Chris is in Verona to assess the mood in the England camp after three successive defeats. Is the shirt weighing heavy on the players? Will we see a new gameplan in Paris? We hear from Steve Borthwick on all this and the exchange between Maro Itoje and Fin Smith in Rome. Ollie Chessum talks about the ‘hurt' he felt after losing his starting place, and he explains how the players and coaches are as tight as ever despite recent results. We also catch up with our England centurion to get his take on matters. Danny outlines what he wants to see from Ben Spencer this weekend as England look to avoid losing four matches in the Six Nations for the first time.

Daniele Olschki"140 anni di libri"La casa editrice Olschki, fondata nel 1886 a Verona da Leone Samuele Olschki – bibliofilo di origine prussiana –, poi trasferitosi a Firenze, celebra nel 2026 i suoi 140 anni. Oggi guidata dalla quinta generazione, ha attraversato tre secoli, due guerre mondiali, esili forzati, leggi razziali, distruzioni belliche e alluvioni, mantenendo un catalogo focalizzato sulle scienze umanistiche nella più vasta accezione del termine, che oggi supera i 6.000 titoli.Le celebrazioni si sono aperte a febbraio con alcuni appuntamenti nell'ambito della quinta edizione di TESTO2026. Tra questi, una mostra presso la Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze, aperta fino al 14 marzo, in cui vengono ripercorse le tappe fondamentali della storia di Olschki attraverso alcune opere librarie monumentali. Dal 14 al 18 maggio, poi, la casa editrice parteciperà al Salone internazionale del libro di Torino, con uno stand dove riscoprire il catalogo e le novità in corso di pubblicazione, e proponendo l'evento intitolato Dante Globale, che metterà a confronto prospettive internazionali sulla fortuna dell'Alighieri e della Commedia nel mondo, a partire da America, Russia e Cina.Il culmine delle celebrazioni sarà il 10 giugno a Palazzo Vecchio, nel Salone dei Cinquecento, con una giornata di festeggiamenti insieme a tutti gli autori, le autrici, i collaboratori, le collaboratrici e le istituzioni che hanno contributo alla fortuna della casa editrice Olschki. All'evento, che sarà visibile in diretta streaming, parteciperanno Padre Bernardo, il professor Carlo Sisi, Daniele Olschki e Carlo Ossola, Lucia Tongiorgi Tomasi, Cristina Acidini, Lorenzo Bianconi, Giuseppina La Face, Edoardo Barbieri e Giuliano Pinto per la sezione scientifica del catalogo. Chiuderà la giornata Gherardo Olschki, per una panoramica sulle prospettive presenti e future della casa editrice. In più, nei mesi successivi, la Olschki aprirà le porte di Villa Doni, situata in viuzzo del Pozzetto 8 a Firenze, la storica sede della casa editrice, dando la possibilità al pubblico di conoscere l'azienda, la sua storia e il suo patrimonio materiale e immateriale, con la prospettiva di future visite guidate e l'apertura di un caffè letterario. In autunno, dal 2 al 4 ottobre, la Olschki prevede di partecipare al Pisa Book Festival; mentre a Firenze, grazie alla rete di collaborazioni storiche con le istituzioni culturali cittadine come quella con il Gabinetto Vieusseux, ha in programma una serie di eventi e presentazioni dedicati alla storia editoriale, alle scelte tipografiche e alla progettazione dei libri, rafforzando il legame tra tradizione, innovazione e responsabilità culturale che da sempre la caratterizza.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

The ancient Verona Arena that hosted the opening ceremony for Friday's Milan Cortina Paralympic Games has been undergoing a raft of accessibility changes to bring it in line with the sport event's values of equality. The modifications to the arena, which dates back around 2,000 years, include ramps, protective railings and, after the games, an elevator. The work has been undertaken as part of some 20 million euros ($23 million) worth of improvements funded by the Italian government to enhance accessibility throughout Verona.

The Milano-Cortina Winter Paralympic Games kicked off Friday with an opening ceremony at an amphitheater in Verona, a UNESCO world heritage city in northern Italy. Over 600 athletes from a record 55 countries and regions will vie for medals in 79 events across six sports at the first winter Paralympics in Italy since the 2006 Turin Games. A total of 44 Japanese athletes will compete in all six sports, making it the largest Japanese delegation for a winter Paralympic Games held outside of Japan. Considering the burden of travel caused by the dispersed venues, each country and region was encouraged to have only two athletes attend the opening ceremony. Snowboarder Junta Kosuda and curling player Aki Ogawa carried the Japanese flag in the ceremony. Japanese Paralympians are just three medals shy of reaching a 100 cumulative medals won at the Winter Games. The country netted 24 medals at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics held last month, a record high for the Winter Olympics.

Please follow us on: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso share their recent experiences moving to Italy, including challenging administrative tasks and funny observations. They also provide insights into upcoming travel changes in Italy, highlight various festivals, and discuss the growing issue of AI-generated travel content. Key Points: Navigating Italian Bureaucracy: Kimberly and Tommaso discuss the difficulties of setting up utilities and managing documents in Italy. Kimberly shares a humorous anecdote about forgetting her passport for a critical appointment, despite having submitted many copies previously. Tommaso jokes about the prevalence of hex screws in Italian furniture assembly, suggesting archaeologists would be confused by their abundance. Upcoming Travel Changes and Festivals: Kimberly mentions the ongoing, lengthy immigration process, which will take over a year and a half to complete. They praise the Arena di Verona, the venue for the recent Olympics closing ceremony, for its preservation and beauty. Kimberly and Tommaso talk about upcoming Italian festivals, including the Olive Oil Festival in Monopoli and the San Nicola celebration in Bari. Other events mentioned include the Valle d'Itria opera festival in Martina Franca and the Loco Rotondo Grape Festival in Puglia. They also highlight unique festivals in Tuscany, like the Palio di Somari (donkey race) in Torrita di Siena, and Pisa's Luminaria di San Ranieri, a candlelit celebration along the Arno River. Annoying Travel Updates: Rome has started charging a two-euro fee to see the Trevi Fountain, following a successful experiment with an elevated walkway to control tourist flow. Kimberly and Tommaso discuss the delayed rollout of the EES (Entry-Exit System) and the Aetius Visa, noting long lines and potential four-hour delays at major European airports. They advise travelers to consider flying into smaller EU airports to avoid potential bottlenecks. The DHS's shutdown of Global Pass in the US is also noted as a potential issue for American travelers returning from Italy. Rome recently removed 12 iconic umbrella-shaped pine trees from the Via dei Fori Imperiali due to age and safety concerns after several fell and injured pedestrians. Agriturismo Experiences: Agriturismos (renovated farmhouses offering accommodations) are growing in popularity across Italy. These establishments provide organic, farm-to-table food, often with their own vineyards, and many activities like cooking classes, olive oil tastings, and yoga. Kimberly highlights the historical context of agriturismos, which emerged after WWII to revive rural farm life and encourage tourism. She describes waking up to the sounds of cowbells, enjoying fresh farm eggs, homemade bread, and goat cheese, all with modern amenities. Beware of AI Slop: Tommaso expresses frustration with “AI slop,” online articles generated by artificial intelligence that provide unauthentic or inaccurate travel information. He cites examples of articles recommending crowded tourist spots like Siena and Lucca as places “where tourists won't go.” Kimberly adds that these websites often automatically launch booking platforms and feature fake family photos. They encourage listeners to seek out authentic travel information from real people with local experience, differentiating between genuine content creators and purely digital, ad-driven sites.

Valpolicella Ripasso is one of the most fascinating wines we have ever had. It's not just the flavor, which slaps, but also the process and history behind it. We don't want to spoil it before you listen, but the Ripasso method is a totally unique approach to wine making that aspiring wine nerds absolutely need to know! Hailing from the beautiful area around Verona, Italy (yes, the place where Romeo and Juliet hung out), Valpolicella is known for not just one, but four different styles of red wine which we dig into because each has an important place in the production of Valpolicella Ripasso. The result of the amazing process of Ripasso is a wine that is both complex and food friendly, rich yet acidic, and an underappreciated wine that punches well above it's weight in terms of value to price. They don't call it baby Amarone for nothing. And, if you don't know what that means, you need to listen so you can learn more about these unbelievable wines. And, as an extra bonus, in our Wine in the News This Week section we discuss how wine was at the center of the Supreme Court decision to strike down the Trump Administration's tariffs. Bet you didn't know that. Do yourself a favor and dive in!

Le Voci del Grigioni italiano tornano ad occuparsi di archeologia alpina, intesa non solo come disciplina di scavo, ma come strumento per leggere il territorio, comprenderne le trasformazioni e restituire memoria alle comunità.Nelle profondità del lago di Sankt Moritz millenari resti lignei conservati in condizioni eccezionali, ci raccontano di variazioni climatiche e mutamenti ambientali di lunga durata. Un archivio naturale che permette di riflettere sulla fragilità degli ecosistemi alpini e sugli equilibri che, nel corso dei secoli, hanno modellato il paesaggio.Accanto a questa dimensione ambientale, trova spazio il lavoro quotidiano di tutela svolto sul territorio: interventi legati a cantieri e infrastrutture, pianificazione preventiva, documentazione sistematica prima delle trasformazioni edilizie. Un'attività spesso silenziosa, che punta a conciliare sviluppo e conservazione, riducendo conflitti e costruendo nel tempo un rapporto di fiducia con la popolazione.Infine, l'attenzione si concentra su un importante sito alpino - Piuro, nella Bregaglia italiana, segnato da un evento catastrofico, oggi riletto attraverso ricerche stratigrafiche, analisi scientifiche e studi sulle reti economiche medievali. Oltre la memoria della tragedia, emerge la ricostruzione di un centro produttivo inserito in circuiti di scambio di ampia portata, con una restituzione dei risultati che guarda anche alla valorizzazione pubblica.Il filo conduttore è l'archeologia come chiave di lettura del presente: una disciplina che collega ambiente e storia, prevenzione e memoria, identità locale e relazioni europee, trasformando ciò che riemerge dal sottosuolo in conoscenza condivisa e patrimonio vivo.Ad accompagnarci in questo affasciante viaggio alla scoperta del nostro passato saranno Patrick Cassitti (responsabile scientifico del Servizio archeologico del Canton Grigioni) e il professor Fabio Saggioro (ordinario di archeologia medievale all'Università di Verona).

The Valley Today
180,000 Reasons to Care: The Growing Need for Food Assistance

The Valley Today

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 23, 2026 25:51


Record Numbers Shatter Post-Pandemic Expectations Six years after the pandemic first disrupted American life, a troubling trend emerges across rural Virginia. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank now serves approximately 180,000 people every month—a staggering 39,000 more than the pandemic's peak. Les Sinclair, the organization's Communications and PR Manager, reveals this sobering reality during a recent conversation on The Valley Today with host Janet Michael. Initially, food bank officials believed the pandemic would represent the worst crisis they'd ever face. When government assistance programs temporarily lifted many families out of poverty, demand dropped slightly to around 141,000 monthly visits. However, this optimism proved short-lived. "We thought the numbers would never go up beyond the pandemic max," Les explains. "That just didn't pan out." Instead, inflation took hold with devastating consequences. While prices soared across every sector, wages failed to keep pace. Consequently, more working families find themselves unable to afford basic necessities, forcing them to seek food assistance for the first time in their lives. A Massive Rural Footprint The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank operates across an impressive territory that spans 25 counties and eight cities throughout Virginia. Stretching from Winchester and Frederick County in the north to beyond Lynchburg and Bedford County in the south, the organization covers approximately 12,000 square miles—roughly the size of Maryland or one-third of Virginia's total area. To manage this vast region effectively, the food bank maintains four strategic warehouse locations. Their headquarters sits in Verona, just outside Staunton, while additional distribution centers operate in Winchester, Charlottesville, and Lynchburg. Notably, the Winchester facility alone serves Frederick, Clarke, Fauquier, Warren, Shenandoah, Page, and Rappahannock Counties, including the densely populated Loudoun County. Moreover, the organization represents a groundbreaking experiment in food banking. When founded in 1981, most food banks concentrated on urban areas where dense populations made distribution easier. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, however, pioneered rural food distribution—a critical distinction since nine out of ten food-insecure Americans live in rural communities rather than urban centers. The Partnership Model That Makes It Work The food bank functions as a sophisticated logistics operation, partnering with Feeding America nationally and hundreds of local food pantries regionally. Les compares their role to a Walmart warehouse, buying food by the truckload and storing massive quantities. Meanwhile, local pantries like Winchester CCAP serve as the "customer-facing" locations, directly distributing food to families in need. This partnership proves essential for reaching scattered rural populations. "We couldn't do what we do without them," Les emphasizes. "They couldn't do what they do without us." Furthermore, the organization sources food from diverse channels. Retail grocers contribute 36% of donations through partner pickup programs, where pantries collect excess inventory directly from stores like Food Lion, Kroger, and Giant. Additionally, the USDA provides government-purchased food from American farmers, while large manufacturers donate products with misprinted labels or excess inventory. Local and regional farmers also contribute fresh produce to the network. The Grocery Store Challenge Recently, however, the retail partnership faced unexpected pressure. During October and November, and again during winter snowstorms, consumers cleared grocery store shelves completely. When stores have no excess inventory, they have nothing left to donate. Compounding this challenge, grocery chains have become remarkably efficient at predicting demand. Using AI technology, they now anticipate that shoppers will buy strawberry Pop-Tarts before storms and adjust inventory accordingly. While this efficiency benefits retailers and consumers, it reduces the surplus available for food banks. Simultaneously, USDA food supplies have dropped 30% year-over-year, forcing the food bank to purchase more food directly. Although they cannot fully replace the high-quality proteins and vegetables the government typically provides, they continue prioritizing nutritious options for their partner pantries. Shattering Misconceptions About Food Pantry Users Perhaps the most persistent myth surrounding food insecurity involves who actually needs assistance. Many people assume food pantry visitors are simply lazy and should "get a job." The reality, however, tells a dramatically different story. Most people seeking food assistance are working. They're trying to improve their lives but living on financial margins so thin that a single unexpected expense creates crisis. In fact, more than a quarter of the food bank's guests visit only once per year—they simply need help getting over a temporary hump. Les shares the story of a convenience store worker who injured her wrist on the job. Unable to work while waiting for workers' compensation, she has zero income and cares for a paralyzed son. She's not lazy—she's injured, uninsured temporarily, and desperately trying to survive until she can return to work. Even when workers' compensation arrives, it typically covers only 70% of regular wages and takes considerable time to process. For families living paycheck to paycheck, missing even one payment creates cascading financial disasters. The Government Shutdown Ripple Effect Currently, partial government shutdowns compound these challenges. Federal workers, particularly TSA agents, continue reporting to work without paychecks. They still pay for childcare, gas, and other necessities, but many receive payment only monthly—making it extraordinarily difficult to stretch resources from one paycheck to the next. Contrary to popular belief, landlords cannot always wait patiently for delayed rent payments. Many landlords depend on rental income to pay their own mortgages. When a tenant misses a $2,000 rent payment, the landlord must still cover their mortgage. Moreover, the economic impact extends far beyond government employees. When federal workers stop dining out, restaurants lose business. Wait staff lose tips. Restaurant owners order less food from suppliers like Sysco. Truck drivers haul fewer loads. The entire economic system suffers. Sarah Cohen of Route 11 Chips experienced this firsthand. During COVID and government shutdowns, her sales to DC cafes plummeted because federal workers weren't coming to the office for lunch. These ripple effects reach deep into Virginia's economy, affecting businesses and workers far from the capital. The Impossible Choice: Heat or Eat Winter brings particularly cruel dilemmas for struggling families. Les recently spoke with William, a roofer injured on the job who lives in a mobile home with his dog, Cocoa. Unable to afford heating, William and Cocoa "just sort of curl up" together while he waits for surgeries that will allow him to return to work. Another woman caring for three disabled grandchildren faces $400 monthly electric bills. With both she and her husband experiencing serious health issues and the children's parents out of the picture, they constantly struggle with the impossible choice between heating their home and feeding their family. These aren't isolated cases. Across the food bank's service area, families regularly face this devastating decision. When $600 heating bills arrive after cold snaps, many choose to keep the lights on and visit food pantries to feed their families. Food as Medicine: A Holistic Approach The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank takes a progressive stance on nutrition, viewing food as medicine rather than mere sustenance. They prioritize fresh produce, which comprised 30% of their distribution last year, because they understand that proper nutrition helps people thrive. Nutritious food keeps medical bills down across entire communities. Children pay better attention in school when properly nourished. People can manage chronic illnesses and diseases through better nutrition. Conversely, when families can only afford high-calorie processed foods, they face increased health risks despite consuming adequate calories—debunking the myth that overweight individuals cannot be food insecure. Additionally, access to food reduces stress, which itself functions as a health intervention. When people live on the edge of a financial cliff, they cannot make good long-term decisions. They're too focused on simply not falling. However, when food security removes one major stressor, families can step back from that precipice and begin making better choices for their futures. Quality Food for Everyone Another common misconception suggests that food bank offerings are somehow subpar. In reality, the food distributed through this network maintains high-quality standards. While well-meaning donors sometimes contribute items like ramen noodles during food drives, the bulk of distributed food comes from retail grocers, USDA programs, and direct purchases of nutritious items. The food bank specifically prioritizes produce because people crave fresh fruits and vegetables. Although produce represents one of the most expensive food categories—often making it a luxury for families on tight budgets—the organization believes everyone deserves access to healthy, nutritious food regardless of their economic circumstances. How Communities Can Help Fortunately, community members have multiple ways to support this critical mission. Volunteering provides valuable assistance, and notably, many food bank guests themselves volunteer, giving back to the community that supported them during difficult times. Financial donations prove particularly effective. Just $1 helps provide more than three meals, meaning $10 supplies a month of meals for someone in need, while $100 provides 300 meals. The food bank's purchasing power and logistics expertise amplify every dollar donated. Beyond time and money, advocacy matters tremendously. Currently, the Federation of Virginia Food Banks—representing all seven food banks across the state—works to promote "food as medicine" initiatives with the state legislature. Community members can support these efforts through the food bank's website at BRAFB.org/actnow or BRAFB.org/getinvolved. Finally, social media engagement amplifies the message. Following the food bank's social media accounts, resharing posts, and commenting helps spread awareness that hunger relief remains an urgent community need. Finding Help When You Need It For individuals and families currently struggling with food insecurity, Les offers an important message: "You're not alone, and we are here with you. We are here to walk with you through this challenge in your life." The food bank's website features an easy-to-use food finder tool. Visitors to BRAFB.org can click "Find Food," enter their address, and immediately see all nearby pantries with contact information, open hours, and everything needed to access food quickly. Alternatively, Virginians can call 211 for phone-based assistance connecting them with local resources. A Community Responsibility As this conversation reveals, food insecurity affects far more people than most realize—one in nine people across the food bank's service area. These aren't strangers or statistics; they're neighbors, coworkers, and community members facing temporary crises that could happen to anyone. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank stands ready to help, but they cannot do it alone. Through partnerships with local pantries, support from community donors and volunteers, and advocacy for systemic solutions, the organization continues fighting to ensure everyone has enough to eat. In Janet Michael's words, it's "a responsibility I do not take lightly"—and neither should any of us.

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 336 The Saint of the day is Seven Founders of the Servite Order The Story of the Seven Founders of the Servite Order Can you imagine seven prominent men of Boston or Denver banding together, leaving their homes and professions, and going into solitude for a life directly given to God? That is what happened in the cultured and prosperous city of Florence in the middle of the 13th century. The city was torn with political strife as well as the heresy of the Cathari, who believed that physical reality was inherently evil. Morals were low and religion seemed meaningless. In 1240, seven noblemen of Florence mutually decided to withdraw from the city to a solitary place for prayer and direct service of God. Their initial difficulty was providing for their dependents, since two were still married and two were widowers. Their aim was to lead a life of penance and prayer, but they soon found themselves disturbed by constant visitors from Florence. They next withdrew to the deserted slopes of Monte Senario. In 1244, under the direction of Saint Peter of Verona, O.P., this small group adopted a religious habit similar to the Dominican habit, choosing to live under the Rule of St. Augustine and adopting the name of the Servants of Mary. The new Order took a form more like that of the mendicant friars than that of the older monastic Orders. Members of the community came to the United States from Austria in 1852 and settled in New York and later in Philadelphia. The two American provinces developed from the foundation made by Father Austin Morini in 1870 in Wisconsin. Community members combined monastic life and active ministry. In the monastery, they led a life of prayer, work and silence while in the active apostolate they engaged in parochial work, teaching, preaching, and other ministerial activities. Reflection The time in which the Seven Founders of the Servite Order lived is very easily comparable to the situation in which we find ourselves today. It is “the best of times and the worst of times,” as Dickens once wrote. Some, perhaps many, feel called to a countercultural life, even in religion. All of us are faced in a new and urgent way with the challenge to make our lives decisively centered in Christ.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Le Olimpiadi invernali Milano-Cortina 2026 produrranno effetti economici destinati a estendersi fino al 2050, con un impatto complessivo stimato in 6,1 miliardi di euro. Secondo l'analisi del Centro studi Unimpresa, il Veneto intercetterà 2,1 miliardi, pari al 34% del totale, con un'incidenza dell'1,17% sul PIL regionale, superiore a quella lombarda. Il risultato riflette il ruolo strategico di Cortina, gli investimenti sulla viabilità dolomitica e la funzione di Verona come hub di supporto. La legacy di medio periodo (2028-2030) vale 900 milioni, mentre quella di lungo periodo (2031-2050) altri 700 milioni, legati a infrastrutture, mobilità e attrattività territoriale. La Lombardia concentra 3,2 miliardi (52% del totale), pari allo 0,72% del PIL regionale, mentre il Trentino-Alto Adige registra l'impatto relativo più elevato: 800 milioni, pari all'1,60% del PIL. Nel complesso, le tre regioni coinvolte assorbono un impatto pari allo 0,90% del loro PIL combinato. Parliamo con Alberto Stefani, presidente della Regione Veneto.Industria 2025 in stallo, la ripresa estiva salva i ricaviL'industria italiana chiude il 2025 in equilibrio fragile: ricavi a 1122 miliardi, +0,2% a valori correnti grazie allo sprint del secondo semestre, mentre a valori costanti prosegue il calo, seppur contenuto. La crescita si concentra tra luglio e novembre (+1,8%) dopo un primo semestre negativo (-1,3%), segnato dalle incertezze sui dazi USA. L'auto (-8,3%) resta il settore peggiore; in difficoltà anche metallurgia, chimica, moda e largo consumo. A sostenere le medie sono alimentari, farmaceutica e meccanica, quest'ultima spinta da Transizione 5.0. Rispetto al pre-Covid il fatturato è più alto del 23%, ma trainato dall'inflazione: in sei anni alimentari e farmaceutica crescono del 40%, l'auto resta in rosso e la moda si ferma al +3,9%. Le prospettive per il 2026 appaiono migliori grazie al recupero della fiducia e agli investimenti interni in macchinari, attesi in rafforzamento con il ritorno dell'iperammortamento. Resta però la pressione competitiva cinese: import UE +8,7%, Italia +20,7% con quota al 12,6%, la più alta tra i grandi Paesi europei, anche se senza erosione visibile delle quote italiane nei partner UE. Il commento è di Alessandra Lanza, Senior Partner di Prometeia.È nato "Merzoni", il nuovo tandem per l'EuropaL'asse Roma-Berlino si prepara a emergere come nuovo motore politico europeo in vista del Consiglio europeo sulla competitività, preceduto da un vertice informale promosso da Giorgia Meloni e Friedrich Merz. L'intesa tra i due governi, definita pragmatica e operativa, si estende da migrazione e materie prime a difesa e politica industriale, come confermato dal piano d'azione firmato a Villa Pamphili. In ambienti diplomatici si parla di un riequilibrio degli assetti europei che ridimensiona il ruolo francese, mentre Macron tenta di restare centrale proponendo nuovo debito comune per difesa e tecnologia. Sullo sfondo restano le divergenze strategiche su autonomia europea, rapporti con Washington e industria militare, con Berlino attratta dal progetto Gcap guidato anche dall'Italia. Interviene Adriana Cerretelli, Il Sole 24 Ore.Legacy Olimpiadi, permetterà alla montagna italiana di fare "il salto in Champions league"?Le Olimpiadi rappresentano per Cortina e il Cadore una scommessa di lungo periodo sul turismo e sulle infrastrutture. Oltre 350 milioni sono stati investiti per ammodernare la viabilità verso la valle, con interventi storici sulla statale Alemagna e varianti strategiche attese da decenni. Nonostante i ritardi nei cantieri, amministratori locali e operatori turistici vedono nei Giochi un'occasione irripetibile per rilanciare l'economia montana, fermare lo spopolamento e garantire servizi moderni. Cortina punta a rinnovare la propria immagine dopo decenni di immobilismo, tra nuovi hotel e infrastrutture di accoglienza, con l'obiettivo di assicurare un'eredità capace di sostenere il turismo per i prossimi trent'anni. Ci raggiunge nei nostri studi Andrea Baccuini, Super G - Italian Mountain Club.

Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saint Josephine Bakhita Saint Josephine Bakhita's Story For many years, Josephine Bakhita was a slave but her spirit was always free and eventually that spirit prevailed. Born in Olgossa in the Darfur region of southern Sudan, Josephine was kidnapped at the age of 7, sold into slavery and given the name Bakhita, which means fortunate. She was resold several times, finally in 1883 to Callisto Legnani, Italian consul in Khartoum, Sudan. Two years later, he took Josephine to Italy and gave her to his friend Augusto Michieli. Bakhita became babysitter to Mimmina Michieli, whom she accompanied to Venice's Institute of the Catechumens, run by the Canossian Sisters. While Mimmina was being instructed, Josephine felt drawn to the Catholic Church. She was baptized and confirmed in 1890, taking the name Josephine. When the Michielis returned from Africa and wanted to take Mimmina and Josephine back with them, the future saint refused to go. During the ensuing court case, the Canossian Sisters and the patriarch of Venice intervened on Josephine's behalf. The judge concluded that since slavery was illegal in Italy, she had actually been free since 1885. Saint Josephine Bakhita entered the Institute of St. Magdalene of Canossa in 1893 and made her profession three years later. In 1902, she was transferred to the city of Schio (northeast of Verona), where she assisted her religious community through cooking, sewing, embroidery, and welcoming visitors at the door. She soon became well loved by the children attending the sisters' school and the local citizens. She once said, “Be good, love the Lord, pray for those who do not know Him. What a great grace it is to know God!” The first steps toward her beatification began in 1959. She was beatified in 1992 and canonized eight years later. Reflection Saint Josephine Bakhita's body was mutilated by those who enslaved her, but they could not touch her spirit. Her Baptism set her on an eventual path toward asserting her civic freedom and then service to God's people as a Canossian Sister. She who worked under many “masters” was finally happy to address God as “master” and carry out everything that she believed to be God's will for her. Learn more about Saint Josephine Bakhita!

This is a story of growth through creativity, experimentation, and using technology to stay lean.Carlo Pandian (LinkedIn) is the founder of Slow Travel Italia. Four years ago he started with a single wine tasting in Verona, and today runs 160 experiences across 12 Italian cities, serving 15,000 guests a year with a very small team.In this episode, he talks to TP host Mitch Bach about exactly how he did it: experimenting with neglected time slots (like 6pm) that competitors ignore, launching five tours at once instead of one to multiply his chances of finding a niche, using Airtable and automations to eliminate manual booking assignments and personalize communication at scale, and treating OTAs as a launchpad rather than a long-term home. Carlo shares how he identifies gaps in crowded markets by studying what's missing—not just in Italy but in places like Japan—and why he pulled out of Milan when the math didn't work. He explains his "requirements manifesto" for vetting partners, how he coaches food producers on storytelling for international audiences, and why the biggest trend he's seeing is travelers willing to spend half a day outside the city for a single product done deeply—visiting the olive grove, watching mozzarella pulled from boiling water, understanding one thing fully rather than tasting nine things superficially.As always, more info and takeaways on tourpreneur.com.
