive nei cieli si trasferisce per noi sul nostro mondo. E noi siamo il tempio di Dio, del Padre, del Figlio e dello Spirito Santo.

L'Associazione Culturale Il Cornetto Acustico, con sede in via San Giovanni, nello storico quartiere di Villanova, è una bella novità nel panorama culturale di Cagliari. Ne parliamo col Presidente dell'associazione, Giampiero Spanedda. Giampiero Spanedda, Presidente dell'Associazione Culturale Il Cornetto Acustico, ci racconta della nascita dell'associazione, dalla fondazione con un gruppo di amici alla scelta della sede in via San Giovanni 219, nello storico quartiere di Villanova, fino alla curiosa origine del nome. Proprio quest'ultimo è l'aspetto più interessante che lega i destini dell'associazione a quelli di un libro scritto da Leonora Carrington intitolato, appunto, Il Cornetto Acustico. Nel corso dell'intervista, Giampiero ci ha fatto conoscere questa straordinaria figura di scrittrice e pittrice, consigliando al nostro pubblico alcuni testi e dipinti dell'artista. L'associazione è nata il 29 febbraio del 2024 dall'idea di un gruppo di amici con l'idea di aprire un nuovo spazio culturale a Cagliari e con l'obiettivo di dare spazio ad artisti poco conosciuti al grande pubblico anche se di grande talento. La scelta di collocare la sede nel quartiere storico di Villanova ha avuto un impatto fondamentale nella crescita di questa bella realtà culturale. Giampiero, nel corso dell'intervista, ci ha parlato del rapporto sempre più stretto con gli abitanti di Villanova, un quartiere dove sono presenti ancora qualche bottega artigiana e qualche bed & breakfast di troppo. L'associazione tra passato e presente Nel corso del suo primo anno di vita Il Cornetto Acustico ha organizzato numerose e interessantissime attività culturali che spaziano in diversi campi: dalle mostre d'arte ai concerti di musica (dalla musica classica al jazz) passando per conferenze riguardanti temi di più stretta attualità affidate a studiosi di grande competenza. Il presidente dell'associazione ci ha ricordato la conferenza presentata dal Professor Gessa o, più recentemente, quella di Roberto Zanata, Professore di Tecnologia del Suono e della Multimedialità del Conservatorio di Cesena e Rimini, riguardante i rischi e le potenzialità dell'intelligenza artificiale nella composizione musicale; entrambe hanno richiamato un numero importante di partecipanti. Per quanto riguarda le mostre d'arte, il 7 maggio è stata inaugurata la mostra di pittura di Attilio Della Maria, un'istituzione nel panorama pittorico cagliaritano, dal titolo Cronache dai Metamondi e che è stata visitabile fino al 25 maggio. Tra le sfide per il futuro dell'associazione culturale c'è senz'altro quella di coinvolgere sempre di più un pubblico giovane cercando di dare vita ad una collaborazione con gli studenti del Conservatorio di Cagliari, che potranno trovare nei locali del Cornetto Acustico un luogo suggestivo per la loro arte. Insomma, ad un anno dalla fondazione, l'associazione culturale Il Cornetto Acustico si sta rivelando una delle realtà culturali più interessanti e affascinanti di Cagliari.

Battistero di San Giovanni a Pisa: storia, caratteristiche e stile di uno dei simboli dell'età dell'oro di Pisa nonché battistero più grande del mondo.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8159CHIUDONO I NEGOZI DI GIOCATTOLI, MA GUAI A TOCCARE GLI SMARTPHONE di Fabio Piemonte Denatalità e iperdigitalizzazione non hanno solo drammatiche e dirette conseguenze come meno figli o più disagi per bambini e adolescenti, ma anche effetti collaterali egualmente tristi e problematici. Come la chiusura di negozi di giocattoli, con tutto ciò che questo comporta tanto in termini economici quanto sociali e, consentiteci di dirlo, di vera e propria tristezza nel vedere un modo così alla deriva.I casi non sono pochi, ma a fare più clamore è quando vittime sono veri e propri negozi storici, quasi delle "istituzioni", come "Casa Mia". Per chi è romano, in particolare della zona centro-sud, è un colpo pensare che l'iconico negozio di giocattoli con le vetrine sull'Appia Nuova nel quartiere San Giovanni abbia chiuso i battenti dopo quasi 80 anni di attività. «Con profondo rammarico annunciamo la chiusura definitiva del negozio, una realtà che ha rappresentato un punto di riferimento per la vendita di giocattoli e un luogo magico in cui immergersi per generazioni di bambini e famiglie», scrive sul cartello in vetrina la proprietaria Grazia Battista. La notizia giunge tra l'altro a pochi giorni dalla chiusura di "Ciuff Ciuff" in via Etruria, altro celebre negozio del settore - sempre nella zona San Giovanni - in particolare per quanti siano alla ricerca dei giochi di un tempo per figli e nipoti.MENO FIGLI E TROPPO INTERNETTra i diversi motivi di tale decisione "Casa Mia" addita anche «l'evidente diminuzione della natalità, che si va ad aggiungere alla difficoltà delle giovani coppie di trovare alloggi in città storiche come Roma, dove sempre più appartamenti vengono sottratti agli affitti tradizionali a favore di quelli brevi per i turisti». A Roma, ma non solo purtroppo, mancano all'appello nuove famiglie e giovani coppie, e dunque conseguentemente figli. Meno bimbi vuol dire sostanzialmente anche meno giocattoli. Quei pochi che vengono acquistati sono poi comprati principalmente online, per cui tanti negozi faticano a sopravvivere, dati i costi di gestione evidentemente più alti. Infatti la proprietaria di "Casa Mia" richiama nel cartello esposto anche le «molteplici ragioni che riflettono il profondo cambiamento socio-economico a cui stiamo assistendo. Innanzitutto lo sviluppo del commercio online, caratterizzato da una competizione sfrenata e priva di regole, la cui diffusione è esplosa con la pandemia penalizzando i negozi di prossimità. Il servizio assistito che i negozi tradizionali garantiscono e i loro costi di gestione non permettono di competere con l'estensione a livello mondiale del mercato virtuale e dei prezzi sempre più bassi delle piattaforme digitali a portata di click». Infine la stessa titolare evidenzia anche il rischio dell'iperdigitalizzazione, dal momento che «la tecnologia ha trasformato le abitudini dei più piccoli: già in tenera età i bambini vengono attratti da dispositivi digitali che li allontanano anticipatamente dal gioco manuale e tradizionale. Applicazioni, giochi e social network sono sempre a disposizione sui telefonini dei familiari e hanno cambiato il modo di divertirsi e interagire anche per i bambini più piccoli».RECUPERARE UN'AUTENTICA DIMENSIONE LUDICAD'altra parte fino a non molti anni fa i bambini ancora scorrazzavano nelle piazze, riempivano i parchi e desideravano incontrarsi nelle case per giocare insieme con le costruzioni o con la casa delle bambole, oggi invece hanno maggiormente gli occhi incollati agli smartphone anche quando siedono su una panchina l'uno accanto all'altro e preferiscono incontrarsi sulle piattaforme social in Rete piuttosto che dal vivo coi loro coetanei. E in effetti, come conclude con profonda amarezza la titolare di "Casa Mia" nel messaggio affisso in vetrina, «abbiamo sempre creduto che la ricerca e il progresso siano fondamentali per costruire un futuro migliore, ma oggi ci troviamo davanti alla necessità di riflettere anche sui suoi effetti collaterali».Si rende pertanto necessaria una riflessione seria e più ampia anche a livello istituzionale sui danni ingenti di una simile iperdigitalizzazione affinché ai bambini siano restituite modalità di gioco autentico. Come tra l'altro più volte denunciato, tra gli altri, anche dallo psicologo newyorkese Haidt e in Italia in particolare dal pedagogista Daniele Novara e dallo psicoterapeuta Alberto Pellai, tra i promotori di una petizione per chiedere lo stop agli smartphone sotto i 14 anni e il divieto di uso dei social sotto i 16 anni. Così come la Campagna "Piccole Vittime Invisibili" di Pro Vita & Famiglia onlus, che da anni va nella stessa direzione di combattere l'eccesso di digitale ma anche di abusi e pericoli - sessuali e non - per i minori derivanti dal Web. Quel gioco - sia esso libero o strutturato, all'aperto o nelle case coi giocattoli, con i coetanei o con genitori e nonni -, attraverso cui il bambino implementa la propria creatività e costruisce il mondo intorno a sé, fondamentale nel percorso di crescita anche per lo sviluppo di relazioni autentiche con i pari.

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.

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.

Nove anni sono un tempo non troppo lungo ma neanche troppo breve per capire se un investimento ‘sul futuro’ ha dato i frutti sperati. Il caso della Apple developer academy di Napoli, nata nel 2016, dalla partnership tra l’azienda di Cupertino e l’Università Federico II, è stato definito una best practice e per sostenerne le potenzialità di sviluppo sono stati utilizzati anche fondi europei. Il progetto ha catalizzato risorse regionali provenienti dal fondo Fse per la realizzazione della sede che rientra nel polo universitario federiciano insediato nell’area ex Cirio e continua a beneficiarne con borse di studio che di fatto sono indennità di frequenza destinate agli studenti che provengono da tutto il mondo.Dal 2016 ad oggi, hanno completato la Apple developer academy circa 2500 studenti dei quali 1800 sono campani. Il 58% degli studenti è anche studente universitario. Tra chi scegle di lavorare dopo il percorso formativo il 66% trova una posizione lavorativa e il 9% diventa un imprenditore o un freelance. Per capire cosa è cambiato concretamente, abbiamo ascoltato le esperienze di ex studenti ed ex studentesse; le voci di chi oggi sta creando nuove app alla ricerca di soluzioni che possano avere un impatto positivo in termini di miglioramento della qualità della vita.Il direttore scientifico della Apple Developer Academy, Giorgio Ventre, e l’assessora all’innovazione e alle Startup della regione Campania, Valeria Fascione, hanno seguito sin dall’inizio l’evoluzione del progetto che negli anni è andato oltre il classico percorso di formazione per chi sviluppa app, ha attratto talenti dall’estero e dal resto d’Italia, che spesso hanno scelto di restare in Campania. Uno scambio culturale determinante anche in termini di trasformazione urbana. Da ex zona industriale, a quartiere degradato, oggi San Giovanni a Teduccio, almeno nella zona intorno al polo universitario sembra vivere un lento ma costante processo di riqualificazione.

"Sangio" è pronto a tornare in pubblico con la sua musica, dopo il temporaneo ritiro a metà febbraio 2024, dopo Sanremo, quando annunciò l'esigenza di prendersi cura della sua salute mentale. Sangiovanni sta per tornare infatti con un nuovo singolo, dal titolo "Luci allo xeno".

This field recording, captured on May 13th, 2023, in Pisa at the Battistero di San Giovanni, immerses the listener in the acoustics of one of Italy's most iconic heritage sites. The soundscape is a blend of the bustling noise of tourist groups, their conversations drifting in and out of focus, and the captivating vocal performance of a tour guide.  As the guide demonstrates the remarkable acoustics of the Baptistery, their voice rises in song, reverberating through the building's awe-inspiring echo. This recording reflects the tension between the overwhelming presence of tourism—where quiet reflection is almost impossible—and the reverence for the sacred space. The unique resonance of the Baptistery, with its long, warm reverb, amplifies both the chaos of modern tourism and the humility of the building's spiritual and sonic qualities.

Lo leggiamo su Corriere, Repubblica e Messaggero. Da Repubblica leggiamo i risultati sul monitoraggio sull'avanzamento del PNRR nella sanità del Lazio e si legge che su ospedali di comunità e altre nuove strutture per la medicina di prossimità siamo molto indietro, ma ci sono anche buone notizie premiata la senologia del San Giovanni. Altraeconomia con un reportage di Ylenia Sina mette il naso su quello che sta succedendo in Campidoglio con i cambiamenti al Piano Regolatore generale del 2008, le associazioni sono preoccupate per una cementificazione facilitata senza tenere conto di uno sviluppo armonico. Intanto il comitato di Torre spaccata segnala una nuova recinzione sul Pratone di Torre spaccata che impedisce ai cittadini di passare, di cui per ora nessuno sa lo scopo. Foto di Luca Dammicco.Sveja è un progetto sostenuto da Periferiacapitale, il programma per Roma della fondazione Charlemagne. Ringraziamo inoltre l'associazione A Sud che ci mette a disposizione i propri spazi per le riunioni di redazione.La sigla di Sveja è di Mattia Carratello.

Dal Vangelo secondo MarcoIn quel tempo, Gesù diceva [alla folla]: «Così è il regno di Dio: come un uomo che getta il seme sul terreno; dorma o vegli, di notte o di giorno, il seme germoglia e cresce. Come, egli stesso non lo sa. Il terreno produce spontaneamente prima lo stelo, poi la spiga, poi il chicco pieno nella spiga; e quando il frutto è maturo, subito egli manda la falce, perché è arrivata la mietitura».Diceva: «A che cosa possiamo paragonare il regno di Dio o con quale parabola possiamo descriverlo? È come un granello di senape che, quando viene seminato sul terreno, è il più piccolo di tutti i semi che sono sul terreno; ma, quando viene seminato, cresce e diventa più grande di tutte le piante dell'orto e fa rami così grandi che gli uccelli del cielo possono fare il nido alla sua ombra».Con molte parabole dello stesso genere annunciava loro la Parola, come potevano intendere. Senza parabole non parlava loro ma, in privato, ai suoi discepoli spiegava ogni cosa.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=8055L'AMBIGUA PRESENZA LGBT AL GIUBILEO 2025 di Roberto de Mattei Il 24 dicembre, con l'apertura della Porta santa di San Pietro, Papa Francesco ha inaugurato il Giubileo 2025. Il Papa ha attraversato la soglia della Porta per entrare nella Basilica, mentre risuonavano le parole del Vangelo di Giovanni, "Io sono la Porta: se uno entra attraverso di me, sarà salvato", e poi quelle del Salmo 118, "È questa la porta del Signore, per essa entrano i giusti".Dietro di lui una processione con i cardinali, vescovi, sacerdoti e alcune famiglie rappresentanti dei cinque continenti. Il 26 dicembre il Papa ha aperto, per la prima volta in un Giubileo ordinario, una Porta santa nel carcere romano di Rebibbia e il 29 dicembre quella della Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, cattedrale di Roma. Contemporaneamente l'anno giubilare è stato aperto da tutti i vescovi del mondo.La tradizione vuole che ogni Giubileo venga proclamato tramite la pubblicazione di una bolla papale d'Indizione. Il Giubileo del 2025 è stato indetto in San Pietro, il 9 maggio 2024, con la bolla Spes non confundit (La speranza non delude, Rm 5,5). In questa bolla, papa Francesco ricorda che "la speranza, insieme alla fede e alla carità, forma il trittico delle "virtù teologali", che esprimono l'essenza della vita cristiana". La speranza soprannaturale è quella della vita eterna. "Un'altra realtà connessa con la vita eterna - ha ricordato il Papa - è il giudizio di Dio, sia al termine della nostra esistenza che alla fine dei tempi. Il Sacramento della Penitenza ci assicura che Dio cancella i nostri peccati".La Penitenzieria Apostolica ha reso note le norme sulla concessione dell'Indulgenza durante il Giubileo 2025. Potranno ricevere l'indulgenza, con la remissione e il perdono dei peccati, tutti i fedeli "veramente pentiti", "mossi da spirito di carità", "che, nel corso del Giubileo, purificati attraverso il sacramento della Penitenza e ristorati dalla Santa Comunione pregheranno secondo le intenzioni del Sommo Pontefice", visitando una delle quattro Basiliche Papali Maggiori di Roma, o uno dei numerosi luoghi sacri previsti dalla Chiesa in tutto il mondo.  Tuttavia, per ottenere l'indulgenza non è sufficiente passare la Porta santa. Bisogna confessarsi ed essere pentiti dei propri peccati. Il Concilio di Trento definisce il pentimento "un dolore dell'anima e una detestazione del peccato commesso con il proposito di non più peccare" (Sess. 14, cap. 4). Senza il proposito di non peccare, non c'è il perdono dei peccati, né la remissione delle pene, che dei peccati sono conseguenza.FEDE CRISTIANA E PRATICA DELL'OMOSESSUALITÀÈ a questa luce che dobbiamo giudicare notizie, come quella della possibile partecipazione al Giubileo di "La Tenda di Gionata", un'associazione che pretende conciliare la fede cristiana con la pratica dell'omosessualità.Il pellegrinaggio era stato incluso sul sito del Giubileo tra le centinaia di eventi elencati per il 2025, ma dopo che molti siti cattolici hanno espresso la loro riprovazione per questa inclusione, che suonerebbe come una forma di approvazione ufficiale della cultura e della pratica LGBT da parte del Vaticano, la presenza ufficiale de "La Tenda di Gionata" è scomparsa dal calendario del sito ufficiale del Giubileo. Lo staff dell'Anno giubilare ha spiegato che la rimozione è avvenuta per una mancanza di dettagli forniti dagli organizzatori.In un'intervista all'Agenzia spagnola EFE, il 23 dicembre 2024, l'arcivescovo Rino Fisichella, pro-prefetto del dicastero per l'Evangelizzazione, responsabile dell'organizzazione dell'Anno Santo, ha dichiarato che "se un'associazione che fa pastorale per gli omosessuali vuole concretizzare questa esperienza di fede, penso che dovrebbe trovare il Giubileo preparato anche per loro". Lo stesso giorno, in una intervista a "il Giornale" mons. Fisichella ha affermato: "Il Giubileo appartiene al popolo, è per tutti, non si può negare a nessuno. Tra le molte richieste più svariate, ne abbiamo avuta una dall'associazione "La Tenda di Gionata". Tuttavia, dopo la richiesta verbale - inserita nel calendario - non avevamo la certezza della loro partecipazione; abbiamo quindi tolto la giornata dagli appuntamenti fino a quando l'associazione si è iscritta come tutti gli altri. A quel punto è stata reinserita nel calendario. Abbiamo agito in modo trasparente. Voglio anche dire che non si tratta di un Giubileo specifico per una categoria di persone; sono credenti che vogliono fare un'esperienza di fede. Mi domando chi potrebbe proibire loro un pellegrinaggio alla Porta santa".L'IMBARAZZANTE POSIZIONE DI MONS. FISICHELLANelle parole di mons. Fisichella si riscontra purtroppo la stessa perniciosa ambiguità della Dichiarazione Fiducia Supplicans del 18 dicembre 2023. La pratica dell'omosessualità è una gravissima trasgressione morale condannata dalla Sacra Scrittura e dal Magistero della Chiesa. Se un omosessuale si pente del proprio peccato e si confessa, può certamente varcare la Porta santa affidandosi alla misericordia di Dio per la remissione delle pene dovute ai propri peccati, ma non ha bisogno di farlo con clamore, e tantomeno in un gruppo organizzato. L'associazione "Tenda di Gionata" si presenta invece come un gruppo costituito per "allargare il sostegno e l'accoglienza della Chiesa verso le persone LGBT e verso ogni persona colpita da discriminazione" e sostiene notoriamente la compatibilità tra la fede cristiana e la pratica dell'omosessualità.La partecipazione ufficiale al Giubileo di un'associazione di omosessuali, che non ha come fine la loro conversione, ma che anzi giustifica la loro condotta, ha un chiaro intento strumentale: quello di lasciar credere che la Chiesa abbia mutato il suo giudizio sull'omosessualità. Per evitare queste strumentalizzazioni, ma soprattutto per il bene delle anime e per l'onore della Chiesa, chi ha la massima responsabilità organizzativa del Giubileo avrebbe il dovere di ribadire su questo punto e su tutti gli altri, l'incompatibilità che esiste tra l'Anno Santo e la trasgressione morale rivendicata come un diritto. Altrimenti si fa complice della violazione morale che omette di condannare,Il Giubileo non è la canonizzazione del peccato vissuto e rivendicato, ma l'occasione di convertirci a un cristianesimo autentico, perché, come ricorda il Salmo, solo i giusti entrano nella Porta del Signore.

Serena D'Italia, Simone Caldano"Piemonte rinascimentale"55 luoghi da scoprire e visitareEdizioni del Capricornowww.edizionidelcapricorno.it  «Era lontana la regione subalpina dai centri ove più vitale si svolgeva l'arte del Rinascimento» e le forme nuove «vi trovarono più ostacoli che altrove, essendo più inerte e più radicato il vecchio stile». Così nel 1911 scriveva il grande storico dell'arte Pietro Toesca. Il pregiudizio secondo cui il Rinascimento non interessò il Piemonte-la cui arte tra il XV e il XVI secolo sarebbe stata solo una parentesi trascurabile e passatista tra un glorioso Medioevo e la fiorente stagione barocca-ha avuto vita assai lunga. Il volume di Simone Caldano e Serena D'Italia (con la collaborazione di Michelangelo Giaccone e Laura Marino) sfata quella errata credenza e “sdogana” il Rinascimento piemontese, portando a testimonianza 55 luoghi che dimostrano come le novità rinascimentali centroitaliane siano state recepite appieno, in pittura (Giovanni Martino Spanzotti, Defendente Ferrari, Macrino d'Alba, Gaudenzio Ferrari, Gerolamo Giovenone, Bernardino Lanino) come in architettura, facendo convivere tutti gli elementi del Rinascimento tosco-romano con quelli della tradizione tardogotica e dell'Ars Nova fiamminga, dando vita a un dialogo unico e di grande fascino. Merito anche di una raffinata committenza. Un esempio fu l'arrivo a Chieri di due trittici di Roger van der Weyden, che influenzarono l'arte locale in modo duraturo.Nel prologo ci si sofferma su tre edifici di impianto gotico ma che contengono già echi rinascimentali (Santa Maria della Scala a Chieri, Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta a Chivasso e San Giovanni a Saluzzo), mentre nel capitolo conclusivo ci si sofferma su una serie di edifici manieristi che segnano il passaggio tra Rinascimento e Barocco (Santa Croce a Bosco Marengo, Palazzo Scaglia di Verrua a Torino, i Castelli Tapparelli d'Azeglio a Lagnasco, la Cappella di San Dalmazzo a Cigliè, San Gaudenzio a Novara e Palazzo del Maresco a Savigliano). Torino: Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista, Palazzo Madama (che custodisce anche la Madonna Tucher dello Spanzotti), Galleria Sabauda, il Castello di Vinovo, la Chiesa di San Giovanni ad Avigliana, la Chiesa di San Bernardino ad Ivrea (che ospita il ciclo di affreschi Storie della vita e della Passione di Cristo, il più noto capolavoro dello Spanzotti). Vercelli: San Cristoforo, Palazzo Centori, il Museo Borgogna, la Pinacoteca Arcivescovile, Santa Maria delle Grazie ed il Sacro Monte a Varallo. Biella: San Gerolamo, San Sebastiano, il Museo del Territorio, il Castello di Gaglianico. Novara: la Cattedrale, Santa Maria delle Grazie (oggi San Martino), Casa Tornielli di Nibbiola, già Canobio. Verbano Cusio Ossola: Palazzo Silva a Domodossola, San Gaudenzio a Baceno, il Santuario della Pietà a Cannobio, Madonna di Campagna a Verbania Pallanza, Santi Pietro e Paolo, a Crevoladossola. Alessandria: Santa Maria di Castello, Santuario di Santa Maria a Crea, cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta ad Acqui Terme, San Domenico e San Michele a Casale Monferrato. Asti: Santa Maria Assunta, San Secondo e Santa Maria Nuova ad Asti, Santa Maria Annunziata, a Roccaverano. Cuneo: Casa Cavassa a Saluzzo, la committenza dei marchesi di Saluzzo a Revello, Santa Maria Assunta ad Elva, il Castello degli Acaja a Fossano, San Giovanni ad Alba, San Lorenzo a Saliceto, la Cappella del Buon Gesù a San Michele Mondovì, la Cattedrale di Mondovì, la Certosa di Chiusa di Pesio.  Simone Caldano: Dottore di ricerca in Storia dell'architettura e dell'urbanistica, è stato assegnista in Storia dell'architettura presso le Università di Firenze e Roma, e docente presso l'Università di Ferrara. Con Capricorno ha pubblicato Piemonte medievale (2020), Liguria medievale (2022) e Il Piemonte che non c'è più (2023).Serena D'Italia: Dottoressa di ricerca in Storia del patrimonio archeologico e artistico, si occupa di pittura norditaliana ed europea dal Quattrocento al Seicento.

Paolo Rodari"Il mantello di RutFeltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itRoma, 1926. Remo ha appena dodici anni quando la madre lo lascia davanti all'ingresso del Seminario Pontificio, vicino alla basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano. Rimasta da poco vedova, con quattro figli da sfamare, non ha avuto altra scelta che affidarlo alla Chiesa.Nel 1943, mentre la città è occupata dai tedeschi, è un'altra madre a cambiare per sempre la vita di Remo. Un incontro che farà vacillare tutte le sue certezze. Lui è diventato il parroco di una chiesa nel quartiere Monti, accanto al Collegio dei Catecumeni. Lei è Rachele, giovane vedova che una notte, poco dopo il famigerato rastrellamento al Portico di Ottavia, gli affida la piccola Aida perché la prenda sotto il suo mantello e la protegga finché lei non sarà tornata. Remo e Aida la aspetteranno per anni. Ispirato a fatti realmente avvenuti durante la Shoah romana, quando venti bambine ebree riuscirono a salvarsi dalla deportazione grazie all'aiuto di un prete e di alcune suore che le nascosero in una stanza segreta – ancora oggi visitabile – ricavata sotto la cupola della chiesa della Madonna dei Monti, Il mantello di Rut, che nella Bibbia evoca fedeltà e protezione, è la struggente lettera che Remo, ormai anziano, decide di scrivere ad Aida per raccontarle di quei mesi. Una storia che si fa confessione di un amore impossibile e di uno straordinario atto di fede, perché la promessa fatta a Rachele segnerà il suo destino. Con mano sapiente e delicata, Paolo Rodari spinge il lettore a porsi una domanda cruciale: fino a che punto è giusto sacrificarsi per amore?“Lasciar andare, questo è amare. Nulla di meno, nulla di più.” Una giovane madre in trappola. Un amore impossibile.Una storia indimenticabile, ispirata a fatti realmente accaduti durante la Shoah romana.Paolo Rodari (Milano, 1973) è giornalista e scrittore. Dopo la laurea in Scienze Politiche presso l'Università Cattolica di Milano si è trasferito a Roma, dove ha ottenuto la licenza in Teologia fondamentale presso la Pontificia Università Gregoriana. Ha lavorato a “il Riformista” e “Il Foglio”, ed è stato per nove anni inviato e vaticanista a “la Repubblica”.

Finalmente abbiamo iniziato a goderci i nuovi spazi che, seppur ancora in modalità work in progress, vengono progressivamente inaugurati per il Giubileo. In questo episodio andiamo a fare le pulci alle quattro nuove piazze simbolo: Piazza Pia, Piazza Risorgimento e Via Ottaviano, San Giovanni, Piazza dei Cinquecento e Repubblica. Vogliamo capire quanto siano riuscite davvero bene e quanto, invece, si sarebbe potuto fare di più. Poi torniamo al nostro grande amore: la mobiltà. Un blocco interamente dedicato a quello che sta succedendo su autobus, piste ciclabili, metro e ferrovie. Sui tram ci pensiamo il mese prossimo! Contributi audio nella puntata di Mario Colamarino (Circolo di Cultura Omosessuale Mario Mieli), Giulia Mura (Superficial Studio), Carlo Tortorelli (Odissea Quotidiana), Paolo Arsena (Metrovia), Riccardo Pagano (Comitato MetroXRoma).FONTI Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!)https://uppbeat.io/browse/artist/sames Video dal canale Instagram del sindaco Roberto Gualtieri

Dai nostri archivi, un dibattito ispirato dalla decisione del cantautore Sangiovanni, maturata dopo il Festival di Sanremo del 2024: mettere in pausa la sua carriera musicale per concentrarsi sulla sua salute mentale.

Il corpo senza vita di un neonato, di circa un mese, è stato ritrovato questa mattina nella culla termica della chiesa San Giovanni Battista, nel quartiere Poggiofranco, a Bari. Secondo le prime indiscrezioni, chi lo ha lasciato non avrebbe chiuso la porta della stanza che custodisce la culla e questo non avrebbe fatto scattare l'allarme.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Italian author of Invisible Cities, If On A Winter's Night A Traveller, Cosmicomics and other celebrated novels, fables and short stories of the 20th Century. Calvino (1923 -1985) had a passionate belief that writing and art could make life better for everyone. Despite his parents being scientists, who dearly wanted him to be a scientist too, and his time fighting with the Partisans in Liguria in WWII during which his parents were held hostage by the Nazis, Calvino turned away from realism in his writing. Ideally, he said, he would have liked to be alive in the Enlightenment. He moved towards the fantastical, drawing on his childhood reading while collecting a huge number of the fables of Italy and translating them from dialect into Italian to enrich the shared culture of his fellow citizens. His fresh perspective on the novel continues to inspire writers and delight readers in Italian and in translations around the world.With Guido Bonsaver Professor of Italian Cultural History at the University of OxfordJennifer Burns Professor of Italian Studies at the University of WarwickAndBeatrice Sica Associate Professor in Italian Studies at UCLProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list: Elio Baldi, The Author in Criticism: Italo Calvino's Authorial Image in Italy, the United States, and the United Kingdom (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2020)Elio Baldi and Cecilia Schwartz, Circulation, Translation and Reception Across Borders: Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities Around the World (Routledge, 2024)Peter Bondanella and Andrea Ciccarelli (eds.), The Cambridge Companion to the Italian Novel (Cambridge University Press, 2003), especially the chapter ‘Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco: Postmodern Masters'James Butler, ‘Infinite Artichoke' (London Review of Books, vol. 45, no. 12, 15 June 2023)Italo Calvino (trans.

11/6/24 - Domenico da Cese was a priest and Cappuchin friar. He showed signs of a special gift from a young age, correctly predicting an impending earthquake on the day of its occurrence at the age of nine. After becoming a priest in October of 1931, he would eventually travel to San Giovanni and become a close friend of Pio of Pietrelcina, known popularly as Padre Pio. Some years later, he would have his first contact with the Shroud of the Holy Face of Manoppello, eventually committing to sharing the devotion of that Holy Face with as many people as possible.

In this episode, the FAQ is: What should I tell people who think I can't travel solo?   Today's Destination is Lake Como, Italy Today's Misstep: Sometimes, you don't love your roommates when you share a room. Here's why.   Travel Advice: Don't buy another timeshare. If you have one, it's really hard to sell it.   FAQ: What do I tell people who think I can't travel solo?   Answer: Ask them why not. Then listen. Then, address each one of their questions or comments if you like. No one says you need permission to travel solo, but it would be good to tell them you are prepared, have planned for things to go wrong, and have taken this travel step by step to be more likely to be successful. They may be telling you in a way that they will miss you, but don't know how to say that. They could also be jealous. They could wish they could make this trip themselves. So there could be a lot of hidden reasons why they have those opinions.   Today's destination: Lake Como, Italy   Lake Como, Italy, was a quick train ride from Milan, Italy.    On a hot day, about 95 degrees Fahrenheit,  I ventured to Lake Como to cool down. I went there solo for three days, staying in town at a hostel that cost me $150 a night for a “middle bunk.” That was the most I paid for sleeping anywhere around the world. It did have a bathroom with a shower en suite.   It may have been less costly if I had booked earlier than two weeks in advance. Either way, here's some advice if you are heading there.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Como_San_Giovanni_railway_station It was a quick walk from the Como San Giovanni train station to town, so you don't need a car here if you stay in the main city. The lake is a breathtaking view from wherever you are, so the water keeps you cool, even on a boat. Buy the all-day ferry ticket if you can stay for the day. https://lakecomotravel.com/boat-tours-ferry-lake-como/   https://www.navigazionelaghi.it/en/services/disabled-accessibility-and-prm/   Explore all the ferries and see the episode's notes with links, including accessibility information for getting on and off the ferries.   I spent a full day on a ferry tour of the lake, three hours north at its furthest and with more than one tributary. I got off at Menagio and found a paid private club called Lido, but I did not swim there. A few minutes later, while swimming, I met a family from Denmark at a free swim spot. I walked the town and had Nutella-flavored gelato. I then Took the ferry to Varenna. I walked the town.  Then, I took another Ferry to Bellagio. The line was too long to get back on, so I stayed on board. I got off later in the smaller town. I met another couple from Germany. They agreed it was dreadfully Hot. I Stopped to cool my feet in the sea at Argegno—thunderstorms in the morning. I walked to town.  https://www.explorelakecomo.com/go/lido-di-argegno#google_vignette I met a girl from Munich and her friend, who took a photo of me with some flowers.  Bellagio has the George Clooney Villa. Most of the music I hear is American pop, not Italian.   https://www.bellagiolakecomo.com/en/bellagio-lake-como-italy/poi-points-of-interest/public-transport-lake-como The lake is carved into a deep canyon. The hills above can be accessed by a special bus-like on rails called a Funicular.   I took the Lake Como Funicular at 7:15 pm, running every 30 minutes until midnight. I highly recommend you do this and give yourself time at the top. The views are stunning, and there's a lot to explore here. It connects Como to the town of Brunate. The trip lasts 7 minutes and reaches the maximum allowed gradient of 55%—so that's steep! The fee is small: only 3 euros (4 dollars) for a single journey and 5,50 euros (7 dollars) for a round trip. So worth it!   When leaving the train station, notice the sculpture of large human hands nearby. It is beautiful and dedicated to disabled service people. One hand is healthy,, and one is wounded.    https://www.explorelakecomo.com/go/monumento-ai-caduti-per-servizio Also, I noticed a little bit of Las Vegas here; inside the train station, there was mini gambling, like in Las Vegas. Ironically, there's a hotel in Las Vegas that's called Bellagio.  Today's Misstep: You don't always love your roommates, right?    I went to bed by 9 p.m. because I was busy the next day. My bed was the middle bunk, and there were 5 in the room booked. At 11 p.m., two girls arrived and talked in street voices. I asked them to quiet down nicely. They did not. I finally did get to sleep, but it was rude of them to wake others with their voices and chatter. Would you agree?   Today's Travel Advice: Don't buy a timeshare or another one. If you have one, it's tough to sell it.   We got conned when we tried to sell our timeshare, so don't let that happen to you. We only lost a few thousand dollars, but it was a warning. These are not easy to sell. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If they ask you for money, walk away. Timeshares are hard to navigate to use your week. I spend hours each year trying to book one, and it's very frustrating.   I want to bring meaning to your future travels. Sign up for the Dr. Travelbest newsletter.

Francesco Bianchini"Tra Paolo e Giovanni"Studi sui testi paolini e giovannei e sui loro rapportiEDB Edizioni Dehoniane Bolognawww.dehoniane.itIl rapporto tra le varie tradizioni neotestamentarie aiuta a comprendere meglio il cristianesimo dei primi secoli. Il volume si propone, in maniera originale per il panorama italiano, di studiare il rapporto tra i testi paolini e quelli giovannei. Questo non significa semplicemente rilevare il dato proveniente dalla struttura canonica del Nuovo Testamento, ma piuttosto mostrare gli elementi che le due tradizioni hanno in comune rispetto a tutti gli altri libri neotestamentari e che possono far pensare a una relazione particolare tra i due corpora. Dal punto di vista storico, tali legami sono motivati dal fatto che molto probabilmente ad Efeso, nell'ultima parte del I secolo, il cristianesimo paolino e quello giovanneo sono entrati in contatto.Francesco Bianchini ha conseguito il dottorato in Scienze bibliche al Pontificio Istituto Biblico.
