Escapeto The Bottomless Party

The Centenary

Today, March 17, is a day of national holiday to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy. Schools are closed. In 1961, the centenary anniversary, they did not, however, holiday. I remember it well, because in that year I taught in middle school letters of Canino, a small town of Viterbo. On 17 March '61, then, we had lessons till eleven, then ordered the students and went in procession to the top of the country, to bring flowers to a monumentino dedicated to the fallen of the First World War. I was instructed to make the keynote address and I was afraid not to get sapermela: the territory of the feud was "Pope-King", then of Prince Lucien Bonaparte Napoleon's brother, then of Prince Torlonia, not even the birth Ente Maremma was rescued from a situation of common people miserable laborers. Talk to their children a great and generous mother country did not seem the case, I would not understand. I spoke then of the war dead, described them as young people who had left for duty in the trenches, putting aside their dreams: there were those who wanted to be a singer, whom the painter, who won a bicycle, who was a great striker. Real people, not statues. The guys I listened carefully, then returned to school in silence. It was a good day, I think.

Horisontal Slats Fence

The "chaperone"

The newspaper reports that the comments at the International Women's Day also announced the departure dell'ottuagenaria lawyer Anna Maria Secundus, who in years Seventy held a popular book on art criticism "of the Journal on Monday." I had his same office at the "nineteenth century" is a meeting in city galleries. He gave confidence, his visits to exhibitions are conducted in a strictly observant. An elderly, elegant gentleman accompanied him constantly. The gallery was reported that a retired officer who exercises in pure friendship, the task of "chaperone" Miss Secundus. In short, a guarantor of its impeccable reputation. Today, such a task would cause a feminist rally in De Ferrari, but even in those years seemed anachronistic to the unusual partnership. There was a twist: from one day to another, the book Anna Maria Jailer disappeared from the newspaper. Sorry, m'informai and learned that the diligent "chaperone", now on his deathbed, he asked his pupil not to continue with visits to art galleries "because she was not aware that a young woman svolgesse that task without companion. " And the lawyer, although now in his fifties, he heard the last extreme desire "chaperone."

Yara

I read on the nineteenth of Thursday, March 3: "Yara is up on the car of his will of his murderess, a known person, which he trusted. He accepted the move might drive to get home on time within the 19 , as requested by the mother. The little girl was killed a few minutes later. Strangled. "Milena Write instead of Yara and 17.30 instead of 19: you have the exact chronicle of the tragic end of another thirteen, Milena Sutter. It happened in Genoa in May 1971, forty years ago.'s Body Milena was returned from the sea a fortnight later. a life sentence for the crime was a young man, Lorenzo Bozano. refuse to tell, was never possible to prove that he knew Milena. The sentence (after acquittal at first instance) was given by further testing. I remember this history not only for the similarities with the case of Yara, but also because I shake the idea that ongoing investigations will lead to a solution is not obvious, that divide between guilty and innocent. It would indeed be the worst result of tragedy. So I hope in another paper of good fortune after what has led to a breakdown in the airplane to land next to the poor, hard to find the body. Only luck or supernatural event? It 's a disturbing question, but given the circumstances, inevitable.

Welcome Speech For A Ceo

Racing

Dragged by my son Victor, I attended a session auction that included a sketch of the best known part of Eugenio Olivari, "Racing". It 'a work which, in a symphony of blues, bring back the style and spirit of the "Belle Epoque" Genovese: elegant ladies with knots of toilets, men with large panama or held by skipper lined up on wooden ladders Sturla rocks to watch the races sailing. That masterpiece was bequeathed by Max Oberti the Italian Yacht Club and is the dream of all our own art collectors: if they had exhibited at the exhibition "Mediterranean" in progress at Palazzo Ducale would have annihilated the most famous paintings of seascapes made to reach from all over Europe. The sketch at auction was disputatissimo: a great little 'more than an A4 sheet, is left for twenty thousand euro. Attending the competition was laughing, thinking back to forty years ago when I attended the literary prize "Caffaro" just a biography of Olivari that had cost me years of research. This time the award was not awarded because the jury felt that we could not give a "prize so important" to work (mine) "dedicated to a completely unknown artist." Today to take home a sketch of the "Race" It takes a kilo of gold. And the award Caffaro no longer exists.

Klonopin Inbound Into Customs

The sofa

In the sixties, in Via XX Settembre, there was still a small auction house of Mrs. Vitelli, my neighbor in via Lata. Dispersed, mostly furniture that came from upper middle class housing. I always looking for little pictures of Ligurian painters, there are a round of selling: when I won a lot, the old lady's hammer, and, smiling, said: "It will end in Via Lata." It happened at auction a resounding beauty of a sofa, decorated with bouquets of flowers on a white background: came from the abandoned theater scene kit Margherita. We have a crush and, at the time of the race, I raised my hand. Almost immediately, however, I realized that I have a fierce competitor: he was down the hall and exceeded every time my offer. I looked at him angrily and said, "And that check from where? Yet I know ...". In short, I was forced to surrender. The next day I returned to the auction hall to see the following items of enchantment. In one corner of the sofa was lost, packed and ready for dispatch: on the jute had pasted a piece of paper with the address: "Maestro Umberto Bindi, Rome." That's why I knew the hated opponent. When, almost forty years later, I learned from TV Bindi's death, I thought, "I wonder what will the couch ...". Things to maniacs, I admit.

How To Write Birthday Wishes To Boss

Women

The massive demonstration on Sunday to claim the dignity of women I brought to mind an anecdote which I attended a month ago. I was the post office to pay the subscription TV, but the wait was prolonged because a young woman had started an argument with the clerk at the counter. At one point, the row has raised the voice of a little man who was the double of Ferribotte: "Women should stay at home ...." "Mamma mia - I thought - now an uproar broke out." The target dell'invettiva has instead responded, calmly: "You are right, sir, you should But that husbands receive a wage sufficient to support his family. "Ferribotte had escaped, nock a woman who works out of necessity and not" to come true. "All in all, the episode confirmed that the" world woman ", often represented as a uniform force determined to seize power, it is far from compact: there is a woman who works for ambition but also had to grind, one that follows a vocation and that he spends his salary to be in the office all dressed 'latest fashion. My question is: which of these subgroups are pulling the sprint to the feminine revolution? It' s a basic phenomenon or a summit, albeit crowded?

Ok To Take Probiotics With Antibiotics

Santa

All the people of my generation in the family snapshot taken by a photographer on the street "voluntary." The man with the Leica, without a flash, he offered a coupon number: "Come and see the photo, without commitment, can buy it if you like." The curiosity did the rest. One of these street photographers working under the portico of the Carlo Felice and was joined in December by a costumed Santa Claus, which attracted mothers and sons. The company was called "Photo Cineclair" and was the proprietor Mr. June, who had two sons, both journalists, stenographers, one at "XIX Century" and the other to the "Corriere della Sera." The stenographer of the nineteenth, George, for help his father a photographer, often wore the Santa costume. Sometimes, however, forgetting to be in disguise, when he passed a colleague in the newspaper, she greeted him, thus revealing their identity. Nothing wrong, of course, but some editors a bit 'snobby criticized that second job, they say ridiculous and unseemly. George is not worried about it in June, was a naive and cheerful, always devoted to good, especially children. His constant commitment was rewarded with appointment as a UNICEF ambassador: he was great in those clothes, even better than in Santa Claus.

Mcdonalds Tune I M Loving It

The framework

Tonietto met the policeman, now retired, to the exhibition and workshops genovese di Sant'Agata Worn clothing. Squared circle and often he was burning on the edge of the purchases. When he was still in service, Tonietto enjoyed an undisputed popularity: directing traffic in the square of the Mint moving solemnly on a wooden platform, the bulk physics, waterproof waxed mustache and white handlebar, made him look like a living monument. In his house, the policeman friend had two things that aroused my envy: a player piano roll of the twentieth century and a painting depicting the studio of a sculptor. I asked you to buy that picture, but the amount to be paid 125 thousand-lire - seemed to me excessive. The negotiations went on and on, to no avail. Then one day, I phoned the wife of Tonietto: "My husband, unfortunately, been lacking. Before he died he told me: "You know, that picture with the studio of a sculptor, from a Paglieri on my part." That's why I called. "Thanked moved, but said that did not seem right to take the painting for free, I wanted to pay it." Of course - I said the lady, my husband told me to give me 125 thousand pounds and not discount them. " Sborsai without a murmur. Devil of a policeman, even dying had remained inflexible as to the time when he took out the piece of fines.

Jokes

In middle school, Professor Rita Masi Cerati lesson was reading them on "Candid" Guareschi, the headings "Viewed from the right" and "Viewed from the left" was a way to feed us free trial on the facts. The recipe can be applied today to the cases of Knight, pitting two old jokes. Viewed from the right: an old woman calls the police: "My neighbor across the turns in the house naked with the windows wide open." The police runs, scans and objected: "But madam, you see only from the waist up, there is a window sill." "You climb on the cabinet and see!" replies the old lady. Viewed from the left by train, a traveler, alone in the compartment, is seized by uncontrollable intestinal crisis. Open a newspaper on the floor, breaks free and goes all under the seat. Here comes another passenger who complains dell'odoraccio. "I do not feel anything," says the astute. The newcomer does not fit, see a piece of paper, pull it and discovers the loot. "You see?" exclaims. And the other: "Well, if it gives heed to all that is in the press ...". It 's almost needless to add that, in this case, the old woman on the cabinet resembles Boccassini, while the incontinent train is the alter ego of "the world's favorite prime minister". Which of the two old jokes I enjoy the most? No, things repeated bore me.

The building

My son, Renato Buratti, construction engineer, he can not bullshitting, but realized very important works: the other day I was invited to make a visit to the palace that he built (as the project manager) in the square Sopranis In the district Genoese Dinegro. The majestic beauty of the building I was stunned, not knowing if I had seen nothing of its history, I would have thought of being in front of a work of Giuseppe Terragni, who was the best Italian architect in the period between the two world wars . The whole square was rebuilt for the better, is no longer the semi-abandoned space in which I pushed myself as a boy to go and look around in an old ice factory: a magic lane full of furniture and coils. Now the factory is gone, left the room for the new building. I gave her farewell with a sonnet: "The ice factory was Dinegro, / supply vessels bananas / lists follow each reading / rollers, including a drain allegro. / A block (wrapped in wool / to last) was enough to ice / made of wood and zinc. The housewife / will store the water fountain / sparkling performance with the two cartine. / steals some piece of that ice / slush the emerald dream / Cornigliano, fable lost: / glasses remained on a cold veil / h this covers our life ".

How To Do Blue Highlights On Black Hair

Fiat

Forty years ago, in June of 1970, I was at the gates of the Fiat Mirafiori during one of the cyclical crises of the colossus. Posted in Turin for a series of articles, I had already been in contact with wings extreme conflict, the chief of staff of the company and a leader of "Lotta Continua", the movement that fanned the flames of the claims. Two interviews, two disappointments: the manager claimed that Fiat had assistesse interview a witness of his choice, saying he feared that the statements attributed never said, in the field against the "big" revolutionary asked me thirty thousand dollars for a declaration: in exchange for payment guaranteed me he would not make complaints if - as expected - had distorted his thinking. I refused and walked away. In conclusion, I was disappointed and sad at the gates like a wet dog. I clarified the situation, with a few focused words, a worker who came out: "Look, if Fiat is an investment, it does certainly improve my working conditions ...". It was the certification of a complete estrangement between the parties. Looking back, I will be connected the events of then and now a famous quote by Gianni Agnelli: "Falling in Love? E 'stuff as a waiter." So I doubt takes a paradoxical but Agnelli will never truly love their factories?

Pregnancy And Pooping A Lot

Radetzky

Ms. Vincenzi, Mayor of Genoa, considered an insult to the 150 anniversary of the unification of Italy that, in the New Year concert at the Teatro Carlo Felice, has played the well-known Radetzky March, the Austrian Marshal accerrimo who was an enemy of the patriots in Milan. I believe that if you had done a survey, the majority of enthusiastic spectators, when questioned about the identity of Radetzky, he replied "But it is the author of the march." Ignorance that justifies because I myself do not hear about the repression of Radetzky at least half a century since, that is, the Risorgimento was put in limbo by the subjects to make room for more social aspects: eg General Bava Beccaris cannon against demonstrators Milanese 1898. Despite the silence, I still knew all of Radetzky, thanks to my notebook "for good" fourth-grade: a cover page was in fact told the story of the Five Days of Milan, with the short-lived victory for the Patriots, followed by the return of grim sergeant. The story was also accompanied by a poem in Milanese dialect, which I still remember the opening lines: "El if el Radesca boasted / de cognoss the Milanese / and inscì ridend it schersava el / co OS Croatia, the Hungarian co ... "Who knows who had written: I have searched in vain on the Internet.

Normal Thyroid Ultrasound

Students Without

Giorgio Napolitano signed the Gelmini Law, which is then in effect: Despite appeals, demonstrations, riots, climbing roofs, fasting, students and researchers have achieved nothing, not even in terms of visibility, in such a gathering of minds and degrees, the only character came to the fore was a "pizza precarious" licensed media, which, perhaps to live up to his profession, gave a monstrous "pizza" with the helmet to a fellow parade and gave him a nose to Bearzot. I remember, certainly by contrast, the only student demonstration in which I participated. It was in 1953, Tito was trying to get possession of Trieste and the President of the Council Pella had sent our troops to the border. At Columbus High School decided to do a march in support of the government and ask for permission to head (gosh, how we were covered!). Professor Ciminiello we listened, his face purple: "Permission?" I command you to go and show! I have fought to Trieste in the First World War. " We left joyous, but after fifty yards we stopped for a port that were holding picket steel hooks used to move bales of cotton. We were told curtly: "War to Trieste? Are you crazy, do not talk! Go back to school." Five minutes later we were back in the pews.
