Esiste una piccola bottega dove il tempo si è fermato. Un tempo senza tempo che permette a una artigiana e ai suoi gioielli di prendere una forma inaspettata che non sia standardizzata dall'uniformità imposta dai prodotti venduti sul web. E poi esiste chi dell'e-commerce ha fatto la sua strada maestra, nella poetica creazione di libri per bambini. E una valigia rossa in tutto questo racconto cosa c'entra?

This is the story of two single-handed non-stop round-the-world voyages: Robin Knox-Johnston's in 1968/69 and Ellen MacArthur's in 2004/05.

These gave MacArthur the opportunity for a considerably faster voyage, but that ...

Sfruttando le vecchie regole della nomenklatura, ha la capacità di trasformare in attività lecite tutto il malaffare: ha già invaso Europa e Stati Uniti. Possiede un vero esercito: centomila uomini attraverso seimila gruppi criminali (solo in Italia ne sono attivi sessanta) ma è quasi invisibile perché riper...

Era stata pensata per il Giubileo del 2000. Quindici anni dopo, durante quello straordinario indetto da Papa Francesco, la Metro C di Roma è completa appena per metà. La promessa di viaggiare in pochi minuti dalla periferia di Tor Bella Monaca e Pantano al centro dei Fori Imperiali, si è incagliata nei ritardi progettuali, nei costi aumentati a dismisura, nelle pastoie delle inchieste contabili. A tutto danno dei cittadini contribuenti. Il nostro viaggio nel più grande cantiere pubblico d’...
