Flea Bites And Scabies

E 'was published the important book dedicated to the restoration of the Casa del fascio in Caserta, in the central Market Square (old), with the title: Raffaele Cutillo - Luigi Spina, former House of Beam Caserta, a chronicle of a construction site in progress , Electa, 2008. And indeed, this is the documentation of the phases of the restoration step by step, with a series of beautiful pictures, both black and white or color. These photographs document the state of the building before restoration, after restoration - the restoration was being completed on April 28 this year - as also the central area in which that building stands.

The work is very interesting, because it does make some significant considerations current architecture, or, rather, on ' anti-architecture of the present age. In fact, this building stands out as a building that has a style in a market place of our own, characterized by the absence of a style, as the sheer quantity of housing construction and filling of space, without "mark it" in any way. The final epoch of modernity, thus, has succeeded in what no civilization had ever done: build something completely meaningless, worthless, not "marks" the landscape, but it is only the projection of an economic relationship between quantitative a holder of capital, that capital invested, and a or more buyers, and buyers that these are public or private does not change the anti-sense of the "architecture". The House of beam, however, has a style that can like it or not. And the style is always the externalization of an ideology, an ideology "silent" so much more meaningful to express an ideology, and so much more pervasive.

Each civilization, building, tells us who and what it is. The current anti-civilization tells the world that only has the exchange relationship, the meaning, the meaning they have no place called "civilization." We live in a vacuum, where we have many micro-separate atoms. In the absence of sense here is that each claim in a loud voice the sense, that is smeared on the walls or on the web is, "shoot" at times great just to get attention. This means that the world, after all, is alive, and needs a sense of direction, a direction, a "something" eventually, but it is looking around, then he dreams. Dreams the lost meaning. The sense, unique, that nihilism, which is not the absence of meaning but the variety of ways but none of them being "The" way, you need to survive Despite everything, but that can not be satisfied because ordinary people lack the necessary culture to do this and intellectual classes both in the Church do not know re-write what has been lost. This reminds me of Adorno said: "The envy of the gods survives the gods." But back to the architectural issues. Looking at the House the beam immediately reminded of the Eur in Rome: in fact, that's the style, the latest style of the first "living machines" to after the war, the 'anti -style mega-structures - the "syndrome of the airport" I call it - without evidence and without meaning, that can do anywhere, uniform number, uniformizzanti, from Chicago to Papua (Papua New Guinea), from Singapore to New York from London to Borneo, Brazil, South Africa and in the polar areas. The only difference is what you want to invest money. It does not matter anything else, really.

not me talking but important architects, Eur was the last time in Italy, where we have seen an architecture, a style. This has nothing to do with the glorification of fascism , because the "Thirties style" of the last century was conceived as reaffirmation of the state against the forces, then already prevalent, the market forces that have won - and finally - the last of the last century, only to be utterly incapable of manage their own success, and we are where we are. In Germany, there was the same style, although, as always, love the German megalomania. In Russia it has the same style, affected by Stalinism. In short, and is an important point, that style "Thirties independent from the different ideologies, but focuses on the reaffirmation of the state, what it is, then, the ideology of reference for its reaffirmation, ideology proletarian nationalism. This leads, therefore, such vast urban plans, squares, wide roads, the exact opposite of today !, Neoclassical style buildings, but reworked with the modern neo-classicism. Among other things, there is even a tendency to a return to symbolism, as hidden, for example, has been shown that there are symbolic in the Lenin Mausoleum in Red Square in Moscow. Look the House of the beam and then all the other modern buildings of the Market Square: It is the only building that means something, the rest are "living machines", to meet the need, instinctive and animal, human to have a home, a refuge, a "den."

And that sense this effect to happen, I repeat, has nothing to do with the glorification of past ideologies but instead us to understand what kind of architecture we abyss plunged, particularly in Italy, particularly in the South and Caserta is an example of that darkness Preclaro sum, unrepentant, filthy, boring and tasteless, in a world where the most vulgar mediocrity reigns supreme as a poisonous spider, all infected with his mental sewage.

Belly Buton Sharp Pain Penis



latest issue of the magazine, historical, "Gambero Rosso" (16 years, No. 202, November 2008), there is the first of the new editorial director, changed after a good twenty years. This is a change that "was in the air", for many reasons, not least the problems that have occurred both in the issuer Gambero Rosso in other assets in which the original journal has been widening.

In my opinion, the real problem was that they wanted "to bite off more than you can chew," bogged down in too many activities, and not staying focused on the magazine and reference assets (Not least "The City of taste", which has offices in Rome and Naples). But there's more behind, because, Having ever review that journal on the head, whose name has been changed, "Il Giornale di Caserta", it became clear that there was a rift between the two groups and two orientations. The first suggested it was usual to continue the magazine, only restructuring activities complement each other of politicizing more and more, along with discourse on the earth and the Slow Food Pinin Farina. The restructuring had to do it sooner than expected, thanks to the current crisis, but it seems, even to read the new Editorial Director (Daniel Cernilli), who have won the first approach, because Cernilli says that "Gambero Rosso", as revised, will continue as before - but the rest will change - and that the magazine has gathered a wealth of expertise and columns on which to continue bet. In short: security in times of crisis, any form of adventure. But there's more behind

: should really be able to make a broader discourse on these issues, the underlying trends in Italian cuisine and how it has or is reacting to globalization that combines the flavors and hybrid (there will be Perhaps the occasion). To present the issue, remember, ibid page. 14, there is a short but interesting article, entitled "Cooking neo-protectionism". While waiting for the moment treat more extensively the issue will be discussed at time of the November issue, devoted above all, as is customary, to the wines. This is a profound change in the market, and which trends are better understood in the months to come. For now, just remember that the U.S. engine misfires here, but, and is the point, the so-called "emerging markets" do not seem in any way, able to take his place, at least at the moment, and are limited only to replace part of the role. Coming, without further ado, the wine, this is the famous "Three Glasses" data from the "Gambero Rosso", the "Three Glasses" for next year. Which brings us to what interests us more, the role of Campania. List them all: "Terre del Principe Ambruco '06. Marisa Cuomo Costa d'Amalfi Fior d'Uva '07. Villa Matilde Falerno Massico Camarato of '04. Colli di Lapio Fiano d'Avellino '07. Fortress of the Prince Fiano d'Avellino '07. Villa Diamond Fiano d'Avellino Vigna Congregation of '06. Tenuta Adolfo Gladius Sword '06. Pietracupa Greek di Tufo '07. Feudi di San Gregorio di Tufo Greek exacerbations '07. Greek di Tufo Mastroberardino Novaserra '07. Montevetrano Montevetrano '06. Cantina del Bue Apis Taburno Taburno Aglianico '04. Districts of Taurasi Taurasi '04. Mastroberardino Taurasi 'Naturalis Historia' '04. Salvatore Molettieri Taurasi Vigna Cinque Oaks '04. Galardi Terra di Lavoro '06 "(ibid., p. 46). All bottles of merit, but I want to emphasize the presence of three producers in the province of Caserta, Terre del Principe, Villa Matilde and Galardi. Among other things, the Aglianico di Villa Matilde, not to mention the excellent Falanghina, Aglianico last year (2007), has placed among the hundred best wines in the world and the cellar of the Villa Matilde was awarded the prize Cellar Year (for Italy) given to her from "Wine Spirits", a prestigious magazine (online: http://www.wineandspiritsmagazine.com/). In addition, the Galardi Terra di Lavoro - Aglianico and Falernian - has been judged among the ten best wines in the world for the Terra di Lavoro 2005, the previous edition in 2006, reviewed by "Gambero Rosso".

Another notation. Among the "greedy routes" which, in each issue, the magazine presented and reviewed, this time there is "Lazio secret," and speaks of the transhumance of sheep that is the beautiful Maremma cows of northern Lazio. Apart from Viterbo and a place that has always struck me, Allumiere, where the Palio is well, but Donkeys, on the Tolfa mountains, the scene of a mini-gold rush years ago, I reviewed (ibid., p. 202 et seq.) of places that, in fact, were part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Province Caserta, as the farm of white kid, loc. Sant'Angelo in Theodice, via spindle 5, Cassino, and the Marzolina, loc. Maranola, via San Luca 10, Formia, at the foot of the Regional Park of Aurunca, both specialized in "marzoline. "The Marzolina is a cheese that comes with a cylindrical shape, small size, salty taste, fresh or aged (up to even 1 year). It can be flavored with herbs in oil bath (at the time of sale) or preserved flavored olive oil "(ibid., p. 196). In Frosinone, however, climate change and the sheep to be protagonists, such as Pecorino Picinasco, a native of your town Picinasco (Fr) (www.casalawrence.it), or goat cheese, as in Settefrati (Fr ), a San Maurizio, Via Colle Pizzuto (call before visiting).
