vulcanized rubber track being produced at a factory in northern Italy will be run on by the world’s fastest athletes at the Paris Olympics After three world records and 12 Olympic marks were set on the track in Tokyo three years ago expect more records to fall at the Stade de France the company that has provided the track at every Summer Games since Montreal in 1976 went back to the drawing board after Tokyo With the help of athlete feedback and extensive testing new generation granules that are more elastic and cohesive are being used to produce the upper layer of rubber for the Paris track Multiple algorithms were explored before finding a more optimal shape and dimension for the air cells inside the track which have been designed to minimize energy loss and enhance performance the innovations are meant to enable Olympians to run faster “The athletes will find this track to be more reactive and better suited for their competition,” Maurizio Stroppiana said during a press tour at the company’s factory in Alba Produced in portions over two days this week and then rolled up for transport to France the track will be installed at the Stade de France next week It will mark the third time that Mondo has installed a new track at the Stade de France which hosted the athletics world championships in 2003 “It’s laid on the asphalt base and it’s glued in place,” Stroppiana said We’re going to work 24 hours and overnight because of the limited time available and the weather.” Another novelty for Paris is the color of the track which will be purple for the first time at an Olympics “The color was a courageous decision of the local organizing committee,” Stroppiana said It sort of recalls the landscape of France.” A three-hour drive across the country is the headquarters of another Italian company and supplier for big-time Olympic sports For the swimming races at La Defense Arena Myrtha is installing two temporary pools inside the rugby stadium — one for competition and one for warmups and training Stainless steel modules being produced at the Myrtha factory in Castiglione delle Stiviere near Verona will be transported to France and bolted together to form the pool walls and floors “(Building temporary pools) is a big advantage because this allows us to reinstall the pools after the event,” Myrtha CEO Roberto Colletto said the pools used at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 — when six world records were set in swimming — were reused for the world championships in Fukuoka last year and reinstalled again at local schools in Japan water treatment has added significance for Olympic pools “Transparency of water is very important because of the underwater (TV) cameras they need extreme transparency,” Colletto said “In order to achieve this we have developed a specific filtration and water treatment system And we also have a variable speed bump system that will accelerate or reduce the speed of the water depending on the competition mode or non-competition mode.” There's also a new system designed to reduce the effects of chlorine in the water and the air that will be implemented for Paris So how much water does it take to fill an Olympic pool which can range from two to three meters for swimming between 2.5 and 4 million liters of water are needed “So there’s a lot of water," Colletto said "that needs to be poured into these pools."

photographer and editor Mauro D’Agati’s immersion  in the psychiatric prisons of Napoli A few years later these judicial psychiatric hospitals closed an event that marks the history of the health care reform and custody system for people with mental illness in Italy starting with the Italian Mental Health Act of 1978 Back then I was working on a project about Italian prisons in general and I asked for access to visit these special sections During the course of one year I entered about 18 prisons in different regions of Italy and among them there were 4 psychiatric prisons I had a very strong drive to do this project My primary motivation was to explore something hidden to most people my personal sentimental situation at that time was not so good so it was a way to metaphorically cure myself As you can imagine it was far from easy to gain access to these places which are usually extremely sheltered institutions who at the time was Chief of Italian prisons and previously had been an important anti-mafia judge I met him in Palermo many times and he was a passionate supporter of my work.  These prisoners were people who committed various crimes and were judged dysfunctional and mentally ill Oftentimes while imprisoned they became problematic or dangerous to others and were sent to the 6 special sections named OPG – “ospedale psichiatrico giudiziario”.  I was able to photograph and was interested in visual representation of their condition but didn’t ask much about their stories what crimes they committed or which illness they suffered from It was already sort of a miracle that I was allowed to be there and take photos especially considering that at the beginning I received a letter of permission stating that I couldn’t take photos of their faces or any recognizable body parts When I arrived there and started working no one objected or asked anything so I had the freedom to point my camera anywhere I wanted.  Some asked me to help them get out of prison or to inform society about their bad life conditions there or were under medical drugs so that they did not understand what happened They just accepted me to stay with them with the camera and never turned aside or hid their faces Nothing happened to me but in front of my eyes I saw many peculiar stories Giving him coke was the only way to convince him to take a shower or to eat Looking back to my personal motivation to enter this world seeing what people experience there and what problems they have reminded me that a romantic heartbreak is not such a big deal.  It was published 20 years after the photographs were shot which brought a large reform of the psychiatric system in Italy containing directives to close all psychiatric hospitals and leading to their gradual replacement with a whole range of community-based services at the beginning it didn’t affect the criminal psychiatric hospitals What critics say now is that actually the same infrastructure remained in place After I shot this work I never had a chance O.P.G.

time 29 seconds clear of anyone else Ganna’s time of 35:02 – set at an average speed of 53.453kph on the 31.2km course to Desenzano del Garda – beat Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) into second place while a stellar ride from Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers) saw him place third with a time of 36:09 to shoot up four places in the standings to sixth overall Arensman’s teammate Geraint Thomas was another big winner on the day gaining time from the start on podium rival Dani Martínez (Bora-Hansgrohe) to move ahead into second place with a time of 36:16 Thomas now lies 3:41 down on Pogačar before the Giro heads back to the high mountains on Sunday though both he and his team can come away from the day happy celebrating the 25th time trial victory of Ganna’s career and a 1-3-4 finish on the stage “Today I suffered a lot,” Ganna said after his victory “I was just speaking with Jonathan Milan – for him and then you know immediately if you win or not.  a little bit blocked with emotions because to win in Italy after a lot of time without a win is a really intense moment it’s like a second home for me,” he concluded before breaking up with emotion “It’s nice to be here and to also see G [Thomas] arrive really well for the GC tomorrow it’s a really intense day and we need to fight with the heart and with the head.” riding in the Italian colours as national time trial champion rode a near-peerless performance to lead at both checkpoints on the 31.2km course though Pogačar sped through to beat him by four seconds at the first flat roads north towards Lake Garda following that early checkpoint putting the power down and increasing his average speed to almost 52kph at the second checkpoint his four-second deficit to Pogačar turned into a 10-second advantage one that would only increase on the final run to Desenzano del Garda He’d beat the race leader to earn his first win since the mid-race time trial at the Vuelta a España last September The time trial brings no change at the very top of the overall standings with Pogačar still in pink and reigning supreme after 50 hours and nine seconds of racing Thomas now lies second overall at 3:41 down while Martínez is now third overall at 3:56 39 seconds up on fourth-placed Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) holds his place at 5:17 down while Arensman is up four places to sixth at 6:30 down After a run of days for the sprinters and breakaway hopefuls the Giro d’Italia returned to GC mode on Saturday for stage 14 and its second and final time trial – a 31.2km test against the clock in Lombardy The stage would take the 153 remaining riders in the race would head to the shores of Lake Garda tackling an almost entirely flat route out to the east between Castiglione delle Stiviere and Desenzano del Garda with the highest point of the day coming at 159 metres above sea level and lowest coming at the finish 95 metres lower With riders setting off in reverse GC order it was no surprise to see time trial specialist Josef Cerny (Soudal-QuickStep) hit the top of the timing boards early on the Czech rider was quickest of the earliest runners He set the only time under 10 minutes at the first checkpoint and then laying down a benchmark of 36:58 at the finish line – a rare early rider to average over 50kph Cerny’s time wouldn’t last long at the top with Max Walscheid (Cofidis) speeding through 10 minutes later in a time of 36:50 and then Daan Hoole (Lidl-Trek) going nine seconds quicker soon after who was sixth quickest over the flat section of the stage 7 time trial was the next man to take over the hot seat coming through 27 minutes after Cerny had finished to post a time of 36:32 at an average speed of 51.241kph it was time for several of the big favourites for the stage win set out to start their ride Former world time trial champion Tobias Foss was joined out on the road by his Ineos Grenadiers teammate as well as Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) The first checkpoint saw them shoot to the top of the standings with Ganna’s time of 9:39 already 12 seconds up on Cerny’s leading time after just 7.8km Foss’ 27:46 at the 23.2km second checkpoint would put him four seconds up on Affini’s leading time That time would be blown away by the flying Ganna as the Italian passed through in a time of 26:47 to clear his teammate by 59 seconds Foss would eventually come to the line to briefly take over the hot seat still four seconds up on Affini with a time of 36:28 though Ganna would blitz that time minutes later He lay down a marker of 35:02 to go 1:26 up on Foss a surely unbeatable time for the rest of the afternoon dropping time and a place to slip behind Foss as he slotted into third place with a time of 36:30 It would take some time before another contender got out on the course with Luke Plapp (Jayco-AlUla) and Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers) the pick of the runners before the GC men got going The Australian went third at the first two checkpoints He’d improve on the final run to the line to move to second at 1:15 behind the Italian crossing the first checkpoint in second just five seconds behind Ganna The young American shed a further 34 seconds on the road to the second checkpoint but his chances of securing that provisional second place evaporated as he crashed late on Sheffield would cross the line down in seventh place 1:35 down on Ganna and sporting some nasty road rash down his right side to boot Soon after Sheffield had drawn his ride to a close it was time for the main contenders to set out on their efforts as the top 15 riders on GC – all separated by three minutes at the start ramp – got underway Some of those riders – such as Esteban Chaves (Jayco-AlUla) Domenico Pozzovivo (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè) and Jan Hirt (Soudal-QuickStep) – passed through the first checkpoint at over a minute down on Ganna it was a different story as the Dutchman made a flying start to the stage passing through that checkpoint in third place at 9:50 the only man between Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) in fifth place and Sheffield in 39th to break the 10-minute mark there He’d continue his impressive ride to go third at the second checkpoint and go even quicker in the final section to take provisional second beating Plapp by 11 seconds with a time of 36:09 Tiberi also impressed to take sixth at the checkpoint with a time of 9:56 while the man 48 seconds above him on the GC Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) In the battle for second overall between former teammates Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) and Dani Martínez (Bora-Hansgrohe) it was the Welshman who struck the first blow to put in a time of 9:50 taking 19 seconds off the Colombian and moving into provisional second place as race leader Tadej Pogačar sped through the 7.8km marker at 9:35 – four seconds up on Ganna the outsiders were coming in to finish their rides with Arensman the big winner of the day and taking minutes on those lying ahead of him Once the dust settled on the rides of those ahead of him – Einer Rubio (Movistar) and Romain Bardet (DSM-Firmenich PostNL) – the Dutchman had comfortably jumped up from 10th overall into the top six who started the day at 1:25 up on Arensman The 22-year-old limited his losses to 12 seconds with a ride to provisional fourth and a time of 36:21 to keep hold of his placing while one spot further ahead O’Connor put in a top ride too The Australian sped home in fifth and a time of 36:27 Back at the second checkpoint after 23.2km Thomas was flying into second place with a time of 27:34 to put him 32 seconds up on Martínez was losing 18 seconds to O’Connor having started the day 59 seconds up on fourth place Martínez had lost 31 seconds to Thomas and 20 to O’Connor causing him to slip to third overall as Thomas jumped up to second place a 14-second swing saw Pogačar cross the second checkpoint at 10 seconds down on Ganna seemingly putting paid to his chances of taking the stage win and bringing some relief to the man in the hot seat That relief was well-founded as Pogačar shed more time on the final run into Desenzano del Garda eventually crossing the line 29 seconds down on Ganna the only man within a minute of the stage winner Results powered by FirstCycling Dani has reported from the world's top races She has interviewed many of the sport's biggest stars and her favourite races are the Giro d'Italia The Italian-Nigerian artist tells his story: here's how he defines the concept of "Afro-Italianness" and how he experienced the journey of uniting two cultures as strong as the Italian and Nigerian ones you arrived in Italy with your family from Nigeria when you were just two years old How do you remember those early years in Italy What was the experience that marked you the most during that period Those early years were a mix of discoveries and difficulties I perceived the differences between me and my peers The thing that marked me the most was the feeling of always being a little out of place: at home we spoke Yoruba I understood that this dual identity was a richness but as a child it was more complicated to manage You grew up in a small town like Castiglione delle Stiviere which is certainly not a large urban center How did you find it growing up in such a different context compared to what you would have found in Nigeria and when I was little there were very few Black people This meant that at school or around town I always felt like “the other,” the one to be observed growing up in such a small place pushed me to want to tell more about my experience and that of many young people like me Your identity as an Afro-Italian is a theme that strongly permeates your music How do you define the concept of “Afro-Italianness” and how have you experienced the journey of uniting two cultures as strong as the Italian and the Nigerian “Afro-Italianness” is the fusion between two worlds it’s living daily with two cultures that often seem opposite but that It’s growing up with Fela Kuti and Jovanotti eating pounded yam and pasta with tomato sauce speaking Italian outside the home and Yoruba inside It’s also having to fight to be recognized as Italian because often we are perceived as “other.” In my music to make people understand that there is an Italy that is also Afro What are the values you carry with you from your experience in Nigeria and how do you convey them in your music The strongest values I carry with me are resilience and this mentality is something that has always pushed me not to give up in my music career Then there’s the concept of community: in Nigeria and this is reflected a lot in the way I’ve built my journey with my crew and my people spirituality: even though I don’t define myself as a super religious person I know that faith and belief in one’s goals are fundamental to go far Italy has a very rich and varied musical culture How have you integrated Italian sounds with the Afrobeat tradition What elements of Italian culture most influence your music and I have always tried to find a meeting point between this world and Afrobeat sounds I listened to a lot of Italian music growing up so I absorbed certain melodies and ways of writing naturally and even though I often rap in English or Yoruba I like to use Italian to give a unique touch to my songs the Italian element that influences me the most is storytelling: in Italy there is a great culture of singer-songwriters and I always try to bring this approach to my lyrics ‘Big Boy’ represents a new phase in your musical career ‘Big Boy’ is a turning point for me It’s a piece that celebrates everything I’ve become over these years: an independent artist someone who has achieved a lot without ever losing his own identity the fact that after ten years of making music I’m still here there’s also the ironic side: in Italy there’s little talk about body positivity for men and I wanted to send a clear message: being ‘big’ is not a limitation You often talk about identity and belonging can contribute to telling universal stories and making people identify with them Music is a very powerful tool for telling who we are and for making people feel less alone Even those who are not Afro-Italian can find themselves in my lyrics because in the end I talk about common experiences: growing up with multiple cultures searching for one’s own space in the world Where do we see Tommy Kuti in the coming years to make myself known in the global Afrobeats scene I want to continue to be a point of reference for my community in Italy to give space to new Afro-Italian voices and to always tell stories that make a difference who knows… maybe one day you’ll also see me in different roles Consenso Privacy Last week Italian chrono king Filippo Ganna sat on the 2024 Giro d’Italia’s first time trial hot seat for a long time before his spot was usurped by Tadej Pogačar but on Saturday’s second time trial Ganna got his revenge It was Ganna’s sixth career Giro time trial triumph Pogačar now leads Geraint Thomas by 3:41 at the top of the standings A slightest of ripples characterized the telemetry of this 31.2-km time trial from Castiglione delle Stiviere to Desenzano del Garda Time Check 1 was at the 7.8-km marker and the second was at Kilometre 23.2 You could bank on movement within the top-10 and Thomas was expected to make up the 16 seconds separating him from second-place Dani Martinez and put daylight between himself and fourth-place Ben O’Connor The Ineos boys took over from Visma-Lease a Bike’s Edoardo Affini First Grenadier Tobias Foss posted 36:28 and immediately after Ganna smashed his teammate’s marker with 35:02 Australian national chrono champ Luke Plapp (Jayco-AlUla) slotted into second place behind Ganna American Grenadier Magnus Sheffield posted the second-best time at Check 2 and then crashed on his right side sifting down to seventh by the finish line the gaps between the riders increased to three minutes the story was O’Connor not losing too much time to Thomas Martinez losing time to the Brit and Pogačar four seconds faster than Ganna Up ahead at the finish line Grenadier Thymen Arensman jumped over Plapp into second place the pink jersey was only a second faster than Ganna O’Connor had lost 14 seconds to Thomas who started the day 16 seconds in arrears of Martinez Pogačar was 10 seconds slower than Ganna after 23.2 km Thomas took back his runner-up spot and padded his lead over O’Connor with the fourth fastest ride Martinez will be wary of O’Connor only 39 seconds off the final podium spot Arensman rocketed up to sixth from 10th and Einer Rubio was dumped from the top-10 in favour of

Did your Italian heritage inform your taste when it came to music when I lived in Italy I was just listening to whatever was on the radio and a lot of psychedelic rock and ’80s music I liked the classical side of Italian music but wasn’t into disco back in the day because it was too underground and Italian electronic pop music copied a lot of English music - it’s always been really cheesy and I didn’t like music sung in that language “I was always attracted to what people were listening to abroad I was lucky that my uncle had very good taste and introduced me to lots of electronic artists like Mike Oldfield and Kraftwerk.” What was the first big show you DJed and can you remember that experience I used to buy a lot of vinyl in a record shop in Kentish Town called Access All Areas Back then I was playing acid and acid techno The owner asked me if I could play there one Saturday afternoon when it was really busy a promoter came by and asked if I wanted to DJ at a party under the arches at London Bridge where only women DJs were playing Every arch played a different type of music from reggae to techno and drum & bass.” I was playing with another girl who was my neighbour in the room upstairs The set was only half an hour long but I was too scared to play by myself Everything was so pure back in those days - it was just you and your vinyl.”  “We played together for a while; she was a bit more funky and I was a bit more acid and hard techno We would still play together but I became Jackie Misfit I was walking around in Hackney and saw the poster for that party still hanging there - I couldn’t believe it I didn’t have an agent or a manager - things didn’t work like that “That’s when my DJ sound started to change from hard acid techno to a minimal techno style that was a little more melodic It was around that time that I also started to produce.” I managed to get an agent in Spain and began playing at a lot of the clubs around that region and in England but was just enjoying myself and never thought that music was going to be a job “It was only when I finished university that I started wondering what I was going to do with myself I was in love with music and playing in bands but only then did I think music was something I wanted to do with my life.” You got a diploma in sound engineering… “It went to the IMW School of Music Production in London The course was three months and I finished by doing an eight-month diploma especially when it comes to the sound engineering side like how to use the software and everything you need to mix a track when you do everything in the box it’s easy to find tutorials That’s much easier than learning sound engineering the old-school way where you need to understand how to get a good sound using vintage gear like tape machines and other analogue effects.” "It’s nice to see that there’s a bit more balance and space for girls to get recognised for the things they do.” “It was a good experience for me to learn the basics and get hands-on with old-school equipment because I’d never have been able to afford it at the time I took the cheaper course and didn’t have access to the studio every single day but I’ll never regret the time I spent there The course was just me and another girl in a class of 30 men but it was kind of cool being one of the only girls [laughs].” you’ve been involved in Ibiza’s International Music Summit where you’ve discussed some of the obstacles women have to overcome in a male-dominated environment… “I guess I’ve always been really lucky When I was playing at raves I was surrounded by really nice people who respected me Maybe I never had any issues because I never had any expectations so it’s not as male-dominated as it was before It’s nice to see that there’s a bit more balance and space for girls to get recognised for the things they do.”  How did you build up a studio to operate from “It was tough at the time, living in London and trying to support myself. I was always working part-time and had a very small budget. The first gear that I bought was terrible! I bought a Yamaha digital mixer because a girl I was playing in a band with was selling it I really should have bought a small analogue mixer because this big digital thing only complicated my life “I also bought the cheapest pair of plastic Alesis speakers - another mistake because obviously the most important thing you need in the studio is a good pair of speakers.”  but I was also lucky because I was in bands and always had access to other friends’ studios that had lots of amazing gear.” “I have loads of tracks in my computer that were influenced by bands like Kraftwerk but I never used that influence for my club music and would never try to copy anyone anyway I liked the analogue sounds they used but didn’t want to construct my tracks in that style.  “When I had a studio that was good enough to finally get a track together I was more excited by whatever was current at the time I became very influenced by the artists that I was introduced to and that’s when I started to make minimal techno and tribal minimal.” Last year you released your debut solo album Life Of Leaf We get the impression this is the album you’ve always wanted to make “The album is really a mixture of everything that I liked and it’s something I always wanted to make It took a long time because it was only then that I felt able to make an album the way I wanted to Life Of Leaf is very personal and maybe you can hear how I was inspired by the many different types of electronic and classical music that I grew up with.” You had a classical upbringing and you’ve taken the opportunity to embed those elements into the production I didn’t want to make a dancefloor record or include that type of music because I wanted to tell a story that was divorced from styles like techno or house even though it’s what people expect from me I wanted to show a more musical side because I’ve been writing music since I was a kid “I don’t know what you thought about the album but there are elements in there that are quite old-fashioned mixed with dancefloor elements that hopefully sound new.”  Your dance-based tracks have always had a certain ambience to them… “I know that dance music is more powerful when it’s hammering away at people on the dancefloor but at the moment it’s not how I like making music but I think my style of music has something to do with being a girl because I hear this style in a lot of other music made by female artists.”  Do you feel that making club music has been a means to an end and Life Of Leaf is the true expression of your sound “I still see club music as very separate for this release I’ve already started working on the next album Life Of Leaf is just a journey I’ve had to go through I guess the album was a way for me to balance my DJ life making house and techno tracks and everything I’ve learned over the years It’s just something I wanted to do before continuing my career.” Is it difficult to blend electronic and classical elements in a way that’s seamless and natural but sometimes wish it could be a bit more dreamy or different somehow I’m so picky and precise and so aware that my music has all these classical lines and everything is so structured I’d like to have a more jamming vibe I miss that because I’ve studied classical music where everything is always so mathematical.” Is it a case of you needing to unlearn your classical training “I’m a perfectionist and I think it’s difficult for people like me to let go a little bit. Maybe I need to start using Ableton more to create this jamming style in my music recording everything and choosing the best bits is probably the key to that I’ve done studio jams before but fall into the habit of wanting everything to be structured again because I tour so much I haven’t always got the time to do what I want in the studio which makes it worse if you’re stuck in your own world.” Are the strings you use on your tracks real or software generated How do you typically approach building a track record it and build a track around that and sometimes I’ll record a vocal on my phone while I’m on tour and create a song around that when I get back into the studio Other times I’ll start from a loop on a drum machine so it’s rare that I’ll start any two tracks in the same way “When I listen to a lot of other artists’ tracks I get the feeling that the way they are made is quite similar but none of my tracks have consistency because I always start them in a different way.”  You studied vocal techniques formally… “I studied at the Conservatorium of Music for piano and opera singing but didn’t finish the course as it was ten years long I just wanted to move to London and in 2008 went to Thames Valley University to study vocal techniques in popular music performance It was a three-year degree and we studied all different types of singing techniques for lots of different styles of music from reggae to jazz We used to learn vocal techniques with other instrumentalists and have exams every Monday where we’d perform with other people That wasn’t always ideal as I’d usually been DJing all weekend and wasn’t in great shape [laughs].” What’s your approach to recording vocals “I always record vocals in the studio and prefer to be alone because I feel like I need to create quite an intimate environment The important thing is to know the sound I’m looking for and how to process the vocals - I also love using a harmoniser for vocal effects When a track’s finished I’ll either mix it myself or use someone else depending on how difficult I’m finding it to get what I want.” What sort of problems do you run across that require the help of a mix engineer “The problem with Life Of Leaf was that it was made from a combination of tracks that I’d put together over many years I’ll try to use the same mix engineer because although I could mix it myself it probably won’t sound as good as using a proper engineer who has all the nice equipment “It’s hard to find someone to mix your tracks who you really like You really need to know what you want and be part of the whole mix process because there’s lots of back and forth and if you don’t attend the mix session they might make it sound different to how you want it.” What mixing console are you using in the studio and how do you use it I used to have a Mackie console but I got the 400B from Funky Junk in London about seven years ago when I used to work there raw sound - an analogue sound with a bit of noise I love the console and run everything through it I have a lot of gear and not everything fits in the room so I’ve set up a patchbay to choose what to run through it “I’m quite versatile in that way I’ll mix from ten different channels using ten different instruments and the next day swap everything up and reroute the signals Sometimes I’ll record straight into the desk and other times into the preamp and directly into the DAW.” (Image credit: Jacob Khrist)(Image credit: Jacob Khrist)(Image credit: Jacob Khrist)What hardware synths do you favour these days but it’s really good to use for any percussion-type sound The 101 is great when it’s controlled by a drum machine I’m also starting to use the MatrixBrute Do you prefer using analogue drum machines to programming in the box?  although I think you can often add a nice contrast by adding soft synths I prefer hardware because you can touch it and are obviously playing an instrument which is unfortunately broken at the moment I really miss it and it’s hard to fix drum machines I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Wersi Drum Machine It’s like a very old-school machine with loads of loops in it Aphex Twin uses it in a lot of his tracks.” You’re still using the Akai MPC 2000 “I wanted to have one as you can do so much with it like sample your favourite records or even your tracks and create some super funky grooves with it I got the white one but I’ve added ten outputs instead of the two and took out the floppy disk drive and exchanged it for an SD card Now I can upload more sounds and it’s super-nice to use.” We’ve read you’re a fan of the MOD Duo… “The MOD Duo is a digital effects box and it sounds amazing If you connect it to your computer and open the module page you can create your own line of effects by plugging a delay into a compressor or filter and creating a mono or stereo line You can also save the effects back onto the hardware module It’s a very strong piece of equipment that looks beautiful and it’s great to use live because you can preset all of your effects and apply them to whatever you’ve set up it’s just a different way of thinking.”  "For reverbs and delays I’ve never really found a good software plugin and prefer to use the hardware equivalent." but for reverbs and delays I’ve never really found a good software plugin and prefer to use the hardware equivalent You’re donating a percentage of your proceeds to the Life Of Releaf campaign “From the artwork to the music I feel that Life Of Leaf is very nature-oriented so when we decided to do the album campaign I thought it’d be a really nice idea to tap into that “To make that connection, every time we sell a copy of the album we’re going to plant a tree. We’re working together with a company called One Tree Planted that supports global reforestation and is very well informed The trees get planted all around the world from Australia to South America and the UK You can choose where you want the tree to go and they always use local people to plant the right tree rather than just put some weird tree in a weird place.” You’re preparing to perform Life Of Leaf live… but launching that is quite a hard thing to do People know me as a DJ and only want to see me as that but we have built a live set and we’re ready to go on tour We have a very good package of remixes ready to go that feature a couple of amazing old-school acts I’m hoping this year will be busier for me on the live stage and I’m already writing my second album so I’ll probably add those songs to the live gigs I think everything will be more collaborative and the tracks will have a bit more energy.”   Future MusicFuture Music is the number one magazine for today's producers

it is possible to retrace one of the best-known events of the Italian Risorgimento also outlined through the memoirs of Garibaldians closely linked to the Brescia area Giuseppe Nodari is the author of a graphic reportage realised precisely in the years when photography was beginning to be used as a documentation tool useful for the construction of a new idea of nationhood the vivid and detailed watercolours are placed in dialogue with other testimonies that contributed to constructing the historical memory of the most famous enterprise of the Italian Risorgimento: the Brescian memoirs and the first photographic incunabula of the French reporters present in Sicily in 1860 The most vivid and curious details of the watercolours can be appreciated in all their fullness thanks to an

Services and Public Engagement Do not miss the events and activities of the museums it will be possible to visit the photographic exhibition “A History of Humanity” in the indoor halls of the International Red Cross Museum as well as in Piazza S A journey made of images which trace the Red Cross’ response to modern emergencies with works by Paolo Pellegrin (Magnum Photos) Looking towards the future while keeping deep roots in the past with the exhibition “A History of Humanity” experimenting with a model of storytelling that aims at engaging the visitor by accompanying him/her in an experience in which past and present meet in the discovery of its essence: Humanity Humanity is the first Principle of the Red Cross It has always been the basis of all its actions It also underlies its motto: “Tutti Fratelli.” It is a Principle that applies everywhere and for everyone binds us inextricably to one another and allows us to recognize ourselves in others The history of the Red Cross thus becomes “A History of Humanity” whose non-didactic narrative is presented to the public in the place where the very idea of the Red Cross originated An exhibition within an exhibition where one can travel the high road of history admiring its continuity in the differences through the juxtaposition of a selection of objects from the Museum’s historical collection and the photographic accounts of the Italian Red Cross’ response to modern emergencies embellished by the works of authors of international stature Leading the way is the idea of a museum capable of offering an engaging and experiential tour stimulating discussions and reflections on major current issues and strengthening the link with the territory and its community This is why the exhibition “A History of Humanity” starts from the International Red Cross Museum develops into the squares and streets of Castiglione delle Stiviere and then accompanies the visitor back to the Museum with works by Paolo Pellegrin

soli che non applicavano la contenzione secondo il censimento dell'associazione Club Spdc no restraint perché demandata all'iniziativa dei singoli medici e minata dalla carenza di personale sanitario nella stragrande maggioranza delle strutture italiane di Veronica Rossi i reparti in cui non si lega sono solo 19 su 318 «Notiamo una tendenza al peggioramento» già direttore del dipartimento di Salute mentale di Mantova e ora presidente dell’associazione «anche i servizi storicamente no restraint fanno fatica perché la situazione è in continua evoluzione dipende dal medico che li dirige e dal suo gruppo di lavoro «Da parte delle Regioni c’è un sostanziale disinteresse per la salute mentale ma anche in una delega ai direttore dei dipartimento» l’unico interlocutore della politica è il coordinamento dei primari» se cambia l’équipe o c’è un avvicendamento nella dirigenza il tipo di presa in carico degli Spdc rischia delle brusche virate «A Livorno c’era uno degli storici reparti no restraint» «ma dopo l’ultimo cambio alla direzione è morto mentre era in una situazione di contenzione» (vicenda denunciata nel 2021 dovrebbe essere – secondo l’esperto – una delle preoccupazioni principali della politica «Le Regioni dovrebbero avere delle strutture che diano priorità a questo tema» «coinvolgendo tutti gli attori: i medici sono anche i cambiamenti nell’organizzazione delle Aziende sanitarie comune nella città metropolitana di Milano in cui c’è un reparto no restraint «Per ora l’Spdc resiste» «ma hanno un bacino di utenza di circa 800mila persone seguite diversi centri psicosociali» spesso i servizi – ormai in tutta la Penisola – si devono affidare a medici a gettone liberi professionisti pagati profumatamente a ore per tamponare la scarsità di dottori all’interno degli ospedali «Questa modalità è contraria a tutto quello che dovrebbe essere un servizio sanitario territoriale «in cui l’intervento è tanto più efficace quanto più lo specialista conosce il contesto in cui lavora Per trattare con le persone affette da disturbi mentali anche conoscere la cultura locale o il dialetto può fare la differenza» In questo contesto in cui gli Spdc sono in difficoltà si crea anche una discrepanza tra l’attività dei Centri di salute mentale – Csm e quello che succede all’interno dei reparti dedicati all’emergenza «In alcuni territori ci sono attività riabilitative e di recovery c’è la contenzione e un approccio depersonalizzante È come se si costruisse un rapporto di fiducia ma lo si tradisse nel momento di maggior bisogno» l’abbiamo sempre ottenuto pur essendo minoranza» «Anche all’epoca della Legge 180 la maggior parte dei medici non era per la riforma Si è portato avanti delle idee che hanno avuto un grosso sostegno da parte dell’opinione pubblica» Clip in apertura tratta dal film Qualcuno volò sul nido del cuculo Gli articoli online di VITA sono in larga parte accessibili gratuitamente perché l’informazione è un diritto
