I'm Paul Marden, along with my co-hosts Andy Povey and Sinead Kimberley, I spend my days working with ambitious attractions like theme parks, museums, galleries, and science centres to help them to attract more guests. Paul Marden: Today on Skip the Queue, I'm joined by someone who has been shaping the attractions industry in truly remarkable ways. Massimiliano Freddi is the first Italian ever to hold the role of chairman in IAAPA's 107-year history. A milestone that not only celebrates his career, but also shines a light on Italy's growing influence in the global attractions landscape. Massimiliano has worn many hats across his journey, from fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a Theme Park Managing Director at just 28, where he grew guest numbers from 300,000 to over 800,000, to founding his own destinations like Wonderwood on Lake Maggiore and Wonderwood Spina Verde, overlooking Lake Como. Along the way, he's pioneered inclusive and eco-conscious practices, championing the power of storytelling and shown how attractions can thrive by creating meaningful experiences for every guest.Paul Marden: Beyond his leadership roles, Massimiliano is also a Professor of Marketing and Experience Design at IULM University in Milan, where he's passionate about nurturing the next generation of talent in our sector. Often described as both a dreamer and a doer, he brings together vision and practicality in a way that continues to inspire operators around the world.Paul Marden: Massimilliano, welcome to the show. It really is a pleasure to have you with us. We always start Skip the Queue and the kickoff of season seven, no less, is going to be no different. We always start with an icebreaker question. And I'm thinking back to, we're just back off of our summer holidays, aren't we? For your perfect holiday, would it start with planes, trains or driving.Massimiliano Freddi: Oh, that's a beautiful question. By the way, congratulations because you've pronounced Massimiliano in a very correct way. So that's unusual. I have a complicated name. I know, I know.Massimiliano Freddi: Hey, I would say train. Train is really, really part of the way that I love to travel with. And unfortunately, too often it happens by car, which I like a little bit less. I get dizzy, you know, and stuff. Train is my ultimate, ultimate way to travel.Paul Marden: I did a sleeper train to Scotland a couple of years ago, and it was amazing. I absolutely loved it. And what's brilliant is there's more of those sleeper trains hitting Europe, aren't there now? So there really is very few excuses for us not to be holidaying with the start with some elegant sleeper train. My only disappointment was that there was no murder on the train, so I couldn't have an Agatha Christie style novel themed around my train  journey, but uh, you know.Massimiliano Freddi: I mean, I mean, it could have been the Hogwarts Express, but apparently, it doesn't run every day, so.Paul Marden: That would be pretty cool as well. I've just come back from Edinburgh, actually, and we saw, you know, the viaduct where the train goes to Hogwarts, and completely unplanned, there was a steam train that went over the bridge whilst we were there. It was amazing.Massimiliano Freddi: Happy go lucky.Paul Marden: Yeah. So enough of my holidays. Let's kick off talking about you and IAAPA. What can international markets learn from attractions in Italy? Tell us a little bit about the attractions landscape over there in Italy at the moment.Massimiliano Freddi: Yes. So let's say that the attraction landscape is very similar, somehow, to how the restaurants or the retail landscape has always been, which means a lot of mom and pop stores. And I think that what people who travel to Italy love is to find something that is one of a kind that you can find only in Italy. I have a deep respect for Starbucks, but I'm always... questioning myself, you know, when somebody comes to Italy, do they really want to find Starbucks? Is this a real thing? So when it comes to parks and attractions, Italy has not faced a big concentration in players like it has happened in other countries. Of course, some big players are there. Parques Reunidos owns Mirabilandia, which is the second most important Italian park. And the most important Italian park is Gardaland, owned by Merlin Entertainment. Then we have a few other groups. Owning and operating some of the facilities, but let's say that, out of 250 parks between—or, you said, attractions— that's very correct now, if we talk about attractions, now the number is endless, because where is the border?Paul Marden: What is an attraction? Yeah, that's a big philosophical question.Massimiliano Freddi: Okay, okay, so let's say that, once upon a time, we used to count parks. So when we talk about parks, we have roughly 250 parks in Italy, and most of them are tiny, tiny, tiny, and they are independently owned. That's my case. I own and operate two parks right now, and I'm about to open, a third location that will be an indoor one this November. And so, yes, I think that what what others can learn from Italy i think is to keep this respect for your roots and to make sure that you don't make every attraction look like another one, but you kind of keep it, you know, different.Massimiliano Freddi: And so it's a matter of the mix of how people can have fun and get entertained. But it's really also about retail and about food and about shows and festivals and you name it, you know. So there are these places that we see on Instagram and immediately we say, oh, that's, I mean, when I see a picture of the Empire State Building or of the Tower Bridge. I know immediately where it belongs to. And so I think that, with attractions, we need to think in the future always about this. Guests coming to visit us, they want to have the ultimate experience and they want to have something that's different from anything they've done before. So this is the responsibility we have.Paul Marden: And a big one it is. Let's talk a little bit about the experience economy. And especially when we think about, you know, beyond the parks, there's this... massive ecosystem around the outside of different ways that people can enjoy themselves. What does that experience economy mean to you, especially in Italy?Massimiliano Freddi: The experience economy, first of all, it truly matters to me, the book. Because in 1999, it was once upon a time, it was really difficult to find literature and scientific literature on the leisure industry. And so I think that at that time, we thought that everybody could take inspiration from the attractions industry. And it has happened because right now. Yes, definitely. You know, food is experience and travel is experience and lodging is experience. You name it, you name it. You know, even there is also a funeral house in Italy, which has become very famous because they are really based on the experience they will give, you know, not to the people who passed away, unfortunately, you know, but the people remain. So I think that it's very hard now to find an industry that doesn't think, that we are in the experience economy and that everything should be experienced and experiential. And so I think that when I go back to my example, I think that we as attractions, we need to be even more wise in how we choose to present ourselves and what we cater to our guests.Massimiliano Freddi: Because of course, we need to raise the bar. So right now, we know that some access... And some services to our attractions have become better with technology. But still, we are, you know, long lines sometimes. And we feel we are paying too much for what we are getting back.Massimiliano Freddi: I would say that in the end, experience economy starts with people and ends with people. And so we need to be people-centric. And only like this, we can be truly experiential. I don't think that an experience is about technology.  It's always, always about people.Paul Marden: Absolutely. I wonder as well, I'm always struck by this industry, how close we are, how we collaborate with one another. And really, the competition aren't the other parks or attractions. The competition is getting people out and doing something. There are so many things at home that could keep you at home, getting you out and about and visiting places and enjoying those experiences. I wonder whether collaboration is the answer to this.Massimiliano Freddi: I think you nailed it because it's crucial. Everybody who has not been working for this industry, when they enter the industry, because they might change jobs, everybody is so surprised that we collaborate so heavily. And I think that a key to this success has always been this big collaboration. I have almost always in my career been part of smaller facilities. And to me, IAAPA and the associations were, it's been crucial, you know, because you are alone. Very, very often your facility is in the middle of nowhere. No matter if you're part of a big group, because even big groups have facilities in the middle of nowhere, but for family-owned and operated attractions, that's almost the golden rule.Massimiliano Freddi: And so there are so many days in your life, in your career, in your profession, where you would benefit strongly from talking to somebody else who's been through something like you before and who's found a different solution and who can open up your eyes. So I think that's the beauty of our industries is getting together. Again, if we don't get together, how can we make people get together?Paul Marden: Yeah, I'm very excited about getting together because I've got my first IAAPA in Barcelona coming up. And I'm very excited about what this is going to be like.Massimiliano Freddi: Oh, you will be blown away.Paul Marden:  I can't wait. I absolutely can't wait. Now, look. Someone has once described you as a dreamer and a doer. One of your dreams was to be managing director of a theme park. Where did that inspiration come from?Massimiliano Freddi: So it comes from a terrible childhood. And so it comes from the fact that, yeah, the world around me when I was a kid was not a positive world. And my family had a lot of troubles. And I'm an orphan from the side of my mother. I mean, I went through several things. And so I think that the attractions industry, to me, it really meant this place that's always happy and where grownups can really take great care of kids and kids at heart.Massimiliano Freddi: So I think that my passion came out of that. Now, dreaming and doing, of course, we all have as a big myth and as a reference, Walt Disney himself, and he was the guy who first said, 'Dreamers and doers' talking about, what enterprises, so his imagineers. I think that whenever I see something, I want to say something. Everybody who knows me knows pretty well. But it means that I love to see the world in a constant improvement. So, if I check in at a hotel and I see that there is something in there that, you know, it even doesn't impact me. But with a small step, they could make it better and fix it. I just share it and I share it, you know, wherever I am. And so I think that maybe this was a bit of my secret weapon because I got involved in several things. I think because I'm curious and maybe because I'm generous in sharing.Massimiliano Freddi: And I don't know if there is a secret there. There is just that in the moment in which you accept yourself the way you are and you acknowledge that you have some talents, and you don't have some others, and some skills you can get better, some others no way—okay. I could never never be an attorney, I could never do a lot of jobs on the planet, but now I know, at the age of 44, that I know what I'm good at, and even if I'm good at that, I want to constantly improve. So I think that maybe the support that I could bring to the table to the companies I've worked for, to the associations, to my own business, and so on, it's always been this obsession with constant improvement every day.Paul Marden: I think it takes a certain vulnerability, doesn't it? To spot something that you think can be improved and to offer a suggestion. And I think it's so valuable. I was at an attraction recently and I got the email at the end of the day, saying, 'How was it?' Please leave us a review. I went to click it and it didn't work. I knew the head of marketing, so I just pinged him off a quick email that just said, 'Oh, I had such a brilliant time but I couldn't leave you a review. I wanted to give you a brilliant review, but I couldn't do it because it didn't work. And that led them to go and look at all of their outbound emails, and none of them were working properly. But you know, you could walk by and just leave that alone. But I can't do it. However, it is sometimes does make you feel really awkward, couldn't you? But when I get great services in a restaurant, when somebody looks after me while at an attraction, I want to tell them how good it was, and if I can see something they can do better, I want to tell them what they could do.Massimiliano Freddi:  Totally, totally. And I'm so much on the same page. I was about to say that it's equally important to call people out when they're doing well.Paul Marden: Yeah.Massimiliano Freddi: So to make sure that they are aware. And sometimes, you know, to say there was one day where I travelled during a bank holiday, and I arrived at the entire bank holiday, and I arrived to the airport, and I decided I wanted to thank each and every employee that I would meet because they were there that day. I mean. We got used that Sundays are no longer Sundays, but the bank holidays, these are the moments in which you spend time with your family and with your kids and so on. And if you're there and you're working, I mean, it's good that somebody sees you and tells you, 'Hey, thank you because you're working even today, you know?' And you can tell how everybody gets surprised. So I think that we learn so much more by positive reinforcement.Massimiliano Freddi: And so how important it is also to tell attractions, facilities, managers, CEOs. I mean, CEOs, they are so used to just getting... I can't use swear words. Yes, you can. Under those kind of storms, you know, all the time, all the time. And so when a CEO does something good, come on, let's tell her.Paul Marden: Yeah, it's a really lonely job. And all you get is... is the spankings and the tellings off. Isn't it? So when they get it right, they definitely need a pat on the back because they're not going to get it. They're not going to get it. So I can't believe this. At the age of 28, you made your dream come true and you were managing director of a theme park in Italy for Minitalia, which became Leolandia, in this role you took guest numbers from 300, 000 guests a year to over 800,000.Paul Marden: Tell us that story. How do you so dramatically increase footfall at the attraction?Massimiliano Freddi: I don't think it was me. I think it was a great teamwork because it's a great teamwork, you know, and you can grow this much. If your operation is working very well, if your safety is right on spot, if the park is clean, you know, and so on. I can tell you one thing that when we were at the basic level, so at the very beginning, of course, we couldn't afford to buy big attractions or too heavily themed. And we needed really, I remember that the first Halloween, we had a 10K budget, 10,000 euro budget for a whole month of Halloween. Okay, so we would go to the do-it-yourself stores and buy brooms and build everything. I mean, that was a magical moment because it created the capability of the team to envision that, if you want, you can do with the things you have. And of course, with a huge budget, you can do fantastic things.Massimiliano Freddi: But sometimes, you know, this helps. So in that moment... TripAdvisor was a true success still. We're talking about 20 years ago. So TripAdvisor was kind of the reference. That's even before Google Maps and all that. So I remember that I did an analysis and I understood that every restaurant or park who had over 4. 5 out of 5 was growing. And having 4 out of 5 was not enough. Now we call it NPS, we call it a different way. But there, in this practical way, so I remember this moment with my team saying, 'Hey, we need to be obsessed with getting five stars.' And this is the point. So what can we do? First of all, we can have the cleanest toilets on earth. Let's make sure that the smell is good, they are super clean, and so on. Because people, that's a level of service. Of course, this is not a driver of visit, but this is a driver of satisfaction. And in the same way, let's start to work with better suppliers when it comes to food and beverage.Massimiliano Freddi: Let's start to make things more comfortable. So I think that this was the first thing. The second aspect, again, it's very much linked to IAAPA because I think that attending the show every year and knowing the people. At that time, Jakob Wahl, he used to be one of the employees of IAAPA in Brussels. I don't think he was a manager at the time yet. He was in charge of keeping relationships with members. So I reached out to him. We are the same age. I reached out to him and I said, 'Hey, I would love to visit a few facilities in other countries because I need to get fresh ideas.' It was a very delicate moment. We came out of two bad seasons due to bad weather. Because then you know, you don't go from here to here as a straight line, but always as this roller coaster. And in a moment you think, 'Oh, I made it.' There's a dip.Paul Marden: Yeah.Massimiliano Freddi: You can never sleep. And so he put me in contact with several facilities. I visited some in Belgium, in the Netherlands, and in the UK. And in the UK, I visited this, at that time, small park still called Paulton's Park. You might know that. I remember it was a weekday with bad weather and the parking lot was packed. And I was like, 'How comes?' Kids are not at school today. What is the point? I enter the park. The park is, yeah, not so crowded. So I really suspect that they are, you know, keeping the people all shut down together in a place. I don't know. I don't know what the point was. And then I enter the Peppa Pig's World.Massimiliano Freddi: And it blows my mind. And again, what blows my mind is that it didn't have any huge attraction. But it had that feeling. And people were just so happy. It was magic. Little kids there with their families, a lot of strollers all over the place, traffic jams due to strollers. And so I came back and I said, 'Hey, we need to get Peppa Pig.' And I remember that the team was like, 'It can't happen.' It has happened. In the end, we were the second park in the world after Paulton's Park to get Peppa. And that reshaped the entire strategy of the park we had at that time, turning it into what we wanted to achieve, is to become the best park for the kids under the age of 10 in Southern Europe. And best means really the best, rated from the bottom of the heart. And so this is what has happened. So I think that, you know, before Leolandia, I had worked for Disneyland Paris and I'm a big Disney fan. So that was kind of the school I had attended and I just had to apply. The theory that I've learned, I had to apply it, and I had a fantastic team and the resources to do that.Paul Marden: Amazing. Now, fast forward to 2018, and you've taken the step from MD to founder and founded Wonderwood on Lake Maggiore. Now, let's test my Italian. You've also founded Wonderwood Spina Verde. Massimiliano Freddi: I'm speechless. I can't correct anything.Paul Marden: Wonderful. Overlooking Lake Como, both of which, by the way, were... So I've been to Maggiore and Lake Como for my honeymoon. So a beautiful, beautiful place. And you've put two parks there. How has that been?Massimiliano Freddi:  It has been crazy. So I remember that the first year, and I mean, we created the company at the end of 2018. We've opened our gates in the summer of 2019. Now, if we all remember what has happened at the beginning of 2020.Paul Marden: Yeah.Massimiliano Freddi: Okay, so perfect timing. Now, I can tell you that the first season, every day, I would literally cry, but for real.Massimilliano Freddi: I was exhausted. My husband was exhausted. We thought that this was a nightmare, the worst possible nightmare. And if somebody had knocked on my door and asked me, 'Hey, could I just take it over?' I don't give you a penny. I will just take home the loans. I would have said yes. And that's because, of course, every project is over budget. Of course. No matter. No matter.Massimiliano Freddi: And when it's a family company and you don't have the money because you've contracted several loans and so on, it makes it super, super difficult. So in that moment, my call for action was because the possibility of Lake Maggiore was in the town where I spent every summer as a kid. So it was a love story. And I wanted to give back to the community. I wanted to do something in the nature that would inspire kids to hike more. To become more active and just not only to stay in front of a screen, but to do something different. So that came out of this kind of dream. And so it was a nightmare. It was a nightmare at the very beginning. Then COVID hit and we were very lucky, of course, because we didn't lose anyone from our families and friends. So I am very thankful for that. And at the same time, it gave us the possibility to stop for a second, rewind, and refine our strategy.Massimiliano Freddi: Because we had just closed the park in, I mean, the week before Christmas, and we were supposed to reopen in less than three months, but we were exhausted. So I'm telling this story because usually it's so nice to tell that the triumphs, you know, and say, 'Hey, it's been fantastic.' Yeah, we nailed it. We had, no, we made 200 mistakes.Massimiliano Freddi: And we paid for all the mistakes. So I think that in that moment, yeah, we were struggling at the beginning. We were reflecting in the middle part. And then three years ago, two to three years ago, I woke up one morning and I understood that I really loved what I was doing. And it had changed. It had changed. And seeing so many families happy and so many people visiting and seeing... How many young professionals or students started to work with us and then you see them leaping? I think that this is the most beautiful thing on earth. It's very empowering. So right now I'm in this situation where I am so grateful for this entire six years, even if they started in a way that was very, very heavy. But, you know, the Latins used to say 'per aspera ad astra.' It means... 'towards the stars through the asperities.' And so we need to go through that thing, that tunnel.Paul Marden: Absolutely. Now, as if founding your own parks wasn't enough, you also mix your time as a professor at the university. I can hear from what you were talking about, about bringing the young professionals into the park, that there's an element to you of apprenticeship almost, of teaching that next cohort of people that are going to come and take over the world.Paul Marden: How exciting is that for you to be able to mix that in at the university?Massimiliano Freddi: It's fantastic. It's fantastic. And again, it came out of passion. It came out. I didn't do a PhD after my university. My career wasn't supposed to be the academic one. And I didn't trust I would be able to do that. And then I got called for a lecture, then two lectures, and three lectures. And then, right now, I have several courses at university.Massimiliano Freddi: There's a point. The point is that, if we meet between our age of 14, 14, 15, until our 25, and if we narrow it down, it's between maybe 16 and 22, this is the moment in which it's more important to meet some mentors. And most of us don't meet mentors. They meet nice people around them, giving them very nice advice based on their experience and not seeing the talents they have in front of them. And in several cases, we are scared. We think that we are not enough. And so I really think that it's such a huge privilege for me to be able to be at university and to meet so many hundreds of students every year and to try to make my small impact so that, first of all, they can believe in themselves and they can believe that the world can be a better place, even if right now it's kind of a tough moment. But from tough moments, again, we can learn things.Massimiliano Freddi: Even at IAAPA, one of the things that I really am passionate more about is what are the spaces we can create for young professionals and students. So I want to give two very short examples. The IAAPA Foundation has evolved a lot over the last few years. We were able to collect so many more donations.Massimiliano Freddi: And now, this year, it will be a record-breaking year when it comes to scholarships to which students can apply in universities around the globe. So I think that's... But to me and to all of us in the board of the IAAPA Foundation, that's like the starting point. We are here celebrating because it's a big achievement and then we look each other in the eyes and say, 'Okay, now what's next?' Now, how can we make sure that the impact is even bigger? And if we go on the side of IAAPA, I think we are very... We pay a lot of attention to make sure that the membership fees are very low for the people entering. The word of leisure. Just a few weeks ago, it got launched on the IAAPA job board that whoever has a company and wants to post an internship, that's free to post. So that, you know, there could be thousands of internships available for students.Massimiliano Freddi: Of course, as a big association, we are used to talk to members and maybe older members because we visit facilities and we visit manufacturers and we need to deal with safety and stuff. But students and young professionals are not on the back of my head. They are like near and dear to my heart. And so my real question is: when this year ends in a couple of months, how can I dedicate myself even more to contribute to young people? Because I think that they are making a change. They will make a change. And we are learning so much from them because the work we are leaving you and me right now. I have bad news. It's no longer our world. We don't have the code to decode that. So we don't have the keys. We can just support people that are better than us and make sure that they can live, that they can teach, that they can learn.  That's a bit of what I see.Paul Marden: I completely agree with you. I think it's interesting because you talk about what you're giving, but you're also getting something back. This is not entirely altruistic, is it? The support that you're giving for these young people and early career professionals, you're getting something back, enriching yourself and learning new things from them.Massimiliano Freddi: Always, always. And I think that, you know, I don't always teach. Market leisure marketing and stuff— you know, I teach marketing at a at a Master's Degree in Management of Beauty and Wellness, total different industry, you know, food and wine. As I was telling, but what I bring home every time is how much young people need to feel seen and, and this is truly important because if we create for them not a safe zone, because of course we want them to get messy. We want them to take risks, but they need to feel safe as humans and they need to feel safe as seen. And so I appreciate a lot this because then the energy that I... And you know, when we talk about IAAPA, we have so many ambassadors that have been contributing to the IAAPA trade shows and events all over the globe. We have young people joining the committees.Massimiliano Freddi: Right now, there are a few, more than a few young professional task forces around the globe that are really helping us, old people, to understand what they need. So I think that we are at the very beginning. And if I could say a dream out loud, I wish that IAAPA in five or ten years, maybe in five years, can multiply the number of young engaged people in the association by 100. 10 is not enough. 20 is by 100. We need to make an impact. And I think we want to make an impact. So hopefully.Paul Marden: Well, there's an ambition for you. And I think every... worthwhile project— every it always starts with that kind of ambitious goal— at the very beginning of it you need to be driven by that  hundred times impact not the 10 times impact we we always like to finish our interviews with a book recommendation, fiction, non-fiction, industry-related or not, give us a view uh into your reading habits, okay, so can I mention more than one book? You bankrupt me because I always offer the book recommendation as a prize for people, but you can have more than one.Massimiliano Freddi: Okay. Okay. Thank you because I'm a big reader. So the first author that I would love to mention is J. K. Rowling because Harry Potter is not just a story of a kid or of magic, but it's a story of a woman who was a bit desperate. And then... She followed what she was feeling. She allowed her emotions to flow. And she has created a masterpiece. And she has impacted us all, you know, no matter business-related, non-business-related, and so on. So I think that, to read again, the first Harry Potter book, it's very important because it brings us back to some reason why, you know, and to some things. The second book that I would love to mention is a book written by Seth Godin. I have had the privilege to work for Seth for several years.Paul Marden: Really?Massimiliano Freddi: And yeah, he's an amazing guy. He's an amazing guy. And come on, he's such a generous person and he's amazing.Massimiliano Freddi: I don't have any other words that's amazing. He wrote a book maybe 10 years ago, 15 years ago called Linchpin. And Linchpin is not his most famous book, but it's the book that changed my life because it really nudges you. In a gentle and not so gentle way sometimes. No, I'm saying in a gentle way. It nudges you to don't set for what you have, but to see your inner talents and to innovate and to be creative, be generous, and so on. So, Linchpin to me is the book that changed it all for me. So, I think that everybody, young, less young, everybody should read once in a lifetime.Paul Marden: I feel like I need to go and read this because that is one Seth Godin book I have not read. So there we go. Listeners, if you would like a copy of Linchpin, then the first person that heads over to LinkedIn and reposts our show notice and says, 'I want Massimiliano's book' and can spell Massimiliano correctly, will have a copy of the book sent to them. We've got IAAPA Europe taking place next week in Barcelona.Paul Marden: And we have a very special Skip the Queue announcement. We are going to be hitting the show floor on a daily basis. We are going to go live for daily episodes of Skip the Queue from the show floor. We're going to be talking to operators about what their challenges are like. Finding out what new supplier announcements are coming out. And the Skip the Queue team is going to be feverishly working away. We'll be recording during the day and Steve and Wenalyn will be editing and producing through the night, ready to post the show the following morning. So I'm very excited about that.Massimiliano Freddi: And I think we are super excited to have you guys on the trade show floor. And I recommend... Of course, visiting it, making the most out of it, and don't underestimate the fantastic education sessions that take place. There is a strong lineup of speakers that will impact the way that the industry will be in a few years. So, great opportunity.Paul Marden:  How's that for a trailer? That sounds amazing. Massimilliano, it really has been a pleasure to talk to you.Massimiliano Freddi: Thank you so much, Paul, for me as well. And see you in Barcelona.Paul Marden: Yes, how exciting. Looking forward to it.Paul Marden: Remember, if you'd like a copy of today's book, head over to LinkedIn and repost our show notice saying, 'I want a copy of Massimiliano's book.'

Domenica 03 novembre #onderoad vi porta nel Parco Nazionale della Val Grande, nel cuore della provincia del Verbano Cusio Ossola. E' l'area selvaggia più vasta d'ltalia, una wilderness a due passi dalla civiltà. Un santuario dell'ambiente dove la natura sta lentamente recuperando i suoi spazi, dove boschi senza fine, acque trasparenti e silenzi incontrastati accompagnano ogni passo del visitatore. Ma per contrappasso, giusto per ricordare come siamo messi, si parlerà anche delle aree a rischio desertificazione nel Bel Paese. Un fenomeno che, contrariamente a quanto ci si aspetterebbe, non è presente solo al Sud...

Tra la fine di settembre e gli inizi di ottobre del 1943 le forze d'occupazione naziste compiono la prima strage di ebrei sul territorio italiano. Gli arresti e le stragi avvennero sulle sponde del lago Maggiore, tra le attuali province di Novara e Verbano Cusio Ossola: a Meina, piccolo comune della provincia novarese, si consumò l'eccidio più noto, nell'Hotel Meina, di proprietà dell'imprenditore ebreo turco Alberto Behar. Proprio Behar, e la sua famiglia, furono tra i pochi a salvarsi dalla strage. Tra i superstiti c'era anche la piccola Becky Behar, allora tredicenne. E oggi sua figlia, Rossana Ottolenghi, racconta in questo nuovo episodio del podcast “Voci della memoria” a cura di Alessia Tripodi, giornalista de Il Sole 24 Ore, la sua storia. Che dal lontano 1943 arriva fino a oggi, fino a pochi mesi fa, quando Rossana ha incontrato una discendente di uno dei carnefici di Meina.

Chiara Bartolozziprogramme officer di Fondazione Cariplo responsabile di #ioleggoperchè Lab Nidi progetto pilota al I anno, ideato con AIE Associazione Italiana Editori nell'ambito del progetto #ioleggopercheL'impatto di #ioleggoperché Lab Nidi: dotazione libraria aumentata del 50% in 250 nidi di aree disagiate della Lombardia e del Piemonte.Coinvolti nel progetto, a cura di AIE e Fondazione Cariplo, oltre 7000 bimbi e 1250 educatori Educatori costretti, prima dell'iniziativa, a portarsi i libri da casa nel 70% dei casi.Presentata alla Bologna Children's Book Fair l'indagine a cura dell'Università di Bologna- Dipartimento Economia e dell'Ufficio studi AIE Bologna.Servono più libri a disposizione di educatori e piccoli nei nidi per contrastare le diseguaglianze, specie nelle aree più disagiate del Paese. Grazie al progetto pilota #ioleggoperchéLAB-NIDI, organizzato dall'Associazione Italiana Editori (AIE) in stretta collaborazione con Fondazione Cariplo, 250 nidi in aree fragili della Lombardia e delle province piemontesi di Novara e del Verbano-Cusio-Ossola hanno potuto far crescere la dotazione delle loro biblioteche del 50%, coinvolgendo oltre settemila bimbi e 1250 educatori in attività con e attraverso i libri. Un intervento puntuale in contesti di bisogno delle due regioni: il 70% degli educatori intervistati ha dichiarato infatti di utilizzare, prima del progetto, libri personali, portati da casa, per poter svolgere attività in aula. Sono solo alcuni dei risultati dell'indagine (la sintesi è in allegato), condotta dall'Università di Bologna – Dipartimento di Economia, a cura del prof. Antonello Scorcu, e dall'Ufficio studi AIE, presentati alla Bologna Children's Book Fair per documentare i primi esiti dell'iniziativa, che ha il supporto dell'Osservatorio bibliografico Nati per Leggere, dell'Università di Bologna e della Bologna Children's Bookfair stessa: “Con questo progetto, insieme ad AIE, ci siamo rivolti al mondo dei più piccoli e lo abbiamo fatto andandoli a cercare in modo capillare – ha sottolineato il presidente di Fondazione Cariplo Giovanni Fosti -. #ioleggoperchéLAB-NIDI ha sperimentato una nuova modalità di azione, a partire dall'idea che per accorciare le distanze sia necessario non tanto moltiplicare l'offerta, ma portare più opportunità dove ce ne sono meno. Per questo il progetto ha lavorato per individuare e coinvolgere proprio quei nidi che vedevano la presenza di famiglie in maggiore difficoltà e le ricerche sul suo impatto ci confermano che dove il contesto è più fragile lo sforzo deve essere maggiore. Ci auguriamo quindi che questa sperimentazione possa proseguire e ampliarsi: vogliamo continuare a creare valore per tutti i soggetti coinvolti, e generare conoscenza che permetta di intervenire sempre meglio per il futuro dei nostri bambini.”“L'obiettivo – ha commentato il presidente di AIE Ricardo Franco Levi – è stato quello di aiutare ad avvicinare i più piccoli ai libri e alla lettura, certi che i nidi siano una risorsa educativa preziosa e uno strumento fondamentale di contrasto alle diseguaglianze e di inclusione sociale. Servono libri per cambiare le cose, fin da piccolissimi, e ancora di più nelle aree disagiate. Questo progetto, possibile solo grazie al sostegno di Fondazione Cariplo, sperimenta per la prima volta il modello di #ioleggoperché su un terreno inesplorato come quello dei nidi e grazie all'indagine condotta insieme all'Università di Bologna ci dice, fin d'ora, che il lavoro fatto ha un impatto. Ci auguriamo che questa iniziativa possa fare da apripista per altri territori”.#ioleggoperchéLAB-NIDI costituisce infatti uno spin off di #ioleggoperché, la grande iniziativa di AIE per il potenziamento delle biblioteche scolastiche che in sette anni ha portato quasi 2,5milioni di libri nelle scuole italiane: i 250 nidi selezionati da Fondazione Cariplo hanno partecipato a #ioleggoperché, ricevendo libri donati dalle famiglie durante la settimana del 5-13 novembre e acquistati nelle librerie del territorio gemellate, una dotazione di 10 libri, uguali per tutti, scelti dall'Osservatorio bibliografico di Nati per Leggere, e 11 video formativi, sempre a cura di Nati per leggere, ad uso di genitori ed educatori.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Giovanna Malgaroli"Io leggo perché"https://www.ioleggoperche.it/Fino al 13 novembre doniamo un libro alle scuole: ben 3,8milioni di studenti coinvolti, 23.240 scuole, 3.275 librerie Per la prima volta, anche 250 nidi della Lombardia e delle province di Novara e del Verbano Cusio Ossola, grazie a Fondazione Cariplo. E #ioleggoperchéLAB Calabria, per un nuovo modello di promozione della lettura #ioleggoperché quest'anno porta in campo lo sport: Sofia Goggia ambassador, insieme a Rudy Zerbi Levi (AIE): “Costruiamo con i libri il mondo del futuro. Dal 5 al 13 novembre tutti in libreria per dare un'occasione di futuro ai nostri giovani” L'indagine AIE (su circa 2.000 scuole dell'edizione 2021): più di 1 scuola su 4 senza biblioteca scolastica, prima di ricevere i libri di #ioleggoperché Dal 5 novembre la campagna di comunicazione della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri su Rai e la campagna sociale su Mediaset, Sky e la7 Una nuova edizione da record: muove 23.240 scuole, 250 nidi e 3.275 librerie la settima edizione di #ioleggoperché, l'iniziativa nazionale dell'Associazione Italiana Editori (AIE) per la creazione e il potenziamento delle biblioteche scolastiche, che avrà il suo culmine dal 5 al 13 novembre: nei nove giorni tutti potranno andare nelle librerie aderenti e donare un libro per le biblioteche scolastiche. “Con un obiettivo comune – spiega il presidente di AIE Ricardo Franco Levi -: costruire con i libri il mondo del futuro, come recita la campagna di quest'anno. #ioleggoperché è frutto del lavoro di una grande squadra: istituzioni, editori, media, mondo del libro, mondo dello sport. Ci auguriamo che dal 5 al 13 tutti gli italiani vadano in libreria, a ogni livello, per un gesto semplice ma straordinario come dare un'occasione di futuro ai nostri giovani”.L'iniziativa è realizzata da AIE ancora una volta con un grande lavoro di squadra: con il sostegno del Ministero per la Cultura – Direzione Generale Biblioteche e Diritto d'Autore e del Centro per il Libro e la Lettura, a cui si aggiunge in questa edizione il Dipartimento per lo Sport della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri; in collaborazione con il Ministero dell'Istruzione, con il Dipartimento dell'Editoria e dell'Informazione e di tutto il mondo del libro (Associazione Librai Italiani, Sindacato Italiano Librai e Cartolibrai e Associazione Italiana Biblioteche), con il patrocinio della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri, con il supporto di Fondazione Cariplo e di SIAE – Società Italiana degli Autori ed Editori. L'IMPATTO DI #IOLEGGOPERCHÈL'indagine condotta dall'Ufficio Studi AIE su 1.956 scuole (su un totale di 20.388) aderenti all'edizione scorsa ha evidenziato una significativa crescita dell'impatto di #ioleggoperchè sulle biblioteche scolastiche italiane. Ben il 27,1% delle rispondenti infatti (più di 1 su 4) non aveva ancora una biblioteca scolastica nel 2021, prima di ricevere i libri di #ioleggoperché. Tra quelle che l'avevano, ben il 63,3% ha un patrimonio librario inferiore ai 1000 volumi. Di qui il bisogno di libri nuovi e la natura sociale del progetto.Le biblioteche scolastiche create funzionano anche da ponte con le famiglie: in media ogni scuola rispondente ha fatto 454 prestiti ai ragazzi e in media i prestiti medi per alunno, per portarsi a casa i libri e magari leggerli in famiglia, sono stati 3.L'utilizzo dei libri a scuola ha prodotto attività significative: i laboratori di lettura sono state le iniziative maggiormente attivate come effetto della manifestazione (65% delle scuole, con punte dell'80% tra le scuole primarie).Per più di 1 scuola rispondente su 2 (56% delle risposte) #ioleggoperché ha favorito la promozione della lettura tra gli studenti. NUMERI IN COSTANTE CRESCITA DI SCUOLE E LIBRERIEBen 23.240 le scuole che parteciperanno in tutta Italia - di cui 9.320 dell'Infanzia, 8.681 delle Primarie, 3.893 delle secondarie di primo grado e 1.345 delle secondarie di secondo grado -, per un numero complessivo di 189.229 classi e 3,8 milioni (per la precisione 3.770.529) di studenti. La distribuzione geografica delle adesioni ha segnato una omogeneità tra nord, centro e sud e isole dello Stivale: Nord Ovest 26%, Nord Est 22%, Centro 20%, Sud 22%, Isole 10%.Tra le regioni che spiccano per partecipazione, oltre alla Lombardia che si conferma la più attiva, si segnalano Emilia-Romagna, Piemonte, Sicilia, Puglia e Toscana.La partecipazione delle librerie è stata straordinaria con 3.275 punti vendita aderenti (rispetto alle 2.743 dell'anno scorso).Sulla piattaforma on line www.ioleggoperche.it i gemellaggi attivati tra scuole iscritte e le librerie aderenti – il cuore del meccanismo che fa funzionare il progetto – sono ben 60.427 (rispetto ai 52.507 gemellaggi del 2021). Anche quest'anno sarà possibile l'acquisto da remoto (l'elenco delle librerie che rendono disponibile questo servizio è sul sito). PER LA PRIMA VOLTA ANCHE I NIDIDa quest'anno il progetto – che ha il suo culmine proprio dal 5 al 13 novembre - si dilata anche nel tempo, con due novità inserite nella piattaforma di sperimentazione nazionale ioleggopercheLAB: la prima è legata a #ioleggoperchéLAB – NIDI, l'iniziativa di AIE in stretta collaborazione con Fondazione Cariplo e con l'Osservatorio bibliografico Nati per leggere, Università di Bologna e Calabria e Bologna Children's Bookfair: nel primo anno del progetto-pilota sono stati coinvolti e hanno aderito ben 250 nidi del territorio lombardo e del Verbano Cusio Ossola (Piemonte), ambito di lavoro della Fondazione, che si sono gemellati con le librerie e che potranno ricevere i libri – come tutte le altre scuole italiane partecipanti - nella settimana delle donazioni.Speciale sarà il lavoro che sarà avviato: grazie a una dotazione di 10 titoli individuati dall'osservatorio bibliografico Nati per leggere (la scheda è in allegato) questi 250 nidi potranno sviluppare progetti di lettura con i più piccoli. Su questi 10 titoli l'Osservatorio bibliografico Nati per leggere - il programma di Associazione Culturale Pediatri, Associazione Italiana Biblioteche e Centro per la Salute del Bambino – ha realizzato 11 video con spunti didattici ad hoc per genitori ed educatori come occasione formativa, per tutti gli asili nido italiani, per mostrare come condividere i libri con i bambini. Per la prima volta l'attività sarà “misurata” in termini di impatto grazie all'aiuto di un gruppo di lavoro esperto delle Università di Bologna e della Calabria. I primi esiti saranno presentati a inizio marzo alla Bologna Children's Bookfair. “Portare i libri nei nidi – ha spiegato Giovanni Fosti, presidente di Fondazione Cariplo - significa offrire ai bambini la possibilità di apprendere, fin da piccolissimi, competenze determinanti come ascoltare, capire, esprimersi, immedesimarsi. Lo abbiamo fatto con l'obiettivo di dare opportunità dove ce ne sono meno, individuando e sostenendo per primi quei nidi che vedono una maggior presenza di bambini provenienti da contesti di fragilità, e offrendo un supporto alla formazione degli educatori e dei genitori, perché possano essere aiutati nel loro compito, così cruciale per il futuro dei bambini. Per Fondazione Cariplo la lettura è una forma di contrasto alla disuguaglianza perché permette di aprire uno sguardo nuovo su di sé e sugli altri, valorizzando il desiderio e abilitando il potenziale di ciascuno.” IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Pesce d'acqua dolce, dolce miele, ottimo Prunent...oggi lo chef Oldani e Pier Pardo viaggiano in Piemonte, dal Distretto dei Laghi alla Val d'Ossola. Iniziamo con Gente di lago (vera e acquisita): Andrea Lo Cicero, ex rugbista e volto del canale tv Gambero Rosso ci parlerà della sua passione per il pesce di lago che condivide con l'amico chef Marco Sacco del ristorante due Stelle Michelin "Piccolo Lago" di Mergozzo. Da uno chef all'altro: Giorgio Bartolucci è il primo stellato della Val d'Ossola con il suo "Atelier" di Domodossola. Fatalità, lo chef Bartolucci ha frequentato l'alberghiero "E. Maggia" di Stresa che oggi ci regala con i suoi studenti la ricetta della Scarpazza, pietanza tipica ossolana. Si è chiusa lunedì a Milano Golosaria 2021. La rassegna enogastronomica di Paolo Massobrio e Marco Gatti è tornata in presenza con una grande partecipazione di pubblico.

Il Verbano Cusio Ossola è una terra di confine. A pochi chilometri c'è la Svizzera, di fronte, sull'altra sponda del lago Maggiore, la Lombardia. Dall'autunno 2017 il Comitato Vco e Novara per la Lombardia ha iniziato l'iter burocratico per indire un referendum. Il desiderio: lasciare il Piemonte e passare sotto la guida politico-amministrativa di Milano. Una volontà popolare che il Consiglio provinciale ha accolto, ma i cui passaggi legislativi da compiere sono ancora lunghi. E su questo argomento il presidente della Regione Sergio Chiamparino è sicuro: da parte sua non ha nulla da rimproverarsi.
