Hai mai notato che il 2 giugno in Italia è tutto chiuso? Niente scuola, niente uffici, banche serrate e, per le strade delle grandi città, militari in alta uniforme, bande musicali e perfino aerei che lasciano scie tricolori nel cielo. Ma cosa si celebra esattamente in questa data? In questo articolo scoprirai la storia della Festa della Repubblica, il vocabolario legato alla storia italiana e qualche curiosità sorprendente. La Festa della Repubblica Spiegata Bene Il 2 giugno è una delle date più importanti del calendario italiano: è la Festa della Repubblica. Ma dietro questa giornata festiva c'è una storia affascinante, fatta di re, referendum e momenti che hanno cambiato per sempre il volto del Paese. L'Italia Prima del 1946: un Paese Ferito Per capire cosa è successo il 2 giugno 1946, bisogna fare un passo indietro. Anzi, parecchi passi indietro, fino al momento della nascita del Paese. Un'Italia Monarchica Dal 1861, l'anno dell'Unità d'Italia, fino al 1946, l'Italia era una monarchia. Questo significa che il capo dello Stato non era un presidente eletto dal popolo, ma un re. La famiglia reale era quella dei Savoia, una dinastia molto antica che aveva governato il Piemonte per secoli. Nota linguistica: in italiano si dice "i Savoia" usando il cognome al plurale per indicare l'intera famiglia. Funziona così anche con altre famiglie famose: "i Medici", "i Borgia", "i Visconti". Se invece si dice "la famiglia Rossi", si usa "Rossi" al singolare. Il Ventennio Fascista e la Guerra Nel 1922 sale al potere Benito Mussolini e inizia il ventennio fascista. Il re dell'epoca, Vittorio Emanuele III, invece di opporsi a Mussolini, gli affida il governo. Mussolini porta l'Italia nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale a fianco della Germania nazista. Il risultato è un disastro totale: città bombardate, milioni di morti, fame, distruzione. L'Italia esce dalla guerra in ginocchio, e molti italiani si chiedono se la colpa sia anche del re, che non ha fermato Mussolini. Espressione utile: quando un Paese è "in ginocchio", significa che si trova in una situazione drammatica, di grande debolezza. Si può usare anche per le persone: "Dopo quel periodo difficile, era in ginocchio". L'Abdicazione di Vittorio Emanuele III A maggio del 1946, sentendo che il vento sta cambiando, Vittorio Emanuele III decide di abdicare, cioè di rinunciare al trono, a favore di suo figlio Umberto II. Spera così di salvare la monarchia, dando un volto nuovo e meno compromesso al regno. Come vedremo, però, non funzionerà. Il Referendum del 2 Giugno 1946: Monarchia o Repubblica? Si arriva così alla data chiave. Il 2 giugno 1946 (e in realtà anche il 3 giugno, perché si votò per due giorni) gli italiani vengono chiamati alle urne per decidere una questione fondamentale: continuare con la monarchia o diventare una repubblica? Che Cos'è un Referendum Questo tipo di votazione si chiama referendum, e in italiano si pronuncia proprio come si scrive: re-fe-rén-dum. È una parola latina che significa letteralmente "cose da riferire", cioè "cose da chiedere al popolo". I Risultati del Voto La Repubblica vince con circa il 54% dei voti, contro il 46% della monarchia. Non un trionfo schiacciante, ma una vittoria chiara: circa 12,7 milioni di voti contro 10,7 milioni. OpzionePercentualeVotiRepubblicaCirca 54%≈ 12,7 milioniMonarchiaCirca 46%≈ 10,7 milioni Il 13 giugno 1946 Umberto II lascia l'Italia e parte in esilio per il Portogallo, dove si stabilirà nella cittadina di Cascais e dove vivrà fino alla morte, senza mai più rimettere piede in Italia. Suo padre Vittorio Emanuele III, invece, era già andato in esilio in Egitto subito dopo l'abdicazione di maggio. Curiosità: Umberto II è stato re per soli 34 giorni. Proprio per questo viene ricordato con il soprannome di "il Re di Maggio". Un'Italia Spaccata in Due Il voto rivelò un'Italia divisa geograficamente. Il Nord votò massicciamente per la Repubblica, mentre il Sud preferì la monarchia. A Napoli, addirittura, la monarchia prese quasi l'80% dei voti. Da quel giorno nacque anche la famosa espressione "Regno del Sud", usata scherzosamente per indicare le regioni meridionali più affezionate alla corona. La Grande Novità: le Donne Votano alle Elezioni Politiche C'è un aspetto fondamentale che spesso viene dimenticato: il 2 giugno 1946 è stata la prima volta nella storia d'Italia in cui le donne hanno potuto votare in un'elezione nazionale e politica. Quasi un Secolo Senza Diritto di Voto Per quasi un secolo dall'Unità d'Italia, le donne italiane non avevano avuto diritto di voto: metà della popolazione non poteva decidere nulla del proprio Paese. In realtà, le donne italiane avevano già votato qualche mese prima, il 10 marzo 1946, ma alle elezioni amministrative, cioè per scegliere i sindaci dei loro comuni. Il 2 giugno, però, fu la prima volta che parteciparono a una consultazione nazionale. E parteciparono in massa: circa 13 milioni di donne andarono a votare. Per scoprire le figure femminili che hanno segnato la storia del Paese, puoi leggere la guida sulle donne italiane importanti. La Curiosità del Rossetto In vista del voto, alle donne fu raccomandato di non mettere il rossetto. Il motivo? La scheda elettorale doveva essere chiusa con la saliva, un po' come si fa con le buste delle lettere. Le autorità temevano che il rossetto potesse lasciare tracce sulla scheda, e qualsiasi segno di riconoscimento l'avrebbe resa nulla, cioè non valida. Il Corriere della Sera pubblicò addirittura un articolo intitolato "Senza rossetto nella cabina elettorale", consigliando alle donne di portare con sé il rossetto e di metterlo solo dopo aver votato. Come Si Festeggia Oggi il 2 Giugno Il 2 giugno in Italia è festa nazionale: scuole chiuse, uffici chiusi, e molte persone ne approfittano per fare un ponte. Questa giornata è strettamente legata al funzionamento delle istituzioni: per approfondire, puoi consultare la guida sul sistema politico italiano. Vocabolario utile: "fare un ponte" non significa costruire un ponte, ma collegare un giorno festivo al weekend per prendersi più giorni di vacanza. Per esempio: "Il 2 giugno è di mercoledì? Allora prendo le ferie giovedì e venerdì e mi faccio un ponte fino a domenica!". La Parata Militare ai Fori Imperiali L'evento più importante si svolge a Roma, lungo i Fori Imperiali. C'è una grande parata militare alla presenza del Presidente della Repubblica, dei membri del Governo e di tante autorità. Sfilano i militari, i carabinieri, la polizia, i vigili del fuoco e la protezione civile. Le Frecce Tricolori Il momento più spettacolare e fotografato è quello delle Frecce Tricolori: aerei militari che disegnano nel cielo le tre strisce della bandiera italiana, verde, bianca e rossa. Inoltre, quel giorno è possibile visitare gratuitamente i Giardini del Quirinale, cioè i giardini della residenza ufficiale del Presidente della Repubblica. Un'occasione unica, perché di solito sono chiusi al pubblico. Per altre informazioni di questo tipo, puoi consultare la guida sulle curiosità sull'Italia.

Si celebra la Festa della Repubblica, che ricorda il referendum del 2 giugno 1946 con cui gli italiani scelsero di trasformare l'Italia da monarchia a repubblica. Chi È Stato l'Ultimo Re d'Italia? L'ultimo re d'Italia è stato Umberto II, soprannominato "il Re di Maggio" perché regnò per soli 34 giorni. Dopo il referendum andò in esilio in Portogallo, dove visse fino alla morte. È Vero che le Donne Votarono per la Prima Volta il 2 Giugno 1946? Per quanto riguarda le elezioni nazionali, sì: il 2 giugno 1946 fu la prima volta. Le donne italiane avevano però già votato il 10 marzo 1946 alle elezioni amministrative locali, per scegliere i sindaci dei comuni. Perché alle Donne Fu Consigliato di Non Mettere il Rossetto? Perché la scheda elettorale andava chiusa con la saliva. Il rossetto avrebbe potuto lasciare un segno sulla scheda, e qualsiasi segno di riconoscimento l'avrebbe resa nulla, cioè non valida. Come Si Festeggia Oggi il 2 Giugno? Con una grande parata militare a Roma, lungo i Fori Imperiali, alla presenza del Presidente della Repubblica. Il momento più spettacolare è il sorvolo delle Frecce Tricolori, che colorano il cielo di verde, bianco e rosso. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Quiz", "name": "Test sulla Festa della Repubblica Italiana", "description": "Quiz interattivo sulla Festa della Repubblica del 2 giugno con 10 domande sulla storia italiana e sul vocabolario della politica.", "educationalLevel": "Principiante A1-A2", "learningResourceType": "Quiz", "inLanguage": "it", "hasPart": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Che cosa si celebra in Italia il 2 giugno?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "La nascita della Repubblica" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "In una monarchia, chi guida lo Stato?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Un re o una regina" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Che cosa significa il verbo abdicare?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Rinunciare al trono" } }, { "@type": "Question",...

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins Jahr 1438. Die norditalienische Stadt Brescia wird von Streitkräften Mailands belagert, und der einzige Ausweg: Entsatzung durch Venedig, dem sich Brescia in den 1420er Jahren unterworfen hat. Das Problem: der einzig sinnvolle Weg für Venedig das zu tun führt über den Gardasee, der allerdings im Süden, genau dort, wo venezianische Schiffe Zugang hätten, von Mailand kontrolliert wird. Also wird beschlossen, einen anderen Weg zu gehen: über die Berge! Wir sprechen über diesen Plan, über Venedig als Landmacht und vor allem über die mächtigen Söldnerführer jener Zeit, die Condottieri. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG389: Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand – https://gadg.fm/389 - GAG429: Der Eimerkrieg – https://gadg.fm/429 - GAG467: Das Leben der Lucrezia Borgia – https://gadg.fm/467 - GAG67: Palladio, der erfolgreichste Architekt aller Zeiten – https://gadg.fm/67 - GAG447: Christina, Hans und Heinrich oder Wie ein Gemälde entsteht – https://gadg.fm/447 - GAG342: Das Stockholmer Blutbad – https://gadg.fm/342 // Literatur - La battaglia di Desenzano del 1439 e la Val Lagarina (Galeas per montes), ‚Quaderni del Borgoantico‘, 17, 2016, pp. 59-61“. - Andenna, Giancarlo.

A seus postos, Aliança Rebelde!Está no ar mais um episódio do Desnazificando! E hoje nós vamos voltar para a série sobre as organizações do Terceiro Reich!Essa série tem episódios mais curtos e se propõe a analisar as instituições do regime nazista, contribuindo para a complexificação desse fenômeno e para compreender os diversos graus de responsabilidade que operavam dentro do séquito nazista, sobretudo em se tratando da responsabilidade pelo extermínio. No terceiro episódio dessa série, nós falamos sobre a tão temida SS. Muito além de um grupo de guarda-costas, a Schutzstaffel (Tropa de Proteção) tornou-se a vanguarda ideológica do nazismo e o motor do extermínio. Vamos entender como esse grupo, fundado em 1923 para proteger Hitler, transformou-se em um Estado dentro do Estado.  Sob o comando de Heinrich Himmler, a SS deixou de ser um pequeno séquito para se tornar a "elite" do partido nazista. Nós discutimos como a SS coordenou desde o serviço de inteligência e o policiamento (Gestapo e SD) até a implementação direta da Solução Final através dos Einsatzgruppen e dos campos de extermínio. Analisar essas instituições é fundamental para compreendermos que o Holocausto não foi um acidente, mas um projeto burocrático e ideológico executado por homens que se viam como o futuro da Alemanha.

EV Charging Infrastructure Security: How Hackers Could Disrupt Chargers, Networks, and the Grid Cybersecurity Today  would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast. Meter delivers a complete networking stack, wired, wireless and cellular in one integrated solution that's built for performance and scale.  You can find them at Meter.com/cst In this holiday weekend edition of Cybersecurity Today, Jim Love introduces David Shipley's interview with Steve Visconti, CEO of Xiid Corporation, about cybersecurity risks in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Visconti explains Xiid's software-based security layer for IP networks, aimed at critical infrastructure across enterprise, public sector, and DOD environments, and its growing focus on OT/IoT such as EV charging systems. The discussion highlights how EV chargers connect vehicles, homes, back-office billing/control systems, cloud services, and potentially vehicle-to-grid power flows, creating large-scale attack surfaces that could enable disruption, DDoS activity, or broader grid instability. Visconti argues for "unreachability" architectures that close ports and remove static exposure while allowing only registered users and machine-to-machine access. The interview also touches on concerns about vulnerabilities leading to fires, supply-chain risks, and policy debates such as government-accessible vehicle kill switches. 00:00 Holiday Weekend Intro 01:46 Meet Steve Visconti 04:16 EV Charging Symposium 06:40 Vehicle to Grid Risks 09:16 Fires and Attack Vectors 12:14 Making Chargers Unreachable 14:37 Car as the Threat 19:05 Awareness and DDoS Reality 23:09 Government Kill Switch Debate 24:49 Wrap Up and Sponsor Thanks

In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti closes the Money Myths series with a practical and powerful sermon called “Take Your Next Step.”If becoming like Jesus means growing in faith, love, and generosity, then every believer has a next step to take. In this message, Pastor Ryan unpacks the Generosity Ladder and shows how Christians move from fear, greed, and casual giving into a life of intentional, joyful, and overflowing generosity.You'll learn what keeps people stuck spiritually, why loving money and lacking faith prevent growth, and why tipping God is not the same as honoring Him. Pastor Ryan then lays out the clear steps of generosity: tithing, offerings, sacrificial giving, and overflowing generosity.This sermon is deeply practical, biblical, and challenging. Whether you're just beginning your faith journey, learning to tithe for the first time, or ready to trust God at a greater level, this message will help you identify your next step and take it with faith.Most importantly, this message points to the ultimate step of faith: surrendering your life to Jesus Christ, who gave everything first.

In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti continues the Money Myths series with a clear and compelling teaching titled “Why I Tithe.” Is tithing just an Old Testament law or is it a timeless act of worship? Walking through Scripture from Genesis to Hebrews, Pastor Ryan explains how tithing predates the Law, connects to Jesus as our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, and remains a powerful declaration of faith for believers today.

In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti kicks off the Money Myths series with a powerful teaching from Matthew 6:19–34. Jesus doesn't treat money like a neutral tool. He exposes it as a rival master that competes for your devotion.You'll learn what Jesus meant by “You cannot serve God and mammon,” why your treasure is tethered to your heart, and how worry reveals a divided soul. God calls us to stop placing our certainty in a bank balance and start leaning fully on the Lord.If you've been battling financial anxiety, a scarcity mindset, or the feeling that “more money will finally make me secure,” this sermon will remind you that God is not only a Master worth serving - He is a loving Father who knows your needs and promises to provide.

Milanese culinary history reflects the city's position as a prosperous crossroads in northern Italy, where fertile Po Valley agriculture met centuries of foreign rule, trade, and innovation. Rooted in Lombardy's rich plains, lakes, and alpine foothills, the cuisine emphasizes hearty, comforting ingredients like rice (introduced via ancient trade routes and cultivated extensively since Roman times), butter over olive oil, beef and veal from abundant cattle farming, dairy products, and slow-cooked preparations suited to cooler climates. From Celtic and Roman foundations—where Gauls and Insubrians coexisted with settlers who brought lamb and irrigation techniques—Milanese food evolved through medieval communes, Renaissance courts under the Visconti and Sforza families, and foreign dominations that layered influences: Spanish Habsburg rule from 1535 introduced spices and techniques, Austrian control in the 18th-19th centuries sparked debates over dishes like cotoletta, and broader European exchanges refined aristocratic tastes.Iconic dishes emerged from this blend of peasant practicality and bourgeois elegance. The cotoletta alla milanese—a breaded and fried veal cutlet—has ancient origins, documented as early as 1134 in records from Sant'Ambrogio Basilica listing "lombolos cum panitio" (breaded loins) served to canons. A 19th-century patriotic dispute with Austrians claiming it derived from Wiener schnitzel was settled when Marshal Radetzky, in a letter, confirmed that no such dish existed in Austria, affirming its Milanese primacy. Risotto alla milanese, the golden saffron-infused rice, carries a beloved legend from 1574: during the construction of Milan's Duomo, a Flemish glassmaker's assistant nicknamed "Zafferano" (saffron) for using the spice to tint stained glass was pranked by colleagues who added it to wedding rice as a joke—the vibrant, flavorful result became a sensation. While the tale persists, the first printed recipes appear in the early 1800s, such as in Giovanni Felice Luraschi's 1829 cookbook, solidifying its status as a refined staple often enriched with bone marrow and served as a luxurious side.Ossobuco alla milanese ("bone with a hole"), braised cross-cut veal shanks prized for their marrow, dates to the late 19th century as a winter comfort food from humble kitchens, though marrow-based braises echo medieval traditions. Traditionally paired with risotto alla milanese for a complete piatto unico (one-dish meal), it embodies rustic depth with the bright contrast of gremolata. Other hallmarks include panettone, the dome-shaped Christmas sweet bread with origins in the 15th century (legend ties it to a 15th-century baker's improvisation), cassoeula (a pork and cabbage stew), minestrone alla milanese, and mondeghili (Milanese meatballs repurposing leftovers). Butter, rice over pasta, and long-simmered stews distinguish it from southern Italian olive oil and tomato-driven fare. At the same time, influences from the Austrian (breaded meats), Spanish (saffron via trade), and French (refined techniques) periods elevated it beyond peasant roots.Milan's cuisine balances simplicity and sophistication, shaped by its role as a commercial hub and fashion/finance capital—today's trattorias preserve these traditions amid global influences, making dishes like risotto and ossobuco timeless emblems of Milanese identity.Chef Walter writes the content for this episodeMore PodcastsChef Walters Cooking SchoolProduced by SimVal MediaSubscribe Free to the FK Newsletter

In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti preaches from Mark 4:35–41 and unpacks the powerful moment when Jesus calms the storm. The disciples fear drowning but after Jesus speaks, the storm obeys and their fear shifts from the waves to the fear of the Lord.You will learn the difference between fear that comes from faithlessness and holy fear that leads to wisdom, obedience, and life. If you are in a storm right now physical, financial, relational, or spiritual this sermon will strengthen your faith, remind you of God's love proven at the cross, and call you to fear the right thing not the storm but the Lord of the storm.

"Around the middle of the fifteenth century, not so long after the first written references in Europe to cards of any kind, an artist named Bonifacio Bembo painted a set of unnamed and unnumbered cards for the Visconti family of Milan", Origins of Tarot, Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self Awareness by Rachel Pollack Did you know that the roots of tarot have their beginnings in the north of Italy at the height of the Renaissance. The first playing cards emerged in the courts of the noble Milanese families and became a popular card game for entertainment and play.The Visconti Sforza, Bolognese Tarochini and the Minchiate Tarot cards were commissioned by the aristocratic families to be hand painted and designed by expert artisans.  Played as a game called 'carte da trionfe' the tarot was purely a trick playing game in the height of the Renaissance. Today I discuss the Visconti and Sforza alliance in Milan, Cosimo de Medici patronising philosophers to transcribe the Corpus Hermeticum, the time of Renaissance Magic, the shift in art and philosophy, the move toward the mystical traditions and how the tarot eventually evolved into that of cartomancy, esoteric practice via secret societies and occult practitioners in England and France in the 18th and 19th centuries. To now be tethered to the mystery traditions and used as form of divination, fortune telling and spiritual practise. I also share a few personal revelations about the tarot system along the way. And lastly if you are in Italy it turns out there is some serendipity to this episode I discovered while writing my show-notes you can visit the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo (a quick train ride from beautiful Milano) for an exhibition that is on until June 2026, that covers the last seven hundred years of tarot. If only a patron would come calling to me! How I would love to see this exhibition! Enjoy this Episode xMichelleJohnston.life for the Show-notesA Writer in Italy InstagramSubstack - At My TableMichelle's BooksMusical Scores by Richard Johnston© 2026  A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2026Support the show

In this timely and biblical message, Pastor Ryan Visconti addresses one of the most debated issues of our moment: immigration - through the lens of Scripture. With both clarity and compassion, he explains how Christians can hold love for the foreigner and respect for law and order in tension - without falling into the world's false “either/or.”Pastor Ryan walks through key passages in the Old and New Testaments to show:why every human being has dignity as an image-bearer of God,why nations and borders exist by God's design,why lawlessness produces real consequences,and how the gospel ultimately reframes the immigration conversation spiritually—because we were once “foreigners” to God, but brought near through Jesus.If you've felt confused, burdened, or pressured to pick a side, this message will help you think with biblical maturity and respond with truth, wisdom, and mercy.

In this special 12th anniversary message at Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti calls the church to unity, maturity, and wholehearted devotion to Jesus. Reflecting on God's faithfulness over the past year, this sermon challenges believers to get their house in order personally and corporately by honoring God, equipping believers, and reaching the lost.This message unpacks why the number twelve represents divine order and spiritual foundation in Scripture and how God is inviting His church into a new season of clarity, commitment, and growth. Pastor Ryan speaks directly to those who are all in, half in, or just visiting, offering a clear invitation to go deeper in faith and fully engage in the mission of the local church.Whether you are new to church, returning after time away, or already committed, this message will encourage you to align your life around Jesus and take your next step forward.

Jesus often taught about the Kingdom of God through simple stories with deep meaning. In Mark 4, He shares three powerful parables that reveal how the gospel grows, why deception exists alongside truth, and how God's Kingdom spreads farther than anyone expects.In this message, Pastor Ryan Visconti walks through the Parable of the Growing Seed, the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds, and the Parable of the Mustard Seed, showing how God brings spiritual growth even when we cannot see it, why it is not our job to judge hearts, and how small acts of obedience can produce massive Kingdom impact.If you've ever felt discouraged because you don't see immediate results from sharing your faith, confused by fake Christianity, or tempted to despise small beginnings, this message will anchor you in truth and give you hope. The Kingdom of God is growing even when it looks hidden.

Travelling avant sur le Guépard, il Gattopardo de Luchino Visconti sorti en 1963. Le film est adapté du livre du même nom, le succès littéraire et posthume de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa sorti en librairie en 1958. De ce chef-dʹœuvre littéraire, Visconti tire une fresque romanesque, une tragédie des grandes familles, immobiles, confrontées à la révolution. Cʹest un film sur lʹécoulement du temps et lʹéboulement des repères. En voyant ce quʹen fait Visconti, tout en magnificence, le public ne peut quʹéprouver de lʹempathie pour le prince, pour le guépard, le surnom du prince Salina joué par Burt Lancaster confronté à la révolution de Garibaldi. Il sʹenthousiasme et la critique aussi. Le Guépard remporte la Palme dʹOr au festival de Cannes en 1963. Mais les réalisateurs italiens attaquent Luchino Visconti. Ils renient le cinéaste, le conspuent. Ils préfèrent le voir dans la case néo-réaliste. Ils reprochent au film son académisme, des anachronismes, trop dʹesthétisme. Visconti nʹen a cure et porte son film malgré les accusations de ses pairs. Il a fait au mieux pour faire un beau film, ignorant parfois les réalités historiques et autobiographiques. Le Guépard est souvent réduit à sa beauté. Ne nous leurrons pas, cʹest un bijou du cinéma. Burt Lancaster y est rayonnant. Claudia Cardinale lumineuse. Alain Delon très jeune premier. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà entrer dans lʹhistoire, en nous dépêchant, car la révolution italienne est déjà en marche.

Jesus didn't light a lamp so it could be hidden and He didn't give us the gospel to keep it private. In this message from Mark 4:21–25, we unpack what Jesus meant by the lamp and the light, why the gospel is an open invitation (not hidden knowledge), and how the measure you bring - your attention, hunger, and willingness to listen—determines the understanding you receive.

This Christmas week Pastor Amy Visconti takes us into one of the most powerful and overlooked lines in the Christmas story Luke 2:19. Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. Through a personal story about missing a once in a lifetime moment on camera Pastor Amy shows why the deepest memories are not captured by a screen but engraved by the Spirit. You will learn how God loves to call ordinary people into extraordinary kingdom work why being favored does not mean a hardship free life and how to shift your perspective so you do not miss the blessings God is already giving you. This message is a practical guide for slowing down reflecting meditating on Scripture and building a habit of pondering so you can walk through this season blessed not bitter.

Family can be beautiful and messy and the holidays have a way of bringing both to the surface. In Mark 3:20-35, Pastor Ryan Visconti walks through a surprising moment where Jesus is misunderstood by His own family and accused by religious leaders. Then Jesus drops a warning that can feel terrifying at first blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. In this message you will learn what that sin is and what it is not why it cannot be committed by accident and why your fear of it can actually be a sign of hope. You will also see how Jesus redefines family and invites you into a spiritual family that lasts forever through the local church.

In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan shows that gratitude is not just a Thanksgiving emotion. It is a daily way of living that reshapes your speech, deepens your relationships, restores your parenting, guides your finances, and ignites your worship. Learn how complaining weakens your soul, how thankfulness heals families, why your money matters to God, and how bold expressive worship becomes your weekly declaration of gratitude to Jesus!

God created the Sabbath as a gift not a burden. In this message Pastor Ryan explains why Sabbath rest is more than a day off why God modeled it Himself and how Jesus becomes our ultimate Sabbath rest. Learn how to slow down enjoy life trust God with your workload and build a weekly rhythm that brings peace joy and spiritual strength.

Jesus doesn't patch the old He makes us new. In Mark 2:18–22, Pastor Ryan Visconti of Generation Church unpacks why fasting matters, how motives shape every spiritual practice, and what Jesus means by the wedding feast, the new cloth, and the new wineskins. If you've felt spiritually dry or stuck, this message will help you trade yesterday's routines for today's fresh move of God.

““Without healthy employees, you don't have healthy customers. And without healthy customers, you don't have a healthy bottom line.” — Kate Visconti, Founder and CEO, Five to Flow.While artificial intelligence (AI) has hastened development and made enterprises more efficient, it also comes with more deadlines. The deadlines often merge into after-hours messaging. Burnout has become a default result of productivity, especially in the tech industry. In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host, Producer and B2B Tech Journalist, speaks with Kate Visconti, Founder and CEO of Five to Flow, about the critical issues of burnout and disengagement in the workplace. They discuss the five core elements of change management, the financial implications of employee wellness, and strategies for enhancing productivity through flow optimisation. Also Watch: Fixing the Gender Gap in STEMThe Wellness Wave Diagnostic to Help Fix Profit LeaksVisconti stresses the importance of creating a supportive work environment and implementing effective change management practices to improve organisational performance. The conversation also highlights the role of technology in productivity and the need for leaders to prioritise employee well-being to drive business success.With an ambition to change the way organisations define true performance, VIsconti developed a system – a data-driven framework called The Wellness Wave. As per the official Five to Flow website, The Wellness Wave is “a proprietary diagnostic that measures sentiment and business performance across five core elements.”Visconti sheds light on the original framework of the company. She says, “The original was adopted when we first kicked off as part of our consulting, and it's called the Wellness Wave diagnostic. It's literally looking across the five core elements — people, culture, process, technology, and analytics.”This framework helps companies identify and fix their profit leaks, which are the hidden financial losses caused by employee burnout, disengagement, and distraction. In her conversation with Dua, host of the Tech Transformed podcast episode, Visconti shares how understanding human behaviour can lead to significant improvements in business performance.According to Five to Flow's global diagnostics, only 13 per cent of flow triggers work at their best. For tech leaders, that means most teams are functioning well below their potential.Kate's top tip is to create flow blocks. “It's about designing uninterrupted time for peak focus. This is when your brain isn't in a stress state. For me, it's mornings with my coffee. For others, it might be in the afternoon. Communicate those times to your team and protect them like meetings.”These flow blocks aren't just productivity tricks; they show that focus is more important than frantic multitasking. “Multitasking is a fallacy,” Kate says. “You're just rapidly switching tasks and burning through mental...

In recent years, there has been a great emphasis on the supreme beauty and quality of the handmade in contemporary design. I am confident that we are currently at the heights of a craft movement and it carries a particular 21st century identity, which combines traditional fabrications of craftsmanship with methods rooted in new technologies and materials. It is no longer a secret that bronze, which was largely absent from contemporary design in the years leading to the end of the past century, has taken a key role in contemporary design like no other time in history, with much of it being fabricated in Italy.Osanna Visconti, my guest today, has become the ambassador of Italian bronze in contemporary design. Working in Milan, she has made cast bronze her sole tool. Now that her work is exhibited at Maison Gerard in New York, the time has come to explore her incredible vocabulary by journeying from jewelry to furniture design; or, as she calls it, “jewelry for the home.”Her furniture has personality, and her objects have the power to transform contemporary spaces, making them a favorite among interior designers today. Visconti's pieces are rooted in the natural world as she regularly collects leaves, branches, and flowers, turning them into the primary subjects of her bronze objects.

Dan Carr is the Co-Owner of Visconti's Hospitality Group. The original Visconti's was opened in 1985 in Wenatchee, WA. Dan moved to Wenatchee from the midwest in 1991 and started working in Visconti's in 1993 after meeting the President and Owner, Candy Mecham. Dan and candy then opened a second Visconti's in Leavenworth, WA and since then they have opened 6 concepts across 9 locations in Washington.

On commence avec la disparition d'une icône du cinéma, Claudia Cardinale à l'âge de 87 ans. Connue pour ses rôles dans " Le Guépard " ou " Il était une fois dans l'Ouest ", elle inspira les grands noms du cinéma italien, Visconti , Fellini, ou encore Sergio Leone

Stéphane Boudsocq salue la carrière et la vie de Claudia Cardinale, qui s'est éteinte en famille mardi 23 septembre, chez elle à Nemours à l'âge de 87 ans. Le film "Le guépard" de Luchino Visconti en 1963 est selon lui le parfait symbole de ce qu'a représenté la comédienne... C'est à la fois Visconti, Alain Delon et Burt Lancaster, l'Italie, la France et Hollywood... Claudia Cardinale durant plus de 60 ans aura promené sa beauté farouche, son caractère bien trempé sur les plateaux européens et américains, enchainant des classiques comme "Rocco et ses frères", "Cartouche", "Huit et demi", "Il était une fois dans l'Ouest" ou "Les pétroleuses" en 1971 avec celle qu'on avait présenté (à tort) comme sa rivale : Brigitte Bardot...Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Mike talks with Rana Dasgupta, recipient of a 2025 Windham-Campbell Prize in Nonfiction, about the pleasures of the 1958 novel The Leopard as well as its Visconti-directed film adaptation and how both projects reflect on our present tenuous moment. Born in Canterbury, United Kingdom, Rana Dasgupta has lived in the United States, India, and France. His work includes Tokyo Cancelled (2005), a collection of contemporary folktales, and a novel, Solo (2009), which won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize (2010). In 2014, he published his first nonfiction work, Capital: The Eruption of Delhi. His clear-eyed observation of 21st-century crises lies at the heart of his highly anticipated forthcoming book, After Nations (2026), which explores the dissipation of the powers of the nation-state and seeks ways for us to navigate the resulting confusion. As an essayist, Dasgupta has contributed to distinguished outlets such as Harper's, Granta, and The New Statesman. For several years, he taught a course on 21st-century culture and ideas at Brown University. His lectures on the nation-state, and the possibilities beyond it, have been hosted by the Berggruen Institute, the Serpentine Gallery, the House of World Cultures, and elsewhere.

But instead of giving in, Jesus resisted with the Word of God. And because He overcame, you can overcome too.In this message you'll learn:• Why temptation always comes from the enemy, not from God• How to endure suffering instead of escaping it too soon• The danger of letting pride drive your decisions• Why shortcuts to success always lead to regret• Five practical ways to overcome temptation in your daily life.You're not the first to be tempted, and you're not alone. Jesus knows your struggle, He's with you in the fight, and He will help you stand strong.

Welcome to Future Conceived, the official podcast of the Society for the Study of Reproduction.  In this episode, host Cam Schmidt chats with Dr. Pablo Visconti, Professor of Animal and Veterinary Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Sperm maturation doesn't end with ejaculation, but instead continues in the female reproductive tract through a series of complex biochemical changes. This maturation process, known as capacitation, can make or break sperm success and its independent discovery in the 1950's by Austin and Chang helped pave the way for the first successful in vitro fertilization. Dr. Visconti has been studying the molecular mechanisms that control mammalian sperm capacitation for more than 40 years. This discussion offers a fascinating window into Dr. Visconti's approach to this problem and how his mechanistic insights have evolved as knowledge about sperm capacitation has accumulated over the course of his career.

Franchise ownership is one of the most accessible and scalable paths to business success—but only when paired with the right strategy, guidance, and support. Alesia Visconti, CEO and President of FranServe, has built her career on making that path clearer, faster, and more impactful for aspiring entrepreneurs around the world. Alesia leads FranServe, the world's largest franchise consulting and broker organization. Under her leadership, FranServe has grown into a powerhouse platform that connects people with franchise opportunities and equips them to become successful consultants themselves. Her work is redefining how the industry approaches business ownership, making it more inclusive, accessible, and future-focused. With over two decades of experience as a CEO, Visconti's approach to franchise ownership is anything but theoretical. She began as a franchise consultant herself, quickly becoming a top producer. When the opportunity came to acquire FranServe in 2016, she seized it—and completely transformed the organization. What was once a small network is now a global leader in franchise development, with hundreds of consultants and a mission rooted in empowerment. Visconti's approach is guided by a belief in personal freedom through business ownership. For many, franchise ownership provides the chance to control their future without starting from scratch. FranServe simplifies that journey by offering a structured, supported model with proven systems and a network of experts. This structure not only benefits the franchisees but also those looking to become franchise consultants—a role that has become increasingly valuable in the post-pandemic business landscape. Alesia also leads the charge in shaping the future of franchising through advocacy and education. She sits on several key committees within the International Franchise Association, including VetFran, the Diversity Institute, and the Legal Legislative Committee. She's a frequent speaker in Washington, D.C., lobbying for laws that protect small business owners and promote ethical franchising. Beyond her executive role, Alesia is an author, speaker, and champion for women in franchising. Her recent book, The Pink Tsunami: Women's Rise in Franchising, shines a light on the increasing influence women have in the franchising space—and the barriers they continue to overcome. Through platforms like Franchise Dictionary Magazine, which she also acquired and revitalized, Alesia is giving a voice to both the seasoned and the emerging leaders of the industry. What sets Visconti apart is her balance of business acumen and personal mission. She founded FranAid, the philanthropic arm of FranServe, to give back to causes that align with the company's values—including veteran support organizations, animal rescues, and cancer research. Her belief in doing well by doing good is woven into every layer of the company culture. In an era where entrepreneurship is being redefined, franchise ownership offers a tangible way to enter the business world with a blueprint. For those who don't want to reinvent the wheel—but do want to drive it forward—franchising presents a proven, supported model with limitless potential. Visconti and FranServe are leading the movement to make that model more visible, more viable, and more inclusive than ever before. Franchise ownership isn't just about products and services—it's about people. It's about helping individuals take control of their time, their income, and their impact. With leaders like Alesia Visconti driving innovation, advocacy, and opportunity, the future of franchising is not just strong—it's wide open. Watch the full episode on YouTube.
