But filmmaker Michiel Blanchart makes his directorial feature debut with a lean and brilliant thriller that is uniquely thrilling because of how devotedly grounded it is.
The screenplay (written by Blanchart and Gilles Marchand) begins simply enough
following twentysomething Mady Bala (Jonathan Feltre) through the routine of his night job as a locksmith
until a cute brunette who calls herself Claire (Natacha Krief) lures him into a heist
his routine is in the rearview mirror as he races to survive a night where he's enraged a ruthless gangster with a band of skinheads at his beck and call
he'll need to get the girl — or at least the cash.
from its high-rise apartments to its bumping nightclubs
and we get to be his captive audience.
The first taste of action comes in the apartment Claire claimed was hers
Mady silently takes in the living room's layout
the Nazi memorabilia prominently displayed
and the hulking stranger who has just found an intruder in his place
And scrambling to fight back against a brute who would turn his face into a fire — with an assist from the lit stovetop — Mady has to think fast
perfect for a quick stab to the gut.
While this might sound like a masterful improvisation of weaponry
Feltre's performance is one of terror and bewilderment
conveniently trained to best any adversary
He's just a guy trying to get through the night
And this scramble makes all the violence inflicted by and on him hit like a gut punch
The stakes feel real as Mady wriggles away from the neo-Nazi on a rampage
And even as this scrappy locksmith bests him with a lucky blow to the neck
Mady gags at the sight of blood burbling from his fallen foe's neck.
In one swift and brutal action sequence at the film's top
Blanchart keenly establishes the life-or-death stakes and the gritty reality of this action movie
The broader details of the gangsters and their crimes are kept smartly vague
as none of that matters in the urgency of Mady's dilemma
And it's absolutely enthralling to see this slim everyman in a bulky jacket
obscuring his ripped physique — as opposed to a jacked-up Wolverine — take on the hell that is the night ahead of him
Mady is soon in the hands of a scowling kingpin (French actor Romain Duris
who turns him over to two cronies assigned to the task of recovering the loot that clever Claire stole
No one cares that Mady was an unwitting accomplice
Reason and rationale are a luxury Mady is not granted
and so he must look for any opportunity to best his captors.
But even as Night Call turns into film-noir territory with Claire
the screenwriters refuse to keep her an easily evil figure
the film twists into emotionally intelligent terrain that makes its climax incredible in more ways than one
Not only does Night Call defy genre expectations
but it also plays to reality without feeling like a letdown.
committing convincingly to the fight choreography without losing Mady's wide-eyed shock at his circumstances
Duris — whose previous movies range from Jacques Audiard's neo-noir Beat to rom-coms like Heartbreaker and the dreamy Mood Indigo — is harrowing as a snarling gangster
Jonas Bloquet is both intimidating and intriguing
while Natacha Krief as Claire is so deeply charming that it's easy to see how Mady fell for her ruse
the performances in Night Call are distinctive
making the underbelly of Brussels a place that's sinister but sensational.
Combine these crackling performances and the savagely smart script with cinematographer Sylvestre Vannoorenberghe's smooth sensibility
which thoughtfully pushes and pulls audiences through the labyrinth that is Mady's mad night
Blanchart's first film is as electrifying as it is surprising

Night Call is a propulsive action thriller that’s uninterested in examining the political underpinnings its story relies on
Director: Michiel BlanchartOriginal Title: La Nuit Se TraîneGenre: Action
Release: TBAWhere to Watch: In US theatres and on digital platforms
Night Call is a Belgian neo-noir and action thriller about Mady (Jonathan Feltre)
a well-meaning locksmith who happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time
He gets a call from the enigmatic Claire (Natacha Krief)
who needs him to break open the locked door to her apartment
she disappears under the pretense of needing to grab some cash from the ATM to pay him
leaving him alone to wait in the apartment
he stays there until a brutish and aggressive man shows up and immediately attacks him
After a violent – and exceptionally well staged – struggle
but two more guys show up and take him with them
As it turns out, there were a million euros stashed away in the apartment Mady unknowingly helped Claire break into. With her long gone, the group of gangsters led by Yannick (Romain Duris, of The Animal Kingdom) blame Mady for the money’s disappearance
That he killed one of them doesn’t help his case either
and if he manages to get both the money and the girl (whose real name is obviously not Claire) back by the end of the night
And so begins a hunt across Brussels and its nightlife
All of this is set against the backdrop of protests and civil unrest
but one of the movie’s biggest missteps is that it doesn’t do anything meaningful with this setting
which seems to primarily exist to create easy obstacles
Since the police are busy dealing with the protests
they can’t help Mady when he tries to call them
parts of the city are conveniently blocked by the demonstrations
and no matter how late into the night it gets
there are always huge crowds of people to hide between
It’s disappointing that writers Michiel Blanchart and Gilles Marchand didn’t do more with such a perfect set up
If you’re telling the story of an innocent Black man who’s wrongfully accused of a crime against the backdrop of a Black Lives Matter protest in the wake of police brutality
you should really find a way to connect those elements in a more effective way thematically
they are almost entirely separated except when it’s a useful tool for the screenwriters to keep the story going
that is because the action here is shot practically
and the occasional fall from a building all have a real impact on the viewer
It’s clear that director Michiel Blanchart and his team know how to shoot an action scene
Sylvestre Vannoorenberghe’s camera creates dynamic movements to accentuate the big beats of a fight
And the long takes help both the well-choreographed action as well as the quieter moments of tension
The sound design by Fabrice Grizard is similarly fantastic in Night Call
Mady’s head is wrapped in gaffer tape
The sound of the environment is dampened while his struggling breath and the squeaking tape on his face are brought into the foreground
which only increases the anxiety and tension of the scene
This kind of stylized sound design that plays with the subjective experience of its characters is found all throughout the film
making us feel the same stress Mady must be under
Jonathan Feltre gives a very strong performance as Mady
a young man whose naivety and innocence bring him into an unjustly difficult situation
he’s forced into actions that nobody (including himself) would think he’s capable of
all the while attempting to keep his humanity intact
We see him breaking down at the thought of having to torture someone and wrestling with the kill from the beginning of the film
And so much of that happens in Jonathan Feltre’s face
there’s a final beat in his character towards the very end that doesn’t work
Even if Jonathan Feltre gives it everything he has
the script is not there to support this development in his character
And that’s the big thing keeping Night Call back from being truly great
There’s the BLM protest happening in the background
Or the innocent core of Mady’s character that he fights to maintain in the face of darkness
Even the ex-girlfriend that is mentioned twice
but seems to be immediately forgotten the moment a scene passes
And so Night Call had all the elements to craft a special new entry into the thriller genre
but because it couldn’t figure out how to coherently put all these ideas together in a way that would make them matter
it’s just another technically well-executed action crime thriller
After innocent and naive locksmith Mady is tricked into opening the wrong door
he finds his life threatened by a dangerous gangster
he has to find the money he unknowingly helped to steal before the end of the night
Night Call was released in US theaters and on VOD on January 17

HILLSBOROUGH - The township board of education will form a committee to delve into the financial issues that led the former superintendent of schools and business administrator to leave the school district a year ago
Board President Paul Marini announced the creation of an Investigation Remediation Ad Hoc Committee at Thursday's Board of Education reorganization meeting
Under auspices of the larger Operations/Finance committee
the ad hoc committee will review the "investigation into events from a year ago," Marini said
In January 2022, then-Superintendent of Schools Lisa Anthunesa took a leave of absence soon after the resignation of former Business Administrator Aiman Mahmoud in December 2021, during an investigation into school finances by the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office
No details or results of the investigation have been released
Officials have not revealed what were the circumstances that led to the investigation
Marini said the committee's work will begin once the investigation's findings become available to the board
The committee will be chaired by board member Jean Trujillo with Elaine Jackson
the goal of the committee is "to assess the impact of the outcomes of the investigation and make formal recommendations to the full board regarding the actions to be taken."

The committee also will create a report that will be presented to the full board for approval and released to the public
The committee will also recommend policy revisions or structural changes based on concerns raised in the investigation
Antunes's leave began two days after Mahmoud resigned
Mahmoud served as business administrator since January 2008
Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Kim Feltre
who had been appointed acting school superintendent
temporary purchasing agent and acting board secretary in the absence of Antunes and Mahmoud
and former school board President Jean Trujillo
said the prosecutor's office is investigating "certain activities undertaken by the business office."
Trujillo and Feltre also said there was an ongoing audit of the business office and that the state Department of Education had been informed of the district's situation
"The board notified the prosecutor’s office and the Department of Education that questions surrounding certain activities authorized by the business office had been reported to the board," Trujillo and Feltre said in the statement
"The board is fully cooperating with the prosecutor’s office."
The 2021 statement added that the district also hired forensic auditor
In November, Michael Volpe was appointed the new Superintendent of Schools. Volpe replaced Daniel Fishbein who was hired as interim school superintendent in August
Fishbein replaced Feltre who returned to her post as the district's Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction
Marini was re-elected by board members to the president post for a second year and Cynthia Nurse was elected as vice president
Davis and Danny Lee were sworn in as was incumbent Trujillo
was appointed to an unexpired two-year term

I imagine it happened that your incalculable and unspeakable pain slowly thawed like an enormous sheet of ice in your hearts
Pope Francis expressed his sympathy to those who faced great sorrow for the 2,000 lives lost from the 1963 Landslide of Vajont Dam in northern Italy
as he received a delegation from the Italian Diocese of Belluno-Feltre on Friday
marking the 60-year anniversary of the tragedy
a heavy burden of memory and suffering," the Holy Father acknowledged
thanked them for their ability to start anew
and called them "a wave of hope."
a catastrophic wave swept away entire villages and hamlets
claiming 1910 lives," the Pope observed
"For you responded to that wave of annihilation and destruction with the courage of memory and reconstruction," he noted
"I think of all the silent drops that formed this great wave of good: the rescuers
the many who did not let themselves be imprisoned by grief
and you are witnesses to these seeds of resurrection
which may not make much headlines but are precious in the eyes of God
the 'specialist in restarting,' He who from a tomb of death has started an eternal story of new life."
"you did so much good without many words
but with great commitment and concreteness
you carefully rebuilt where neglect had caused destruction."
several questions have been raised: "What caused the tragedy was not mistakes in the design or construction of the dam
but the very fact of wanting to build a reservoir in the wrong place
"for putting the logic of profit before care for humanity and the environment in which we live."
the Pope appealed for proper care of Creation
"I never tire of repeating that caring for Creation is not simply an ecological factor
but an anthropological issue: it has to do with human life
and it concerns the future of everyone and the global society in which we are immersed."
“[ It concerns the future of everyone and the global society in which we are immersed.]”
but "tremendous and destructive," he also recognized
"in the case of Vajont," or "inaccessible to so many in the world today who suffer thirst or have no drinkable water."
he urged the faithful to adopt the respectful gaze of Saint Francis
"to recognise the beauty of creation," stop devastating the environment
and "to collaborate fraternally in the development of life."
"You do this," Pope Francis said
"by preserving the memory and bearing witness to how life can rise again precisely there
where everything had been swallowed up by death."

HILLSBOROUGH – The school board will consider making changes after an audit found "multiple" areas of concern in the district's financial operations
The district's finances have come under scrutiny since former Business Administrator Mahmoud resigned in December. Two days later Superintendent Lisa Antunes began a leave of absence
The school board accepted Antunes' resignation effective May 1 at Monday's meeting
Antunes said she was leaving the district "for personal reasons" and will be pursuing "other professional opportunities."
Board members made no other comment about Antunes' departure
Details of the settlement between Antunes and the district were not disclosed
Marini said he could discuss the findings of the annual audit but could not discuss "at this time" the results of a forensic audit the district is conducting
The board has also hired a special counsel to review the district's financial practices
The audit found "recurring instances" where large checks were issued before the bill list was approved by the school board
was "circumventing the controls in place over board approval over disbursements."
The audit also found that there were instances when purchases over the bid threshold were made without the school board approving the bids and no exemption was given from the bidding process
Another finding of the audit was that overtime was being paid to employees who were not eligible for overtime
there were instances where professional contracts were awarded without either a specific amount of compensation or a "not to exceed" amount were included in the pact
The audit also revealed that the district's capital assets records were not accurate
In March, Marini said the district was waiting for the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office "to give the thumbs up" for the district to discuss the audit.

A law-abiding locksmith may not seem like a profession that would lead to a lot of action
but in Michiel Blanchart’s Belgian thriller “Night Call,” one mundane assignment turns its hero’s shift into a tense fight to survive
picks up the phone and hears a young woman’s voice on the other end
But this supposedly routine call feels off
and making excuses as to why she doesn’t have her I.D
but when she slips away to allegedly get his payment
another figure stands in the doorway and this one is much more scary
But his escape is short lived as Mady is captured by the man’s associates demanding the money stolen from the apartment
Mady must now find ways to placate a gang that’s ready to kill him at a moment’s notice by solving the mystery of where their money went before they change their mind.
Blanchart’s film is a boiler plate thriller where a normal person finds themselves in extraordinary circumstances
Mady must use his wits and experience to pick locks
Mady is as hellbent to survive as his enemy is to find their looted cash
Feltre plays a sympathetic figure who cries when hurting someone and scares himself when he kills the man who assaults him
proactively looking for solutions to escape and fight back when needed.
Mady’s desperation is palpable in many frames of the movie thanks to the work of Blanchart and his cinematographer
They ensure their hero’s sweaty struggle to make it to the dawn is felt in pained close ups and breathless chase sequences
So many of the shots channel a film noir spirit as the camera follows a desperate man on the run from the shadows closing in on him
When he’s face-to-face with the gang trying to shake him down for answers
almost as if they were audaciously operating in the light without consequences
It certainly feels that way as police intervention – when it belatedly arrives – shows up with a woeful outcome.
While “Night Call” delivers in the thriller department of the narrative
it stumbles when trying to tackle the politics of the day
who co-wrote “Night Call” with Gilles Marchand and Laurent Brandenbourger
includes the Black Lives Matter protests in Belgium as a backdrop to the action
Mady drives by protestors on the way to his job
and he listens to some of the news updates before switching to his favorite singer
Blanchart clearly wants to say something about BLM
does not seem especially called to take to the streets as he has a job to keep
he’s harassed by another protestor who calls him a “sheep” for not joining the march
After cops arrest Mady and a different protestor
she tears into the officers about their unlawful treatment
and she’s oblivious to violence that’s about to happen
The protestors are painted in a negative light
yet later when police brutality reenters the film for its final act
now it seems that BLM protestors were vindicated after all
While “Night Call” satiates the craving for a typical thriller
the BLM subplot feels strangely out-of-place and off-putting
as if it were grafted on in an effort to seem relevant
White supremacism even makes an appearance early on in a cutaway shot inside of the apartment Mady initially opens
showing Nazi paraphernalia on a mantle he can’t see in the dark
When the hulking guy walks in on an unknown Black man in his kitchen
it doesn’t seem like Mady has found a cell of white supremacists
the idea is introduced then never mentioned again
The movie doesn’t need that to feel scarier or more tense
just the threat of accidentally walking in on a robbery is adrenaline enough
but the filmmakers added more ingredients to a stew that was already fully cooked

(Hillsborough Township Public Schools)HILLSBOROUGH
NJ — Two Hillsborough students are alive thanks to the fast actions of two school employees who used the Heimlich maneuver to save them from choking
Vice Principal of Auten Road Intermediate School Jennifer Battista and Sunnymead Elementary School Lunch Aide Teresa Tighe were both honored at the Monday night Board of Education meeting by Acting Superintendent Dr
"Thank you is hardly enough to show our gratitude to Mrs
Tighe for your training and willingness to step in and help in such a crucial time
We are very lucky to have you in our schools," said Feltre
Battista was "in the right place at the right time" when she performed the Heimlich on a student in the cafeteria
who has served in the district for 18 years
said a student flagged her down to alert her of the choking student
I met with him afterward and commended him for his bravery and for doing the right thing when someone was in crisis
It is a real testament to our students here as well.," said Battista
Tighe who was in the cafeteria took action to save the life of a choking student
our responsibility is to provide the children with a happy and healthy lunch period and most of all safe
And I am happy that I could be there," said Tighe
"I am happy his friend actually flagged me down because the lunch room is pretty busy… most of all I am happy the boy was OK."

this tightly wound thriller owes a debt to Michael Mann’s Collateral
bureaucracy-dominated Brussels is probably not on the top of many lists of cities likely to serve as a setting for an exciting crime film
But this Francophone drama just goes to prove that
well-designed stunts and chase sequences and a bit of imagination
It’s even more impressive a feat in that it is co-writer-director Michiel Blanchart’s first feature
inventive and as grippy as duct tape throughout
The protagonist is Mady Bala (Jonathan Feltre
displaying impressive subtlety and physical prowess)
independent locksmith who stays up all night on call in case he’s summoned to help a customer break into their own home
In order to ensure he’s not being used to commit a crime
Mady usually asks to see a callout client’s ID
he lets these precautions slide for Claire (Natacha Krief)
a pretty girl who shares his taste for an old chanson he hums while working
who says her money and her wallet are inside the flat
that’s a big mistake and soon Mady is ensnared by a gang hunting down a stolen fortune
one led by icily efficient boss Yannick (Romain Duris)
assisted by thugs Remy (Thomas Mustin) and Theo (Jonas Bloquet)
The latter turns out to have just a smidge more humanity
Blanchart has mentioned Michael Mann’s Collateral as an influence
especially in the way the plot turns on a schlubby ordinary guy discovering the capacity within himself to fight back
He even finds the chutzpah to do a little betraying of his own when required
Blanchart keeps the beat steady with a tight rhythm of tension and release
interspersing talky tense bits with bravura action
like a bike ride down the steps of an underground station
It’s all heady enough to keep you distracted from thinking about how this could have all been prevented all this from happening if someone had just paid Mady his 250 euros right at the start
Night Call is on digital platforms from 28 April

Spectroscopic studies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powerful means of probing the physical properties of the ionized gas within them
such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
will allow detailed statistical studies of rest-frame ultraviolet and optical spectral features of the very distant AGN with unprecedented accuracy
we discuss the various ways of exploiting new dedicated photoionization models of the narrow-line emitting regions (NLR) of AGN for the interpretation of forthcoming revolutionary datasets
Nebular emission lines observed in galaxy spectra contain valuable information about the nature of the ionizing source and physical conditions of the ionized gas within these same galaxies
on-board JWST) near infrared spectrographs will provide ultraviolet
rest-frame spectra of galaxies out to the epoch of Reionization
it is extremely important to develop physically motivated spectral models
along with analysis tools based on advanced statistical techniques
for the interpretation of the rest-frame optical/ultraviolet spectra of both active and inactive galaxies at all cosmic epochs
In section 2 we describe photoionization models of the AGN NLR
In the following Sections we show how (i) new ultraviolet
spectral diagnostic diagrams allow one to distinguish between nuclear activity and star formation
(ii) these new models can be best used to understand the physical properties of the gas in the AGN NLR and (iii) the implementation of these AGN photoionization calculations in an innovative bayesian fitting code can help us best interpret current

Dashed and continuous lines are AGN models corresponding to wide ranges in power-law index
−4.0 < log(U) < −1.0
Stars connected by dotted lines are star-forming galaxy models
All the models are shown for different metallicity Z (color coded as indicated on the left panel)
Also shown in each panel are the observations of AGN (crosses with error bars) and star-forming galaxies (large diamonds with upper and lower limits) described in section 3
to illustrate a potential application of photoionization models described above (section 2)
we compare the model predictions with the emission line measurements of a sample of C IV λ1550-selected Type 2 AGN (see section 4.1)
The ionized gas in the NLR of AGN surrounds the black hole at the galaxy centre and it is likely connected to the nuclear star formation
By measuring the metal abundance of the ionized gas in the AGN NLR
we can obtain indirect information about the star formation history of the host galaxy
To pursue our goals we appeal to VIMOS observations from the z-COSMOS Deep Survey (Lilly et al., 2007)
We limited our study to the redshift range 1.45 < z < 3.05 to assure that the C IV λ1550 emission line is well covered by the observed spectral range
The presence of this feature in a galaxy spectrum is indicative of nuclear activity
We identified 192 C IV λ1550-selected objects
sources with a C IV λ1550 line intensity 5 times larger than the significance level
of the C IV λ1550 line lower than 2,000 km/s)
From the rest-frame ultraviolet spectra of our sample of Type 2 AGN we measured fluxes
velocity dispersions and equivalent widths of the emission lines
Note that the AGN-selection effectiveness has been also confirmed by the ultraviolet diagnostic diagrams
sample selection and data measurements will be presented in further details in Mignoli et al.
based on sophisticated bayesian statistic techniques (see section 5)
NLR inner radius and internally microturbulent clouds)
We also do not observed any correlation between the metallicity and the stellar mass of the host galaxy
One can interpret this as a missing link between the gas in the NLR and the interstellar gas in the galaxy
our analysis is based on a restricted range of stellar masses and the stellar mass host estimates depends both on the templates and fitting technique used for the analysis
we plan to derive both metallicity and stellar masses from the same fitting technique
based on advanced statistical methods (see section 5)
in terms of Oxygen abundance 12 + log(O/H)
for the C IV λ1550-selected Type 2 AGN described in section 4.1 vs
stellar masses of the host galaxies The measurements are color coded for different redshift bins as shown in the legend
The black dashed line indicates the value of the solar metallicity
of the AGN NLR averaged for three redshift bins as labeled in the legend
The right panel of Figure 2 suggests a decrease of metallicity with increasing redshift. Despite previous findings in the literature, where no evidence for a redshift evolution of the metallicity in AGN was found (Nagao et al., 2006), a lower metal content moving in more distant sources is what one would expect from models of cosmic chemical evolution. Note also, that the observed trend in Figure 2 is opposite to the trend
introduced by the presence of the N V λ1240 line which was favoring very high metallicities
Future plans include the implementation of the AGN NLR models in a fitting tool based on sophisticated fitting technique, i.e., BEAGLE (Chevallard and Charlot, 2016
BEAGLE combines in a coherent way emission from different components (stars
adopts Bayesian approach to obtain posterior probability distribution functions of every model parameter and includes predictions from galaxy formation models
BEAGLE allows to chose between different options based on the user's aims: (i) to fit spectro-photometric data at ultaviolet to infrared wavelengths
(ii) to create synthetic catalogs of galaxy SEDs and (iii) to the study retrievability of galaxy physical parameters for different type of observations
BEAGLE can handle data from broad-band photometry and/or spectroscopic information (e.g.
emission line intensities or equivalent widths)
With the implementation of the AGN NRL photoionization models
BEAGLE will be an ideal tool to (i) fit ultraviolet/optical spectra of obscured AGN at any redshift
(ii) study the effects of the presence of AGN with different accretion luminosities on the ultraviolet/optical spectral features of a galaxy spectrum and (iii) to produce mock catalogs of ultraviolet/optical spectra of Type 2 AGN
In the previous Sections we have described new photoinization calculations for the NLR of AGN
We showed how ratios of emission-lines at ultraviolet wavelengths are good diagnostics of the ionizing source (nuclear vs
photoionization models are useful tools for the study of the physical properties of the ionized gas (e.g.
density) of AGN and they can be easily implemented in fitting tools to interpret current spectroscopic observations of high redshift sources
The exploitation of these spectral models and analysis tools will be particularly useful to interpret observations of high-redshift galaxies with future facilities
such as the James Webb Space Telescope and extremely large ground-based telescopes
which will push previous studies up to the epoch of reionization (z>7)
AF and SC developed the spectral models and the diagnostic diagrams
performed the spectral measurements and coordinated the analysis
and SC all contributed at the implementation of the AGN module within the fitting code BEAGLE

1. Predictions of the intensities of the main optical and ultraviolet emission-lines are available through http://www.iap.fr/neogal/models.html
2. Note that we consider a galactic attenuation curve (Cardelli et al., 1989)
for consistency with the fitting procedure used to derive the host galaxy stellar masses
3. For a direct translation between metallicity, Z, and Oxygen abundance we remind to Table 2 of Gutkin et al. (2016)
where solar metallicity Z⊙ = 0.01524 correspond to 12 + log(O/H) = 8.83

Nearly 600 pages that accompany the reader
whether he or she is a fine connoisseur of the Murano glassworks or just curious to know more
to discover not only the collection now housed in the Feltre museum
The collection is located on the second floor of the Carlo Rizzarda Gallery with a layout curated by Franzoia himself
who was already the creator of the museum’s exhibition set-up in 2000
Lesposition is a dive into the glass production of the 20th century
in his various collaborations with the Cappellin and Venini firms
But glass designed by many different personalities of the Murano twentieth century
such as Alessandro and Laura Diaz de Santillana
The first is devoted to the production of the firm Vetri Soffiati Muranesi Cappellin-Venini & C.
established in 1921 by Giacomo Cappellin and Paolo Venini
under the artistic direction of Vittorio Zecchin
and to the models created by Zecchin that continued to be produced by the firms that came into being after the dissolution of Cappellin-Venini
The second room documents the productions of the two manufactures
and Vetri Soffiati Muranesi Venini & C
Some of the objects refer to the presence in Murano of Carlo Scarpa (Venice
But the room houses many other examples of Venini’s production from the years between 1925 and 1960 and a miscellany of products from other firms active in the lagoon
is devoted to table glass: consumer objects
the section offers unimportant evidence of taste and custom
Most of the pieces in the collection refer to models created by Zecchin in the 1920s
but examples of Venetian glassware from an earlier age are also documented
such as a set of Louis XVI faceted crystal glass with gold decoration and a sampling of historicist glasses with polychrome enamel or wheel-engraved decoration
There are also table crystals of non-Murano production of Belle Époque taste and some examples of Bohemian glassware marketed in Venice by the Venice and Murano Company
The entire display is accompanied by a number of paintings and mosaics
all belonging to the Carla Nasci-Ferruccio Franzoia collection
A tool for understanding the collection in all its aspects
Here we find nearly 300 cards describing the glass exhibits
written in language that is easy to read even for those who do not chew technical terms
and we find the biographies of the various glassmakers and makers on display
But that’s not all: the photographic reproductions
make it possible to immerse oneself in the colors and shapes before and after the visit
The essays collected in the first part of the catalog allow the reader to fully understand the genesis of the museum
and the development and trends in Venetian and
Italian decorative arts during the last century
Tiziana Casagrande places the Nasci-Franzoia collection in the context of the Carlo Rizzarda Gallery
a collection that represents a coherent enrichment of the decorative arts museum established by bequest in his will by the celebrated master of wrought iron whose name it bears
a theme already present in the doriginal nucleus of the permanent exhibition: that of glass and color
which in the production of Rizzarda (Feltre
1931) is well present and in dialogue with iron
as the curator explains in the following pages
Rosa Barovier Mantovani recounts the relationship with the Murano tradition of the 15th and 16th centuries that is encountered in the glass of the Nasci-Franzoia collection
and transformations of the Murano glassworks over the centuries up to the rebirth of the 1920s and 1930s
going on to investigate the appearance on the scene of new Venetian productions in Italian exhibitions (biennials
going on to investigate motives and modes of a late explosion
This is followed by two essays devoted in particular to the figure of Vittorio Zecchin (Marino Barovier) and Carlo Scarpa (J.K
The section closes with a six-act dialogue with the collector
which allows for an in-depth investigation of his relationship with larte
the ways and means by which he and his wife Carla Nasci created their collection
A collection that today is for public enjoyment
for what Franzoia called at the press conference an act of love
having listened to the rest of the intervention
an act of love to the public and to museums
spaces where anyone can enjoy that collection
with a mandate to expand and continue to buy and collect works of contemporary art: as often happens
But the gallery remains a little gem for those who want to understand and admire the decorative arts of the Italian twentieth century
The municipality promises soon the publication of a second major catalog
on the wrought irons of the Rizzarda collection

According to the Daily Mirror
the group quickly hiked to the source of the sound and began calling out Masocco after being unable to locate her
They immediately called for an emergency rescue
and a responding helicopter tragically discovered the 26-year-old's body laying on a ledge below a cliff
couldn't reach Mariacristina's body until the next day due to difficult weather conditions
They reportedly took three of her friends down to the location
Masocco's death rocked the local community back in Feltre
where she is survived by her mother Angela
“The news that arrived this evening of the tragic death of the young Maria Cristina Masocco
which took place in the afternoon in the mountains
strikes us in a truly profound way,” lamented Viviana Fusaro
no words can soothe the intimate suffering of the mother
“I want to express to them the sincere closeness of the entire community
who joins in an embrace to their great pain.”

The tragedy comes amid a spate of hiking deaths reported across the globe. MEAWW recently reported how a Scottish hiker tragically died after falling from a mountain in the Highlands on September 17
was walking through Forcan Ridge on The Saddle at around noon when he lost his footing and fell backward off a rock face near the Isle of Skye
Scotland police responded to the location and managed to recover the climber's body with the assistance of the HM Coastguard helicopter and the Kintail and Glenelg mountain rescue teams
MEAWW also reported how a woman was hiking with her friends in Oregon's Columbus River gorge
a well-known tourist destination when she fell 100 feet off a trail and sustained significant head injuries
The incident occurred on August 19 on the Multnomah Falls-Larch Mountain Trail
Responding emergency workers discovered bystanders giving the woman CPR
declared dead on the spot.
