Ale Guzzetti"Sguardi diversi"Quando i robot incontrarono gli antichi DeiFino al 06 Giugno 2025Milano, Fondazione Mudima, Via Tadino 26http://www.mudima.netQuando i robot incontrarono gli antichi Dei, è il titolo della mostra personale di Ale Guzzetti organizzata da Fondazione Mudima a Milano, dal 6 maggio al 6 giugno 2025. Curata da Gino Di Maggio, l'esposizione ripercorre la lunga parabola creativa dell'artista, tra i primi in Italia a sondare il binomio arte e tecnologia.A partire dai primi anni Ottanta Guzzetti ha intrapreso una proficua ricerca creativa volta a esplorare i territori dell'arte elettronica e interattiva, fino a indagare le potenzialità della robotica, della stampa 3D e delle scansioni digitali. La mostra presenta un nucleo di opere emblematiche del suo percorso pionieristico, sculture e installazioni in cui figure plastiche e circuiti elettronici istituiscono un rapporto attivo con lo spettatore, costantemente stimolato a diventare co-produttore delle opere stesse.«Il lavoro di Ale Guzzetti si propone di far convivere arte e scienza aprendo - tra i primi artisti al mondo - un nuovo percorso artistico in cui i materiali utilizzati diventano essi stessi linguaggio specifico. Sono opere interattive, ma a differenza di quanto già accaduto nella storia dell'arte, le sue creazioni sono autonome. È il caso dei suoi lavori più recenti dedicati alla robotica, in cui le sculture non sono solo osservabili, ma a loro volta ci osservano, o osservano altre sculture. Per gli esseri umani è una situazione nuova, forse inquietante, perché non siamo ancora preparati a dialogare, per lo meno con lo sguardo, con una presenza artificiale. Ma la presenza c'è e come, e fin da subito dobbiamo, noi umani, decidere se prestarci a un gioco a cui ancora non siamo pronti» commenta il curatore Gino Di Maggio.Accogliendo la sfida della complessità, teorizzata dall'epistemologo Edgar Morin, e collaborando con filosofi come Mauro Ceruti e Gianluca Bocchi - principali cultori in Italia della scienza della complessità - Guzzetti concepisce l'opera d'arte come un vero e proprio ecosistema, frutto delle interrelazioni con l'ambiente e delle connessioni che stabilisce con i fruitori.  Sin dalle prime sperimentazioni, le sue opere si configurano come oggetti “senzienti”: è il caso delle Sculture sonore, a cui l'artista inizia a lavorare nel 1983, aggregazioni di oggetti in plastica (bottiglie, boe, tubi) che ospitano circuiti elettronici o dispositivi luminosi in grado di emettere rumori, voci e luci, a seconda del contatto, diretto o indiretto, con i visitatori.Le creature di Guzzetti sono “organismi tecnologici” in grado di dissolvere confini e limiti consolidati: quelli tra il mondo naturale e artificiale, tra spiritualità e tecnologia, classicità e modernità, passato e presente. Nelle sue opere sfuma la contrapposizione fra la sacralità dell'arte, che intimorisce e allontana, e l'ironia, che invita al coinvolgimento, al gioco e alla partecipazione. È il caso della serie Robot Portraits, caricature robotiche di personaggi famosi, reali o immaginari, inseriti all'interno di grandi cornici baroccheggianti. Profili di visi in resina e circuiti di Dante, Cleopatra, Cyrano, Federico da Montefeltro, Pinocchio, caratterizzati da grandi occhi tecnologici, grazie alla presenza di sensori, scrutano con curiosità ogni movimento. Tra le sculture e gli spettatori si instaura così un originale gioco di sguardi che sovverte continuamente le dinamiche tradizionali tra osservatore e oggetto osservato.I robot di Guzzetti ci sfidano e ci ri-guardano, desiderosi di stabilire un rapporto empatico con lo spettatore, e talvolta tra di loro. Nella serie Affective Robots, ad esempio, busti robotici o scultorei anelano a interagire l'uno con l'altro e a scambiarsi gesti affettuosi come in Impossible Kiss (2012) dove due volti umanoidi trasparenti tentano di entrare in contatto come due amanti colti nell'atto di scambiarsi un bacio. Un tipo di connessione che genera in chi osserva un senso di straniamento, ma anche di tenerezza, perché in un futuro prossimo i nostri sentimenti potrebbero assumere sfumature sempre meno umane. Ancora una volta sono gli occhi l'elemento che permette al pubblico di immedesimarsi nei due dispositivi artificiali. I loro occhi sono simili ai nostri ma diversi per la linea dello sguardo: nell'uomo orizzontale nei robot verticale. Quello dei due robot mima lo scrolling che ormai, in maniera del tutto automatica e “naturale”, caratterizza il nostro modo di vedere il mondo attraverso i device digitali.Fanno parte della stessa serie anche Affective Robot VS Naukides Discobolus (2013) e Robot VS Michelangelo (Daniele da Volterra) (2012), due conversazioni tête-à-tête tra una riproduzione in gesso di un'opera classica e un umanoide. Un simbolico passaggio di testimone tra i canoni di rappresentazione dell'essere umano nel corso della storia. Tra i due busti ci sono differenze epocali, eppure un filo rosso le accomuna: la volontà dell'umanità di avvicinarsi alla perfezione divina. Se nel mondo classico la perfezione era incarnata dalla figura dell'atleta e scolpita in blocchi di marmo, oggi l'uomo perfetto è il risultato di ciò che ha saputo costruire intorno a sé: relazioni, progresso intelligente, innovazione.I lavori più recenti di Ale Guzzetti, Quando i robot incontrarono gli antichi Dei, approfondiscono ulteriormente il tema dell'ibridazione tra antichità e contemporaneità, forme classiche e tecnologie avanzate. Dalla Medusa del Rondanini al Torso Gaddi, da una testa di Polifemo, risalente al II secolo a.C., a quella del dio Hypnos, conservata al British Museum: le riproduzioni stampate in 3D di busti e volti classici sono potenziate da visori, schermi e device di ultima generazione, come se i personaggi del passato cercassero di mimetizzarsi con l'uomo del nuovo millennio, ormai incapace di percepirsi senza ausilio tecnico. Alcuni dei dispositivi che innervano queste sculture sembrano provenire da un futuro lontano, quasi apocalittico: in realtà la tecnologia è già diventata un prolungamento dei nostri stessi corpi, una protesi necessaria alla nostra esistenza. Non ci appaiono dunque così aliene le figure che l'artista ci consegna da un passato lontano, contaminandole con gli esiti più avanzati del progresso. Incalzate dal nostro sguardo si animano, reagiscono alla nostra presenza, ci sussurrano quello che sanno e che apprendono.Dall'antichità, passando per gli automi rinascimentali, fino ai robot e all'intelligenza artificiale, il sogno della scultura, sin dai tempi più remoti, è stato quello di replicare la vita. Il tentativo di creare opere d'arte autonome, infatti, è un tema che affonda le proprie radici nel mito greco di Dedalo, fautore di invenzioni antropomorfe straordinarie, in grado di muoversi e persino di parlare. Con Dedalo l'artista diviene mago, ha il potere non solo di imitare l'esistenza, ma di plasmarla, creando opere che hanno libertà di azione e si rapportano con i viventi. Le creature di Guzzetti si inseriscono in questo millennario filone di sperimentazione, e traggono da esso il potere di sollecitare la nostra curiosità, prima che l'inquietudine abbia il sopravvento.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

For the occasion of 25 years of Krita and in preparation of Software Freedom Day in September 21st of this year, we wanted to talk with Halla, the lead maintainer of this great project. We asked around and Arnoud stepped up and offered to visit Halla to ask some questions about the project's history and future. The talk is also available as a video on the PeerTube instance of the Digital Freedom Foundation. If you know what Software Freedom Day is, I'm confident that your heart warms up with fond memories. If you don't know what it is, have a look at digitalfreedoms.org/sfd for more info. Basically, it's a grassroots movement from local teams organizing events to tell others about the benefits and importance of software freedom. If you would consider organizing Software Freedom Day where you live, don't hesitate to visit the blog on our site, and get some inspiration for what you could do. With that said, let's listen to the interview between Arnoud and Halla. Enjoy it! Today we're interviewing Halla, who is the lead maintainer of Krita, to learn all about it and to hear where the project has been and where it's going. Halla, to start us off, could you tell us a little bit about what Krita is? Sure. I love telling people about Krita. So Krita is a digital painting application. It's meant to make art from scratch, both still images and animations. So we've got a huge number of brush engines, color spaces for people who need to print and lots of features really focused at creating art from start. For what kind of illustrations would you use Krita? Pretty much everything. I've seen so many different artworks, different styles. People are working on comics in Krita. People are working with illustrations. There are people who design those trade book card with Krita. Games, I mean, whole animated games, like platform games. It's used for all that sort of thing, for everything, in every style, in pretty much every country in the world. Wow. Uh, are there any publications we might know about that have used images created in Krita? There are so many! We got sent a copy of a book on American wild birds. That was entirely done in Krita. Wow, cool. Talk a little bit about yourself. What role did you play in the creation of Krita? This year Krita is 25 years old. Which meant I wasn't there at the absolute beginning. So, in 2003, my parents gave me for my birthday a really small graphics tablet, a Wacom Graphire. And I wanted to use it to draw a map for a fantasy novel I was writing back then. The novel never got finished, because of course I wanted to use Linux as my desktop operating system. And I sort of couldn't get into GIMP, and I started looking around for an application other than GIMP that I could maybe improve or could maybe be good enough. Well, I found Krita. In 2003, it had already gone through three names: KImageShop. That didn't last long. Krayon. That didn't last long either. And it was finally called Krita. It has also gone through three complete rewrites. So when I started working on Krita in 2003, it didn't even have a brush tool. You could open images, add images as layers, and move the layers around. And that was everything. So, it was a really good place to get started. Except, of course, that it turns out that I'm not a genius. I'm not even a computer scientist. I mean, I'm a linguist. And writing a good brush engine is pretty difficult. So, I started blogging about how I was completely failing at creating a nice brush engine. And how is was failing. That turned out to be a turning point for the project because people saw that: "Oh, there's someone working on it, and they're not making any progress, mmm, I will take a look as well." They started getting enthusiastic and pretty soon after 2004, we already had our fourth complete core rewrite. So that's how I got started. So how many people were involved in the Krita community by that time? Mid 2004, it was about a dozen. Krita was still part of KOffice, which was KDE's suite of productivity applications. And KOffice developed that still, because they were porting from one document format to another document format. But suddenly there was an application that we really wanted to release. And that's when KOffice got released again as well. So it's a bit hard to say how many people are actually working on Krita because there were also some people working on the core libraries that every application used, but say a dozen. And can you speak a little bit about how the community evolved since? Yes. Until around 2006, we didn't really have a focus. Krita was a GIMP clone or a Photoshop clone. And, in 2006, David Revoy, a French artist who only uses free software, tried Krita, and he told us it's no good. While we thought we had quite a nice application by then. Afterwards, we started taking this very seriously. So, when we have a sprint, we also invite artists. We actually videotape the artists working with Krita. And that's for the developers a really nice way of getting to know where the bottlenecks are for users. So because we involved artists, our developer community also started to grow. At some point of time, most growth came through Google Summer of Code, but those days are over. That program is not doing a lot anymore. We've only got one student this year. So that started the second phase. Let's make Krita good enough for David Revoy. We also invited Peter Sicking to a print. Peter Sicking is the guy who was involved in defining the mission statement for GIMP. He sat down with us and asked us: "What do you really want to do?" Make Krita good for David Revoy. That's a bit thin as a mission statement. So we came up with we want to make Krita purely a painting application. Sure, there are filters and other stuff, but if it's good for painting, it goes in. So we started working on that and that took quite a long time to get there, especially because we were stupid. We started doing a complete rewrite in 2007 of everything. That was the fifth. So, that continued, everyone was working on Krita as a hobby. Most people were still students, until our Slovak student, Lukáš, was working on his thesis. And his thesis was brush engines for Krita. And of course he got 10 out of 10 because he could show his professors that he had created real software that was used by real people all over the world. And then he was like, okay, I'm almost done with university. What should I do? If you guys can pay my rent, then I can work on Krita full time. If not, I'm going to flip burgers. So I ask him what his rent was. It was like 35 euros a month. So I thought, well, let's do a fundraiser and we can pay you for, say, six months. Six months turned into a year. And after that, Lukas got a job at a different company, but it started sponsored development. And that's been really important for the growth of our community, because by now there are six people working full time on Krita. The second student we hired on graduation was Dmitry Kazakov, a Russian guy, and he's currently our lead developer. So because we're all there, lots of volunteer developers can see that their patches and merge requests get reviewed, they get merged and that makes people happy. So we have a really healthy mix right now of sponsors and volunteer developers. That sounds great. You mentioned sprints a couple of times, can you tell us a little bit more about how that is organized? In theory, we organize one big sprint a year. Of course, it hasn't been possible. Some people have had to flee Russia, for instance. So visa problems are real problems. And the way it mostly used to happen was I would invite everyone to Deventer, have some people sleep upstairs, in our spare bedrooms. And the rest would go to Hotel Royale in Deventer, which has two big rooms on the top floor. Then we'd go down in the cellar of the church. It's a 12th century cellar. Really roomy, and we would just do some hacking, then do a meeting. And in the evenings, we would go out for dinner, and just get to know each other better. One thing that I really miss about sprints, or rather not having sprints, is the time we would spend in my study over there. Just, just a couple of us. The rest would be hacking around. And we would try to just go through the list of bug reports. And for us, sprints are fun. We also invite developers, artists, documentation writers. Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun. So, if a new contributor would like to join Krita, what would be the typical on ramps that they could come into? It used to be that people would mostly join us on IRC. Nowadays, we also have Matrix, because building Krita from scratch is not easy. But we've got a great manual for that by now. So either people join us on IRC and ask for help building Krita, and then maybe ask, do you know a nice bug or feature ish that I could start working on? And then we, we'd help them with that. But these days it's mostly people who out of the blue, post a merge request on KDE's GitLab instance. And then we're "Oh, this person from Serbia, this person from Denmark, they have suddenly have a really nice patch!" And sometimes a patch needs to be improved. Sometimes it can go in as is. And then we try to get them, in our chat channel, because that's still the place where we have most development discussions. And the mailing list is almost dead, but that holds for many mailing lists. After that, once you've got three merge requests in Krita, merged into Krita, we will ask you: "Do you want to have a developer account, so you can review other people's work, merge it, get full access to everything?" And sometimes they are "Yes, I've always wanted that", and sometimes "I'm not really comfortable with that, I just want to send you more patches", and that's fine. Sounds great. In terms of features, are there any particular features of Krita that you're particularly proud of, or that sets Krita apart from other drawing programs? Over the years, we had a number of firsts. Like, before Adobe even knew that OpenGL existed, we had a hardware accelerated canvas implementation. Then, about the same year, I think it was 2005, we implemented support for all kinds of color models. Like CMYK, LAB, also painterly color models. That's stuff that tries to mix spectral wavelengths to simulate the way paint mixes. That feature is out because it never worked well enough. Then we got, I think, a really nice way of doing animations. Of course the brush engines are great. Oh, and this is something that almost nobody knows, but we support painting in HDR. So color values lower than zero and bigger than one, fully dynamic. And the way we work with those images is compatible with the way Blender imports images. So, you mentioned Blender, are there any other products that Krita works particularly well with, or that are nice complements to Krita? Scribus. Scribus is a desktop publishing application, it's also free software. Development is a bit slow at the moment, but it's really solid. We used it for our 2006, I think it was 2006, Krita art book, for instance. And Inkscape of course, as well. Krita does have vector layers, and they are quite advanced, but still Inkscape is a really good complement. Krita and Inkscape are the only applications that currently implement the W3C mesh gradient standard. Cool, and in terms of current development, which features are you most excited about which are coming up? What's coming up is the port of Qt6, new version of our development library. That's going to really eat development time. But again, we've got some volunteers who already started working on that. I'm not sure I'm really excited about it, but, but we have to investigate it. We are looking into AI assisted inking. So you would train Krita on the way you would normally ink your sketches. And then Krita should be able to semi-automatically ink your sketches for you. Because for many artists inking is a bit of a boring step, because when you're doing inking, you're often really, really careful. And that means that the lines are a bit, often a bit deader compared to the sketch, um, Trying to use AI to assist with that is something we are investigating. We are working on that together with Intel because Intel is one of our corporate sponsors. But we are also doing all kinds of projects with Intel. Like, Intel also worked with us on that HDR feature, for instance. Oh, and text. That's, that's important as well. Volterra has been working on that. The text shape and the text tool, like the object that contains text on canvas and the tool that modifies it are of course two different projects. This will implement full SVG to text including CSS, ligatures, font features and everything. And she's already implemented it. And the text shape itself, it can do vertical text, like for Chinese or Japanese. It can do Ruby, which is the furigana, the small, text that in Japanese you put next to the kanji, the Chinese derived characters, so you know how to pronounce them. And she's now working on the UI, and, and it's something we've wanted to start working on, uh, years ago already, I think it was 2017. Actually, I was working on that, but then I was distracted by the Dutch tax office which wanted to have money. And I had to do difficult stuff and hire accountants and so on. And it's not easy being a manager. So that's the two big things that are coming, hopefully: The experimental assisted inking an a super deluxe text tool. Cool. So what does your release schedule look like? Do you have set dates or is it ready when it's ready? Ready when it's ready, but it's often ready. If our infrastructure is working correctly, then we typically do a bugfix release every two months. There have been years when we did one every month, but that was just eating up too much of our time. We try to have one or two full feature releases a year as well. Of course, we moved from Jenkins as our binary factory platform to GitLab CI. And that means we haven't been able to do a release for six months because so many bits needed fixing, bits were broken. The whole pipeline had to be rewritten. But that's done now. So we just released 5.2.3 beta 1. And we hope to do the 5.3 pretty soon, which is a bug fix release. And 5.3 will be a feature release again. I think we've got almost enough features in there. We're only waiting for the text tool to be completed. That sounds great. In terms of, uh, volunteers, are there any areas that you would really appreciate someone helping out and looking into things? Android experts, because our Android expert started at a very difficult university and doesn't have any spare time anymore. And Android is, is a difficult platform. Platform itself, the libraries, it changes all the time. We do have a UX designer, Scott Petrovic, but more help there would also be welcome. And for the rest, it's actually mostly not what we wish to be done, but what volunteers wish to do and most work is welcome. Sounds great. On the topic of platforms, which platforms does Krita support right now? That's Linux. We prefer our own binary builds in AppImage format because we have to patch a lot of the libraries that Krita depends on. Windows, MacOS, Android. If and when iPadOS gets opened up, we might port to iOS. But both for iOS and Android, Oh, we also support Chrome OS, but that's Android. For iPadOS and Android, so tablet form factor, we really want to optimize our user interface for touch and for that we need to have the port to Qt6 done. So that's going to take some time. Sounds like there's a lot of exciting things coming. I think that's all I have for you today. So I'd like to really thank you for taking the time to speak to us. It was a pleasure. Um, is there any things we haven't covered that you would like to, uh, talk about? Oh, I want to brag a bit. Go for it. Because we have about 7 million users. That's quite a lot. I mean, I used to do commercial software development. And most of the companies we worked for never ever released. So that makes it so much more fun to work on. Yeah, that's genuinely amazing. Awesome. Thank you very much. Thank you, too.

Dans cet épisode réalisé par Marjorie Paillon, l'invité Benjamin Schilz souligne l'importance de suivre son instinct dans sa vie professionnelle, de s'entourer d'équipes engagées et de maintenir une approche très entrepreneuriale. La discussion aborde l'évolution professionnelle de Benjamin passant par différentes collaborations et expériences, notamment chez Acorus Network qu'ils ont revendu avec Raphael Maunier a Volterra qui a lui même cédé à F5 pour 500m€ d'euros. L'accent est mis sur la nécessité de travailler avec des équipes de qualité et de maintenir une passion constante pour mener à bien un projet aussi ambitieux entre la France et les Etats Unis, jalonné de levées de fonds. Benjamin partage également sa nouvelle expérience actuelle en tant que CEO de Wire (200 collaborateurs), une entreprise axée sur la sécurisation des communications. La conversation explore leurs solutions de chiffrement et d'authentification robustes mises en place sur la plateforme Wire pour assurer la confidentialité des échanges, en particulier face aux menaces d'espionnage et d'interception des données. La plateforme est utilisée par divers acteurs, tels que des gouvernements, des entreprises et des particuliers. Le thème de la souveraineté numérique en Europe est abordé, mettant en avant l'importance d'accélérer les initiatives de régulation et d'investissement pour créer des champions européens dans le domaine numérique. Benjamin insiste sur la nécessité de renforcer les acteurs et les groupes européens pour rivaliser avec les géants mondiaux, tout en exprimant sa détermination à contribuer à la construction d'un écosystème numérique européen fort. La discussion se termine sur une note optimiste quant à la possibilité de créer un acteur européen puissant dans le domaine numérique, soulignant le besoin de sorties financières significatives en Europe.

It's time for part 2! Emma shares more of her Roman adventure! This episode is more about the places to visit in this wonderful city, and we're not just talking about the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. Think, majestic medieval towns that are just a short drive from Rome. If you're a foodie, go back to Part 1 of this episode where we talked all about food in Rome.If you prefer to read, check out this epic blog post with lots of advice on what to do and where to eat in Rome!This is what we spoke about during the episodeTivoli is a small town on the mountain tops and a just a 40-minute drive away from Rome. Throughout history, noble people went to Tivoli for their summers to escape the Roman heat in summer. The Villa d'Este is an ancient Renaissance site with beautiful interiors and mind-blowing gardens.Caprarola is a small town in Lazio region, where Rome is also a part of. The Palazzo Farnese is a Renaissance mansion in Caprarola known for its pentagonal design and amazing frescoes or plaster wall paintings.The Rocca Calascio is a medieval castle on top of the Apennine mountains in Abruzzo.The Castello Orsini Odescalchi is a 15th century castle in the Bracciano region. Here you'll find a massive collection of weapons used during the war and spectacular views. Calcata is a little medieval village on top of a cliff that has a very Bohemian artistic feel with lots of arts and crafts. If you visit Tuscany, it must be an overnight trip to see the beautiful sites such as Volterra.When you go to Orvieto, a small town in Umbria, you can visit the Cathedral. Just book a little train trip from Rome and you're there.The Via Appia is one of the earliest and most important Roman roads of the ancient Republic.Trastevere is a historic neighbourhood known for its narrow cobblestone streets. You can go here for dinner or drinks.Ostia Antica is a massive archaeological site outside the main city. If you are a lover of history, you have to go here.The Aventine Keyhole is a beautiful view where you look through the keyhole and you will see perfectly framed St Peter's Basilica.There's just so much to see in Rome and six weeks were not enough. You could walk around the city centre every day and you'll see something new. I also really recommend going at different times of the day. When you travel to Rome. Ahhh, Roma! When you travel to Rome you experience so much, you learn so much about yourself, about the history and culture. You come back a different person.If you loved this episode, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to carla@themerrymakersisters.com or emma@themerrymakersisters.com or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

We come back after a little Christmas break trying to answer one of the most annoying questions ever: "what are you doing on New Year's Eve?". While it looks quite harmless, it has the potential to unleash a world of pain, both to your sanity and your beleaguered wallet. I've made so many mistakes trying to follow the party imperative that I pretty much gave up completely on this tradition, choosing to spend the last hours of the year mostly at home. As not many people ascribe to this rather austere fashion, I was wondering if it was indeed possible to have a great time in Tuscany without breaking any further the proverbial bank. Happy to report that there are indeed quite a few interesting options available that you might still be able to book if you're already in this neck of the woods. This explains why this week What's Up Tuscany will bring you all over this remarkable region to give you five smart choices for a New Year's Eve to remember for a long time.If you listen to the full episode you will find that we tried to cater to all sorts of people. If you're a history buff like yours truly, you might be able to attend a real Mediaeval banquet, organised in an ancient abbey that is just a trebuchet throw away from Monteriggioni, one of the most outstanding walled towns in Italy. If the whole idea of spending a night wearing potentially silly costumes, looking at court jesters or magicians playing some tricks doesn't sound particularly appealing, don't fret: we've got you covered. Are you in love with the paranormal? Why don't you have your party in an ancient castle that is said to host the restless soul of a famous commander, murdered brutally centuries ago in Florence? While we don't really believe in this kind of things, people say that this very pretty castle actually experiences strange phenomena, from sabre rattling to sounds of chains quite regularly. Who knows? You might be able to actually meet old Baldaccio d'Anghiari.In the last three chapters we will provide you with a wealth of information on how to spend a perfect New Year's Eve if you have quite specific needs. If you're a discerning traveller that appreciates some quality time in a quiet and refined locale, we've got the right place for you: a 14th century monastery that has been recently converted into a B&B. You know what the best part is? This cloister is very close to the mysterious and fascinating Etruscan town of Volterra, which has many things to explore in its cramped alleys. If you can't resist the call of the crowd, why don't you head to Lucca, which truly shines in the time between Christmas and Epiphany. From gourmet meals in Piazza Anfiteatro to the historic Christmas market that offers the best products of this land, you'll also be able to celebrate 2024 twice in just a few minutes. Want to know why? Listen to the episode, it's really a fun little oddity.While I would advise you to head to the Teatro del Giglio for their New Year's Eve concert and dinner, if you're more inclined to have some wholesome fun, nothing better than heading to Leghorn. Here you'll find pretty much anything you might want: from a laughter-filled vernacolo show at the Teatro Quattro Mori to a very fancy cenone in a five star hotel that is just on the Terrazza Mascagni, where you can see the amazing fireworks on the sea. Probably the best way to spend your night is to wander downtown, jumping from a bar to some great quick food options. Just be sure to be in Ardenza the next morning to witness the first swim of the year of the sea-crazed Livornesi. Whatever you choose, I hope your 2024 will be full of peace, good fortune and health. After all we've been through, we all need a lucky break.Email: podcast@larno.itFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/larno.itTwitter: @arno_it / @WhatsupTuscanyLINKS TO SOURCEShttps://www.chiostrodellemonache.com/https://www.castellodisorci.it/https://www.medievalitaly.it/https://www.capodannissimo.com/toscana/capodanno-a-firenze/https://www.ghpalazzo.it/https://www.teatrodelgiglio.it/it/news/dettaglio/concerto-di-capodanno-2024/BACKGROUND MUSICPipe Choir - Bom Bom Breakthrough (Instrumental)Incompetech - Leopard Print ElevatorPipe Choir - Almost Time (Instrumental)Pipe Choir - Fortress (Instrumental)Pipe Choir - Blue Hope New SkyPipe Choir - Gemini (Instrumental)Wayne John Bradley - Blues Rock Original InstrumentalAll released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licensehttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-bom-bom-breakthrough-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500077https://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-almost-time-instrumental-creative-commonshttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pc-one-fortress-instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/p-c-iii-blue-hope-new-sky-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/Pipe_Choir/SGONS_Instrumentals/Pipe_Gemini_Instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/blues-rock-original-instrumentalcreative-commonshttp://www.pipechoir.com/

While I was finally able to get to my little house on the hills near Volterra, the stifling heat still persecutes all of us, making us wonder if there are places around where it's not so freaking hot. Thankfully our little homeland has plenty of them, carefully hidden from sight, back in the day, when the safest choice was just to find the most remote location possible. While Tuscany has plenty of charming monasteries that dot our hills, few are more special than the one that for more than a thousand years has been a magnet for men of faith and weary travellers. It's not easy to reach, being in the heart of Casentino, the wooded region tucked between the Arno and Romagna. That's not the reason why this week What's Up Tuscany will bring you to Camaldoli. We want to celebrate a little known fact that changed the course of this country. 80 years ago it was here that a group of Catholic intellectuals hid from the Fascist police to write down the guidelines for a new Italy. Thanks to their courage this country became what it is now: a more or less functioning Western democracy.If you listen to the full episode you will learn how this ancient monastery was founded, what made it so special and how it managed to become bigger and bigger year after year. I will tell you the tale of the 30 courageous scholars, some of whom were very young, how a bishop helped them escape the attentions of the secret police and how their gamble paid off big time. Some of them, from La Pira to Vanoni, from Andreotti to Moro, came to dominate Italian politics until the 1990s. In the last part of the episode I will also tell you of the charming villa where the monks produce some extraordinary wine, the best parts of the Eremo and plenty of travel tips to get the most from your time there. Instead of clashing with millions of other tourists, next time you're in Tuscany, head to Camaldoli for a few days. It's got everything: scenery, atmosphere, great nature, excellent food and wine. On top of that, it's also good for the soul. You just can't beat that combo.Email: podcast@larno.itFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/larno.itTwitter: @arno_it / @WhatsupTuscanyLINKS TO SOURCES (ITALIAN ONLY)https://www.ilbelcasentino.it/camaldoli.htmlhttps://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codice_di_Camaldolihttps://formiche.net/2018/07/codice-di-camaldoli-rinascita-italia/BACKGROUND MUSICPipe Choir - Bom Bom Breakthrough (Instrumental)Zentra - SiegeCityfires - Blood Problems (Instrumental)Pipe Choir - Rocking back and forth (Instrumental)Pipe Choir - Lifeline (Instrumental)Wayne John Bradley - Blues Rock Original InstrumentalAll released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licensehttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-bom-bom-breakthrough-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/argofox/zentra-siegehttps://soundcloud.com/cityfires/blood-problems-instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choirrocking-back-and-forth-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-lifeline-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/blues-rock-original-instrumentalcreative-commonshttp://www.pipechoir.com/

How do Italians eat pasta every day and not gain weight? Why do they have the lowest obesity rate in Western Europe? Why they don't gain weight as easily as Americans do?  In October, I was really fortunate to spend two weeks in northern Italy. I visited  Venice, Verona, Florence, and Tuscany, specifically the medieval walled hill towns of San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra. They were each wonderful in their own way. I had a fantastic time, and really loved it there.  While I was there, I talked to a few American expats. One American woman in Florence told me, “I've been living here for a year and have lost 10 pounds without doing anything. I eat pasta every day. Plus I can eat dairy and gluten here with no digestive problems. Back in the States, I couldn't tolerate those foods.” I can't tell you how many people have told me stories like this.  Americans who visited Italy told me that they drank wine with one or two meals a day, ate pasta, desserts, not to mention those breakfast croissants, and did not get the indigestion they normally got back home, and did not gain weight. The Italians are known for their fantastic cuisine. Italy was the EAT in Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love.  And for good reason.  Have you ever wondered why Italian cuisine is so delicious? And how do they eat that carb-heavy diet filled with pasta, bread, croissants (see typical Italian breakfast to the right) and other delicious things, and not have the obesity problem that much of the rest of the world is experiencing?  Italy has approximately half the obesity rate as the United States.  Tune in below (or wherever you get your podcasts) and learn how you too can eat like an Italian. If you're ready to learn to eat in a sustainable way that is in tune with your body's hunger and fullness signals, to end emotional and drop down to your healthy weight, sign up for my online Weight Loss for Foodies program. In it, you'll go beyond what I talk about in the podcast, and can download worksheets to practice what you're learning and guided audio practices.

The rivalry between Lorenzo de Medici and pope Sixtus IV, Francesco della Rovere starts to heat up as they clash over lands and resources, reaching very dangerous levels. Meanwhile the Medici brothers find time for another great tournament and Giuliano finds love with the most beautiful woman in Florence, the "living Venus" Simonetta Vespucci, whose name leads us into a digression on where America got its name.
