Verona all'inizio del Novecento è una città elegante, attraversata da carrozze e da convenzioni. Nei salotti si parla di teatro e di balli, mentre altrove — nei vicoli più oscuri — si consumano tragedie che nessuno vuole vedere. Isolina Canuti è una giovane donna. Una qualunque, direbbero. Eppure la sua scomparsa, e il modo in cui il suo nome riaffiora, ha qualcosa di inquietante. Si bisbiglia di un ufficiale degli Alpini, di un amore segreto, di un figlio non voluto. Si parla a mezza voce di un aborto improvvisato, di una notte con troppi testimoni, di silenzi comprati a peso d'oro. Poi, mesi dopo, dall'Adige riemerge qualcosa: un teschio. Non ci sono certezze. Non c'è giustizia.Solo voci discordanti, racconti che non combaciano, documenti sbiaditi come carta lasciata sotto la pioggia. Il caso scivola tra gli scaffali degli archivi, inghiottito da un'epoca che trovava più semplice incolpare una donna che cercare la verità.Ma certe storie restano. Come impronte nel fango. E a volte riaffiorano.Come ciò che il fiume restituisce.

Un'area anticiclonica interessa il Mediterraneo centro-occidentale, mentre sull'Europa settentrionale insistono passaggi di diversi impulsi perturbati. Sul Veneto prevarranno condizioni di tempo in prevalenza stabile ma da mercoledì sarà interessato da infiltrazioni di aria fredda in quota che determineranno un po'di variabilità e instabilità.

La società da due anni non versa il canone e i parcheggi sono in condizioni pietose. Il Comune è ricorso alle vie legali e il buco ammonta a 7 milioni: la stesa cifra che il comune investe in manutenzioni di strade e viabilità. Il 16 l'atteso pronunciamento del Tar del Veneto

L'apertura dei giornali, con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti, tutto in meno di 30 minuti. Il blocco dei veicoli Euro 5 previsto a partire da ottobre per il Piemonte, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna e Lombardia costringerà le imprese dell'auto trasporto a investire un miliardo di euro per sostituire la flotta, uno sforzo che costerebbe molto caro al settore. Sentiamo il parere di Alessandro Peron, segretario generale FIAP (federazione italiana autotrasportatori professionali).

Un confronto acceso ma civile, tra visioni opposte del futuro del territorio. È quanto andato in scena nella puntata speciale di “Senti Chi Parla”, la trasmissione condotta da Marco Zorzi, che ha ospitato due candidati di peso alle prossime elezioni: Francesco Rucco, ex sindaco e ora in corsa con Fratelli d'Italia, e Chiara Luisetto, consigliera regionale e candidata per il Partito Democratico.

VENEZA e a REGIÃO do VENETO geografia, culinária, cultura e dialeto I Vou Aprender Italiano by Pierluigi Rizzo

Un'ammissione di responsabilità è arrivata dal premier laburista britannico Keir Starmer per la gestione della riforma del welfare, approvata in modo caotico alla Camera dei Comuni dopo profonde concessioni volte a placare la rivolta interna. Intervistato dalla BBC, Starmer ha riconosciuto di non aver coinvolto abbastanza i parlamentari laburisti, ma ha difeso la cancelliera dello Scacchiere Rachel Reeves, scoppiata in lacrime durante il Question Time. Reeves, sotto pressione per la gestione dei conti pubblici e attaccata dalla leader conservatrice Kemi Badenoch, non ha ricevuto da subito il sostegno esplicito del premier, che ha poi attribuito il pianto a motivi personali. Tuttavia, secondo il Sun, Reeves avrebbe confidato di essere sopraffatta dalla pressione. Entrata già visibilmente provata, si è commossa quando Starmer ha evitato di confermare pubblicamente la sua posizione, lasciando l’aula accompagnata dalla sorella Ellie, anche lei deputata. Le immagini hanno fatto il giro del mondo e generato incertezza nei mercati: lo spread sui titoli di Stato britannici è salito ai livelli del disastroso budget Truss e la sterlina è crollata contro dollaro ed euro. “Le lacrime più costose della Storia”, ha commentato un deputato conservatore. Interviene Giorgia Scaturro, Il Sole 24 Ore LondraDagli albori della raccolta differenziata al primato europeo: 30 anni di raccolta e riciclo di carta e cartone in ItaliaDomani a Cagliari sarà presentato il 30° Rapporto di Comieco sulla raccolta e il riciclo di carta e cartone in Italia, con un focus sui risultati 2024 e una retrospettiva sui 40 anni del Consorzio. La Sardegna ospita l’evento per il suo ruolo guida nel Sud e nelle Isole, con una resa annua di 60,5 kg/abitante. Il report evidenzia come in trent’anni l’Italia abbia moltiplicato per sei e mezzo la propria capacità di raccolta, passando da 10 kg pro capite nel 1995 a 65,4 kg nel 2024. Il volume totale ha superato i 3,8 milioni di tonnellate (+3,5% rispetto al 2023), con il Sud che per la prima volta supera i 50 kg/abitante. Il sistema creato da Comieco, grazie al Contributo Ambientale Conai, genera un ritorno fino al 688% degli investimenti, secondo uno studio NeXt Economia–Symbola. Il Nord si conferma leader, trainato da Veneto, Piemonte ed Emilia-Romagna. Ne parliamo proprio con Carlo Montalbetti, Direttore Generale ComiecoUiv fatturato, dazi e consumi le incognite del vinoLamberto Frescobaldi è stato confermato presidente di Unione italiana vini (Uiv) per il prossimo triennio. L’assemblea nazionale ha sottolineato le preoccupazioni legate a calo di fatturato, dazi e consumi. I dati Uiv mostrano una flessione dell’export di vino italiano negli Stati Uniti in aprile: -7,5% a volume, -9,2% a valore, con un calo del prezzo medio del 2%. La frenata è legata all’introduzione dei dazi da parte dell’amministrazione Trump. Il quadrimestre resta stabile (+0,9% a volume, +6,7% a valore), ma la tendenza è in peggioramento. Nei primi 5 mesi del 2025 i consumi di vino italiano negli USA sono calati del 6,3%, con un -10,6% a maggio. Una delle flessioni più nette degli ultimi anni. Frescobaldi ha sottolineato la necessità di rivedere l’assetto del settore vino e ha annunciato un confronto aperto nella prossima assemblea nazionale del 3 luglio a Roma. Martina Paladin, impegnata nell’export per Casa Paladin, ha confermato come la frenata americana si faccia sentire anche per i produttori più strutturati, sottolineando l’urgenza di nuove strategie sui mercati extra-Ue. Il commento è di Lamberto Frescobaldi, presidente Unione italiana vini (Uiv), Martina Paladin, Casa Paladin

Ben 13 regioni italiane hanno stabilito un divieto di lavoro nelle ore più calde della giornata, dalle 12:30 alle 16:00, per motivi sanitari durante l'intensissima ondata di calore in corso. Che ha pure portato alla chiusura della Tour Eiffel a Parigi e dell'Atomium di Bruxelles. C'è stata una prima, storica sentenza della corte d'assise di Vicenza contro i dirigenti di Miteni, condannati per l'inquinamento da Pfas in una delle più grandi falde acquifere italiane in Veneto. La Francia ha emanato un divieto di fumo nelle aree pubbliche potenzialmente frequentate dai minori – come piscine, spiagge, biblioteche, scuole e i loro dintorni. Fabio Ciconte, esperto di filiera alimentare, ci racconta dei fortissimi rischi per la salute che corrono i lavoratori agricoli durante le ondate di calore, troppo spesso senza protezioni. Puoi scriveci a podcast@lifegate.it e trovare tutte le notizie su www.lifegate.it.  

PIcchi di 36 gradi ieri in Veneto. Il provvedimento regionale contiene però solo raccomandazioni ai datori di lavoro: di limitare o evitare le attività lavorative nelle ore più calde e di prevedere rotazioni del personale, garantire adeguata idratazione e sorveglianza sanitaria, adottare abbigliamento e dispositivi di protezione idonei.

Ogni anno, nella notte tra il 28 e il 29 giugno, molte famiglie del Nord Italia, in particolare nel Veneto, Friuli e Lombardia, rinnovano un antico rito popolare: la Barca di San Pietro. Un gesto semplice, ma carico di significati simbolici, che unisce religione, natura e tradizione contadina molto sentito anche nel nostro vicentino.

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.

Per il momento nessuna de-escalation, tra Israele e Iran continua lo scambio di colpi.

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.

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.

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.
