La storia di poveri pescatori in lotta col mare e con la gente del proprio paese, ne I Malavoglia si racconta di un «mare amaro», infido e avaro: Padron 'Ntoni e la sua famiglia, a causa di un naufragio che travolge la piccola barca e con essa il commercio dei lupini, sono costretti a un debito che porterà con sé altre calamità, segnando un lento ma inesorabile declino fatto di lutti, umiliazioni e sacrifici quotidiani, in cui il destino sembra accanirsi contro ogni tentativo di riscatto. Un grande classico della letteratura verista narrato dalla voce di Letizia Lucchini.

Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778 – 1823) was an Italian explorer and pioneer archaeologist of Egyptian antiquities. He is known for his removal to England of the seven ton bust of Ramesses II, the clearing of sand from the entrance of the great temple at Abu Simbel, the discovery and documentation of the tomb of Seti I, and the first to penetrate into the second pyramid of Giza.

The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio's answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante's Divine Comedy.

The Decameron, subtitled Prencipe Galeotto, is a captivating collection of 100 novellas by the renowned Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio. Likely begun in 1350 and completed by 1353, this medieval masterpiece is celebrated for its rich tapestry of love stories that range from the erotic to the tragic. Its influence is undeniable, with many great writers, including Shakespeare and Chaucer, drawing inspiration from its bawdy and thought-provoking tales. (from Wikipedia)

In this engaging account, renowned neuroscientist Giovanni Frazzetto blends cutting-edge scientific research with personal stories to reveal how our brains generate our emotions. He demonstrates that while modern science has expanded our knowledge, investigating art, literature, and philosophy is equally crucial to unraveling the brain’s secrets.

Futurologist Luna Lee presents possibilities for the future of medicine in the next 100 years.

«Il futuro non è più quello di una volta», diceva Paul Valéry. E oggi più che mai, nel mondo dopo la pandemia, è diventato necessario ripensare al domani che ci aspetta. Ma in uno scenario che appare catastrofico e che impone di essere riconsiderato in tutto e per tutto, la prospettiva ambientale potrebbe essere l’unica risposta adeguata per fronteggiare le sfide che il presente ci pone. Siglare un nuovo Patto Atlantico delle democrazie aiuterebbe non solo a sconfiggere il virus, ma anche a ricostruire l’economia e proteggere il clima; sarebbe un tentativo per rendere concreta una solidarietà soltanto proclamata.

Back in 2010, I was closeted at a private Christian university and convinced God hated me for being gay. So I kept a journal. In this show, I read those religiously coded + sexually frustrated entries alongside your confessions, then ask AI & friendly humans for unwarranted advice. It borrows from therapy. Teases faith.

Qualcuno ha usato un martello.Qualcun altro ha utilizzato l’acido.Altri le mani nude. Altri ancora delle armi da taglio.Tutti hanno avuto un solo obiettivo: distruggere opere d’arte. Dentro e fuori i musei.L’arte, insomma, può essere ferita, oltraggiata, distrutta.

The streets that he and his many siblings played on were perfumed with jasmine. A precocious child, he excelled at school and had a natural gift for languages.
