We offer readers the analysis of a magnificent thriller about the turbulence in Brazil at the beginning of the century (Brazilian Psycho)another high above the politics in the southern United States (A just death) and the recovery of … Read more
Dear Aldo, undoubtedly there are families who struggle to make ends meet and do somersaults with dignity, but I can’t understand how the majority of Italians declare incomes of less than 55,000 euros and during the Christmas holidays there can be a full house in the mountains despite the high costs of ski passes, hotels … Read more
Dear Aldo, 24 Slams. Novak Djokovic played an extraordinary US Open final. Dominating, knowing how to suffer in the 2nd set and then spreading in the 3rd set. 6-3 7-6 6-3 to Daniil Medvedev.

Twenty years ago, we created a foundation dedicated to world health because we wanted to use Microsoft’s resources to help as many people as possible. Health is the basis for a prosperous society. It became more evident than ever last year, when the pandemic upset many lives, in Italy and around the world. – Although … Read more
In this column I will take the deviations of fiction: I will comment on a series of authors and books that I have made without any pretense, except, perhaps, to make fun of those authors and their claims. If the title of any of these books resembles a published one or one of the surnames … Read more
Franco Loi is a case of incredible identification. He was born in Genoa in 1930 to a Sardinian father (freight forwarder and then director of a freight yard) and Emilian mother from Colorno (here the article by Cristina Taglietti for 90 years). Having already moved to Milan with his family in 1937, Loi absorbs the … Read more
