Anche oggi trasmettiamo in diretta da Trento in occasione della ventesima edizione del Festival dell’Economia. In studio per fare un punto su dazi e prospettive globali c’è Giuliano Noci, professore al Politecnico di Milano, prorettore del polo territoriale cinese dell’ateneo, esperto di strategie globali e innovazione e autore di “Disordine. Le nuove coordinate del mondo", edito dal Sole 24 Ore, in libreria proprio da oggi. Domenica e lunedì elezioni amministrative in diverse località italiane. Sentiamo Betta Fiorito, nostra giornalista parlamentare. Dal 5 luglio la Senna tornerà ufficialmente balneabile. E Parigi dichiara anche guerra ai mozziconi di sigaretta annunciando multe salate e distribuendo 400mila posacenere tascabili. Ci colleghiamo con Danilo Ceccarelli, nostro collaboratore di base nella capitale francese. Le anticipazioni di Nessun luogo è lontano con Giampaolo Musumeci.

Ha preso il via a Trento il Festival dell'Economia, che celebra la sua ventesima edizione e i 160 anni del Sole 24 Ore. Il tema di quest'anno è “Rischi e scelte fatali. L'Europa al bivio”. L'evento, organizzato dal Gruppo 24 Ore e Trentino Marketing con il supporto delle istituzioni locali, si tiene dal 22 al 25 maggio. Nella giornata inaugurale, presenti cinque ministri tra cui Tajani, Giorgetti, Santanchè e Crosetto, e figure di rilievo come Caltagirone, Tremonti, Tronchetti Provera e Andrea Illy. La giornata si chiude con la cerimonia inaugurale e un intervento del cardinale Ravasi. Il Festival ospita 6 Premi Nobel e oltre 290 relatori tra economisti, accademici, imprenditori e rappresentanti delle istituzioni. Al centro, il futuro dell'Europa in un contesto geopolitico segnato da conflitti, crisi economiche e leadership deboli. Il ritorno di Trump alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti ha rappresentato una svolta storica, aprendo a scenari di grandi cambiamenti: il ritorno del potere degli Stati, la globalizzazione che difficilmente ritornerà almeno come l'abbiamo conosciuta, lo sviluppo del commercio internazionale che dovrà fare i conti con una nuova era di dazi e protezionismo. Altrettanto certa è la polarizzazione sempre più evidente tra Stati Uniti e Cina, con l'Europa sempre di più un vaso di coccio tra due vasi di ferro, costretta a fare i conti con la Germania in recessione, le difficoltà sempre più evidenti della Francia e la drammatica mancanza di leadership adeguate. Il tutto in uno scenario che vede la geopolitica imporsi come variabile determinante, con una sessantina di guerre in corso e le lacerazioni indotte dal conflitto in Ucraina e dalla carneficina in Medio Oriente. Intervengono Marco Magnani, professore di International Economics alla LUISS Guido Carli e Giuliano Noci - Professore ordinario in Ingegneria Economico-Gestionale, insegna Strategia & Marketing presso il Politecnico di Milano. Dal 2011 è Prorettore del Polo territoriale cinese dell'Ateneo milanese.Consob, sospesa l'ops Unicredit su Banco BpmColpo di scena nell'Ops lanciata da UniCredit su Banco Bpm: la Consob ha accolto la richiesta di sospensiva dell'operazione per 30 giorni, riconoscendo la presenza di nuovi elementi emersi dopo l'avvio dell'offerta.

I prossimi 30 giorni serviranno a valutare le alternative, incluso un ricorso al TAR o eventuali nuove strategie di mercato, tra cui possibili mosse su Mediobanca o Generali. Intanto, Banco Bpm ha annunciato l'intenzione di impugnare il provvedimento Consob, aprendo un nuovo fronte nella già complessa operazione. Ne parliamo con Alberto Grassani, Il Sole 24 Ore.

This week on Live Life in Motion, I'm joined by Giacomo Campus, owner of Sole Espresso Bar in Greenville, SC. Originally from a small town outside of Milan, Giacomo came to the U.S. as a teenager through tennis.

The coffee beans are sourced straight from Italy, and his mission is simple: serve great espresso the Italian way.

Send us a textExtraordinary wine bargains emerge during challenging economic times, and the Co-Pilots Carneros Chardonnay 2023 from Trader Joe's exemplifies this rare opportunity. Priced at just $7.99, this single-vineyard Chardonnay from the prestigious Napa side of Carneros delivers quality that defies its humble price tag.The wine industry's current struggles - with sales down nearly double digits and major producers like Duckhorn discontinuing brands - have created a perfect storm for budget-conscious wine enthusiasts. Fior di Sole, a respected family-owned Napa winery, has produced this remarkable Chardonnay that showcases typical American oak influence with appealing vanilla notes and bright lemon curd flavors. What makes this wine particularly special is how the flavor profile evolves with each sip, a hallmark of quality winemaking typically reserved for bottles costing five to ten times more.Carneros, straddling both Napa and Sonoma counties along the San Pablo Bay, is renowned for producing world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Wines from this region typically command premium prices from $50 to well over $100, making this $7.99 offering truly exceptional. The adorable label featuring a dog wearing a World War II fighter pilot's leather helmet adds charm to what's already an incredible value proposition. If you appreciate quality wine at bargain prices, this is the moment to act - these economic anomalies in the wine market are fleeting, and once this inventory sells through, similar opportunities may not appear until the next market correction.

Nature lovers and photographers alike will be amazed by its dramatic 165-meter drop. The region is also home to Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, one of Italy's most revered saints, and a major pilgrimage destination.Food lovers will delight in Umbria's hearty, earthy cuisine, featuring lentils, mushroom-based dishes, cured meats, and the prized black truffle (Tartufo Nero di Norcia). Pair these specialties with a glass of Sagrantino di Montefalco, a robust red wine unique to the region.Umbria's culinary excellence is further reflected in its four Michelin-starred restaurants: Casa Vissani, Vespasia, Ada, and Elementi. Each holds one Michelin star, offering refined takes on the region's rustic flavors.Tourissimo Tip–Norcia is definitely one of Italy's culinary gems: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/norcia-one-of-italys-culinary-gemsMarcheLocated in central Italy on the Adriatic side, Marche is a beautiful region with a population of 1 million people, known for its charming towns, rich history, and welcoming, hardworking culture.

Food lovers shouldn't miss Arrosticini, the region's famous grilled lamb skewers, or a glass of bold Montepulciano d'Abruzzo red wine. Outdoor enthusiasts have countless opportunities for adventure, from swimming at the Stiffe Caves and strolling the Ponte del Mare to relaxing on the beaches of Riserva Naturale Guidata Punta Aderci and hiking to the iconic Rocca Calascio.

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.

Highlights include the awe-inspiring Valley of the Temples, the active volcano Mount Etna, the stunning Duomo di Cefalù, and the picturesque islands of Stromboli, Bella, and Ortigia. The region is also home to the renowned Baroque Triangle in the Val di Noto region of southeastern Sicily, where the eight towns of Caltagirone, Militello Val di Catania, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa, and Scicli have been recognized by UNESCO for their outstanding examples of late Baroque architecture.Sicily's culinary scene is just as impressive. Indulge in traditional Sicilian cannoli, filled with sheep's milk ricotta cheese and always stuffed fresh to order. Take a street food tour to savor local favorites like arancini, and don't miss sipping on a glass of Nero d'Avola, one of Sicily's most famous wines. The region is also internationally celebrated for its top-tier agriculture and winemaking.For a taste of authentic Italian charm beyond the tourist trail, explore the towns featured in I Borghi Più Belli d'Italia—Italy's list of its most beautiful hidden gems.

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.

«Rammarico» è la parola usata ieri sia dal ministero della Salute che dalle Regioni dopo la mancata intesa sul decreto che definisce i poteri sostitutivi di Roma in caso di gravi irregolarità nella gestioni delle liste d attesa. Un parola che nasconde in realtà un clamoroso scontro istituzionale sull emergenza numero uno della Sanità - le liste d attesa appunto - che dopo settimane di tensione è deflagrato ieri in Conferenza Stato Regioni dove il Governo ha deciso di andare avanti con il Dpcm sui poteri sostitutivi che consentirà al ministero di sostituirsi alle Regioni in caso di gravi inadempienze. I governatori hanno chiesto in extremis un rinvio per trovare una soluzione condivisa, ma - come anticipato dal Sole 24 ore - il Governo per bocca del sottosegretario alla Salute Marcello Gemmato ha deciso di tirare dritto. E ora la procedura per «mancata intesa» con le regioni prevede un periodo di 30 giorni durante i quali si potrà tentare una ultima difficile mediazione e in caso negativo il ministero della Salute potrà portare in consiglio dei ministri il decreto e vararlo lo stesso. Interviene Marzio Bartoloni, Il Sole 24 Ore

Story at-a-glance Cigar and smokeless tobacco users faced significantly higher risks of stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death, even without any history of cigarette use, according to a large-scale U.S. analysis Sole users of smokeless tobacco had a 70% higher risk of heart failure and a 66% increased risk of dying from coronary heart disease, demonstrating that these products are not “safer alternatives” Tobacco harms your cardiovascular system, as it damages the endothelium, increases oxidative stress, impairs oxygen delivery, and promotes clot formation, even in brief or secondhand exposures Other studies have confirmed that all tobacco products deliver carcinogens and cause gene-level disruptions tied to respiratory symptoms and increased mortality Quitting requires targeting both nicotine addiction and behavioral triggers. Replacing routines, setting boundaries, and supporting detox pathways improve your chances of breaking the cycle for good

First in a double podcast about the Golden Age of Piracy, with historian Marcus Rediker. The legendary pirates of this era weren't just thieves—they were daring rebels challenging the very systems of power and authority of their time. Fighting every colonial empire, and creating their own ways of living free from authority, pirates became symbols of liberty and resistance to working-class and poor people everywhere.  Our podcast is brought to you by our patreon supporters.
