Novels # 27: Atlas of American


Giuseppe Antonio Borgese (1882-1952) is one of the most interesting intellectual figures, and never remember too, the Our twentieth century. Journalist, lecturer, novelist and literary critic in 1931 is "self-exile in the United States not to swear allegiance to the Fascist Party and will remain there until 1948.
In those years Americans, who lived mainly in New York, writes this Borgese American Atlas, the cui pubblicazione, prevista per il 1936, viene di fatto impedita dalle autorità a causa delle ferme posizioni contro il regime che l’autore aveva assunto in alcuni articoli scritti per il Corriere della Sera (a riguardo delle vicissitudini editoriali di Borgese si rivela preziosa l’introduzione al volume di Ambra Meda).
Il volume uscirà comunque nel 1936 ma in maniera quasi clandestina e a tiratura ridottissima per l'editore Guanda (forse in meno di 200 copie), che la ristamperà ufficialmente nel 1946 e solo in tempi recenti se ne sono ricostruite le tracce per una nuova pubblicazione curata dalle edizioni Vallecchi.
Borgese arrivato nella City sul Vulcania (nave che abbiamo già incontrato nel libro di Marcella Olschki, ed.) Tells New York look very sharp and refined. After an initial wariness mixed with dismay, the author immerses himself in the city and turns, as a natural, often looking up: "Now there was research dell'ardito new style of fancy esornante, a tinkling, unpublished joy: the last masterpiece of the genre bilding of a big automobile company, truly the jewel of New York, a minaret, a lighthouse, whose pediment, which is a cone of chips, the pinnacle as part of a dart: moody or arabesque fantasy, amazing grace that forces you to smile this sky serious "). So that's the Chrysler Bulding Borges.
But not only skyscrapers, and even of the second bilding neologistica Italianization of the word, living the city. The author moves elegantly from architectural aspects to social analysis up to curious and ironic observations ranging from the role of cinema to the diversity of the wardrobes and windows to marvel at the large stations where you can see and find everything apart from the trains .
Although the chapters of the book said some aspects of New York that seems outdated (Harlem, Brooklyn, Central Park and public parks today are very different) is the ability to capture the essence of so many reality still unchanged and that feeling almost epidermal democracy: "Man Comune. Egli è la vera sostanza di New York e dell’America, il suo senso, il suo futuro. Quest’essere, a primo senso insipido, distingue i due continenti più che la voragine di acqua salata… la cultura ottocentesca , da cui tutti deriviamo, in Europa mirò al Superuomo, in America all’Uomo Qualunque. Nietschze fu l’europeo, Whitman l’americano”.
I paragoni sono tanti e mai scontati, come quello con la città di Venezia, quasi poetico: “Forse New York, navigandosi nella baia, può parere un’enorme Venezia, da un battello del Lido? I marmi rosa di Wall Street, se il sole li fa dolci, rammentano il Palazzo Ducale: a sinistra l’Empire Empire State Building, already in velvety shadow, is a bell tower. " A comparison exquisitely re-discover that Adam Gopnik, surely unaware, this year in its a house in New York . Other explorations
American author (California, Chicago, Washington) enrich the ' "Atlas" Borges but New York is and remains the true star, the source of emotions, the city where absolute "what is new not ashamed to be such ".

Novels in New York # 26: Dying in Little Italy in New York


Little Italy Dying is one of twelve novels (not all published in Italy) yellow Gaslight Mystery Series by Victoria Thompson created and set in New York at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
E 'at the time, as the name suggests the series, in which the streets were still lit by gas lights and even when one of the four commanders of the Police was Theodore Roosevelt, future president of the USA. Starring
investigations are veteran sergeant Frank Malloy and Sarah Brandt, midwife of those brave tumultuous years that, between birth and the other, she becomes involved in killings and disappearances. In Italy
investigations of this unusual duo are published in the historical series of the Yellow Mondadori that Die in Little Italy has come to No 3018 ( Murder in Little Italy, the eighth of the Gaslight Mystery series according to American History), where Sarah is struggling with the death of a young mother married Irish Italian Antonio Ruocco.
The case, like all previous, intricate but this time make it more complex we shall also make the delicate balance between the Italian and Irish communities as well as the inevitable shadow (ahinoi. ..) of the Mafia, specifically the mysterious criminal organization known as the Black Hand.
The author has had a dozen titles of setting nineteenth century, and here combines his experience in the historical novel that has been the fascination for the city of New York, which began when, in recent times, one of his daughters had enrolled in the Tisch School of the Arts .
This love for the city and its past reflected in more than a moment "... he immediately took a hansom," the two-wheeled carriage with the coachman who drove perched on the back, but now had to make several economies to provide for his new family. " The notations vintage and characterization of the Italian characters, thanks to the successful writer of real relationships, enrich a narrative elegant, full of dialogue and almost modest life: "emerged after a while ... 'with a rather crumpled copy of another tabloid newspaper in your hands ... there was also a drawing of a girl with a voluptuous body, sprawled on the bed collapsed, wearing only a short nightdress .
A style that brings to mind the definition of "yellow lady" that sometimes the critics throw at stake when dealing with authors like Agatha Christie (with her "Miss Marple") or Patricia Wentworth (with its " Miss Silver "). The mysteries of
Thompson are disengaged but pleasant reading, a kind of antidote to the explicit descriptions pulp-splatter-gore thriller that characterize many dell'attuale produzione. Ogni tanto tra una minuziosa descrizione autoptica e secchi di sangue ci sta bene anche leggere di una vittima "scompostamente accasciata sul letto" .

Whats The Best Car Thermostat

Novels in New York # 24: One Day I'll come and throw stones at your window


The closest thing to "One Day I'll come and throw stones at your window" I have read is the Official Biography Ramones di Jim Bessman e, sia chiaro, è un accostamento che faccio con piacere. Con quel piacere tipico del lettore che ha tra le mani un volume da scoprire e ne viene catturato già alle prime pagine.
Il romanzo d’esordio di Claudia Durastanti, italiana di Brooklyn classe 1984, è un affresco transgenerazionale che parte dalla fine degli anni 70 e giunge ai giorni nostri attraverso le vicende di giovani irrisolti, inquieti, più o meno angosciati dall’esistenza, che arrivano a Manhattan dal vicino eppur lontanissimo New Jersey, terra di periferia e di piccole trasgressioni sfrontate nel look e smarrite nell’anima: “Starai bene a New York. Sono solo venti miglia da qui, ma so bene che c’è un fiume in half, they just get there and find out how much you scare your diversity is commonplace here that you could sell so well. "
Jane and Michael, Francis and Zelda, Edward and Ginger live a postpunk version of the American dream ( the phrase "The American Dream is over" peeps since the cover), the boys will attract and repel the magnetic field of the city the world's most coveted among college premises, rented rooms, underground parties, but always surrounded by lots and lots of music (the author is an expert in indie-rock, a collaborator of the webzine IndieforBunnies ). What
old prof (who also ... about my age) called "young universe" here is gutted, sometimes almost vomited on the pages of the author's sharp as you can appreciate the ability to tell the years she has lived and serene (cynical?) distance by which ignores New York "fashion" to reveal unconventional corners and neighborhoods of the city, pop art, the opposition, the rebellion of the characters to something that perhaps did not understand what it is but in any case to which it is right to rebel.
The book proceeds with a fitting multilevel narrative, postmodern heir to the dictates of John Dos Passos' Manhattan Transfer and his (I know, this blog I quote him often, but there you are) and descriptions that reveal a brilliant originality "The German word Neu (a record store, ed) of the sign was painted lime green, the color that most of the other Jessica associated with that type of music. What then is the color of the drains in the Batman cartoons and teeth of the Sex Pistols singer who calls himself Johnny Rotten. "
who wanted to attend any concert at CBGB, it stopped more than five minutes in front of a work by Basquiat to see America, who thinks that the disk was crap then and now rather than revalue, read Claudia's book and read it along with all others.

Church Member Welcome Letter

Novels in New York # 23: New Trilogy Novels


The first contact with the works of Paul Auster I had in 1995 through the comic book adaptation of his story City Glass, published by Bompiani and recently reissued by Coconino Press.
time I was employee of the Italian edition of Batman and one of the drafters of the Dark Knight, David Mazzucchelli, was part of this project of graphic novels with Paul Karasik.
I was so impressed that I went immediately to look for the book, that The New York Trilogy that in addition to City of Glass also has Ghosts and The Locked Room .
The stories appeared in the U.S. between 1985 and 1987 have arrived in Italy by Rizzoli, and then, ten years later, published by Einaudi for the "Supercoralli" and continually reissued under "Super ET.
are three detective stories, unusual and haunting, with memorable anti-heroes and writing a textbook for a New York real and surreal at the same time. Auster is one of the best writers and New Yorkers do not find some in this blog. In City of Glass
the main character is Daniel Quinn, a writer of detective, who gets a call from a stranger who mistook him for the investigator Paul Auster. Needless to say Quinn decides to meet his mysterious interlocutor: Peter Stillman, troubled individual from the past ...
In the second story, Ghosts, the protagonist is a real investigator, that Mr. Blue, who is nominated by his boss, the mysterious Mr. White, to spy on the mysterious Mr. Black ...
Finally, The Locked Room. Here, as in the first episode, the character around which the story is a writer, tracked down by his wife of his old friend, Fanshave, who disappeared mysteriously years ago. Through the manuscripts of his friend, the writer reconstructs the strange life of Fanshave, you will fall in almost replaced but ... a surprise is coming.
stories, in hindsight, are not disconnected from each other. Reading them in a row makes us feel involved in a game of roles not defined (who follow those who spy who, who loves). The noir becomes almost a psychological thriller, the reader is led not only to wonder how it will end, but also to look inside himself, to identify themselves in situations that are most unlikely they reflect on life.
And then there's New York, a beautiful and metaphysics: "New York was an inexhaustible place, a labyrinth of endless steps: and as the exploring, getting to know thoroughly the streets and neighborhoods, the city still left with the the feeling of having perduto".

Does Shingles Cause Throwing Up

York in New York # 22: The Stochastic Man


Ecco uno di quei "lampi di futuro" citati nell'intestazione del blog. L'Uomo Stocastico (The Stochastic Man) è un romanzo di Robert Silverberg, classe 1935, scrittore considerato, a ragione, uno dei maestri della fantascienza con circa cinquanta romanzi all'attivo.
Innanzitutto, per quei pochi che non lo sapessero, spieghiamo che l'aggettivo stocastico significa "dovuto al caso, aleatorio, congetturale" ed è proprio di congetture, previsioni e probabilità statistiche che il protagonista Lew Nichols, è un esperto. Le sue capacità sono messe al servizio di Paul Quinn, sindaco di New York con ben altre ambizioni politiche. Siamo in un futuro oramai passato (romanzo del 1975, ambientazione 1997-2000, e oggi, sempre per quei pochi che non lo sapessero, siamo nel 2010).
Il talento di Nichols è però nulla al confronto di quello di Martin Carvajal, personaggio enigmatico, squallido e insignificante nell'aspetto, che finanzia Quinn e inizia un inquietante connubio con il protagonista.
La New York narrata da Silverberg è apocalittica quanto basta, socialmente devastata quanto basta (ricchi ricchissimi, poveri poverissimi, bande di afroamericani che annunciano l'acquisto di carrarmati con una conferenza stampa), promiscua sessualmente quanto basta (l'AIDS has not been the subject of clairvoyance), violent enough, but are capable of withstanding all: "A part of New York of the same brilliance shines known from Athens, Constantinople, Rome, Babylon and Persepolis, the rest is a jungle, a real jungle, filthy and squalid, the only law is force. It is not a dying town, but rather an ungovernable city. "
The story is channeled early on the ground of political fiction, the character of Quinn can remember so many politicians today, not only Americans, and the very special relationship with the wife of Sundara Nichols shows us a doctrine, the "Transit", which mixes Buddhism, Zen, fascism, Platonism and tantra.
Do not forget the New Year in New York in 2000 and the manner in which he lived in the novel, compared to which the real one, marked only by the false, the thrill quite false millennium bug, will only make us feel tenderness.
Stochastic Man was first published in Italy in 1976 at no. Urania 687 of the series, and has recently been reissued on No 80 Collection of Urania, which incorporated science fiction texts of the past of some importance, for the most part already presented in the series "mother."

Who attends this web space can easily be argued that the story is set in Los Angeles and very little or nothing in the Big Apple, but the link with the city, the continued references, provenance of the author-protagonist, the recurring references to New York (also referred to the book by John Dos Passos, see here ) make Paradise Boulevard a novel metanewyorchese "jokes are effective on cities, such as when the protagonist's father recalled that "I arrived by ship, I saw the Statue of Liberty and thought wonder: These Americans are so rich that the works of art, not keep them in the village square, but in the sea ".

He lives with his girlfriend, Joyce, also a writer, educated but without talent, who earns his salary as a cloakroom. Among

Inspirational Quotes Sarah Jessica Parker

Novels in New York # 20: Serpico


I received this book as a gift decades ago from high school classmates on the occasion of my birthday. The boys, then much more enlightened than me, chose this gift instead of something much more material (and perhaps the most desired). I thanked him warmly and put it in the family library, reading through old school, side by Cuore by Edmondo De Amicis and school memories of John Moscow. Then, years later, I happened to see the film of the same name , gorgeous, directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Al Pacino and, with his tail between his legs, I picked up the book and devoured it.
The story of Serpico, the cop Frank Serpico , è la storia di un cavaliere solitario sui generis, agente anticonformista che combatte una battaglia, durissima, contro la corruzione che dilaga nella Polizia newyorchese alla fine degli anni 60 e nei primi 70: "La subcultura imponeva le proprie regole. Se un poliziotto era, diciamo, cattolico, andava a messa tutte le domeniche, perché altrimenti rischiava l'inferno; ma accettare bustarelle non gli sembrava un peccato."
Peter Maas (1929-2001) è molto efficace nel raccontare con il ritmo del giallo d'azione una vicenda costruita sulla base di verbali e documentazioni. A tal proposito mi è tornata alla mente una confidenza di un amico che, grande lettore, mi disse di aver perso interest in pure fiction and that he converted to the novels based on true stories, because "the stories are true and most are beautiful." Here, Serpico is a true story and tells a New York real, raw and dangerous as the city was in those years. There is a lot of Brooklyn, where the officer lived at the beginning: "About two and a half one morning, headed to Fulton Street, a wide busy road that now is the commercial center of Brooklyn, but on which, when Serpico was assigned all'Ottantunesimo, opened only decrepit shops ") but also a lot Village where Frank moved gradually so that we can define: " still lives in his parents' home in Brooklyn, but had gotten into the habit of renting, from time to time, for a month at a time, furnished accommodation in the Village. " And it is the Village in those years, one of the most interesting New Yorkers of the novel. Serpico lives, dresses, thinks and walks like one of the many writers, artists, poets, children of the Beat Generation and close to the hippie movement that roam the neighborhood.
The Village is not the Serpico-chic residential neighborhood it is today and the atmosphere of these pages is one of the strengths of the book, regardless dal'intensa, exciting and - I remember once - true story of the protagonist.
As usual, in the case of out of print books, the illustration is my personal copy of the 1975 and indicated that the latest edition is available.

The City Invincible is many things.
It 's a great Italian title for a book about New York instead of the more cryptic Netherland the original version. And 'one of the best novels about the post-September 11. And 'one of those rare books that tells the story of cricket. It 's the good work of the third Joseph O'Neill. E ', last but not least , one of the favorite books of Barack Obama, whose "presidential review" on New York Times Magazine has greatly contributed to the fame of the author.

The Towers tragedy shakes not only the city but also their marriage and Hans in the end he just, he moved into the glorious Chelsea Hotel and runs for its namesake neighborhood (with detours to Brooklyn and Queens), one of the most seductive of city, with its old style buildings, small shops and the many dogs on a leash .

Invincible # 18 : A Home in New York in New York


Mi sono imbattuto in Una Casa a New York per caso, girovagando tra gli scaffali di una megalibreria della periferia di Roma.
E ho scoperto un eccellente scrittore.
Questo di Adam Gopnik è un volume imperdibile, che si colloca su un confine indefinito tra romanzo, inchiesta, diario e letteratura di viaggio. L'autore, un pò come accadde a Henry James (più volte citato nel volume) circa un secolo fa, torna a New York dopo un periodo di assenza nel quale ha vissuto a Parigi. Gopnik rientra nella City per scoprirla e riscoprirla e ce la racconta da un punto di vista molto personale, al tempo stesso realistico e romantico, giornalistico e filosofico. Ed è così che, a prescindere da dove ci troviamo, lo scrittore ci fa vivere a New York, ci fa sentire la città sulla pelle e nel cuore, grazie a piccole grandi storie di vita quotidiana, di incontri, di vita familiare, di bambini (suoi e non solo).
Gopnik, collaboratore del New Yorker dal 1986 è un osservatore acutissimo e un narratore efficace. Mescola aneddoti a filosofia, cronaca a cultura popolare, aspetti demografici a religione, sempre con originalità e senza mai annoiare. Pagina dopo pagina, respiriamo la splendida aria autunnale della città, partecipiamo a feste ebraiche, recite scolastiche, partite di baseball, trattiamo con vicini suscettibili, conosciamo la storia di locali jazz, di chef e ristoranti, alziamo gli occhi verso l'architettura per poi accorgersi che ci si vive dentro e riviviamo con un inedito punto di vista la tragedia di Ground Zero: "E' la città simbolica che ci attira qui, ma è la città reale che ci fa restare. Sembra difficile credere che la città andrà avanti, eppure è importante crederci, perché adesso sappiamo come sarebbe perderla, sarebbe perdere la vita stessa".
La New York che leggiamo is the city we love and that always turns out the original, new and evolving to be confirmed, if proof were needed, that there is always New York City - and much - to say, especially if you know how to write it.
The American title - Through the Children's Gate - it sounds very different from the Italian edition. Again, as often happens in Italy will tip the city in general, it is understandable, but I think it is worth quoting a passage from the book that refers to the original version: "We returned to New York in 2000 after years of separation , to cross the Children's Gate and set up home here, once and for all. the Children's Gate - the gate of the children - there is seriously it really is possible to cross it. It is the entrance to Central Park which is located at the crossroads of 76th Street and Fifth Avenue. "
confess that in my trip to New York I had never noticed the names of the various inputs of Central Park, the next time I will and I also will come in that poetic passage of children.

Novels # 16: The Catcher in the Rye


The Catcher in the Rye ( "The Catcher in the Rye" ), is one of the most celebrated novels of training world, perhaps the most famous one, written in 1951 by Jerome David Salinger, better known as JD Salinger (1919-2010), author shy, unapproachable, infotografabile, inintervistabile (a couple of interviews in fifty years and only one official photos).
Beyond the character of the author, who retired from public life and career in 1965, "Holden" text is read and reread by those who love writing (and who wants to be a writer). The plot sees the center of the seventeen year old Holden Caulfield, student-model, four schools and changed a little brother who died of leukemia. The boy runs away from Pencey college in Pennsylvania and runs to New York City.
And here starts the adventure.
Alberghetti disreputable, girls, prostitutes, professors, disturbances, drunkenness, emotions, melancholy ... and New York. So yes, a lot of exciting and New York. Edmont Hotel, the Zoo, the Central Park lake with its ducks in winter, the clock of the Biltmore Hotel, museums around Central Park.
and lesser known places, like the neighborhood where he lives Professor Antolini: "They were very chic in that apartment on Sutton Place, with a living room that you go down two steps and the bar and everything."
The Salinger of New York is real and unreal at the same time, a place no-place wanted the main character, reached with the body but the soul still wandering: "I went back to the hotel on foot. Forty beautiful island . It's not that I want to walk. It is rather that I had no desire to restart all the ups and downs by taxi.
This New York has so impressed on the imagination and the criticism that The New York Times has drawn up a special map for the benefit of every tourist literature .
The city symbol of the city is an integral part of the novel and it also binds to non-narrative events (December 8, 1980, a copy of the novel was in the pocket of Mike Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon in his home in New York).

Life and works of the canon Giovanni Spano

Giovanni Spano, nato a Ploaghe l'8 marzo 1803 da una famiglia di agiati possidenti, fu un pensatore coraggioso e moderno. Si occupò di tutto ciò che poteva attirare la sua immensa curiosità, esercitando i suoi vasti interessi culturali in molteplici ambiti disciplinari, tanto da poter essere considerato l'iniziatore degli studi sardi e sulla Sardegna. Fu il primo studioso ad occuparsi di archeologia scientifica in Sardegna. È lui stesso a raccontare in una autobiografia (pubblicata a puntate sulla rivista "La Stella di Sardegna", fondata a Sassari nel 1875 da Enrico Costa) le vicende che lo videro protagonista, a partire dalla sua vita di scolaro. A nove anni venne, infatti, condotto a Sassari per frequentare la scuola of Scolopi.Successivamente, at the seminary of Trent, earned the title of Magister Artium liberalium and, in 1825, a doctorate in theology. He learned Italian, Latin, greek, Hebrew, Chaldean, Arabic and all the dialects of Sardinia.

In 1827 he was ordained priest in 1831 and moved to Rome. Here he cultivated his studies of antiquity, of Sacred Scripture and Oriental Languages, and came into contact with some eminent masters.

In 1834 he was appointed professor of Sacred Scripture and Oriental Languages \u200b\u200bat the University of Cagliari. Established, at once, good relations with leading intellectuals of the time, began to follow, books and frequent travel in the territory, the two strands that most attracted him: the language and archeology of Sardinia. In 1835 he began, in fact, his archaeological explorations in the island, but the need to compare his observations with other scholars urged him to make a long trip in various Italian cities. In 1836 he returned to Sardinia, started the first excavations in some sites and addresses the problem of the antiquity of the nuraghi. At the same time continued his studies on the Sardinian language. In 1839 he was appointed director of the Library of the University of Cagliari, which renewed the law. Accused by the Magistrate of the studies, to neglect the teaching of Sacred Scripture to concentrate on language sardines, and poetry, he was reduced salary. It was therefore compelled, in 1842, leaving the direction of the library. But his appointment as canon, and the allocation of the prebend of Villaspeciosa, allowed him to break free from financial worries and concentrate on his studies.

was in constant contact with scholars from all over Europe, with a close match witnessed by some 2500 letters, now housed in the University Library of Cagliari. He began to dig at various locations, including Nora, Ploaghe Lanusei and simultaneously followed his studies in the field of language, beginning with the preparation of his Dictionary. With the "perfect blend" had difficulty keeping his prebend, but nevertheless continued his scientific work and in the excavations in different parts of Sardinia, acquiring an international reputation. In 1854 he was called to preside at the boarding school and the College of Santa Teresa and founded the "Sardinian Archaeological bulletin" in 1857 became rector of the university. Active, in 1860 he set up in Cagliari, Faculty of Letters, but it was closed soon after for lack of students in the same year gave impetus to the "Archaeological bulletin", which appeared until 1865, with the collaboration of internationally renowned scholars, and also collected a significant number of its publications. Ceased his duties as rector in 1868, continued to take care of his studies, giving rise to periodico "Scoperte archeologiche", che pubblicò fino al 1876. Nel corso delle sue ricerche mise insieme una ricchissima collezione di oggetti, frutto di scavi archeologici, e di quadri che donò ai musei di Cagliari e di Sassari.

Nel 1871 fu nominato senatore del Regno per i suoi meriti scientifici. Tuttavia non si recò mai in Senato e non prestò mai giuramento al re d'Italia. Come sacerdote non poteva, infatti, non essere solidale con il pontefice Pio IX: la proclamazione di Roma a capitale d'Italia sottraeva ai papi un potere detenuto da oltre un millennio.

I suoi scritti sono particolarmente numerosI: oltre agli studi di carattere archeologico ha pubblicato anche una miriade di opere dedicate alla lingua sarda (National Spelling Sardinia, Cagliari, 1840; Vocabulary Sardinian-Italian and Italian Sardinia, vol. I, Cagliari, 1851) and philological publications.

John Spano deserves to be remembered not only for having revealed the origins and reasons for the nation's cultural Sardinia, but also for the iron will to read up, to deepen the disciplines in which precursor was beyond the confines of his island and for helping to catch the historic Sardinia.

In the spring of 1877 manifested the serious health problems that April 3, 1878 led to his death.

The tomb named after Canon John Spano is situated within the monumental cemetery of Bonaria, on the north side. The reuses a tomb found Roman had the same scholar. Designed by Canon nine years before his death, as stated by one of the inscriptions on the front ("Iohannes Spanus Vivus fecit sibi MDCCCLXIX ... ') is composed of a Roman sarcophagus supported by four columns and surmounted by a marble bust of the deceased attributed to Giuseppe Sartorio.

Treasure of Morgantina

The Metropolitan Museum in New York has recently returned to our country, the so-called "Treasure of Morgantina", consisting of sixteen silver objects dating from the third century BC

Morgantina is an archaeological site on the outskirts of the village of Aidone in the province of Enna. Was based in south-eastern Sicily from the people of Morgeti, who was eventually absorbed by the Greeks, and among the fourth and third centuries BC, fell into the orbit of the powerful city of Syracuse. As evidence of this, the treasure of silver was forged under the rule of the tyrant Hieron II of Syracuse (275-215 BC). His last owner was Eupolemo, whose name is still imprinted on one of the finds. These are objects ", table", as the foot-shaped cups with theatrical masks to mix wine with water, the pitcher and attingitoio, and the other four cups for drinking cup with two handles, and other with votive artifacts and sacred function. Among the finds are the finest flat umbilicate ( phiale mesomphalos ), con cui venivano versati i liquidi durante la celebrazione di sacrifici, il piccolo altare cilindrico ( bomiskos ) decorato con ghirlande e i due contenitori per profumi ed essenze (pissidi) con coperchio decorato.

I sedici argenti (alcuni formati da più pezzi, che portano il totale a ventuno), furono trovati da scavatori clandestini e venduti in due tranche: la prima tra il 1981 e il 1982, la seconda nel 1984. Oggi, finalmente, grazie alle indagini dei Carabinieri del Nucleo per la tutela del patrimonio culturale, i preziosi reperti sono rientrati in Italia e, dopo essere stati esposti sino al 23 maggio al Museo Nazionale Romano, di Roma, saranno trasferiti al Museo Archeologico Regionale “Antonio Salinas "in Palermo.

Elections. Denied the right to vote: the farce of the reductions railway


"It's not the convention-Trenitalia Ministry"

"the rant of a worker"

Filmed by:
Mezziogiorno.net the newspaper of Naples and Caserta
GP) . Unbelievable what happened to a worker in the elections on April 28 and 29 wanted to get to the place of residence by moving from where you work in Northern Italy. Here is his testimony.
"I have regularly bought a train ticket to go to the polls. The scheduled departure was the day before the election, for a mishap at work, I reached la stazione un’ora dopo e ho mancato la partenza; ho chiesto di cambiare il biglietto, di prendere la stessa tipologia di treno il giorno dopo, che mi avrebbe consentito comunque di votare. Ed invece dalla biglietteria, con un sorriso sarcastico, l’operatore mi diceva che il biglietto lo dovevo solo buttare. Allora decido di fare un nuovo biglietto, che avrei preso il giorno dopo, ma di sola andata, in quanto quello di ritorno già l’avevo.
L’operatore mi dice non si può, bisogna emettere sempre due biglietti andata e ritorno.
Insomma a questo punto ho rinunciato. La convenzione è una farsa. Citerò per danni le Ferrovie; mi hanno impedito di votare – conclude amareggiato”.
In effetti the procedure adopted by Trenitalia, if someone as they say in "losing its way" and not just during the 'election trip,' cause for more than a suspicion. On the one hand you required to do just the ticket for that type of train, the other if you lose, you stick to the tram, as in the case of our travelers.
If you miss the train, the traveler to have a minimum refund is still forced to reach a station within 60 minutes, where the ticket could be closed. Before you made the note that had lasted several months, without a seat reservation required, it was was much more flexible. Now you forced to make a reservation and even somersaults. E ' a real vexation to the passenger. Rather than think of the comfort of the various Red Arrow, Trenitalia might think to make your trip more comfortable since the first climb on the train.

time religion: stricter rules for those who do not use


For more information, see: enrollments at state schools and equal to all levels
[Formally, is a 'now optional, in which students may or may not use. In practice, however, a choice different from the time of the Catholic religion is increasingly opposed.]
[ The real coup was led to sign Letizia Moratti in 2004 when, with an ad hoc competition (read amnesty), the majority of them - about 70% - came in a full role in the state, although the Curia of expertise in maintaining the right of cancellation of all the time. Which means, if this happens, that teachers of religion would be covering other role in public schools. Just who possess appropriate educational qualifications, the contest is forgiven].

The latest idea on the Region of Lombardy is a real crackdown to stem the leakage from the 'Catechism of the State': the choice must be made only al momento dell’iscrizione nella prima classe. Non verrà quindi più proposta, al contrario di ciò che è sempre stato fatto, negli anni successivi. I genitori dei ragazzi che dovessero cambiare idea nel corso degli studi dovranno presentare esplicita richiesta in segreteria, ma la variazione avrà effetto solo dall’anno scolastico seguente.

«Chiedere ogni anno ai ragazzi se desiderano seguire religione, come succede in molte scuole, rischia di essere un invito a non farlo. Sarebbe come domandare loro se vogliono essere in classe per il corso di matematica: la tentazione di disertare è forte», commenta Marco Moschetti, insegnante di religione e membro del direttivo dell’ Associazione nazionale insegnanti di religione. Ecco qui spiegata la direttiva lombarda . Per evitare che i ragazzi disertino l’ora di religione, è meglio non ricordare loro che hanno la possibilità di non frequentarla.

Questo metodo, che sottende una certa tendenza coercitiva, non fa altro che perseguire la linea governativa in sostegno della Cei, la quale trae dall’ora di religione nelle scuole degli enormi ritorni in termini evangelici ed economici. I ministri dell’Istruzione dei governi Berlusconi, Letizia Moratti e Mariastella Gemini, hanno sempre più consolidato l’ora religione a scapito delle altre discipline (alle quali si continuano a tagliare ore di didattica) e del diritto degli studenti non cattolici. L’una other have done the impossible to tear up the idea of \u200b\u200bfairness that even a voluntary discipline - and unconstitutional - as the Catholic religion could understand.

The real coup was led to sign Letizia Moratti in 2004 when, with an ad hoc competition (read amnesty), the majority of them - about 70% - came in a full role in the state, although the Curia of expertise in maintaining the right of cancellation of all the time. Which means, if this happens, that teachers of religion would be covering other role in public schools. Just who possess appropriate educational qualifications, the competition is condoned.

One would expect, at minimum, that the hours of teaching an alternative to the Catholic religion, laid down ' last legislative reference in , were economically dependent state. But no. Individual institutions are increasingly squeezed by repeated cuts that strike on the public school as a cleaver, having to meet the possible costs from its own funds. As a result, it could also imagine a child: the majority of Italian schools of all levels, does not provide alternative educational activities.

direct consequence of this is that many families of non-believers or otherwise, to prevent their children are exiles in other classes during the hour of religion as often happens in the nursery and primary schools, waive the right to not use them.

For older children, however, is emerging as an alternative, the corridor or exit early. But here's another little action blackmail from the third year of high school, time for religion helps to ripen school credit in view of the state. And those who do not attend is, therefore, unable to gain such advantage. The mechanism draws the boys, no matter what - and whether - to believe. If the Catholic religion gives extra credit, why not attend it?

Here is an explanation of the Cei-digit frequency per hour of religion, which has a total, the 2008-2009 school year, the accession of 91% of students in public schools.

icing on the cake rich ecclesial forms issued by the Ministry Gelmini for enrollment in the next school year do not include the choice of education and training activities for those who do not use the Catholic religion. The possibilities are in fact only two: individual and group activities with assistance from teachers and from school. E 'planned, said the minister Gelmini between the teeth, the possibility that the school personalize them by adding educational activities, but in the end this 'forgetfulness' is just a sigh of relief to institutions that can avoid posing the problem of providing alternative education. It is not even covered in the modules ministry!

In this climate, the initiative of the Lombardy Region is even clearer. Intended to discourage any further sacrifices along the way especially in high school. Already in Milan alone, 30% of those enrolled in the first years choose not to use the Catholic religion, and the percentage nearly 50% in the last few classes.

summary, you do not provide alternative education, they give college credit (only) to Catholic children and now you do not inform neanche più studenti e genitori dei loro diritti. Fare una scelta diversa da quella caldeggiata dalla Cei e supinamente recepita dai ministri della nostra Repubblica diventa sempre più complicato e, soprattutto, meno conveniente per tutti. Passo dopo passo, si sta spianando il terreno per trasformare l’ora di religione in materia curriculare, come la Gelmini ha auspicato in più occasioni. E quando succederà, probabilmente gli italiani neanche se ne accorgeranno.

For a month or so, there is open to faculty and staff Ata (administrative staff and technical support staff) for the period to request for transfer to another school. So many possible Mopti: logistics (school closest to home), the prestige of a school or a job loss currently busy. The deadline for applications is set for Monday, March 22.

For teachers of elementary and middle teachers of the request must be made right on the web, for teachers in high school still uses it to paper. Interested parties must still navigate between knowledge, word of mouth or indications of preferences dictated by the case. "Every year the same story - said impatiently Pia Cardamone, Professor technical design of the Gadda Paderno Dugnano - and I basarmi on hearsay. Call is not talked about. I went to the school office and as I stated preferences Liss, two places where they could free themselves, then my school and then two art school in Milan. " In addition, two schools in Milan because Pia Cardamone, 52, lives in the area and would like a school Lorenteggio more at your fingertips. But in those two schools seek teachers Milanese design for 2010-2011, you can not know.

In fact, some places are known, as he does know the Director of Education of the province, Giuliana Pupazzoni . "On the site you can find the ones remaining of the year last - he says - and you can still express several preferences. The places listed are those in 2009-2010 were filled by alternates and available again for next year. Moreover, in high school, for the period ending 22 requests for mobility. The entries will end March 26 with the new high schools, technical and vocational schools. At the end of month you will have the full picture of the new pupils and then start the training of new classes. New bodies of faculty and staff Ata. But the requests for transfer will be too late.

However, in this case, according to data provided by Iuniscuola, it seems that in June in Milan and Monza will be at least 1181 retirement of teachers and administrative staff. Then a list of schools in need could have been tentatively have. And at least on the site http://iuniscuolainforma.blogspot.com/ appeared a few days ago.

Finally, rumors of a possible new school board for Monza-Brianza have alerted the teachers who work in the province of Milan was founded in 2004 and would like to have a better idea about what school preference for next year.
