Imola GP: the historic circuit is the watershed to verify the boredom of the world championship due to the dominance of Red Bull

On May 19th the race will take place on the Imola circuit, specifically on the Enzo and Dino Ferrari racetrack, which was once known as the San Marino GP (due to its proximity to the small peninsula state), which was introduced in 1981 and which during the decades has become a truly famous circuit, also unfortunately to the unpleasant death of Ayrton Senna, who today many still consider as the best driver ever.This will be the 7th grand prix of the 2024 world championship, almost a third of the entire season, but this is the year with the highest number of grand prix ever for Formula 1, 24, and therefore the season is still very long.Having arrived this far we can already outline a small summary of the season. Redbull’s dominance seems to continue but not like last year. Sainz’s victory for Ferrari in Australia and Norris’s victory for McLaren in the last GP (Miami) are confirmation. But not only that: the gaps between Redbull and the other opponents seem much smaller and the hope that we can witness a more balanced and therefore more spectacular world championship is still alive.Yes, because in recent decades there have been real dominion cycles of victories by Red Bull and Mercedes which have constantly alternated without leaving any hope for their opponents.For a Ferrari fan it is sometimes hard to understand this interminable World Cup fast.In this grand prix the most hopeful news is that the Maranello team has brought a huge package of updates to the single-seater which, at least on paper, should bring significant improvements to Ferrari. Frederic Vasseur himself, sporting director of the single-seater, declared that he is confident in the new updates, stating that he brought the innovative package to the single-seater on the Imola circuit both because it is the first European GP of the season and both to honor the Ferrari name at to which the circuit where you race is dedicated.We just have to wait and hope.

The Italian political demonstration in which Elon Musk (Atreju) also participated has ended

The day before yesterday, 17 December 2023, the political demonstration organized by Giorgia Meloni ended. The event, called Atreju, took place between 14 and 17 December 2023, and hosted numerous prominent figures including British Prime Minister Sunak and the richest entrepreneur in the world Elon Musk, as well as president of the social network Twitter .

Most people will most likely not follow politics and they will probably have learned about this event from online newspaper news, however even if they learned about it from online news they would hardly have understood the situation. The current government is causing disaster after disaster and at the event there was no talk of politics but only of abstract things such as Italian pride. Indeed, to divert attention from serious questions, such as the growth of people living in poverty in Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni decided to criticize both an influencer and the writer Roberto Saviano who fought against the Mafia and who lives in New York under continuous police. An unprecedented shame because President Meloni had the courage to say that the writer Saviano got rich by writing against the Mafia…

18dec’23: Uefa Champions League Draws for the round of 16

Today there were draws for the Champions League round of 16… things could have gone much better for the Italian teams: Inter drew Ateltico Madrid, who although not a strong team are still an uncomfortable team because they play a football that puts many game modes into crisis: Simeone’s team often closes in on defense and starts again with quick counterattacks. A very difficult but not impossible match promises to be a very difficult but not impossible match for Napoli: half a miracle will be needed. For Lazio, however, it seems objectively impossible to pass.
As for the other matches, it must be said that PSG will have an easy game with Real Sociedad and also Manchester City and Real Madrid.

the Molise ski resorts of Campitello Matese are for sale

Campitello Matese ski facilities (Molise)

in recent weeks some bad news has arrived for my region… the court has decided to put the ski facilities up for sale (at auction) because the company that currently manages them is in debt to the municipality… For years now that Campitello has become a deserted destination… until a few years ago I went skiing but in recent years with the politicians who didn’t get a measure right it was no longer possible to ski because the lifts were always closed due to some problem… now that with this year we are having anomalous apocalypse temperatures (and therefore the winter season will not be there) I hope that all the politicians who have not allowed people to ski in recent years will also feel the heat

The incredible heat of this month of October in Italy

We are at the end of October, almost November and here in Italy (at the moment I am in a hilly area far from the sea with a previously predominantly continental climate) it is still hot and in the late morning it is even possible to walk outside in short sleeves. I never remember heat like this.I love the heat and would prefer these temperatures to the typical winter cold but obviously everything has a price and this anomalous climate could affect agricultural crops.This is clear and overwhelming proof for those who still consider climate change a hoax.There are even some experts who believe that winter might not arrive this year…

Casting has begun for the film “Oro” set in Molise and Puglia

Oro is a noir-tinged thriller film, a drama film, a black comedy that investigates the history and culture of a territory rich in legends and wonderful places.A film about the tradition that winds along the whole region following the ancient paths of sheep tracks: a fascinating journey from Upper Molise up to the slopes of Matese, along the Biferno Valley up to Termoli. Then continuing along the Tavoliere delle Puglie and then again to the Gargano National Park, with an eye towards the east.It tells the story of a people, about time advancing in the contrast between young and old, between vehemence and wisdom, between talent and experience. Oro is a film about sacredness, about the deepest meaning of devotion, a story with a strong presence of female identity, custodian of the deepest values. The rediscovery of the strength of one’s roots, a fundamental path that the protagonists take to build their future.

The film will stage the story of two territories, Molise and Puglia, which, with their cultural and natural treasures, will become protagonists alongside the main actors. The troupe will include a large presence of local professionals and artists, confirming Mr. Arkadin Film’s strong predisposition to invest in the territories that host its productions, as happened in Emilia Romagna and Trentino during the making of the 2020 cinematic success Il Pantani case.The artistic cast includes prestigious names from the Italian film scene. To name a few: Francesco Pannofino, Edoardo Siravo, Emanuela Rossi, Paolo Summaria, Gianfelice Imparato, Mirco Ciorciari, Monica Camporesi. Among these there will also be numerous local interpreters, essential for restoring the spirit and atmosphere of the territory. We will find the singer-songwriter Lino Rufo for example, Costanzo Dragano, symbol of sympathy of Puglia Garganica. Maurizio Varriano, undisputed connoisseur of the two territories, collaborates in the choices of the locations.

15 penalty points for Juventus

Juventus was sentenced to 15 penalty points by the FIGC Court of Appeal for the capital gains case. A penalty that has immediate effect: the bianconeri thus slip from the current 37 points in the standings to 22. From third place to 10th, with the same points as Bologna and Empoli.

The penalty came due to the rigged pluses of Juventus to fix the budgets. The thing that perplexes me is that only Juventus was penalized because in reality the operations also involved the other teams. Furthermore, 9 points were foreseeable and instead 15 penalty points were imposed. As far as Europe is concerned, UEFA still has to deliver its ruling but I hope no more penalties are imposed

Today, January 16, 2023, Matteo Messina Denario, number 1 fugitive in the world of the Mafia, was arrested

When I read the news this morning I jumped out of my chair: the number one fugitive in the world has been arrested. Then with a clear mind, after various reflections but above all after reviewing some important interviews I began to think…

First of all, the arrest seems almost fictional. The mafia fugitive could have been anywhere in the world but they arrested him in the historic center of Palermo, “under the house”.
Messina Denaro had been hospitalized for about a year in a private clinic to treat a tumor and for months the carabinieri had clear interceptions.

Furthermore, in the video of the arrest, shown below, Messina Denaro can be seen being carried by the arm by the carabinieri to the police van without even being handcuffed.

But the most shocking thing is the interview made by Massimo Giletti in November 2022, with Salvatore Baiardo who was once a trusted person of the mafia bosses. Already two months ago Baiardo had hypothesized that Messina Denaro was ill and that his hypothetical arrest could have continued the state-Mafia negotiation that never ended… An apt prophecy in all.

What to say? The farce between the state and the mafia continues…

the crossing of the South Pole by bicycle by Omar Di Felice

Omar Di Felice, 41, is an ultra-cyclist. For years he has been riding his fat bike through the coldest territories in the world, from Iceland to Norway to Lapland. After the 4,000-kilometre crossing in the Arctic at the beginning of 2022, in November the athlete attempted a new feat, which no one else has ever succeeded in: reaching the South Pole in the Antartica unlimited project, to raise awareness, one month before the Cop 27, climate conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, on the state of the most fragile ecosystems, compromised by global warming. Despite the interruption of his ride, due to personal problems, he will not give up “Bike to 1.5°C”, the series of dissemination appointments on climate change in scientific and cultural festivals and in schools, organized together with the scientific partners Italian Climate Network and ESA-European Space Agency.

“Behind my crossings there is the will to explore my limits. Love for the world translates into the discovery of myself and the nature that surrounds me” explains Di Felice. The athlete, who set off on November 27 from Hercules Inlet, Chile. On his bicycle, the graphics of the climate stripes by the climate scientist of the University of Reading, Ed Hawkins. His path should have taken him, after more than 1,200 kilometers to the South Pole and then, after another 600 to the base of the Leverett Glacier on the opposite coast of Antarctica. On December 4, however, on the eighth day of his crossing, Di Felice had to change his plans, due to “serious personal and family problems, which did not allow me to go on”, he explained in a post on Instagram.

Russia has finished testing the POSEIDON torpedo which triggers an atomic (radioactive) tsunami

news of the war follows one another uninterruptedly, even those of atomic weapons… Every day quite unrealistic and contradictory data on the military situation is received, such as those, for example, that Ukraine is about to overturn the war by expelling Russian soldiers. The truth is that the war continues only because the United States is supplying the Ukrainians with a monstrous amount of arsenal never seen in the history of geopolitics … When the United States pulls the plug for Ukraine it will be the end … But not only This… The longer the war lasts, the more Russia will be forced to use a nuclear weapon to end the conflict: this was also reiterated by the Pentagon. Today came the news that Russia has finished testing an atomic torpedo that would be capable of unleashing a radioactive tsunami…

A torpedo which, according to Russian media, is capable of “triggering a 500-metre radioactive tsunami that could wipe out the UK”. The umpteenth showdown of Vladimir Putin in terms of latest generation weapons is called Poseidon which in the past few hours has completed the launch tests from the Russian nuclear submarine Belgorod, as explained by a source from the Ministry of Defense to Tass. “Launching tests of the Poseidon super-torpedo were carried out to evaluate the performance of the submarine at various depths,” the source specified.

For months, NATO has been monitoring the movements of the Belgorod submarine, given that it is the largest and most modern nuclear submarine in Moscow’s fleet. And it is the only one designed to use the Poseidon torpedo, presented by Putin in 2018 as one of the systems that will restore strategic supremacy to Russia. The bomb is capable of traveling under the waves for 10,000 kilometers with the aim of exploding near the coast, generating a nuclear tsunami powerful enough to wipe out cities like New York or Los Angeles.
