Sabaudia is a small town located on the coast of the province of Latina, south of Rome. Nearby there are also lakes that make it very humid, but on the other hand they are quite uncontaminated. I visited it on a sunny day in early October, when the cold is still not coming.

Marina di Latina (Lazio) – PHOTO – October 2021
The coast of Latina is very beautiful. It is almost uncontaminated and the road passes near the sea, being able to witness a breathtaking landscape: on one side the sea and on the other side the mountains and lakes. This area once did not exist, that is, it was completely marshy: it was reclaimed in the early 1900s by Benito Mussoloni. Over the course of history this land has been reclaimed several times, but without success because the area collects all the waters of the surrounding mountains and does not flow water towards the sea. Paradoxically, only with Fascism has it been possible to restore these areas.

Neptune is the name of an ancient Roman divinity of the sea. Then it was used to name the planet of the solar system. Neptune is also a pretty Roman town in the southern part of the province. I visited it in October, in a climate that seemed vaguely autumnal, but rather late in the summer … The town’s beaches are wide, and many buildings overlook the sea. The city is almost attached to another famous city: Anzio. The beaches allowed me to take a lot of photos as well as videos … The port is large, not very large. The city is one of the most popular destinations after Ostia (the only real beach in the municipality of Rome).
Italy 2-1 Belgium: the Italians win the final for third place in the Nation League. Tonight the Spain-France final
Italy got off to a strong start with the acceleration of Chiesa, who tried the shot twice within 120 seconds. The first real chance, however, is for Belgium, at the feet of Saelemaekers: Batshuayi’s side and shot from inside the area that displaces Donnarumma and is printed on the crossbar. The pace remains high and – at the end of the first half – the Azzurri are very close to the advantage: Chiesa is all alone in front of Courtois (after the excellent launch by Berardi) and takes a safe shot, but the Real goalkeeper performs a miracle with your feet and sends the ball for a corner. Mancini shocked him during the break and two minutes after the return came Barella’s wonderful goal. The Inter midfielder throws a flying ‘bomb’ from the edge of the area, which bags into the low corner behind Courtois. Italy insists and doubles with rigor, procured by the Church, transformed (with the thrill) by Berardi. Belgium reacts and after two posts reopens the match with a goal from De Ketelaere, but fails to catch the Azzurri.
Italia (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Acerbi, Emerson Palmieri; Locatelli, Pellegrini, Barella; Berardi, Raspadori, Chiesa. Allenatore: Mancini.
Belgio (3-4-2-1): Courtois; Alderweireld, Denayer, Vertonghen; Saelemaekers, Witsel, Tielemans, Castagne; Vanaken, Carrasco; Batshuayi. Allenatore: Martinez.
The singular case of the world: The vaccination regime in Italy …
At the moment in Italy there are 49 million inhabitants (crica) who have completed the vaccination cycle with the two doses which corresponds to 79.38% of the population over 12. A percentage certainly not low but not high, considering that in Italy it was imposed the mandatory vaccine. Or rather, the mandatory green pass has been imposed as a ploy to encourage people to vaccinate. In reality, however, this incentive is an obligation because the green pass acquired with the swab in practice cannot be applied every day, both for an economic and practical reason.
Who does not have the green pass is suspended from work.
At the moment the only two countries that have adopted this policy are Italy and Saudi Arabia.
Understanding why it has come to this point is complex to explain it in two lines, but surely there are some reasons, albeit not very relevant: Italy still has a high number of daily deaths and moreover the places in intensive care are not as numerous as those of others European countries such as Germany or France.
What is surprising, however, is not only the measure imposed in Italy, but also the communication with which the measures are adopted.
In September, this obligation popped up overnight as if nothing had happened and the newspapers made no criticism. Moreover, since the appointment of Draghi as premier, no newspaper has dared to give a more heated criticism. And so the Italians, in addition to some vulgar criticism of this obligation, resigned themselves to a country with less and less freedom. Obviously the obligation of the green pass will avoid any lockdowns that could regress an economy already sunk for years, but the obligation is something that overrides any right and freedom.
The discomfort is that those who fight against this obligation are those who violently protest in the streets, and those who calmly defend the idea of no-vax are no longer believed.
Mario Draghi took office since February 2021, when the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, proposed him to the chambers of parliament, which in the previous weeks had discouraged Giuseppe Conte, who despite his less noble name and curriculum, has brought results in Italy never seen before: laws against corruption, citizenship income, pre-retirement etc …

Guido piano
Tanto non voglio arrivare
E se si stacca pure il freno, capirai
Sotto il cielo di settembre
Quello che ti piace a te
Per andare via di corsa nel weekend
Le foglie, la strada
Due moto che mi fanno I fari
Una casina sul fiume
Con gli amici in barca
Sulle bici
Ti sei presa le stelle
Le notti che giro e non dormo
I sogni che faccio di giorno
Le parole che ti ho scritto
E già che ci sei
Allora prenditi pure ‘sta canzone
Mentre bevo una Coca all’autogrill
Col volume a cannone per restare sveglio
E un po’ di hangover per sentirmi meglio
E non dirmi davvero che ti risveglierai un lunedì
Senza un casino nel petto, un casino nel letto
L’ultimo pacchetto e poi magari smetto
O magari no
Vorrei solo distrarmi un po’
Perdermi in un disco pop
Sì, perdermi senza senso
In un ballo che si muove lento
Le foglie, la strada
Tua madre che si è fatta male
Ti sei presa le stelle
Le notti, allora tanto vale
Allora prenditi pure ‘sta canzone
Mentre bevo una Coca all’autogrill
Col volume a cannone per restare sveglio
E un po’ di hangover per sentirmi meglio
E non dirmi davvero che ti risveglierai un lunedì
Senza un casino nel petto, un casino nel letto
L’ultimo pacchetto e poi magari smetto
O magari no
Magari è solo brutto tempo
O magari no
Magari è solo brutto tempo
Allora prenditi pure ‘sta canzone
Mentre bevo una Coca all’autogrill
Col volume a cannone per restare sveglio
E un po’ di hangover per sentirmi meglio
E non dirmi davvero che ti risveglierai un lunedì
Senza un casino nel petto, un casino nel letto
L’ultimo pacchetto e poi magari smetto
O magari no
Magari è solo brutto tempo
O magari no
Magari è solo brutto tempo
Tanto domani il sole arriverà
Tanto domani il sole arriverà
⚽ 📺 11th June: Today the European Soccer 202(1) begins
Today the European Football Championships begin, which should have been played the previous year, but which instead, due to the covid, are held postponed by one year. Europeans are the most important event after the World Cup (at least for Europe) of course. Today the first noteworthy match is that of Italy that will face Turkey. Italy is among the strongest teams but not the one among the favorites to win the final. The favorite teams are France, England and Germany
♬ Colapesce, DiMartino – Musica leggerissima
TESTO (Lyric)
Se fosse un’orchestra a parlare per noi
Sarebbe più facile cantarsi un addio
Diventare adulti sarebbe un crescendo
Di violini e guai
I tamburi annunciano un temporale
Il maestro è andato via
Metti un po’ di musica leggera
Perché ho voglia di niente
Anzi leggerissima
Parole senza mistero
Allegre ma non troppo
Metti un po’ di musica leggera
Nel silenzio assordante
Per non cadere dentro al buco nero
Che sta ad un passo da noi, da noi
Più o meno
Se bastasse un concerto per far nascere un fiore
Tra i palazzi distrutti dalle bombe nemiche
Nel nome di un Dio
Che non viene fuori col temporale
Il maestro è andato via
Metti un po’ di musica leggera
Perché ho voglia di niente
Anzi leggerissima
Parole senza mistero
Allegre ma non troppo
Metti un po’ di musica leggera
Nel silenzio assordante
Per non cadere dentro al buco nero
Che sta ad un passo da noi, da noi
Più o meno
Rimane in sottofondo
Dentro ai supermercati
La cantano i soldati
I figli alcolizzati
I preti progressisti
La senti nei quartieri
Assolati
Che rimbomba leggera
Si annida nei pensieri
In palestra
Tiene in piedi una festa
Anche di merda
Ripensi alla tua vita
Alle cose che hai lasciato
Cadere nello spazio
Della tua indifferenza
Animale
Metti un po’ di musica leggera
Perché ho voglia di niente
Anzi leggerissima
Parole senza mistero
Allegre ma non troppo
Metti un po’ di musica leggera
Nel silenzio assordante
Per non cadere dentro al buco nero
Che sta ad un passo da noi, da noi
Più o meno
