Gruppo Lombardo Giornalisti Sportivi INVITO (valido per due persone) 30 novembre 2009 - ore 18 Centro Eventi Campari viale Gramsci 141 - Sesto San Giovanni PREMIO NAZIONALE SPORT-CULTURA-PROFESSIONI-SOLIDARIETA’ Lunedì 30 novembre 2009 alle ore 18 presso il Centro Eventi Campari, viale Gramsci 141 a Sesto San Giovanni, saranno consegnati gli annuali riconoscimenti del Premio Nazionale «La Torretta», giunto alla sua trentaseiesima edizione. Il Premio, presieduto da Bruno Pizzul, si avvale del contributo dell’Amministrazione Comunale e dell’appassionato impegno dei componenti il Comitato Promotore, i quali comprendono prestigiosi nomi di aziende, imprenditori, commercianti e professionisti. Obiettivo del premio non è solo quello di offrire un riconoscimento ai campioni dello sport, ma anche quello di evidenziare il troppo spesso oscuro lavoro di quegli atleti che, pur non praticando una disciplina sportiva popolare, hanno dedicato la loro vita e il loro entusiasmo agli sport minori, nobilitandone il ruolo e favorendone la diffusione. Il «Torretta» non si ferma allo sport perché premia, inoltre, persone che si sono distinte nella cultura, nelle professioni, nella solidarietà, per la qualità, la creatività, la capacità innovativa, l’umanità e il senso civico della loro opera. Anche per questo la manifestazione ha avuto ampi riconoscimenti a tutti i livelli istituzionali, a partire dalla Presidenza della Repubblica. Nell’ambito della manifestazione verrà assegnato il Trofeo «Atleta dell’Anno», in collaborazione con Telelombardia, Antenna 3.

  • Bandiera.Biancazzurra
    Bandiera Biancazzurra Il racconto dei Cento anni dell'Associazione Calcio Prato Questa storia del Prato, con rispetto parlando, è stata scritta in virtuale ed emotiva collaborazione con Giancarlo Tatti. Alcuni spunti sono stati raccolti qua e là come fossero petali di fiori che la penna felice di Roberto Baldi su carta dipinse. Il resto è memoria, lettura, chilometri, fantasia, schegge di legno infilate nei pantaloni, chiacchiere e visita di luoghi immaginari nelle pieghe del sogno, nelle pagine ingiallite e nell'immaterialità. E adesso, come legge comanda, rituali raccomandazioni per l'inclito e per il volgo: La proprietà letteraria della seguente opera è riservata, sia chiaro fin dall'inizio. Ne è vietata la riproduzione, anche di semplici brani (figuriamoci di quelli più difficili) con qualsiasi mezzo (audiovisivi, televisione, teatro, fotocopia, discorsi da bar e nessun altro escluso) e per qualsiasi finalità senza l'autorizzazione scritta dell'autore. E in ogni caso basta chiederla. Progetto narrativo e grafico, nonché composizione e impaginazione sono vanto e al tempo stesso colpa dell'autore. Il quale sentitamente ringrazia anche solo per essere arrivati fino a questo punto della lettura. Francesco Magnini “…I fatti non penetrano nel regno dove vivono le nostre fedi: non le hanno generate, né le distruggono; potranno infliggere loro le più costanti smentite, senza affievolirle, e una valanga di sventure o di malattie che si succedano senza interruzione in una famiglia non la indurrà a dubitare della bontà del suo Dio, né della valentia del suo medico…” (da: “Alla ricerca del tempo perduto” di Marcel Proust, sicuramente tifoso del Prato). Bandiera Biancazzurra è un’idea di Francesco Magnini Messa su carta nell’anno del centenario della sua squadra Mentre nessuno ci pensava nemmeno lontanamente a celebrare il secolo di vita dell’A.C.

    Football in France Global Sport Cultures Eds Gary Armstrong, Brunel University, Richard Giulianotti, University of Aberdeen, and David Andrews, The University of Maryland From the Olympics and the World Cup to extreme sports and kabaddi, the social significance of sport at both global and local levels has become increasingly clear in recent years. The contested nature of identity is widely addressed in the social sciences, but sport as a particularly revealing site of such contestation, in both industrialising and post-industrial nations, has been less fruitfully explored. Further, sport and sporting corporations are increasingly powerful players in the world economy. Sport is now central to the social and technological development of mass media, notably in telecommunications and digital television. It is also a crucial medium through which specific populations and political elites communicate and interact with each other on a global stage. Berg publishers are pleased to announce a new book series that will examine and evaluate the role of sport in the contemporary world. Truly global in scope, the series seeks to adopt a grounded, constructively critical stance towards prior work within sport studies and to answer such questions as: • How are sports experienced and practised at the everyday level within local settings? • How do specific cultures construct and negotiate forms of social stratification (such as gender, class, ethnicity) within sporting contexts? • What is the impact of mediation and corporate globalisation upon local sports cultures? Determinedly interdisciplinary, the series will nevertheless privilege anthropological, historical and sociological approaches, but will consider submissions from cultural studies, economics, geography, human kinetics, international relations, law, philosophy and political science.

  • Quando Boninsegna Divenne “Bonimba”
    Quando Boninsegna divenne “Bonimba” Il 2 maggio 1971, esattamente cinquant’anni fa, Roberto Boninsegna diventava “Bonimba”. Con un goal in acrobatica rovesciata, tuttora tra i più cliccati su Youtube e tuttora oggetto di tentativi di emulazione da parte di tutti i ragazzini italiani nei più sperduti campetti di calcio, questo fortissimo centravanti di sfondamento entrava nella sfera della leggenda del Dio Eupalla. Quella rovesciata, infatti, stimolò la fantasia del più grande creatore di neologismi calcistici, Gianni Brera, che coniò per lui questo nome che evocava una potenza calcisticamente metafisica. Bonimba: una parola che riprendeva sì, il nome del giocatore, ma anche riusciva a trasmettere l’idea della potenza esplosiva e pure quella di un oggetto elastico in grado di elevarsi in cielo. Brera aveva in passato già coniato epiteti e nomignoli per altri calciatori: a Gianni Rivera accollò la definizione di “abatino”, mentre Gigi Riva era Rombo di Tuono. Ma Bonimba era un vero e proprio neologismo di straordinaria efficacia. Tutt’oggi se si scrive su un motore di ricerca sul Web la parola “Bonimba”, viene automaticamente generata anche la parola “rovesciata”. Non la rovesciata in generale, ma quella rovesciata, del 2 maggio 1971. ytali è una rivista indipendente.
