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.

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

Silvana La Spina"Un rebus per Leonardo Sciascia"Marsilio Editoriwwwm.marsilioeditori.itNel settembre del 1985, a Leonardo Sciascia capitano due cose: la morte di Italo Calvino nell'Ospedale di Siena, e la morte di Aurelio Arriva, giudice, in casa sua. Una pistolettata: suicidio, dicono. Il giudice e lo scrittore siciliano, amici fin dall'infanzia, avevano litigato e non si parlavano da tempo. Qualcuno, in paese, continuava a dire per invidia; qualcun altro insinuava che l'invidia non c'entrava niente, era Sciascia che non avrebbe dovuto mettere l'amico in un libro – anzi, continuava quel qualcuno, Sciascia della Sicilia non avrebbe dovuto proprio parlare. Leonardo Sciascia, dal canto suo, sosteneva che le grandi amicizie, come i grandi amori, sono come le piante: a un certo punto si seccano, e nessuno può farci niente. Era successo con Guttuso, e forse stava succedendo pure con Vincenzo Consolo. Tuttavia, nonostante, in paese, gli inquirenti pensino che la morte del giudice Arriva sia dovuta a un suicidio e nonostante il tutto sia accaduto, come una disgrazia, un malaugurio, durante la festa della Madonna Bambina, Elena Arriva, la figlia del giudice morto, bella e bionda come certe madonne lombarde, si presenta a casa dello scrittore – la gloria, il vanto del luogo, l'uomo che passeggia a braccetto con Claudia Cardinale – per chiedergli di indagare sulla morte del padre. Elena non crede all'ipotesi del suicidio, e Sciascia è l'unico che di suo padre sa tutto. In una sarabanda di dicerie, malevolenze, lettere anonime che ricordano le righe minatorie di A ciascuno il suo, in un turbine di fatti di corna, disgrazie passate, presenti e future, donne vecchie e donne fatali, scrittori benevoli e altri invidiosi, cause perse e altre fatte perdere, un circolo di gentiluomini che non sempre lo sono e un pubblico ministero che torna a indagare là dove è stato bambino, Silvana La Spina, con una lingua pastosa e spinosa quanto un fico d'India, racconta Leonardo Sciascia e il suo mondo, facendone un investigatore acuto, curioso e pieno di pietà per le miserie degli uomini. Un romanzo avvincente e scuro.Silvana La Spina è nata in Veneto da padre siciliano. Da molti anni vive tra Milano e Catania, e la Sicilia è alla base di quasi tutti i suoi romanzi. Tra gli ultimi, ricordiamo: La bambina pericolosa (Mondadori 2008), Un cadavere eccellente (Mondadori 2011), La continentale (Mondadori 2014), L'uomo che veniva da Messina (Giunti 2015), L'uomo del Viceré (Neri Pozza 2021), Angelica (Neri Pozza 2022), L'ombra dei Beati Paoli (Neri Pozza 2024).

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.

Il 7 febbraio Terna, il soggetto che in Italia sviluppa e gestisce la trasmissione dell’energia, ha iniziato la posa del cavo elettrico sottomarino più profondo del mondo: collegherà il sud della Sardegna all’area di Palermo, in Sicilia, per poi proseguire fino alla Campania. Il Tyrrhenian Link - questo il nome del nuovo collegamento - sarà costituito da un doppio cavo lungo 970 km con una capacità di 1000 MW, e servirà sia a favorire il trasferimento di energia rinnovabile dalle isole al continente, sia a garantire una maggiore sicurezza di approvvigionamento elettrico delle isole, anche grazie alla possibilità di invertire quasi istantaneamente il flusso di corrente. La posa di questi cavi sottomarini speciali, che pesano 40 kg per metro, è una delle opere di ingegneria più sofisticate e multidisciplinari e noi ne parliamo con Francesco Perda, Project manager Thyrrenian Link.

Francesca Avanzini"Non lontano da qui"Edizioni Lapiswww.edizionilapis.itUn romanzo che intreccia passato e presente per raccontare la Resistenza e il valore della memoria. Mino ha tredici anni e fatica ad accettare la morte della nonna Celina, medico in prima linea nelle missioni umanitarie. Il suo ricordo è ancora vivo, ma il dolore lo tiene prigioniero. Luce, nuova arrivata in classe, porta con sé la sua unicità: vestiti larghi e colorati, un taccuino di poesie e un grande amore per la natura. Tutta questa stranezza viene subito presa di mira dalle compagne ma, anche grazie a Mino, le frecciatine svaniscono e Luce comincia a orientarsi in quel nuovo mondo. Le strade dei due ragazzi si incrociano a più riprese e giorno dopo giorno Mino e Luce rafforzano il loro legame trovando parole, gesti e momenti per aprirsi e conoscersi.Sarà la professoressa Saracchi a dare loro una direzione con un compito speciale: scoprire la storia del quartiere, andando oltre i libri e parlando con la gente.Proprio durante questo lavoro Mino si imbatte in una targa commemorativa su un palazzo vicino casa. Il nome inciso è quello di Salvatore Principato, maestro elementare e antifascista, ucciso dai fascisti nella strage di Piazzale Loreto nel 1944.Per saperne di più, il ragazzo si rivolge a Leandro, il libraio-cartolaio della zona, custode di storie e memoria. Sarà lui a raccontargli la vicenda di Principato. Per Mino questa scoperta diventa più di un semplice compito: scavando nel passato del maestro, si interroga sulle scelte della nonna e sul perché alcune persone siano disposte a rischiare tutto per i propri ideali. Attraverso il racconto di Leandro, comprende che la Storia non è solo qualcosa da studiare, non solo un insieme di date e avvenimenti lontani, ma una bussola per capire sé stessi e il mondo, ponendoci domande profonde sulle scelte, sul coraggio e sulle ingiustizie di ieri e di oggi.Salvatore Principato (1892-1944) è stato un maestro elementare e partigiano italiano, attivo nella Resistenza contro il nazifascismo. Nato in Sicilia, si trasferì a Milano, dove si dedicò all'insegnamento e all'impegno politico. Convinto antifascista, fu sorvegliato speciale per la sua attività di diffusione della stampa clandestina socialista.Durante l'occupazione nazifascista, aderì alla Resistenza milanese con il nome di battaglia “Socrate”. Arrestato dai fascisti, fu fucilato il 10 agosto 1944 insieme ad altri quattordici partigiani nella strage di Piazzale Loreto, un atto di rappresaglia contro il movimento di liberazione. Dopo la sua morte, la moglie Marcella Chiorri e la figlia Titti continuarono l'attività partigiana fino alla caduta del regime, portando avanti il suo impegno per la giustizia e la libertà.La sua storia è un simbolo di coraggio e dedizione ai valori democratici, e il suo sacrificio rimane una testimonianza fondamentale della lotta per la libertà in Italia.Francesca Avanzini è nata e cresciuta a Milano. Laureata in Lettere moderne all'Università di Pavia, ha studiato e lavorato a Parigi, città alla quale è rimasta molto legata. Oggi vive a Milano con la sua famiglia e si occupa di progetti digitali per la scuola.Appassionata di cinema, cucina e lettura ad alta voce, ama scrivere e camminare.
