In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1, with Misstencil at a new school half a world away from her home in China. Her time in Switzerland started off in business school, a topic that she admits she's not the best at today. Aside from school, she visited other parts of Europe. She got a job in Switzerland, but called her family back home as much as she could afford to. One call she had with them around the new year one year had her feeling like family members were passing the phone and no one wanted to talk with her. She then learned that her grandfather, the one who had raised her, had passed away days before this call. The family had kept the news of his illness from Misstencil, ostensibly to protect her. Her grandfather's death took her about a decade to get over. She was left with a sense of aimlessness and lack of purpose. Going back home felt out of the question, and she liked Switzerland. But her school there had a joint program with a school in the US, and so she applied for a visa. That school was in South Carolina. When her time in South Carolina came to an end, she had a choice—New York or San Francisco. She (correctly) chose The City. Misstencil had friends in SF already, and they let her stay with her. Those friends told her about a website, then only in the Bay Area, that she could use to find her own place. That site was Craigslist, and they were right. She soon found a place of her own. The year was 2000, and little did she know that she was beginning what would be a decades-long stay here. Her first job in The City was for a big company, one that had a dress code that put her in high heels. Looking back, Misstencil is so far removed from that corporate world that she cannot imagine wearing those shoes, or painting her nails, or other things that go along with corporate culture. But we'll get to that. She found herself meeting and befriending older hippies who encouraged her to pursue her art. She was broke, and they put her up. They helped her get art supplies. She had previously set aside any artistic ambitions while going to school and beginning what she thought would be a career. But summoning inspiration from the art her dad used to do and accepting the help of her friends in her new city, she decided to go for it. Misstencil (not known by that name just yet) began to show her art. She recounts the first time she sold a piece, and how that felt. She walked by the gallery and saw that red dot and knew she had to tell everybody about it. She says that art and San Francisco and those early friends she made here saved her. Looking back on her life and the emotional struggles she had endured, Misstencil came to realize that, as an adult and survivor of depression, she wanted to help kids going through that. She lived with roommates in a rent-controlled spot, thus allowing her to do side work of that nature. The person who today is Misstencil of course wasn't always known by that name. That started in 2022. She shares the origin story of her pseudonym. It all began with her simply wanting to beautify parts of The City that had lost their luster, so to speak—boarded-up storefronts and the like. She found herself all over town, talking to people, hearing their stories, hearing how much neighborhoods meant to people. This led Misstencil to conceive of her “San Francisco Lonely Hearts” project, which is how my life intersected with hers. It's a way for her to show her deep love for and appreciation of San Francisco. She shares how she settled on stencil art for her method lately. She never had any formal training or went to art school. She says that because she didn't have a very happy childhood, she wanted her art to help her feel like a kid again. Misstencil goes on a side story about the time she connected with SF icon Frank Chu and invited him to do Bay to Breakers with her. We also talk about the day we met, when she showed her SF Lonely Hearts work-in-progress canvas outside of Vesuvio. In addition to the 2D art that day in Jack Kerouac Alley, she had Frank Chu on a Roomba holding his infamous “12 Galaxies” sign, and a Golden Gate Bridge bench placed in front of the canvas. Before we wrap, I ask Misstencil about upcoming shows she has, and she humors me by plugging our “Keep It Local” show, which she's in. We end the episode with Misstencil's thoughts about our theme this season and the theme of the show this week: Keep it local. Photography by Nate Oliveira

«La vulcanologia non è fisica, non è matematica. Non può fare previsioni» è quanto ammette uno degli scienziati intervistati, il giorno dopo l'ennesimo sciame sismico che ha scosso i Campi Flegrei, tutta Napoli e il suo golfo. Un paradiso dove emergono meraviglie come Capri, Ischia e Procida, ma che sovrasta una grande conca ribollente che, oltre a generare terremoti continui, potrebbe dare vita ad un altro Vesuvio con altre Pompei e Ercolano. Con conseguenze ancora più catastrofiche sulle persone e le sue case, concentrate cento volte di più di quanto fosse duemila anni fa. Insomma, un paradiso che può trasformarsi in inferno.
Nato tra le vie di Torre Annunziata e cresciuto all'ombra del Vesuvio, Antonio Cozzolino, detto Pilone, fu uno dei briganti più temuti del Meridione postunitario. Ex soldato borbonico, disertore e capo banda, guidò la sua lotta contro lo Stato unitario tra le campagne vesuviane e i monti Lattari. In questo episodio ricostruiamo la sua parabola: dalle prime violenze, alla fuga, alla morte. Buon ascolto...Nota: i primi 13 minuti sono dedicati a una rapida introduzione del contesto storico del brigantaggio; se vuoi passare direttamente alla storia di Pilone, puoi saltare al minuto 13:00.

Pompei, sepolta dal Vesuvio nel 79 d.C., fu riscoperta nel 1748. Gli scavi hanno svelato un'affascinante testimonianza della vita romana, descritta da Plinio.

NAPOLI (ITALPRESS) - “I reati sono in diminuzione. Poi però bisogna vedere a macchia di leopardo le singole situazioni, i singoli territori. La statistica ci dice moltissimo, ma non dobbiamo guardare solo quella, bisogna studiare i singoli fenomeni per cercare di attaccarli alla radice”. Per Storniolo si tratta del primo mese e mezzo all'ombra del Vesuvio, dopo il subentro, al posto del Generale Enrico Scandone, alla guida della Pastrengo e di tutte le altre caserme provinciali". Lo ha detto il Generale di Brigata, Biagio Storniolo, facendo il punto sull'attività svolta nel 2024 dal Comando provinciale dei carabinieri di Napoli.xc9/pc/gsl

Patrizio Nissirio"Lava"Arkadia Editorewww.arkadiaeditore.itUn romanzo che parla di memoria perduta, di luoghi in cui è facile smarrirsi e dell'illusione di pensare di non aver bisogno di nessuno. Con il rischio di precipitare in un cratere e non risalire mai più.Una lettera inattesa porta il commissario romano Aurelio Di Giannantonio a viaggiare dalla sua città d'adozione, Venezia, fino a Torre del Greco, alle pendici del Vesuvio. Un misterioso benefattore gli ha lasciato una casa dalla quale si vedono il golfo di Napoli, la penisola sorrentina e Capri. Ma qualcosa non torna: il poliziotto non sa chi sia il solitario anziano che si è ricordato di lui nel testamento. Girando il paese in cerca di risposte, si imbatte in un manifesto ingiallito che lo coinvolge nella storia di due sorelline scomparse. Vorrebbe ripartire, tornare dalla sua compagna Maria Quaranta, ma è troppo tardi: la sua sete di giustizia lo trascina in un'indagine su cui non ha titolo. Una vicenda difficile da dipanare, in bilico tra loschi traffici della criminalità organizzata e vendette private, che lo vedrà in pericolo di vita, circondato da personaggi omertosi e ambigui all'ombra del vulcano che, impassibile e minaccioso, sovrintende alle vicende umane di una terra antichissima. Fatta di lava nera, sotto la cui coltre presente e passato si intrecciano. Lava è un romanzo che parla di memoria perduta, di luoghi in cui è facile smarrirsi e dell'illusione di pensare di non aver bisogno di nessuno.

Lo svizzero Alfred Rittmann (Basilea, 1893 – Piazza Armerina, 1980) è considerato il padre della vulcanologia moderna. Gran parte di ciò che è diventata la vulcanologia lo dobbiamo al suo lavoro e alle sue intuizioni, oltre a essere stato fonte d'ispirazione per tanti di coloro che oggi fanno ricerca sui vulcani. Arrivato in Italia a cavallo delle due guerre, ovunque sia andato ha lasciato un segno, prima a Napoli a studiare il Vesuvio e i Campi Flegrei – fu lui a capire che si trattava della caldera di un vulcano – e poi a Catania, sull'Etna, il vulcano attivo più grande d'Europa, dove fu motore di un profondo cambiamento, grazie a lui furono gettate le basi dell'attuale sistema di monitoraggio e dell'Osservatorio Etneo.Fabio Meliciani racconta la storia di questo straordinario uomo di scienza a partire da chi l'ha incontrato e da chi ne ha seguito le orme; un racconto appassionato che mostra come sia cambiato nell'ultimo secolo il rapporto fra l'uomo e questi “draghi sepolti”, con le parole di chi vive oggi alle pendici di un vulcano, e da anni lo racconta, lo osserva e lo studia: il giornalista Giuseppe Riggio, lo storico della scienza Daniele Musumeci, il direttore dell'Osservatorio Vesuviano Mauro Antonio Di Vito e Stefano Branca, direttore dell'Osservatorio Etneo.

Nella prima parte del programma commenteremo i sorprendenti risultati delle elezioni parlamentari in Francia. Quindi, continueremo a parlare di elezioni, con riguardo a quelle presidenziali che si sono tenute in Iran. Nel segmento dedicato alla scienza e alla tecnologia parleremo della capacità delle formiche di eseguire amputazioni salvavita sui nidiacei feriti. E infine, riprendiamo un argomento molto apprezzato dal nostro pubblico, in cui si fondono cultura e competizione: la gara di hot dog del 2024! Inizieremo parlando dell'ondata di maltempo che ha colpito, soprattutto, le regioni del Nord-Ovest dell'Italia, provocando ingenti danni in diversi comuni montani, noti per la loro vocazione turistica. Mentre metà del Paese è flaggellata da piogge torrenziali, il Sud sta affrontando una realtà diametralmente opposta. Successivamente ci sposteremo nel Parco Archeologico di Ercolano, l'elegante città di villeggiatura romana, sepolta dalla furia del Vesuvio nel 79 d.C. Dopo anni di meticolosi studi, ricerche e restauri, l'antica spiaggia è stata finalmente riaperta al pubblico. Questo luogo, teatro di un tragico atto finale di speranza, conserva ancora la sua toccante testimonianza visiva. - Gli elettori francesi dicono NO all'estrema destra - Gli iraniani eleggono il primo presidente riformista negli ultimi 20 anni - Le formiche carpentiere della Florida eseguono amputazioni salvavita sui nidiacei feriti - La gara di mangiatori di hot dog del 2024 regala l'emozione del trionfo accompagnata a una lieve indigestione - Emergenza climatica: Italia tra maltempo e siccità - Riapre la spiaggia di Ercolano, un luogo di memoria e scoperta
Why You Should Be Drinking Portuguese Wines Now On the podcast today, the Symington family has a history in Portugal as rich as their Ports. We are excited to have DOC Douro Category Manager Mariana Brito and fifth generation family member Harry Symington joining us on the pod from Portugal to share Symington's story. Port is a wine we think of as the perfect end to a great meal, a relaxing wine to sip and toast on an evening shared with family and friends. Port invites us to slow down, sip, and savor. The Symington family has lived by that mantra for generations. They are one of the best known names in Port, admired worldwide for their dedication to the wine and sustainable practices. Symington Family Estates owns the Port Houses of Dow's, Graham's, Warre's, Cockburn's and Quinta do Vesuvio, and dry wine producers in Portugal's Douro Valley, Vinho Verde and Alentejo wine regions. The family is carefully upholding the best of Port's long history while also stewarding the wine into the future, producing dry white, rosé and red wines. While they trace their roots in the Port trade back to 1652, today the fifth generation of Symingtons is leading the way in the family business. You might think of Port as your father's or grandfather's drink. But Port is being rediscovered thanks in part to travelers choosing to go to Portugal and the historic Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the world's oldest demarcated wine region as their top destination.

Lo sapete che la prima funicolare in Italia è stata costruita sul Vesuvio? Si tratta della funicolare vesuviana, la prima al mondo costruita su un vulcano attivo. Ma come funzionano le funicolari? E cosa sono? La funicolare, da non confondere con la funivia, è un mezzo di trasporto terrestre che serve per trasportare passeggeri, rendere più semplice la salita e la discesa su pendii ripidi e collegare luoghi. In questo episodio analizziamo il funzionamento della funicolare e vi raccontiamo la storia della prima funicolare d'Italia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Non so cosa teneva dint'a capa; intelligente, generoso, scaltro, per lui non vale il detto che è del Papa, morto un Troisi non se ne fa un altro. Morto Troisi muore la segreta arte di quella dolce tarantella, ciò che Moravia disse del Poeta io lo ridico per un Pulcinella. La gioia di bagnarsi in quel diluvio di jamm, o' saccio, ‘naggia, oilloc, azz!; era come parlare col Vesuvio, era come ascoltare del buon Jazz. “Non si capisce”, urlavano sicuri, “questo Troisi se ne resti al Sud!” Adesso lo capiscono i canguri, gli Indiani e i miliardari di Holliwood! Con lui ho capito tutta la bellezza di Napoli, la gente, il suo destino, e non m'ha mai parlato della pizza, e non m'ha mai suonato il mandolino. O Massimino io ti tengo in serbo fra ciò che il mondo dona di più caro, ha fatto più miracoli il tuo verbo di quello dell'amato San Gennaro. Learn more about your ad choices.

Part 4 starts off with me and Joanna doing the math trying to figure out how long she's worked at Vesuvio. Turns out it's right around 20 years. She started out as a waitress. The woman who was supposed to train her ended up not showing up that day, and Joanna really didn't know what she was doing. But she winged it. A customer saw her inexperience and helped her out with some sage advice. The conversation moves on to cover many of the ins and outs of serving vs. bartending. She says that, back in the day, yelling matches happened at Vesuvio sometimes, but that it's much mellower these days. Then we get to the pandemic and their eventual closure. Vesuvio was Joanna's only job at the time, one that had her working five days a week. She says that many regulars, folks who live alone, weren't sure what to do when the bar had to shut down. Like many of us, they thought it would be only a week. So Joanna borrowed her parents' car and drove up to Cloverdale to spend what she figured would be a short time with friends. She ended up staying there for four months. Vesuvio reopened in late 2020, but closed again in December after a positive case from one of its staff. In January 2021, they opened for good. And when they did, Joanna says it was like starting over. Now we get around to chatting about Wacky Wednesdays, the music shows in Kerouac Alley which effectively (and finally) prompted us to do an episode on one of our favorite spots in The City. Joanna gives context to the situation that inspired her to create the music events. Bars weren't busy. Things were weird. Everyone felt anxious. “Let's do something fun,” she thought. She had run an art fair in the alley pre-pandemic, for which she scheduled bands and vendors. She used that idea as a base for what became Wacky Wednesdays. She asked friends's bands to play. They said yes. She approached the bar about paying bands. They said yes. (These days, Vesuvio has sponsors for the events.) In 2023, there were 13 shows and 29 bands. They're currently on hiatus for the winter, but will start up again next June. It turns out that Chad, a bartender at Vesuvio, as well as some others she knows, knew how to do sound. The shows would be free—no tickets—and bands are OK to cancel if need be. The shows were a hit right away. In fact, someone is making a zine about them and they've gotten good press. Joanna assures us that Wacky Wednesdays are coming back in the summer of 2024 and says she already has a wishlist of bands she'll try to book for the alley. For more info, follow Joanna or Vesuvio on Instagram. Or just do yourself a favor and go meet a buddy for drink at the coolest bar in The City. Once they start again, calendars will appear at Vesuvio. Photography by Michelle Kilfeather
In Part 3, we meet Vesuvio bartender Joanna Lioce. Originally from Newport, RI, where her dad was a rock critic, the family moved to LA when he got a job with the Times down there. They landed in Orange County, in fact, a place Joanna left as soon as she could. In fact, the day after she graduated high school, Joanna went to Europe. While she was away, her dad got a job at the San Jose Mercury News and her mom, a pediatric nurse, worked as a public-health official in Berkeley. Joanna was in Europe shortly before Sept. 11, and though she had planned to stay overseas longer, the event made her wonder … but mom said “don't come home.” On a family trip to Ireland when Joanna was 8, she had decided that she wanted to be a bartender. Now it was 2002, and she dropped her bag at a hostel and got a bartending job at O'Shay's Merchant, a pub across the street from the Brazen Head in Dublin. She stayed in Dublin until Christmas, then returned to SoCal, where she had fronted a Riot Grrrrl band called Julia Warhola. But by now, several band members had started doing heroin, so she quit the band and moved to the Bay Area where her family was. Joanna first went to school in the Peralta System in the East Bay, then she got into SF State, where she eventually got her degree. She also finished college at Cambridge in England to study Shakespeare. While going to SF State, she moved to the Mission, specifically 18th and Linda near the Women's Building. She found the place through a Craigslist ad and ending up with six roommates, none of whom she knew previously. Her room set her back only $400, but she wasn't feeling it. From the Mission, Joanna moved to Lower Haight. And 13 years ago, she settled in to her place on Nob Hill, where she lives today. She had a job, hosting then bartending, at Stinking Rose in North Beach. She liked it all right, but when her boss gave credit for a makeover of the bar that she had done to a male co-worker, she knew she had to leave. She gave her two weeks' notice and went for a drink at Vesuvio. While there, a bartender she had befriended offered her the job. She was 21. It was 2003. She's been working at Vesuvio ever since.

In Part 2, we hear how Janet got a job cocktail waitressing at The Mab, that infamous old punk club on Broadway near Vesuvio. Mab owner Ness Aquino hired her for that and she dug it. She had been to many shows in LA when she lived there and loved the scene. She lived in the Basque Hotel at 15 Romolo, made good money, and stuff was cheap back in the late '70s. Janet describes herself as a lightweight, which meant she couldn't really hang out as late as most people around her. Eventually, she wanted to do more than cocktail, so she got a job bartending at Coffee Gallery on Grant … on the 6 a.m. shift, no less. The manager of Vesuvio saw her opening Coffee Gallery one day and asked her to open for them instead. This was 1979. In addition to her 6 a.m. shift at Vesuvio, Janet worked a few other jobs. Then she started working more at Vesuvio and liking it more and more. Early morning patrons, many of them merchant seamen, often comprised the “Dawn Patrol,” guys coming in from nearby SROs that didn't have heat. Cocktailing was hard, and it got old fast, so she switched back to bartending. As we learned in Part 1, the Feins had taken over at Vesuvio around 1967 or 1968, and they brought in Shawn O'Shaughnessy around that time to establish the aesthetic of the place. Janet tells us that the place feels mostly the same today, though they've added stuff here and there over the years. At this point in the conversation, we take a sidebar to talk about Ron Fein's aesthetic and discipline. His intention was always to keep the joint looking and feeling more or less consistent, employing a discipline not to chase trends to that end. Ron's son and daughter eventually became more involved. But seeing an opportunity and acting on it, Janet and her family have co-owned Vesuvio with Fein family since 1997. She invokes the saying, “Sweep the floor to own the store.” Janet has also been Vesuvio's principal manager since '97. The conversation shifts to talk of the pandemic, which she says was “almost an extinction event” for the bar. But Janet believes that Vesuvio was small enough to get control over the situation. She's quick to point to federal, state, and even local help, describing it as “invaluable.” It was The City's government that came through in letting them operate outside in the alley. And that leads us to Whacky Wednesdays (a bit of a tease of next week's episodes … stay tuned). Janet says the shows have been so much fun, but she of course wishes they had more space in Jack Kerouac Alley. They really helped to raise spirits during early days of the pandemic. In 2021, not much else was going on by way of live events. But more of that in Part 3 next week. We end Part 2 with my asking Janet what it means to her to be part of a San Francisco institution like Vesuvio. Listen in for her answer, which I loved. And check back Tuesday for Part 3, when we'll meet longtime Vesuvio bartender and Whacky Wednesdays creator Joanna Lioce. Photography by Jeff Hunt
This episode is six years overdue. That's because Storied: SF got started in a booth upstairs at one of our favorite spots in all The City: Vesuvio Café. In Part 1, we sit down in that same booth where it all began in 2017 to chat with Vesuvio co-owner Janet Clyde. We begin with a talk about what a great place for bars San Francisco is. Janet brings up touristic spots we love, as I had joined my wife for Irish coffees at the Buena Vista just before our recording in North Beach. Then Janet begins to lay out the history of Vesuvio. The location was originally an Italian bookstore called Cavalli Books, which moved first to the current City Lights spot, and then over to Stockton Street. Then, probably in the 1930s or early '40s, a woman known as Mrs. Mannetti opened Vesuvio as a restaurant. In 1948, Henry Lenoir bought the place from her and turned it into a bar. Lenoir was a Swiss/French bon vivant. He ran it as Vesuvio through the end of the 40s and into the 50s. But by the early '60s, with the Korean War, the place changed as society changed, and Henri wasn't feeling this generational shift at all. He sold the place to Ron Fein, who brought on Leo Riegler to run the bar. Riegler had run Coffee Gallery on Grant, which served beer and wine only. He was an Austrian bon vivant, and he came to Vesuvio and overhauled the bar. Ron Fein hired Shawn O'Shaughnessy to give the place the look and feel we're all familiar with to this day. O'Shaughnessy was inspired by Japanese art, aliens, and other worlds. Janet talks about the “I'm itching to get away from Portland, Oregon” sign, which hangs over the entrance to Vesuvio and which O'Shaughnessy derived from a postcard. We then shift the conversation a little to talk about Vesuvio and the Beat Movement. The bookstore across the alley became City Lights in 1954 when Lawrence Ferlinghetti took over. And that brought writers into the bar. Before that, according to Janet, Vesuvio was a Bohemian hang, really a cross-section of San Francisco. People who worked at the nearby Pacific Exchange (later known as the Pacific Stock Exchange), insurance salespeople, advertisers ... Janet describes the place as “suits and ties having a really good time …” When she arrived, in the late 1970s, the area was home to punk clubs, strip joints, bars, restaurants. Janet had hitchhiked from LA with the intention of landing in Seattle. She was born in Missouri but raised near Cape Canaveral, Florida. She left her family there and moved to LA but never really dug it much. A trip north in 1978 changed her life forever. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Janet Clyde.

Campania was one of the most famous wine regions of antiquity. The pedigree of Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico are well documented in literature of the time (including Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historius)! These wines have a legacy of cultivation for more than 2000 years on this land, and since the 1700s, the Mastroberardino family have taken the lead in protecting and elevating the region and its wines. This family kept these ancient grapes alive when all others abandoned them, and have been tireless champions of the grapes, the wines, and the region for centuries. Mastroberardino has been called the “guardian” of the wine history of Campania and they are the most historically significant winery in southern Italy. Photo: Piero Mastroberardino.
