arrest a day after an Italian court agreed to hand him over to US authorities who was detained at Milan’s Malpensa airport on an international arrest warrant last October broke his court-ordered electronic bracelet and left his house in Cascina Vione di Basiglio in the province of Milan US prosecutors last year charged Uss and four other Russian citizens with shipping military technology bought from US manufacturers to Russian buyers some of which ended up on the battlefield in Ukraine Investigators said they used a German company to ship the technology Uss is also accused of shipping oil from Venezuela to Russia in breach of sanctions A Milan appeal court said in a statement on Tuesday it had agreed to the extradition of Uss for smuggling oil who could not immediately be reached for comment could have lodged an appeal to Italy’s top court to try to prevent his client from being sent across the Atlantic Italian investigators fear Uss has already left the country the governor of the Siberian region of Krasnoyarsk When Italian police arrived at his apartment to check that he was home Investigators do not rule out the involvement of Russian intelligence in Uss’s escape the man’s lawyers suggested that his arrest and extradition would be aimed at a “prisoner exchange” citing how the US was interested in obtaining from Moscow the release of Paul Whelan an American businessman who in 2020 was sentenced to 16 years in prison in Russia Wanted in MilanMembership Seven out of the first ten of Italy’s over 8,000 comuni with the richest residents are in Lombardy according to authoritative financial and economic daily Il Sole 24 Ore according to the paper’s annual survey of income data is Portofino in the province of Genova (Liguria) with an average personal taxable income of over €50,000 but hard on its heels come Basiglio and Cusago in the province of Milan (Lombardy) in places 2 and 3 Torre d’Isola (Pavia) and Campione d’Italia (Como) at 4 and 5 Segrate and Arese (Milan) at 8 and 9 and Vedano (Monza e Brianza) at position 10 Portofino is Italy's richest commune with an average income of just under €30,000 well ahead of its closest rival among the urban metropolis group can cause spectacular jumps in the position of smaller comuni when one or two super-rich taxpayers move their residence into or out of the town or village shifts in the position in the “championship” tend to be slower as the average income per head of population is evened out by the larger numbers This will probably account for Portofino’s jump from last year’s 10th place to the top of the list very clear that the top places in the list are mostly occupied by small comuni with Milan very much the positive exception right outside Milan and the location of Silvio Berlusconi’s “Milano 3” residential condo not so much because of a slight drop in average income but more because of Portofino’s great leap forward the two poorest comuni are also in Lombardy: Val Rezzo and Cavargna – both in Como province – at around €6,500 average personal taxable income The full details of the survey are published on Il Sole 24 Ore website where you can sort the data by comune or region and consult the average personal incomes as well as the variation over last year The figures are based on the income tax declarations made in 2014 which refer to the income generated

world renowned American opera soprano will sing in a Bermuda National Gallery (BNG) fundraiser this month to thank her old teacher for his encouragement during her college days.Ms Aikin will star in the BNG ‘Art of Music’ event to be held outdoors at Bacardi International on Pitts Bay Road in Pembroke.“Her only connection to Bermuda is through two Garys “Dr Burgess started the opera department at the State University of Buffalo He encouraged her to do something with her voice and finally she caught the bug and has been going strong ever since She is in great demand in the North American and European theatre.”Ms Aikin She is considered a leader among the dynamic sopranos performing today She is known for an arresting stage presence and a range of over three octaves Ms Aikin is a regular guest in the world’s leading opera houses including The Vienna State Opera Bastille Opera in Paris as well as the Metropolitan Opera the Santa Fe Opera and the San Francisco Opera to name but a few she has performed more than 300 times in such major roles as Lulu (Lulu) Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier) and Adele (Die Fledermaus) Miss Aikin has appeared in numerous major concert houses throughout the world with symphony orchestras such as those of London she appeared as Marilyn Monroe in the world premiere of ‘Waiting for Miss Monroe’ for the Netherlands Opera in Amsterdam Critics called her “the soprano who wields the colours of her voice like a vocal Renoir”.“What is interesting about Laura is it is not just the notes she sings but what happens between the notes,” said Mr Phillips “It is about the way she hangs on the notes There is a whole story between one note and another The way she changes the colour and tone of every single note that she sings is absolutely amazing.”Oliver Grant a teacher at the Bermuda School of Music will accompany her on piano Mr Grant studied piano in Madrid Conservatoire and later in Bath Spa University and Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester He has performed worldwide.Mr Phillips said the idea to host a night of opera started when the BNG was brainstorming fundraising ideas At first he wanted to do a barefoot opera night with another well known Canadian opera singer Dr Burgess recommended Ms Aikin.“He said he had just the right person and she was dying to come to Bermuda,” said Mr Phillips “She is very busy and would appreciate some time away to relax She is coming here for about a week and performing this wonderful night of opera songs and arias for us in recognition of her respect for her former teacher.”Tickets will be sold in three tiers said everyone will have a special music experience regardless of where they are seated.“Everyone will be enjoying premium spirits thanks to our partner Bacardi Limited,” she said “Everyone will be enjoying some beautiful desserts The patrons will get a chance to meet Laura which is the most important part of their participation They will have VIP parking underneath Bacardi and get a little bit more of a special experience our patrons are really saying that they really support the BNG as we can really go forward into the next year We are doing quite well at the patron level because Gary (Phillips) is very good at developing relationships with people who have a passion for the arts.”It will not be a full opera but a night of operatic songs and arias There will also be some pleasant surprises during the show.Ms Howie said like a lot of other charities they have been suffering from the downturn in the economy The BNG is hoping this fundraiser and others like it It will also kick off their 2012/2013 annual appeal.“There will be further music nights,” said Ms Howie “The BNG has a history of mixing art and music There is one happening at the end of the Biennial It will be Reinterpreting the Biennial with Music In the new year we will be hosting Japanese pianist Mirei Tsuji as part of our ongoing music presentation from the BNG.”The Art of Music with Laura Aikin will be held on October 20 at Bacardi International on Pitts Bay Road in Pembroke from 7 to 10pm $500 for fellows and $100 for friends and can be purchased at www.bdatix.bm or at the BNG on the Second
