    SANREMO “70 + 1” Il Festival 2021, ancora più musica Musica, sempre di più. E con tutte le sfumature proposte dai 26 Campioni in gara, ai quali si aggiungo- no le 8 Nuove Proposte. Il 71° Festival di Sanremo (anzi, il “70 + 1”) firmato dal Direttore Artistico Ama- deus va in scena: cinque appuntamenti, dal 2 al 6 marzo in prima serata su Rai1, Radio2 e RaiPlay, in diretta da un Teatro Ariston completamente trasformato dalla scenografia di Gaetano e Chiara Ca- stelli, mentre la regia – tra tradizione e sperimentazione - è firmata da Stefano Vicario. Ad affiancare Amadeus sul palco dell’Ariston, ci saranno Fiorello, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Achille Lauro, Matilda De An- gelis, Elodie, Vittoria Ceretti, Barbara Palombelli e altri grandi ospiti dal mondo della musica e non solo. Come sempre, i cantanti saranno accompagnati dall’Orchestra del Festival - composta da musicisti professionisti in parte scelti dalla Rai e in parte messi a disposizione dalla Fondazione Orchestra Sin- fonica di Sanremo – e dai coristi. “Io, Fiorello e tutte le persone che lavorano con noi – dice Amadeus - siamo sicuri che sarà un San- remo da ricordare, in un anno tra i più difficili della nostra vita, con la voglia di ripartire e di regalare al pubblico a casa qualcosa di unico. Il Festival di Sanremo ci appartiene, appartiene al costume e alla musica di questo Paese. Anche tra mille difficoltà: ‘La musica non si ferma mai‘. Lo spettacolo sta per iniziare!”. I 26 Campioni parteciperanno ciascuno con una canzone inedita e si esibiranno a gruppi di 13 nella prima e nella seconda serata del Festival.

  • Festivalsabir.It Info: [email protected]
    Festivalsabir.it Info: [email protected] The Sabir Festival is a popular and mobile event providing input for reflection on Mediterranean alternatives in symbolic places of Europe. After the previous four editions held in Lampedusa (1-5 October 2014), Pozzallo (11-15 May 2016) Syracuse (11-14 May 2017) and Palermo (11- 14 October 2018) Sabir takes place this year in Lecce. It is organized by ARCI together with Caritas Italiana, ACLI and CGIL, in cooperation with Asgi, A Buon Diritto and Carta di Roma. The Festival is sponsored by ANCI, the regional administration of Puglia, Unisalento and the local administration of Lecce. After the festivals organized in Lampedusa, Pozzallo, Syracuse and Palermo, Sabir moves to Lecce, another symbolic place in the Mediterranean Basin. During this period from 16 to 19 May it is fitting to reflect on Europe and its role in the Mediterranean. This year’s event will have the same structure as the previous Sabir Festivals comprising international meetings and training sessions, cultural activities, interactive workshops (music and theatre) and book presentations. All these activities will create a dynamic context attracting local people, Italians and foreigners as well. The Festival will see the participation of representatives of the civil society from both sides of the Mediterranean and international networks such as Solidar, Migreurop, EuroMedRights, European Civic Forum, Attac France, TNI, the International Attac network and the Majalat project, enabling us to exchange ideas about the urgent need for a real political, cultural and social alternative in the Mediterranean Basin, calling into question some of the pillars promoted by the institutions of all Europe with a view to controlling and criminalizing immigration, showing no interest for human rights and social justice.

  • Festival Di San Remo, Ultima Fortezza Del Monopolio Della Musica!
    Festival di San Remo, ultima fortezza del monopolio della Musica! Ma com’è possibile che ancor oggi continui ad esistere “il Festival della Canzone Italiana”, detto comunemente “Festival di Sanremo”? Una domanda che mi pongo da anni, dal lontano 1975! Lo storico britannico Eric J.E. Hobsbawm (1917-2012), nel suo celebre volume Age of extremes The short twentieth century, 1914- 1991 (1994) ha definito il secondo dopoguerra in Italia una nuova «età dell’oro», mettendo in evidenza che si trattò di anni di «straordinaria crescita economica e di trasformazione sociale, che probabilmente hanno modificato la società umana più profondamente di qualunque altro periodo di analoga brevità» (trad. it. Il secolo breve, 1995, p. 18). Straordinaria trasformazione sociale che ha favorito pure la nascita del Festival di Sanremo in cui la canzone italiana ha iniziato ad emergere dal sottosuolo e tutto questo è andato pure bene nel decennio 50-60 ma poi avrebbe dovuto arricchirsi, cambiare continuamente, sperimentare, veder crescere nuovi talenti ed invece? Nulla di tutto ciò! Non annoierò il lettore con la lista di presentatori, presentatrici e vallette di turno che si sono avvicendate nel corso delle edizioni del Festival di Sanremo (complici di aver permesso uno scempio artistico di dimensioni apocalittiche; n.d.a.) perché non potrei esimermi dall’avviare una personale controversia su MUSIC in merito a personaggi “limite” come Luciana Littizzetto, diavoletto antipatico, neanche troppo comico, intriso di sarcasmo elitario da “radical chic”; non ritengo infatti la nostra rubrica lo spazio appropriato. Non tedierò nemmeno con la striscia di vincitori del Festival dal 1951 al 2016 ma citerò alcuni artisti che hanno fatto la storia della “Canzonetta” italiana ed altri che risultano dei prodotti “in vitro” dell’industria discografica “mordi e fuggi”.

The location of the centers and infrastructures of such services is a subsequent question (we would say "secondary" if with this adjective is meant not inferiority in importance, but rather a temporal and conceptual subordination). The polycentrism supported here in Rome means, first of all, a theoretical assignation of the potentiality of the catchment area of the Roman system to respective "units" of service that locationally assume the 1 role of realizing the objectives, reasserted by everybody numerous times of: integrating functions, improving accessibility, distances, traveling times, not exceeding the thresholds that have been indicated as "overloading". The locational problem of the new strategy therefore, is posed as a problem of not letting all the users participate in any function in any part of the system (the 2,8 million Roman citizens plus the by now recognized other 700 thousand citizens of the Roman "system"); but to functionally distribute the services in such a way as to not render "indifferent" (but on the contrary very..

  • 'Alternative Nobel' Laureates Call for Climate
    PRESS RELEASE Stockholm, 30 November 2015 ‘Alternative Nobel’ Laureates Call for Climate Leadership and Putting an End to War and Discrimination The 2015 Laureates of the Right Livelihood Award, widely known as the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize’, call for renewed global efforts to tackle the climate crisis, secure the rights of indigenous and LGBTI communities, and put an end to war. The four Laureates receive their awards at a ceremony in the Swedish Parliament in Stockholm today. Tony De Brum, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Republic of the Marshall Islands, who receives this year’s Honorary Award on behalf of his nation, is a leading international voice on the existential threat posed by climate change to the Marshall Islands and other low-lying atoll nations, and the benefits of an accelerated transition to a low-carbon economy. “I never imagined years ago when I was at the United Nations fighting for my country’s independence that I would be back, decades later, fighting for a new agreement to avert a new crisis that once again threatens the survival of my country. Lying just two meters above sea level in the vast blue expanse of the Pacific, we are literally at the mercy of the rising waves and the wicked storms that are the symptoms of our warming world”, he said. Sheila Watt-Cloutier, Canadian Inuit leader, stressed the life-changing impacts of climate change on indigenous communities. “In the Arctic we may be far from the world’s corridors of power, but the hunter who falls through the thinning sea ice in the Arctic is connected to industries of the ‘south’, the rising waters and stronger hurricanes which threaten the United States, to melting glaciers in the Andes and the Himalayas, to the flooding of low-lying and small island states.

  • Uef-Spinelli Group
    UEF-SPINELLI GROUP MANIFESTO 9 MAY 2021 At watershed moments in history, communities need to adapt their institutions to avoid sliding into irreversible decline, thus equipping themselves to govern new circumstances. After the end of the Cold War the European Union, with the creation of the monetary Union, took a first crucial step towards adapting its institutions; but it was unable to agree on a true fiscal and social policy for the Euro. Later, the Lisbon Treaty strengthened the legislative role of the European Parliament, but again failed to create a strong economic and political union in order to complete the Euro. Resulting from that, the EU was not equipped to react effectively to the first major challenges and crises of the XXI century: the financial crash of 2008, the migration flows of 2015- 2016, the rise of national populism, and the 2016 Brexit referendum. This failure also resulted in a strengthening of the role of national governments — as shown, for example, by the current excessive concentration of power within the European Council, whose actions are blocked by opposing national vetoes —, and in the EU’s chronic inability to develop a common foreign policy capable of promoting Europe’s common strategic interests. Now, however, the tune has changed. In the face of an unprecedented public health crisis and the corresponding collapse of its economies, Europe has reacted with unity and resolve, indicating the way forward for the future of European integration: it laid the foundations by starting with an unprecedented common vaccination strategy, for a “Europe of Health”, and unveiled a recovery plan which will be financed by shared borrowing and repaid by revenue from new EU taxes levied on the digital and financial giants and on polluting industries.
