Secondo il rapporto Svimez 2024, l’Italia registra nuovamente un divario di crescita rispetto all’Eurozona: il Pil nazionale è cresciuto solo dello 0,7%, contro una media UE del +1%. A sorprendere è il Mezzogiorno, che ha registrato una crescita dell’1%, superiore a quella del Centro-Nord (+0,6%) e della media italiana. In particolare, si distinguono Sicilia (+1,5%) e Campania (+1,3%). Il Centro rimane comunque la macro-area trainante a livello cumulato: dal 2022 al 2024 ha registrato una crescita del 9,8%, contro l’8,6% del Sud e il 5,6% del Centro-Nord. Il Mezzogiorno ha beneficiato in modo rilevante degli investimenti pubblici e del Pnrr, che hanno inciso per 0,6 punti percentuali sulla crescita dell’area, contro 0,4 punti nel resto del Paese. Il motore della crescita nel Sud è stato il settore delle costruzioni (+3%) e i servizi (+0,7%), mentre l’industria ha mostrato una certa tenuta (+0,1%) rispetto alla leggera flessione nel Centro-Nord (-0,2%). L’agricoltura invece ha performato peggio (+0,5% contro +2,9%). Gli investimenti pubblici hanno toccato i 45 miliardi, metà dei quali mobilitati dai Comuni. Tra le regioni in calo figurano Molise (-0,9%), Calabria (-0,2%), Liguria (-0,5%) e Veneto (-0,4%). Il commento è di Luca Bianchi, direttore Svimez.Assolombarda, Alvise Biffi eletto Presidente: “Ripensare l’impresa”L’Assemblea Privata di Assolombarda ha eletto Alvise Biffi come nuovo Presidente per il quadriennio 2025-2029, insieme ai Vicepresidenti che comporranno il Consiglio di Presidenza. Nel suo primo intervento ufficiale, Biffi ha delineato una visione chiara per il futuro dell’impresa: aumentare la produttività ripensando i modelli industriali. Al centro della sua strategia l’integrazione dell’intelligenza artificiale, ancora scarsamente adottata in Italia secondo Istat, solo l’8% delle aziende la utilizzava nel 2023 e l’urgenza di colmare il divario con le regioni tedesche più avanzate in termini di ricerca e sviluppo. Innovare, per Biffi, significa anche affrontare il cambiamento nel mercato del lavoro: il 40% degli annunci nella zona Assolombarda riguarda profili ad alta qualificazione impattati dall’IA, ma permane un forte mismatch tra domanda e offerta. Quasi la metà delle imprese ha difficoltà a trovare figure chiave come esperti digitali, energy manager o progettisti green. Altro tema cardine: l’energia. Con costi europei molto più alti rispetto a USA e Cina, Biffi propone di sganciare il prezzo dell’elettricità da quello del gas naturale e spingere sulle rinnovabili fino a coprire il 50% del mix elettrico. Nel medio periodo, secondo il presidente, servirà puntare anche sul nucleare di nuova generazione e sui gas verdi, come il biometano e l’idrogeno, per decarbonizzare i settori industriali più energivori. Interviene proprio Alvise Biffi, presidente di Assolombarda.Volare con il mondo in guerra: le rotte off limits, i rischi e le nuove tratte per evitare i missiliL’escalation del conflitto tra Israele e Iran ha ridisegnato le rotte del traffico aereo internazionale. Le compagnie evitano sempre più frequentemente gli spazi aerei considerati ad alto rischio per via di possibili attacchi missilistici, ma in assenza di un’autorità globale che imponga regole comuni, le decisioni sono frammentate: ogni Stato stabilisce se e quanto tenere aperto il proprio cielo, spesso per ragioni economiche. Ne derivano paradossi operativi, come il sorvolo dell’Afghanistan classificato a rischio inferiore rispetto all’Iran pur essendo area instabile. Le alternative attuali si dividono in due direttrici: a nord, passando dal Mar Caspio e Afghanistan; a sud, attraversando Egitto, Mar Rosso e Arabia Saudita. Ma anche rotte un tempo neutre, come Cipro o il sud della Turchia, sono ora oggetto di attenta valutazione. La mancanza di informazioni ufficiali condivise costringe le compagnie a valutazioni autonome, facendo affidamento sulle raccomandazioni di Paesi come USA, Regno Unito o Germania. Le conseguenze economiche sono pesanti: rotte più lunghe comportano più ore di volo, più carburante e maggiori costi operativi, in un contesto in cui il prezzo del petrolio è in crescita (Brent +8% in pochi giorni). Tutto ciò si traduce in una pressione ulteriore sui margini delle compagnie, proprio mentre il settore stava cercando di riprendersi. Il commento è di Andrea Giuricin, docente di Economia dei Trasporti, Università Bicocca di Milano.

A causa dei danni provocati dal maltempo che sta interessando il Veneto, la circolazione ferroviaria sulla linea Verona - Vicenza è stata sospesa per consentire accertamenti tecnici sulla linea.

L'apertura dei giornali, con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti, tutto in meno di 30 minuti. La Lega sta cercando di rimandare il divieto di circolazione delle auto diesel di classe Euro 5 che dal prossimo ottobre dovrebbe essere imposto in quattro regioni: Lombardia, Veneto, Piemonte ed Emilia-Romagna. Eppure è stato proprio il governo Meloni ad approvare il divieto nel settembre del 2023. Quante auto coinvolge e quanto inquinano effettivamente? Lo chiediamo a Francesco Ramella, direttore esecutivo di Bridges Research e docente di trasporti all'università di Torino.

Amo so che ti sembrerà strano che queste fiorde carichino una puntata di venerdì. Ti starai chiedendo “mi sono persa qualcosa? Sto sognando? Booking vuol dire libro in inglese?”. Le risposte sono sì, no e no. Con gli amici di hu openair, dei ragazzacci che organizzano delle esperienze di viaggio in stile glamping (Vanessa se non sai cosa significa fai come noi e googla perché scoprirai un mondo), abbiamo cercato di capire come superare l'ansia del prenotare un viaggio che spesso ci attanaglia a tal punto da lasciarci a casa a guardare il soffitto, posizione che Sandro non disdegna mai quando è in dolce compagnia sia chiaro, ma non quando la causa è l'ansia che ci lascia impietriti. Dunque, quale miglior modo di uno speedate per scoprire i modi di affrontare queste paure in chiave POV? Ovviamente come ogni speedate che si rispetti verremo corteggiati da delle persone, in questo caso non delle squinzie qualsiasi ma Ginevra Iorio, Carlotta Roncarà e PaoloyMar. Il loro scopo? Convincerci a partire con uno di loro per la meta dove hu li ha precedentemente portati, rispettivamente il Veneto, la Toscana e il Lazio. Chi si aggiudicherà questi due tocchi di manzo? Amo lo saprai solo a fine puntata noi non ti diciamo nulla sennò che gusto c'è? Questa puntata nasce come un podcast nativo di TikTok, trovate qui sotto il link per accedere direttamente alla puntata originale.

La montagna fa tendenza: non c'è social che non veda immortalate vedute spettacolari sulle cime di una catena montuosa o laghetti sperduti tra le valli più verdi. Ma questo porta con se, oltre che l'overtourism, anche un po' di pressapochismo di chi pensa di potersela cavare in montagna con un paio di scarpe tecniche e un moschettone appeso ai pantaloni. Esploriamo quindi i luoghi comuni delle vette alpine con Michele Nenz, accompagnatore di media montagna del collegio delle guide alpine del Veneto, durante lo Sport Business Forum di Belluno.

Giannandrea Mencini"La battaglia dei semi"Come uscire dai monopoli alimentariPrefazione di Elena CiccarelloKellermann Editorewww.kellermanneditore.itDopo aver acceso i riflettori sulla cosiddetta "mafia dei pascoli" e sull'espansione incontrollata delle monocolture nelle terre alte, l'autore torna con una nuova inchiesta, rivolta alle dinamiche oscure del sistema sementiero. Con dati alla mano, Mencini svela come il 63% del mercato delle sementi e il 75% di quello degli agrofarmaci siano monopolizzati da sole tre multinazionali, denunciando le gravi ripercussioni sociali, gli squilibri commerciali e la conseguente sottomissione di milioni di contadini e consumatori alle decisioni di pochi colossi. Un sistema che mette a repentaglio la sovranità alimentare dei Paesi e la biodiversità agricola.Tuttavia, l'autore non si limita alla denuncia, ma intraprende un viaggio avvincente attraverso l'Italia, soffermandosi in particolare in aree collinari e montane, alla scoperta di aziende agricole, associazioni, cooperative, progetti che portano avanti un modello produttivo sostenibile, basato sul recupero di saperi antichi, sullo scambio di semi e sulla valorizzazione dei prodotti locali. Realtà rurali ricche di storia, che continuano a sostenere il sistema agroalimentare italiano, nonostante la concorrenza spietata dell'agroindustria.Giannandrea Mencini, (1968), veneziano, giornalista e scrittore, si occupa di storia dell'ambiente e del territorio.Ha pubblicato numerosi saggi, libri e articoli, dove ha raccontato i problemi della salvaguardia di Venezia e del vivere in montagna tra i quali Il Turismo a Venezia e nel Veneto, problema o risorsa? (Supernova edizioni, 2013), Acqua in Piazza (Lineadacqua, 2016), Vivere in pendenza. Scelte di vita che cambiano la montagna bellunese (Supernova Edizioni, 2019).È stato fra i curatori con contributi specialistici del primo Rapporto sullo stato dell'ambiente 2000 della Provincia di Venezia (Provincia di Venezia, 2000) e dello Stato dell'ecosistema lagunare veneziano a cura del Magistrato alle Acque di Venezia (Marsilio, 2010).Ha ricevuto una menzione speciale nell'ambito della terza edizione del Premio Nazionale di ecologia Verde Ambiente per i suoi scritti sulle tematiche ambientali e di difesa del territorio.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

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.

Tiziana Agostini"Costruire la parità"Storia, ostacoli, vantaggiMarcianum Presswwwm.marcianumpress.itIl riconoscimento dell'uguaglianza sembra oggi qualcosa di scontato, ma nei fatti ancora non lo è. Permangono squilibri, ingiustizie e l'eredità negativa di visioni del mondo che non riconoscono la libertà delle donne e non ne impiegano i talenti.Questo libro traccia il cammino compiuto dalle donne per realizzare una società più equa e inclusiva e indica quali sono gli snodi ancora da risolvere in Italia. Mostra come la violenza contro le donne sia pervasiva e si manifesti in una molteplicità di forme che impiegano anche le nuove tecnologie, compresa l'Intelligenza Artificiale. Affronta la grande questione del lavoro e del potere, proponendo efficaci modelli organizzativi e raccontando i nuovi protagonismi femminili. Chiama in causa gli uomini, ingabbiati in comportamenti inadeguati rispetto alle esigenze di oggi, per rendere la parola libertà un fatto concreto per ogni persona.Tiziana Agostini, veneziana, filologa e studiosa di genere, ha collaborato con Università e pubbliche amministrazioni in materia di Pari Opportunità. È stata Assessora alle Attività culturali e alla Cittadinanza delle Donne del Comune di Venezia dal 2010 al 2014. Tra i suoi libri: Serenissime.

In addition to being a hardworking and genuine guy.Steve started his career at Nike in Oregon.His dream job was working for Nike, and after 10 years with the swoosh, he decided to pull up roots and move himself and his wife to Europe. I asked him why he did this. He said, he just wanted a new adventure, to discover something new. And where he landed was at Manifattura Valcismon in Veneto, where he went on to help the Cremonese family to reacquire the Castelli brand.From bankruptcy, they took it literally to the moon because it's become among the top brands in the cycling clothing business.

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). Con la raccolta di racconti Scirocco (La tartaruga 1992) ha vinto il premio Chiara.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

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.

Veneto di nascita, Luciano Marangon ha indossato la maglia della Roma nella stagione 1981/82 prima di giocare al Verona per tre stagioni. Questa è la nostra chiacchierata con lui alla vigilia della sfida tra le sue due ex squadre.

L'apertura dei giornali, con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti, tutto in meno di 30 minuti.Un altro caso di violenza: in Veneto un uomo ha tentato di violentare una ragazzina di 11 anni. La sua prima condanna risale al 2002. Ma da quattro anni era libero. E senza misure cautelari nei suoi confronti. Ci si domanda perché questa persona era libera e come mai nessun tribunale l'abbia definito pericoloso nonostante i precedenti. Facciamo il punto con Anna Cinzia Pani, avvocato, responsabile Dipartimento Penale AL Assistenza Legale.
