Stāsta Latvijas Nacionālā mākslas muzeja Kolekciju glabātāja Aija Zandersone; pārraides producente – Inta Zēgnere Pirmā pasaules kara gados Jāzepa Grosvalda bezrūpīgajai Eiropas pleiboja dzīvei tika pielikts punkts. Dažādie likteņa līkloči Grosvaldu aizdeva uz latviešu strēlnieku rindām, vēlāk – galveno artilērijas pārvaldi Petrogradā, kopējo kara gadu noskaņojumu rezumējot ar šo rindu: “Apnikusi šī dzīve, apnicis karš, apnikusi revolūcija – vai liktenis nebūtu tik laipns drusku palīdzēt?” Un liktenis palīdzēja. Pateicoties nejauši satiktam dienesta biedram, kurš devās uz apmācībām Francijā, un Jāzepa joka pēc izteiktajai vēlmei doties līdzi, viņam pavērās iespēja atkal nokļūt Eiropā. Francijā Grosvalds klausījās priekšlasījumus par tolaik karā lietotajām indīgajām gāzēm, piedalījās izmēģinājumos un ārpus tiem atkal centās pietuvoties savai pirmskara dzīvei. Kad mācības bija noslēgušās, viņš kopā ar biedriem nokļuva Londonā un bija skaidrs, ka atgriešanās revolūcijas plosītajā Krievijā nebija vēlama: “Mans nodoms te palikt un te kaut kur iestāties, esmu gatavs uz visu.” Grosvalds centās iestāties diplomātiskajā dienestā – dibināja kontaktus ar pareizajiem cilvēkiem, kādam izlūkdienesta darbiniekam tulkoja rakstus no avīzes “Līdums” par latviešu stāvokli un vēlmēm, taču bez skaidriem panākumiem. Angļu pavēlniecība Londonā palikušajiem krievu armijas virsniekiem lika izšķirties un kaut ko darīt, kā vienu no iespējām piedāvājot iestāties īpašā krievu kareivju nodaļā Mezopotāmijas frontē. Nedaudz pasvārstījies, bet labāku izeju nerazdams, Jāzeps Grosvalds pieņēma šo likteņa pavērsienu. Jau paredzot jauno iespaidu nozīmi, viņš iepirka krāsas un skiču grāmatiņas un pat ņēma bandžo stundas, kas palīdzētu tikt galā ar paredzamo garlaicību garajā kuģa ceļā. Saglabājis ticību “kā vienmēr, savai laimei, kas līdz šim vienmēr attaisnojusi visus lēmumus un soļus,” mākslinieks devās ceļā no Londonas uz Šerbūru Francijā, tad ar vilcienu cauri Francijas un Itālijas teritorijai līdz Taranto pilsētai Itālijas dienvidos, no kurienes ar tvaikoni pārcēlās uz Aleksandriju Ēģiptē. Tālākais ceļš veda uz Suecu un atkal tvaikonī pa Sarkano jūru, Indijas okeānu un Persijas līci. “Zīmēju visu laiku. Tu vari iedomāties, kādas jaunas senzācijas,” tā jau pēc piedzīvotā rakstīja Jāzeps. Ir saglabājušās vairākas skiču burtnīcas un daudzi akvareļgleznojumi, kurus skatot dažkārt aizmirstas, ka šis nav bijis viss labi situēta mākslinieka eksotisks atpūtas brauciens, bet gan karagājiens Britu impērijas armijas sastāvā ar noteiktu fizisku un arī emocionālu nastu. Neiedziļinoties militārās vēstures lappusēs un skatienu vēršot Grosvalda Austrumu realitātes vērojumā un atstātajās piezīmēs, līdz ar Grosvalda ceļu cauri Persijai pavērās arī jauna nodaļa Grosvalda daiļradē. Piedzīvojuma rezultātā radās Latvijas mākslas vēsturē unikālās piezīmes “Persijas ainas”, kurās atklājas latviešu mākslinieka skatījums uz vietējo tautu un kopienu sadzīvi, tradīcijām un pieredzēto skarbo realitāti. Un vienlaikus tie parāda neslēptu interesi un Grosvalda vērotāja aci. “Persijas ainas” iesākas, kad armijas korpuss bija nonācis mūsdienu Irākas un Irānas pierobežā, un noslēdzas Anzalī ostā, no kurienes tālākais ceļš veda uz Baku, kas bija šīs militārās misijas mērķis. Tās aptver gandrīz 900 km garu ceļu, kura lielākā daļa ieta kājām un ar kamieļu un ēzeļu palīdzību “šai zemē, kur dzelzceļa nepazīst.” No dzīvniekiem tieši kamieļi piesaistīja īpašu autora uzmanību: “Kādu dzīvnieka karikatūru gan daba izgudrojusi, radot šo ķēmīgo kupraino milzi ar strausa kaklu un pērtiķa galvu! Bet ar visu to acis, grotesko lūpu izteiksme un lepni atmestā galva bezkaunīgi atgādina cilvēku.” Asā vērotāja acs pievērsās gan nepierastajām ainavām (“Peizāži – sarkanbrūni kalni ar drupām un zilas grēdas fonā, sakumā atgādina Spāniju, bet tad pavisam savādi, groteski un persiski, ļoti spici jeb ļoti apaļi kalni bez veģetācijas, tikai ar melniem punktiem, maziem viršu krūmiņiem.”) gan Austrumu pilsētu centrālajam elementam – tirgum (“Katras orienta pilsētas centrs ir bazārs, plašu, velvjainu gaiteņu labirints, kas dod patvērumu no saules un kur no abām pusēm smaiļarku nišās sarindotas pārdotavas un amatnieku darbnīcas. Dienas laikā šī tirgotāju pilsēta uzsūc visus iedzīvotājus – tur satiekas, apmeklē cits citu, kārto darījumus.”) Pierakstītos iespaidus papildina tik pat izteiksmīgi zīmējumi, kuros atklājas pilsētu ikdiena, vietējie iedzīvotāji, tējnīcas, ubagi un bada cietēji, tirgus interjeri un kalnainā ainava. Tās ir kopumā reālistiskas ainas, tomēr ne bez zināmas romantizētas eksotikas. Vēlāk, jau atgriezies Eiropā, Grosvalds apkopoja Austrumu cikla zīmējumus un, ņemot talkā atmiņas, uzgleznoja trīs eļļas gleznas ar Austrumu motīviem. 1920. gada 28. janvārī Parīzē, Grand Palais zālē tika atklāta Neatkarīgo mākslinieku biedrības (Salon des Indépendant) izstāde, kur skatītāji varēja iepazīties ar šīm gleznām. Diemžēl, Jāzeps Grosvalds izstādes atklāšanā nepiedalījās. Vien dažas dienas vēlāk, 1920. gada 1. februārī spāņu gripas otrajā vilnī aprāvās jaunā mākslinieka dzīve.

Un documento degli industriali ipotizza un destino differente per l'area genovese e di Novi Ligure rispetto a Taranto: il sindaco Rocchino Muliere esprime dubbi, chiede chiarimenti e sollecita convocazione di sindacati e istituzioni per comprendere quale direzione verrà intrapresa.

On the night of November 11, 1940, the HMS Illustrious launched two waves of Swordfish torpedo bombers against the Italian fleet anchored at Taranto. Despite losing formation in the clouds and facing intense anti-aircraft fire, the British pilots pressed home their attacks against the Italian battleships. When the smoke cleared, three battleships—the Littorio, Conti di Cavour, and Duilio—had been torpedoed and damaged, with the Cavour never returning to service. This episode covers the dramatic night attack, the damage inflicted on the Italian fleet, and the aftermath that shifted the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean while providing a glimpse of the future of carrier-based warfare.

Full Text of Readings Friday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 333 The Saint of the day is Saint Giles Mary of Saint Joseph Saint Giles Mary of Saint Joseph's Story In the same year that a power-hungry Napoleon Bonaparte led his army into Russia, Saint Giles Mary of Saint Joseph ended a life of humble service to his Franciscan community and to the citizens of Naples. Francesco was born in Taranto to very poor parents. His father's death left the 18-year-old Francesco to care for the family. Having secured their future, he entered the Friars Minor at Galatone in 1754. For 53 years, he served at St. Paschal's Hospice in Naples in various roles, such as cook, porter, or most often as official beggar for that community. “Love God, love God” was Saint Giles Mary of Saint Joseph's characteristic phrase as he gathered food for the friars and shared some of his bounty with the poor—all the while consoling the troubled and urging everyone to repent. The charity which he reflected on the streets of Naples was born in prayer and nurtured in the common life of the friars. The people whom Giles Mary met on his begging rounds nicknamed him the “Consoler of Naples.” He was canonized in 1996. Reflection People often become arrogant and power hungry when they forget their own sinfulness and ignore the gifts God has given to other people. Giles Mary had a healthy sense of his own sinfulness—not paralyzing but not superficial either. He invited men and women to recognize their own gifts and to live out their dignity as people made in God's divine image. Knowing someone like Giles Mary can help us on our own spiritual journey.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In November 1940, the Royal Navy launched one of the most audacious carrier operations of the Second World War—a nighttime air attack on the Italian fleet anchored at Taranto. This episode explores the planning and preparations behind Operation Judgement, examining why Admiral Cunningham and his Mediterranean fleet turned to airpower when traditional fleet engagements proved elusive. From the capabilities of the seemingly obsolete Fairey Swordfish biplane and its torpedoes to the Italian defenses protecting their prized battleships, this episode sets the stage for an attack that would fundamentally shift the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean and foreshadow the future of carrier-based warfare.

Cosa significa oggi scegliere di diventare una società benefit?E quali responsabilità concrete comporta questa decisione, oltre alle dichiarazioni di principio?In questa puntata di Clorofilla Podcast, registrata live durante la tredicesima edizione del Salone della CSR e dell'Innovazione Sociale, Davide Franzago, Enrico Chiari e Leonardo Feletto dialogano con Claudia Sanesi, avvocata e consulente, da anni impegnata sul tema delle società benefit e della governance della sostenibilità.Con lei facciamo chiarezza su cosa distingue davvero una società benefit da un'azienda “tradizionale”: il ruolo dello statuto, l'obbligo di perseguire finalità di beneficio comune, la necessità di rendicontare in modo coerente e il rischio, sempre presente, di ridurre tutto a una semplice etichetta. La conversazione affronta anche i numeri delle società benefit in Italia, le motivazioni che spingono sempre più imprese a fare questa scelta e le criticità di un modello che richiede impegno continuo, trasparenza e responsabilità, non scorciatoie reputazionali.Un episodio utile per chi vuole capire cosa c'è davvero dietro una delle forme giuridiche più discusse della sostenibilità d'impresa.▪️ Claudia Sanesihttps://www.csreinnovazionesociale.it/relatore/sanesi-claudia/▪️ Il Salone della CSR e dell'Innovazione Socialehttps://www.csreinnovazionesociale.it/

Scioperi e blocchi stradali dei lavoratori dell'ex-Ilva, a Genova come a Taranto, dove è stato proclamato uno sciopero ad oltranza. I sindacati temono che il piano proposto dal Governo e dai commissari sia solamente una lenta agonia.Ne parliamo con ospiti ed ascoltatori.

Continuing our mini series on the fascinating maritime history of Malta, we jump several centuries forward to the Second World War, in which Malta, an isolated rock in the middle of the Mediterranean, suddenly found itself at the very heart of the war. To the north the Italians were flexing their naval muscles; to the south the Germans had invaded North Africa; to the east and west ran a crucial maritime artery of global trade and military movement between Gibraltar and Suez. To find out more about Malta's strategic importance during World War II Dr Sam Willis visits the National War Museum in Fort St Elmo and speaks with Keith Gatt, curator of Malta's WWII history at Heritage Malta. They discuss how Malta's central Mediterranean location made it crucial for controlling sea lanes and interfering with Axis convoys. The island faced severe air and naval attacks, with over 6,000 tons of bombs dropped in April 1942 alone. Key events include the Taranto raid in 1940, the 10th submarine flotilla's operations, and the pivotal Operation Pedestal in August 1942. The discussion also highlights the human cost, with around 1,500 civilian casualties. Sam goes on to explore numerous artefacts recovered from the war with Curtis Callus, the museum's Assistant Curator. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Not everyone visiting Puglia wants to go it alone. Some travellers prefer the security and structure of a guided experience. It allows for connection — with the people, places, and traditions that make Puglia so special. And sometimes, having someone local by your side can open doors you'd never find alone. For travellers who don't want to drive around Puglia but also don't want the challenge of using public transport to reach harder-to-access corners of the region, guided travel offers the perfect solution. We speak with Luca Oliva of Puglia With Locals, a specialist travel designer and certified tour leader from Taranto, Puglia.  For more information, check out our recommendations for guided travel in Puglia page.  Remember to follow us on Instagram for reels, stories, and daily inspiration.

In an episode that is more befitting of George Orwell's 1984 than an American government in 2025, the Trump administration has retaliated against two federal prosecutors at the the DC US Attorney's Office for putting truthful, relevant, and necessary information into a court filing.The prosecutors filed a Sentencing Memorandum, as is usual in every case in which a defendant has been convicted. The sentencing memo read in part: "the defendant, Taylor Franklin Taranto, perpetrated a hoax on June 28, 2023, by falsely claiming that he would cause a car bomb to drive into the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The next day, he drove to a residential neighborhood in Washington, D.C., causing a substantial disruption to the residents and regional law enforcement. When the police responded to the scene of a potential car bomb near a restricted area that was protected heavily by the United States Secret Service, Taranto tried to flee and left his van behind. After securing Taranto's van and executing a lawful search of the vehicle, police found a CZ Scorpion, an M&P pistol, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his backpack, which he left in the van. Taranto unlawfully carried the pistols and unlawfully possessed the ammunition.The next day, on June 29, 2023, then-former President Donald Trump published on a social media platform the purported address of former President Barack Obama. Taranto re-posted the address on the same platform and thereafter started livestreaming from his van on his YouTube channel. Taranto broadcast footage of himself as he drove through the Kalorama neighborhood in Washington, D.C., claiming he was searching for 'tunnels' he believed would provide him access to the private residences of certain high-profile individuals, including former President Obama. He parked his van, walked away from it, and approached a restricted area protected by the United States Secret Service. He walked through the nearby woods and stated, 'Gotta get the shot, stop at nothing to get the shot.' After noticing the presence of the Secret Service he said, 'If I were them, I'd be watching this, watching my every move.' He also said, 'So yeah, more than likely, these guys also all hang for treason' and 'I control the block, we've got 'em surrounded.' When Secret Service agents approached him, Taranto fled, but he was apprehended and placed under arrest."The sentencing memo also stated: "On January 6, 2021, thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol while a joint session of Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. Taranto was accused of participating in the riot in D.C., by entering the U.S. Capitol Building. After the riot, Taranto returned to his home in the State of Washington, where he promoted conspiracy theories about the events of January 6, 2021."Apparently because the prosecutors put truthful and accurate references to January 6 and Donald Trump into the sentencing memo, within two hours of filing the memo the prosecutors had their government cell phones seized, they were locked out of their government computers, and they were removed from the US Attorney's Office.This represents unlawful retaliation against these prosecutors for providing truthful, accurate, and necessary information to the sentencing judge.In this episode of "The Prosecutors' Verdict" Kevin Flynn and I talk about this legal developments and the horrific precedent it sets for the independence of the Department of Justice and the practice of the law in our nation's courts.To find Kevin on Substack: https://kfflynn.substack.com/To find Glenn on Substack: https://glennkirschner.substack.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Taranto broadcast footage of himself as he drove through the Kalorama neighborhood in Washington, D.C., claiming he was searching for 'tunnels' he believed would provide him access to the private residences of certain high-profile individuals, including former President Obama. He parked his van, walked away from it, and approached a restricted area protected by the United States Secret Service. He walked through the nearby woods and stated, 'Gotta get the shot, stop at nothing to get the shot.' After noticing the presence of the Secret Service he said, 'If I were them, I'd be watching this, watching my every move.' He also said, 'So yeah, more than likely, these guys also all hang for treason' and 'I control the block, we've got 'em surrounded.' When Secret Service agents approached him, Taranto fled, but he was apprehended and placed under arrest."The sentencing memo also stated: "On January 6, 2021, thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol while a joint session of Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. Taranto was accused of participating in the riot in D.C., by entering the U.S. Capitol Building. After the riot, Taranto returned to his home in the State of Washington, where he promoted conspiracy theories about the events of January 6, 2021."Apparently because the prosecutors put truthful and accurate references to January 6 and Donald Trump into the sentencing memo, within two hours of filing the memo the prosecutors had their government cell phones seized, they were locked out of their government computers, and they were removed from the US Attorney's Office.This represents unlawful retaliation against these prosecutors for providing truthful, accurate, and necessary information to the sentencing judge.In this episode of "The Prosecutors' Verdict" Kevin Flynn and I talk about this legal developments and the horrific precedent it sets for the independence of the Department of Justice and the practice of the law in our nation's courts.To find Kevin on Substack: https://kfflynn.substack.com/To find Glenn on Substack: https://glennkirschner.substack.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Day in Legal History: Nevada Admitted as 36th StateOn October 31, 1864, Nevada was officially admitted as the 36th state of the United States, a move driven as much by wartime politics as by the territory's readiness for statehood. With President Abraham Lincoln seeking re-election and needing support for the proposed 13th Amendment to abolish slavery, the Republican-controlled Congress saw strategic value in adding another loyal Union state. Although Nevada's population was below the threshold typically required for statehood, its vast mineral wealth and political alignment with the Union helped accelerate the process. To meet the tight timeline ahead of the 1864 election, Nevada's leaders moved quickly to draft a state constitution.Facing logistical challenges in sending the document from Carson City to Washington, D.C., Nevada officials made the unprecedented decision to transmit the entire text—over 16,000 words—via telegraph. The transmission took over 12 hours and cost more than $4,000, making it the longest and most expensive telegram ever sent at the time. The decision proved effective: the telegram reached the capital in time, and Congress formally approved Nevada's admission on the same day.The speed and cost of Nevada's telegraphic constitution became a symbol of the urgency and improvisation of Civil War-era governance. The state's motto, “Battle Born,” reflects both its literal birth during the Civil War and the political battle over slavery and Union preservation. Nevada's admission also helped secure support for Lincoln's re-election and for the 13th Amendment, which passed Congress in January 1865.In a recently disclosed legal filing, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sought taxpayer information on over 1.28 million individuals from the IRS, though only about 47,000 records matched. The request, part of a broader effort to access data on individuals under final removal orders, was submitted under a carve-out in Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, which permits limited disclosures during criminal investigations. The IRS initially rejected ICE's requests citing legal constraints, but a memorandum of understanding in April allowed for limited data sharing. A subsequent refined request from ICE in June targeted a smaller group of 1.27 million, but again, only a small percentage matched IRS records, and many failed to meet legal standards for processing.The case arose from a lawsuit filed by taxpayer advocacy groups and unions, which argue that these disclosures violate the Tax Reform Act, the Privacy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. Plaintiffs are seeking a preliminary injunction to halt further sharing. Internal emails reveal IRS officials were concerned about the unprecedented scale and legality of the request, and officials emphasized the need to keep the data sharing confidential. The IRS typically handles about 30,000 such data requests a year, each requiring detailed justification and high-level agency approval. Critics warn that this massive data handover poses urgent threats to taxpayer privacy and due process rights.ICE Sought Records on 1.3 Million Taxpayers, Filing Shows (1)U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols praised two federal prosecutors, Samuel White and Carlos Valdivia, for their handling of a case against Taylor Taranto, despite both being suspended by the Justice Department the day before. The suspension followed their reference to January 6 rioters as “a mob of rioters” and mention of Donald Trump allegedly sharing Barack Obama's address in a sentencing memo. Judge Nichols commended their work as professional and exemplary, stating they upheld the highest prosecutorial standards.Taranto was sentenced to 21 months in prison for firearm and hoax-related charges after being arrested near Obama's D.C. residence in 2023. However, he will not serve additional time due to pretrial detention. Though originally charged for participating in the Capitol riot, those charges were dropped under President Trump's mass clemency order for January 6 defendants issued at the start of his second term. Taranto's defense claimed his statements about explosives were meant as “dark humor” and that he hadn't committed any violence.After White and Valdivia's suspension, a revised sentencing memo—stripped of January 6 and Trump references—was filed by two replacement prosecutors, including a senior DOJ official. The incident reflects broader tensions under the Trump administration, which has repeatedly moved to minimize references to Capitol riot violence and penalize prosecutors involved in politically sensitive cases.US judge praises prosecutors who were suspended after referring to January 6 ‘mob' | ReutersA federal judge allowed the Trump administration to move forward with firing nearly all remaining employees of the Department of Justice's Community Relations Service (CRS), an agency established in the 1960s to mediate racial and ethnic conflicts. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, while denying a temporary restraining order sought by civil rights groups, noted that the plaintiffs failed to show immediate, irreparable harm. However, she also stated that the groups are likely to succeed in proving that the executive branch cannot lawfully dissolve a congressionally created agency.The lawsuit, brought by 11 organizations including the NAACP and the Ethical Society of Police, challenges the Justice Department's recent “reduction in force” that would leave just one CRS employee. The move follows a pattern under the Trump administration, which has rejected all new requests for CRS services and proposed no funding for the agency in its budget. Plaintiffs argue that a termination notice stating the layoffs aim to “effectuate the dissolution” of CRS confirms unlawful intent.Although Talwani's ruling allows the firings to proceed, she emphasized that the final outcome may favor the plaintiffs as the case continues. The layoffs coincide with a government shutdown that began October 1, meaning the employees would have been furloughed regardless. The DOJ claims it is merely reorganizing, not eliminating, the agency, though it concedes that only Congress has the authority to formally abolish it.Judge allows Trump administration to fire most of DOJ race-relations agency's employees | ReutersHagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, a prominent plaintiffs' law firm, is under scrutiny in two high-profile class actions, facing judicial criticism and potential sanctions. In Seattle, a federal judge sanctioned the firm for over $223,000 after finding it misled the court and opposing counsel about its client's withdrawal from an antitrust case against Apple and Amazon. The judge said Hagens Berman failed to disclose that their client, who later disappeared from proceedings, had expressed his intent to exit the case months earlier. The firm argues it acted ethically under client confidentiality rules and has asked the judge to revise her dismissal ruling.In a separate matter in Philadelphia, the firm faces possible new sanctions in long-running litigation over thalidomide-related birth defect claims. A special master found misconduct, including altering an expert report and advancing claims lacking legal merit. While Hagens Berman disputes the findings, calling them outside the master's authority and biased, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond upheld the report. The firm has now requested that Diamond recuse himself, citing an appearance of bias due to his close coordination with the special master.In both cases, Hagens Berman maintains its actions were in good faith and within legal and ethical bounds, while critics and courts point to patterns of misrepresentation and overreach.Law firm Hagens Berman battles sanctions in Apple, thalidomide cases | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Camille Saint-Saëns.Camille Saint-Saëns was a French composer, organist, conductor, and pianist whose long career spanned the Romantic era and touched the early 20th century. Born in Paris in 1835, he was a child prodigy who began composing at the age of three and gave his first public performance at ten. Saint-Saëns was celebrated for his extraordinary versatility, writing symphonies, concertos, operas, chamber music, and choral works. Though deeply rooted in classical forms, he was an early supporter of contemporary composers like Liszt and Wagner, even as he remained skeptical of more radical modernism. His music often combined technical brilliance with elegance, and his clear, structured style made him a bridge between tradition and innovation. He was also a prolific writer and amateur astronomer, and his intellectual breadth sometimes earned him criticism from those who found his music too refined or academic. Still, Saint-Saëns maintained influence across Europe, and his works remain staples of the concert repertoire.This week's closing theme is Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre. Originally a song for voice and piano based on a poem by Henri Cazalis, Saint-Saëns later reworked Danse Macabre into a tone poem for orchestra. It depicts Death summoning the dead from their graves at midnight on Halloween for a wild, skeletal waltz. A solo violin—tuned unconventionally to evoke a harsh, eerie sound—plays Death's dance theme, while xylophone rattles mimic clacking bones. The piece was controversial at its premiere in 1875 but quickly became a concert favorite, especially around Halloween. With its vivid orchestration and playful macabre imagery, Danse Macabre is one of classical music's most iconic musical depictions of the supernatural, perfectly capturing the spirit of the season.Without further ado, Saint-Saëns Danse Macabre—enjoy!

Le imprese della componentistica auto sono in difficoltà: dopo tre anni si ferma la crescita dei ricavi, in calo del 6%, e le previsioni per il 2025 sono negative per fatturato, ordinativi, occupazione e investimenti. Aumentano i timori per i dazi, mentre cresce l'interesse verso l'arrivo delle case cinesi in Europa, con possibili nuovi stabilimenti, considerati un'opportunità dal 52% delle aziende.L'Osservatorio sulla componentistica automotive italiana, realizzato da Camera di commercio di Torino e Anfia, mostra un calo del 6% dei ricavi in Italia e del 5,6% in Piemonte, dove gli addetti diminuiscono del 2,4%. Meglio solo motorsport e aftermarket. I dazi preoccupano il 47% delle imprese (contro il 32% del 2023) e cresce la diversificazione verso altri settori. Il 68,6% delle aziende ha Stellantis o Iveco tra i clienti.Marco Stella, presidente del Gruppo Componenti Anfia, sottolinea la necessità di rivedere la transizione energetica europea, troppo centrata sull'elettrico, che riduce il ruolo dei fornitori europei e rischia di far perdere fino al 23% del valore aggiunto entro il 2030. Le imprese italiane della componentistica sono 2.134 con 168.000 addetti e un fatturato di 55,5 miliardi di euro. Il Piemonte rappresenta il 33,6% del totale. Interviene Roberto Vavassori, Presidente ANFIASciopero di 24 Ore in tutti i siti del gruppo ex IlvaSciopero di 24 ore in tutti gli stabilimenti del gruppo ex Ilva per richiamare l'attenzione sulla crisi che coinvolge 10.700 lavoratori diretti, 1.500 dipendenti di Ilva in amministrazione straordinaria e 6.000 dell'indotto. La mobilitazione di Fim, Fiom e Uilm denuncia l'assenza di un piano industriale credibile e il ricorso continuo alla cassa integrazione. La produzione è scesa sotto i 2 milioni di tonnellate l'anno, contro una capacità di oltre 8. Solo un altoforno è operativo, mentre gli altri impianti sono fermi per mancanza di fondi. Il debito ammonta a 5,4 miliardi e 4.550 lavoratori sono in cassa integrazione. I sindacati temono una frammentazione del gruppo con pesanti tagli occupazionali e chiedono un intervento pubblico deciso per garantire unità industriale e riconversione ambientale.A Taranto migliaia di operai hanno sfilato fino a Palazzo di Città per consegnare un documento al sindaco. Lo sciopero è un segnale contro l'assenza di strategia e la crisi del principale polo siderurgico europeo. Il commento è di Domenico Palmiotti, Il Sole 24 Ore TarantoNestlé, fatturato -1,9%, taglierà 16mila posti di lavoroNestlé taglierà 16.000 posti di lavoro a livello mondiale nei prossimi due anni, dopo un calo del fatturato dell'1,9% nei primi nove mesi del 2024, a 65,9 miliardi di franchi svizzeri (71 miliardi di euro). Il nuovo amministratore delegato Philipp Navratil ha annunciato un piano di riduzione del personale per accelerare l'adattamento del gruppo e ottenere risparmi annuali di 1 miliardo di franchi entro il 2027, il doppio del previsto.Il programma prevede la soppressione di 12.000 posti di lavoro in vari settori e 4.000 in progetti di produttività già in corso. La riorganizzazione segue lo scandalo che ha portato alla rimozione dell'ex CEO Laurent Freixe e alle dimissioni anticipate del presidente Paul Bulcke, sostituito da Pablo Isla, ex Inditex. Interviene Lino Terlizzi, Il Sole 24 Ore da LuganoVerso nuovo vertice sulla manovra, Cdm al momento domattinaMaggioranza ancora al lavoro per definire la legge di Bilancio. Il Consiglio dei ministri è previsto domattina alle 11, ma non si esclude un rinvio. Resta da definire il contributo di banche e assicurazioni e i tagli ai ministeri.Il Documento programmatico di Bilancio prevede 4,4 miliardi di contributo dal settore finanziario nel 2026 (11 miliardi nel triennio). Forza Italia si oppone a qualsiasi tassa sugli extraprofitti, mentre diversi ministeri chiedono di ridurre la spending review, che vale 2 miliardi aggiuntivi nel 2026. Si valutano possibili risparmi dalle tax expenditures.Il ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani ha ribadito che non ci sarà una tassa sugli extraprofitti ma un contributo concordato con banche e assicurazioni, evitando misure punitive.

Ad agosto, dopo due mesi consecutivi di crescita congiunturale, secondo l’Istat l’export verso i paesi extra Ue registra un’ampia riduzione. Le più forti calano verso Turchia (-26,1%) e Stati Uniti (-21,2%). Sul fronte importazioni le contrazioni più ampie riguardano Regno Unito (-36,6%) e paesi Opec (-27,1%), mentre crescono gli acquisti da Stati Uniti (+68,5%) e paesi Asean (+13,6%). Questi dati arrivano dopo la nuova raffica di dazi annunciati dal presidente Usa Donald Trump, in vigore dal primo ottobre: tariffe al 100% sui film realizzati all’estero, dazi al 50% su mobili da cucina e da bagno, dazi al 100% sui farmaci di marca o brevettati non prodotti negli Usa ed estensione del 25% alle importazioni di camion pesanti. La Casa Bianca non ha ancora chiarito se i prodotti europei saranno esclusi e, in caso contrario, si tratterebbe di una violazione dell’accordo con Bruxelles, che non è ancora giuridicamente vincolante. Intanto la Commissione Ue, attraverso il portavoce Olof Gill, si dice tranquilla ricordando il limite tariffario globale del 15% per le esportazioni europee di farmaci, legname e semiconduttori inserito nell’accordo quadro, che garantisce agli operatori economici Ue che non saranno applicate tariffe più elevate. Affrontiamo il tema con Lucio Miranda, presidente e fondatore Export USA.Moda a Milano, l’indotto della fashion week sfiora i 240 milioni di euroSi è chiusa la Milano Fashion Week con sette giorni di sfilate, presentazioni ed eventi, oltre 170 appuntamenti ufficiali e circa 1.000 showroom. L’impatto economico sulla città è stimato in 238,9 milioni di euro, +12,3% rispetto a settembre 2024. Quasi la metà è destinata allo shopping, il 39% a ristorazione e alloggi, il 15% ai trasporti. Cresce quindi l’indotto ma cala la spesa media, mentre resta difficile la situazione di molte imprese del tessile e dell’abbigliamento, strette tra debolezza della domanda e costi energetici. Secondo l’Osservatorio Crif il tasso di default delle società del settore è salito al 3,3% nel primo semestre 2024, sopra la media manifatturiera del 2,5%. Una possibile strada è la Cina, tra supply chain digitalizzate, sostenibilità e tecnologie innovative. Pitti e Accademia del Lusso hanno firmato un memorandum con scambi, cooperazione commerciale e investimenti italiani per lo sviluppo dei marchi moda. Andiamo dietro la notizia con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore Newsmondo.itEx Ilva, sindacati non partecipano al tavolo sulla cig straordinaria: Attendiamo convocazione a Palazzo ChigiFim, Fiom, Uilm e Usb non partecipano all’incontro convocato dal ministero del Lavoro sulla cig straordinaria all’ex Ilva. Chiedono che sia Palazzo Chigi a convocare un tavolo che chiarisca il percorso del governo e della struttura commissariale, considerando i 4.450 lavoratori coinvolti. I commissari straordinari hanno ricevuto una decina di manifestazioni di interesse, da attori nazionali e internazionali, e si sono dati una o due settimane per valutare. Dopo l’uscita di Baku Steel e Jindal, restano in campo i fondi americani Bedrock e Flacks con Steel Business Europe per rilevare l’intero gruppo. Altri puntano a singoli asset: Renexia al futuro impianto Dri, Marcegaglia e Imc alla controllata francese Socova, Marcegaglia e Sideralba ai tubifici, e la cordata Profilmec, Eusider e Marcegalia all’acciaieria di Racconigi. C’è anche l’offerta simbolica di Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra di Taranto che propone 2 euro per chiudere gli altiforni, non compatibile con i criteri della gara. Il ministro Urso riconosce una situazione complessa, aggravata dalle questioni giudiziarie e dal blocco di un altoforno, e ribadisce che la priorità è esaminare le offerte sull’intero asset, con la vendita a pezzi come seconda opzione. Interviene Paolo Bricco, Il Sole 24 Ore

A CVC masterclass from Bill Taranto, Founder and President of Merck's Global Health Innovation Fund, a $600M fund that is considered one of the most impactful corporate venture funds in the world. Bill has over 20 years of healthcare investing and is focused on digital health companies transforming the future of care. Bill was just named to the Global Corporate Venturing Power List for the 14th time. We talk about the dual mandate to predict and prepare as well as the unique structure he has created which includes multiple levers like accelerators, studios, the growth equity fund, and a private equity roll-up function. We talk about the right relationship with the corporate parent, flying too close to the sun in the strategic/financial balance and why communication is often what determines success and makes innovation tangible for large organizations.

Jenn Taranto has more than 25 years of experience in commercial real estate and construction and serves as Vice President of Sustainability at STO Building Group, a major construction organization. Passionate about reducing environmental impact, she drives STOBG's internal sustainability strategy, helps clients define CSR goals, guides project teams to achieve milestones, and supports efforts to lower costs and emissions. We talked with Jenn about her long-term role with Built Environment Plus, the New England-based regional green building nonprofit, and how such groups are supporting market and industry transformation. Jenn suggests that people working on sustainability in the construction sector should be “deeply curious, have loads of tenacity, and be interested in breaking systems to build better ones.” She was instrumental in getting the Contractors' Commitment off the ground and shared its reason for being. “We saw a real need for a system to encourage companies to track progress and engage in this transformation, she says. As for how we're progressing -- the movement, the industry, and society overall -- we asked Jenn if we're where she thought we'd be by now. “Not exactly,” she said. “Where's my hoverboard?”

Il Ministero delle Imprese conferma che l’accordo di programma sulla decarbonizzazione dell’ex Ilva si farà anche senza il Comune di Taranto, dopo le dimissioni del sindaco Bitetti a causa delle proteste ambientaliste. Il vertice al Mimit si concentrerà sullo scenario con 3 forni elettrici. Gli altri elementi del piano (impianti Dri, cattura CO2, nave di rigassificazione) sono rimandati. Urso ha scartato la proposta del sindaco uscente che prevedeva anche Dri e cattura CO2. Il piano da 3,2 miliardi prevede solo i forni elettrici; quello completo con nave, Dri e cattura CO2 può arrivare a 9,7 miliardi. La configurazione scelta influirà sulla gara per la vendita degli impianti e sulla necessità di gas, stimata in 5,1 miliardi di metri cubi l’anno. Ne parliamo con Domenico Palmiotti, Il Sole24Ore.La minaccia dei dazi non incide direttamente sul carrello della spesa ma torna a crescere l’inflazioneL’intesa del 27 luglio tra USA e UE introduce dazi medi del 15% su alcune merci europee. L’Unione Nazionale Consumatori critica l’accordo ma sottolinea che non avrà effetti diretti sui prezzi al dettaglio. L’inflazione è salita dello 0,1% a giugno, con il carrello della spesa in aumento del 2,8% su base annua, ma l’andamento era già in corso per altri fattori (clima, costi agricoli). I veri rischi, secondo l’associazione, sono legati ad aumenti dei costi energetici e a eventuali sussidi statali alle imprese che ricadrebbero sui contribuenti. Interviene Mauro Antonelli, Direttore Centro Studi Unione Nazionale Consumatori. Istat: al 2050 il 41% famiglie sarà di una persona solaSecondo le previsioni Istat aggiornate al 2024, nel 2050 il 41,1% delle famiglie italiane sarà composto da una sola persona, in crescita rispetto al 36,8% attuale. Le coppie con figli passeranno da tre su dieci a una su cinque. Il numero medio di componenti per famiglia calerà a 2,03. Gli over 65 soli saliranno da 4,6 a 6,5 milioni. La popolazione totale diminuirà a 54,7 milioni (oggi è 59), e un terzo sarà composta da anziani. Anche nello scenario più ottimistico, si prevede una perdita netta di milioni di abitanti entro il 2050, accentuando l’invecchiamento e modificando profondamente la struttura sociale del Paese. Il commento è di Luca Paolazzi, advisor di Ceresio Investors.Immobiliare alle prese con una nuova modernitàMilano è una città simbolo della trasformazione urbana, ma sotto l'apparenza della ricchezza si cela un disagio crescente. Il reportage analizza la crisi dell’abitare, il peso degli affitti brevi e del turismo, il ricorso alle scuole private, lo spopolamento del centro, e l’effetto Cantillon, che arricchisce i già ricchi. Lo smart working e il nomadismo digitale hanno trasformato il valore della casa. Il problema non è solo Airbnb, ma uno stile di vita che cambia rapidamente. Milano deve ripensarsi come modello urbano capace di attrarre giovani e famiglie, evitando di diventare una città per soli turisti o investitori. Serve una visione che unisca innovazione, coesione sociale e sviluppo sostenibile. Ne parliamo proprio con Giulio Centemero, scrittore e membro della Camera dei Deputati.
