Find out more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/the-most-beautiful-small-towns-in-italyFood lovers will be delighted to know that Sicily is also home to 23 Michelin-starred restaurants, including three two-star establishments and twenty with one star.Tourissimo Tip–If you visit Corleone, you should definitely learn about the legacy of the Mafia. We in North America tend to have a romanticized view of the mafia, but for the locals, the history is more brutal. See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Episode 161 Chapter 22, Electronic Music in Canada. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 22, Electronic Music in Canada from my book Electronic and Experimental music.   Playlist: ELECTRONIC MUSIC IN CANADA   Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:34 00:00 1.     Hugh LeCaine, “Dripsody: An Etude For Variable Speed Recorder” (1955). One of the earliest pieces of tape music by the inventor and composer Hugh Le Caine. Also, one of the most available works from the early years when it was used to demonstrate simple techniques of tape composition. It is probably the most-played work of electronic music other than “Poeme Electronique” by Varese. Every sound in this work is based on a recording of a single drop of water falling into a bucket, which then underwent various speed adjustments and edits to create this composition. 2:12 01:38 2.     Hugh LeCaine, “Ninety-Nine Generators” (1956). The title refers to the 99 tones of the touch sensitive organ. Each note had a separate generator and they could all sounds at the same time. 1:42 03:40 3.     Hugh LeCaine, “This Thing Called Key” (1956). Le Caine composed on his Special Purpose Tape Recorder using individual tape playback heads for six tapes, activated by keys. 1:53 05:22 4.     Anhalt, “Electronic Composition No. 2” (1959). 8:47 07:16 5.     Norma Beecroft, “From Dreams of Brass” (1964). Norma Beecroft is a Canadian composer, producer, broadcaster, and arts administrator. Among the pioneering academic electronic music composers, she worked independently in the Electronic Music Studio of the University of Toronto. 15:59 16:04 6.     Paul Pedersen, “For Margaret, Motherhood And Mendelssohn” (1971). Composed at McGill University where Pedersen was director of the electronic music studio. The electroacoustic work uses fragments of speeches such as prime minister Pierre Trudeau's and the electronic sounds were composed using Le Caine's Polyphonic Synthesizer. 4:21 32:02 7.     Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux, “Zones” (1972). Musique électroacoustique réalisée au Sonic Research Studio, Université Simon Fraser, Vancouver. An exploration of different instrumental timbres using electroacoustic music. 9:02 36:22 8.     Alcides Lanza, “Eidesis IV For Wind Ensemble And Electronic Sounds” (1977). Lanza studied music in Buena Aires, moved to Canada in 1971, and became Director of the Electronic Music Studio of McGill University in 1976. 11:20 45:24 9.     John Mills-Cockell, “Collision” from Gateway (1977). Produced, engineered, organ and synthesizer by independent Canadian musician John Mills Cockell. 03:32 56:54 10.   Dennis Patrick, “Phantasy III (Excerpt)” (1977-78). Completed in the Electronic Music Studio of the University of Toronto, where he was Director of the studio beginning around 1976. 04:53 01:00:26 11.   Hildegard Westerkamp, “Cricket Voice” (1987). This work is a “musical exploration of the cricket,” with a cricket sound recorded in Mexico. If you know crickets, you will note that this one is not Canadian. But the composer is and this work was produced at the Simon Fraser University in Vancouver where Westerkamp was teaching at the time. 11:09 01:05:20 12.   Ann Southam, “Fluke Sound” (1989). Southam is another female Canadian composer of note. She is from the Toronto area. This work is from a period when she was immersed in electroacoustic music. 10:22 01:16:16 13.   Norma Beecroft, “Evocations: Images Of Canada (1992). In contrast to the earlier tape works of Beecroft, this is a purely digital composition. She used an Apple Macintosh, the program/sequencer Performer and a Roland D-70 synthesizer. 16:01 01:26:30   Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

Lo stato di salute del pontefice è in graduale miglioramento e da quasi un mese oramai, da quando è stato ricoverato al Policlinico Gemelli di Roma, non appare in pubblico né comunica con i fedeli se non con messaggi scritti.Eppure il modello comunicativo di Francesco è sempre stato molto efficace e diretto. Una forma di dialogo e confronto con i fedeli ed il mondo che gli ha consentito di affrontare con coraggio temi complessi e delicati, che fino ad allora i rappresentanti della Chiesa avevano evitato o trattato con poca attenzione.In occasione del dodicesimo anniversario del pontificato di Bergoglio, che ricorre proprio oggi 13 marzo, Laser propone alcune considerazioni sui pilastri che reggono il pensiero del Papa. Dall'inclusione alla presenza sul territorio fino al valore sociale e politico del proprio mandato. Con il Prof. Loris Zanatta, docente di Storia dell'America latina a Bologna e autore del saggio Bergoglio, una biografia politica (Laterza), Lidia Maggi, Pastora battista di Varese e Ferruccio De Bortoli, già direttore del Corriere della Sera e del Sole 24 ore e presidente della casa editrice Longanesi.

Giovanna buona domenica, anzi buona ultima domenica di questo anno che è ormai agli sgoccioli, come la nostra salute mentale dici? Come darti torto nostra cara Giovanna, ma anche se ci sono tutti i segnali per essere rinchiuse d'urgenza in una clinica specializzata buttando le chiavi della cella dove verremo rinchiuse, non potevamo non concederci un piccolo momento di piacere con i POV AWARDS 2024 (proposti dalla famosa star internazionale Santie e la disonesta più onesta del meridione, Onofrio. Se non sapete di chi stiamo parlando, vi consigliamo di raggiungerci SUBBBBITO sul nostro canale telegram che trovate in descrizione su Instagram e TikTok). Giovanna ti starai chiedendo "ma che stracazzo sono i POV AWARDS? Io volevo una posta del cuore brutti fr**i maledetti". Ti spieghiamo in breve: quale settimana fa, abbiamo chiesto alle patatine che ci seguono su Instagram di rispondere a dei sondaggi, che avevano come tematica delle macro categorie (come best album del 2024, miglior serie tv o film del 2024 ecc ecc..) e delle opzioni a cui rispondere che erano strettamente collegate con delle tematiche trattate, affrontate o ripetute sistematicamente come giuoco all'interno delle puntate di POV. Ora Giovanna, le opzioni sono 3: o hai partecipato al sondaggio e non vedevi l'ora uscisse la puntata; o non hai partecipato ma leggendo la descrizione hai pensato "hey cazzo questi ri*****ni hanno avuto un'idea geniale, non ho partecipato al sondaggio ma sono proprio curiosa!"; oppure proverai l'interesse che si prova quando ritrovi nel programma di una materia d'esame che stai studiando, un argomento che hai già studiato per un altro esame e improvvisamente sei da pagina 45 a pagina 122, ma ricordati che in questo caso Zizzi che ha già pre installato una microspia in camera tua lo verrà a sapere da Varese, e potrebbe irrompere in casa tua durante la notte chiedendoti "perché ci odi?" Comunque amo, tralasciando le stupidaggini, ne approfittiamo per augurarti buon anno e ringraziarti per aver partecipando ascoltandoci, interagendoci o a un evento vedendoci, rendendo questo podcast qualcosa di più di due semplici puntate a settimana. Un bacio grande dalla tua POV crew, ci sentiamo anche per quest'ultima volta dopo il play Giovanna.

Michele Dalla Tezza ha 49 anni ed è sia imprenditore sia dipendente di una multinazionale nel settore marketing. Nato e cresciuto in provincia di Varese, uno dei quadretti familiari impressi nella sua memoria ritrae il padre artigiano e la mamma impiegata intenti a parlare di soldi. «Mia mamma teneva la contabilità della ditta di mio papà, e gli chiedeva i prezzi per poter fare le fatture ai clienti». Michele, nel suo piccolo, replica la stessa ritualità della madre, e con la paghetta mensile che riceve, compila un quaderno delle entrate e delle uscite. Abitudine che perde una volta adulto, quando si accomoda dentro il lavoro dipendente Michele approda in una grande multinazionale, dove costruisce una solida carriera e raggiunge una posizione di rilievo. Un giorno però, a causa di una ristrutturazione, gli viene chiesto o di accettare un nuovo ruolo, o di andarsene con una buona uscita. Nonostante la forte responsabilità che sente nei confronti del mantenimento della famiglia, e nonostante i calcoli economici gli suggeriscano di mantenere il posto dipendente, Michele decide di fare il salto nel vuoto, e di accettare la buonuscita: «La proposta che avevo ricevuto metteva in luce il fatto che, evidentemente, non ero più indispensabile». A quel punto, la prima domanda che si fa è: «Ma quanto posso vivere e mantenere la famiglia senza trovare un lavoro?». Questa domanda lo spinge a riprendere l'abitudine che aveva ai tempi dell'oratorio: fare un'analisi dettagliata delle sue entrate e uscite, e grazie a questo piccolo rituale riscopre il valore di avere il pieno controllo delle proprie finanze, al punto da concedersi più piaceri di prima. In quel periodo di piacevole scoperta, Michele si avventura nel mondo degli investimenti, appassionandosi ai temi delle entrate passive e del cash flow. Ed è proprio girando intorno a questi due concetti che decide di lanciarsi nelle locazioni del settore immobiliare e con un socio fonda una società immobiliare per gestirle. Nel frattempo, trova un altro lavoro in un'azienda, che però prende con tutt'altra mentalità rispetto al passato: «Devo dire che dà molta sicurezza avere il piano B, ti dà più leggerezza. Non investi tutto nel lavoro dipendente che può finire da un momento all'altro». Michele oggi ha trovato l'equilibrio tra attività imprenditoriale e attività dipendente e, anche grazie al percorso di Rame, ha dato risposta a una domanda che non si era mai posto, e cioè, quali sono i suoi obiettivi finanziari.

Nell'ultimo triennio insieme all'occupazione è cresciuta la povertà assoluta. Rispetto al prepandemia, ovvero al 2019, nel 2023 l'occupazione è aumentata di 1 milione e 262mila unità di lavoro (+5,4%), raggiungendo il picco. I contributi più rilevanti sono venuti da servizi (+ 65%) e costruzioni (+29%), settori che più hanno contribuito alla ripresa dell'economia.Però, a fronte di questo andamento positivo del mercato del lavoro, le retribuzioni reali per occupato sono rimaste sotto i livelli pre-crisi e sono aumentati gli individui in povertà assoluta, passati dal 7,6% del 2019 al 9,7% del 2023. Sono, invece, diminuiti i working poor per la minor incidenza del part time involontario.È questo il quadro tracciato dal Monitor "L'occupazione aumenta, ma aumenta anche la povertà", realizzato da Area Studi Legacoop e Prometeia, che si focalizza sul periodo 2019-2023.Il commento di Mattia Granata, Direttore Area Studi Legacoop a Focus Economia.Beko chiude le fabbriche, la maledizione del settore del biancoDopo le chiusure di Merloni, Ariston, Indesit e Whirlpool, ora tocca a Beko. E la "maledizione del settore del bianco" si arricchisce di un nuovo capitolo. Una volta fiore all'occhiello dell'industria italiana con i marchi Merloni, Indesit, Ariston, da decenni è finito nelle mani di multinazionali estere - ci sono anche gli svedesi Electrolux - che delocalizzano dove il costo del lavoro è minore.Beko Europe ha presentato un "piano industriale" che prevede entro il prossimo anno e comporterà 1.935 esuberi. L'annuncio arriva dopo 12 anni di cassa integrazione tra ex Whirlpool e Beko Europe.Il marchio controllato dai turci di Arçelik, che solo da pochi mesi aveva acquisito cinque stabilimenti italiani da Whirlpool (non quello di Napoli, chiuso tre anni fa e demoralizzato in Polonia), ha proposto la chiusura degli stabilimenti di Siena (299 dipendenti che producono congelatori), di Comunanza in provincia di Ascoli Piceno (320 dipendenti che fanno lavatrici) e il ridimensionamento di uno dei tre poli produttivi di Cassinetta, Varese (940 dipendenti per la produzione di frigoriferi, il piano prevede il taglio di 540 posti). In più il taglio di 678 'colletti bianchi', quasi la metà dei 1.500 amministrativi e dirigenti di Beko Europe in Italia, oltre a 60 posti di lavoro cancellati a Melano, vicino Fabriano, e 40 a Carinaro, provincia di Caserta.Dalla multinazionale spiegano che lo scenario per il settore è difficile e che il piano è una soluzione concreta per l'Italia. Sono infatti previsti oltre 110 milioni di euro di investimenti e la ricerca di possibili reindustrializzazioni per Siena e Comunanza.L'intervento di Paolo Bricco de il Sole 24 Ore ai microfoni di Sebastiano Barisoni.

Chi abita lungo il confine o ha l'abitudine di varcarlo avrà notato - non è certo una novità - la presenza piuttosto cospicua di attività commerciali gestite da cittadini cinesi: ristoranti di sushi, centri estetici, parrucchieri; molti spazi sono occupati e gestiti appunto da asiatici.Ma chi sono queste lavoratrici e questi lavoratori? Da quale realtà provengono? E quali sicurezze professionali hanno?Francesca Torrani ha cercato qualche risposta soprattutto in riferimento ai commerci di Lavena Ponte Tresa. Con Francesco Wu - fondatore dell'associazione Italia Cina - ha fotografato il fenomeno migratorio lungo la fascia di confine, cercando anche di capire quali sono i finanziamenti che permettono alla comunità cinese di aprire tante attività.Con il sindacato CGIL di Varese ha parlato della tutela di queste lavoratrici e di questi lavoratori, raccogliendo anche qualche storia che rileva qualche criticità in singoli episodi. Con il sindaco di Lavena Ponte Tresa Massimo Mastromarino, infine, una riflessione sul libero commercio e sull'impossibilità di regolamentare le attività commerciali.

La classifica del risparmio in Italia: i biellesi primi, milanesi dodicesimi, romani sessantesimiIl Centro Studi Guglielmo Tagliacarne ha stilato la classifica delle province italiane con la maggiore propensione al risparmio. I biellesi si posizionano al primo posto con una propensione al risparmio del 15,4% del proprio reddito disponibile nel 2022. Seguono gli abitanti di Vercelli (13,8%) e Asti (13,1%). Mentre sul fronte opposto, a Ragusa, Crotone e Siracusa le famiglie riescono a mettere da parte solo il 4,6% del loro reddito. Bisogna scorrere fino all'undicesimo posto occupato da Genova, per trovare la prima Città metropolitana per propensione a risparmiare, seguita in dodicesima posizione da Milano. Roma, invece, si colloca in 60esima posizione, per quanto in recupero di quattro posizioni rispetto al 2019. Napoli è al 78esimo posto. Ma guardando alla classifica del risparmio delle famiglie in valori assoluti, Milano è in cima, rincorsa da Roma e Torino. Nel complesso, al Nord ovest la popolazione mostra una maggiore capacità di risparmio (10,8%), contro una media nazionale dell'8,4%, con picchi dell'11,1% in Piemonte, tallonato dalla Lombardia (10,8%) e dall'Emilia Romagna(10,1%), che scalza la Liguria scivolata in quarta posizione rispetto al 2019. A fare più fatica ad accantonare un piccolo gruzzoletto per il futuro sono, invece, i residenti nel Mezzogiorno, anche a motivo delle minori entrate, e nelle città metropolitane dove probabilmente pesa il maggiore costo della vita. La geografia del risparmio conferma dunque le distanze tra il Settentrione e il Meridione, frutto in primo luogo della diversa entità del reddito disponibile. Nelle prime 20 posizioni della classifica provinciale della propensione al risparmio degli italiani ben 19 sono del Nord. Mentre sul fronte opposto ben 18 province del Sud occupano le ultime 20 posizioni della graduatoria. Tuttavia, nel Mezzogiorno ben 16 province registrano un recupero di posizioni nel ranking per propensione al risparmio rispetto al 2019, tra cui spiccano i casi di Bari e di Matera, entrambe con un recupero di sette posizioni. Dall'indagine emerge che è nella provincia minore che si registra la maggiore propensione al risparmio, così nelle prime dieci posizioni della relativa graduatoria troviamo Biella, Vercelli, Asti, Modena, Varese, Alessandria, Pavia, Novara, Piacenza, Cremona, vale a dire province che nella maggioranza dei casi non superano i 400.000 abitanti. Anche Istat, lo scorso mercoledì, ha certificato che tra il 2019 e il 2023, il reddito disponibile delle famiglie a prezzi correnti è cresciuto del 13,5%. A prezzi costanti è, invece, diminuito dell'1,0% rispetto al 2019. Il mantenimento del volume dei consumi nonostante la riduzione del potere d'acquisto ha comportato una riduzione della propensione al risparmio fino al 6,3% del 2023, contro l'8,1% del 2019 e il picco raggiunto nel 2020 nel primo anno della pandemia. Ne parliamo con Gaetano Fausto Esposito, direttore generale del Centro Studi Tagliacarne.

Nella giornata in cui era iniziata l’evacuazione della popolazione palestinese di Rafah, preludio dell’offensiva israeliana, Hamas annuncia di aver accettato la proposta per un cessate il fuoco. Israele però sostiene che l’accordo in questione sia diverso da quello negoziato e che la decisione sia quindi unilaterale.

Quella di Varese è da sempre una provincia tranquilla. Uno di quei luoghi in cui la vita, negli anni ‘90, scorre tra lavoro, casa e i piaceri che di riflesso arrivano dalle grandi città, Milano una su tutte. È in un posto così, a tratti anonimo, che un gruppo di giovani ragazzi, come tanti, inizia a formarsi attorno alla passione per la musica heavy metal. Tutto normale, appunto. Fino a quando qualcosa corrompe le loro anime. Qualcosa di oscuro e di inspiegabile. Questa è una storia che comincia come tante, in una provincia come tante, tra persone come tante, ma che prosegue e finisce, lasciandosi dietro una lunga scia di sangue, una delle più cruente che la cronaca nera italiana abbia mai raccontato.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
