A day dedicated to memory and sharing, which will transform one of the city's symbolic places into a real open-air vintage set. The programme is rich and designed to involve people of all ages. It starts in the morning, at 10.30 am, with an animated visit and workshop for families and children in the rooms of the Lametino Archaeological Museum. In the afternoon, from 3.30 p.m., Piazza Mercato Vecchio will become the set for shooting the official Lira Day commercial: everyone is invited to participate wearing period clothing, to immerse themselves even more in the atmosphere of the 1960s. There will also be ‘old-fashioned’ games for children, organised by the operators of the Chiostro Caffè Letterario, in the San Domenico monumental complex, from 4:00 to 5:30 pm.

To enrich the day, there will be many details that will make the experience even more immersive: the exhibition of vintage cars and motorbikes, a vintage photo booth, the original ‘Lyre Tree’ and a station where, in just a few minutes, it will be possible to have one's hair styled as in the 1960s.

At the centre of the scene, Professor Agostino Toti, a teacher disillusioned and embittered by society, decides to challenge conventions with a daring gesture: to marry a young girl pregnant by another man. His choice becomes a provocation against hypocrisy and the masks society wears to hide its lack of moral principles. With his characteristic mix of irony and social criticism, Pirandello offers a profound and topical look at the fragility of values and human dynamics, returning a work full of food for thought and great emotional intensity. 18 January 2025 | Grandinetti Municipal Theatre, Lamezia Terme Street viewInterestedTheatricalNotre Dame De Paris7 - 9 May Last update: Jan 18, 2025 6:00 AMContent owned by the Calabria Region | Tourism and Commerce Department issued under CC-BY License One of the most eagerly awaited shows of the year is about to arrive in Calabria too: ‘They threw me to the wolves and I didn't come out the top’, the new show by Michela Giraud, queen of Italian stand-up comedy and the first comedian in our country to have a Netflix special distributed in 190 countries!

Commentare gli articoli di Lamezia Informa The hearing for more than 300 defendants opened in a specially constructed bunker on the sprawling grounds of an industrial park in the town of Lamezia Terme in Calabria, the toe of the boot-shaped Italian peninsula. Prosecutors are hoping the trial will be a decisive blow for the Calabrian-based ‘Ndrangheta, which has exploited tens of billions of dollars in cocaine revenues to extend its criminal reach across Europe and into several other continents. Anti-mafia prosecutor Nicola Gratteri said the trial was a turning point showing that the ‘Ndrangheta was finally being called out for its crimes and brought to face justice. “Decades ago, people would tremble when talking about Cosa Nostra or when using the word ’Ndrangheta, something they would say only in a hidden room, around the fireplace, whispering,” Gratteri said Wednesday as he arrived at the makeshift courthouse. “Today we are beginning to speak out in the open sunlight. “In the last two years, we can say we have been seeing a spike in complaints by businessmen, bullied citizens, victims of usury, people who for years have been subject to the pall of the ’Ndrangheta.” World & Nation Pope Francis’ campaign against corruption in the Catholic Church has made Italy’s most dangerous mafia organization “nervous,” which could make the prelate a target a leading Italian prosecutor warned Thursday Investigators say the ’Ndrangheta has established bases in much of Western, Northern and Central Europe The trial grew out of the investigation of 12 clans linked to a convicted ‘Ndrangheta boss who served 19 years in Italian prison for his role in leading what investigators say is one of the ‘Ndrangheta’s most powerful crime families The prosecution has indicated that it hopes to call more than 900 witnesses The trial is expected to last at least a year Among the accusations being considered by the court are drug- and arms-trafficking extortion and “Mafia association,” a term used in Italy’s penal code for members of organized crime groups Others are charged with complicity with the ’Ndrangheta without actually being members World & Nation Some 325 defendants were ordered to be tried in Lamezia Terme while about 90 more defendants in the investigation chose to have a fast-track trial which begins later this month elsewhere in Calabria a separate trial involving five murders begins in February The Lamezia Terme bunker is so vast that a score of video screens have been affixed to the ceiling so that participants can better view the proceedings There are rows of tables for some 600 lawyers to work with microphones and chairs safely distanced to respect coronavirus health rules While the numbers are impressive, this week’s trial isn’t Italy’s largest one against alleged mobsters. In 1986, in a similarly specially constructed bunker in Palermo, 475 alleged members of Cosa Nostra Those proceedings resulted in more than 300 convictions and 19 life sentences and helped reveal much about the brutal methods and murderous strategies of the top mob bosses on the island including sensational killings that bloodied the Palermo area during years of power struggles this trial against the ‘Ndrangheta is in large part aimed at gaining convictions for alleged connivance among mobsters and local politicians businessmen and members of secret lodges — an indication of how rooted the syndicate is in the territory Based almost entirely on blood ties the ‘Ndrangheta for decades was practically free of turncoats and informers But those ranks are starting to grow: Among those turning state’s evidence in the Lamezia Terme trial is a relative of Mancuso. Several dozen informants in the case come from the ‘Ndrangheta, but others are from the former ranks of Cosa Nostra in Sicily and could be called to testify. Awash in cocaine-trafficking revenues, the ‘Ndrangheta has gobbled up hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, car dealerships and other businesses throughout Italy, especially in Rome and the affluent north, criminal investigations have revealed. The buying spree in past years spread heavily across Europe, as the ’Ndrangheta sought to launder illicit revenues but also to make money by running legitimate businesses, including in the tourism and hospitality sectors, according to investigators.

About 2,500 officers participated in raids focused on suspects in Vibo Valentia the heart of an area controlled mainly by the ’Ndrangheta’s Mancuso clan arrested several suspects hiding in bunkers

Giancarlo Pittelli was given a jail term of 11 years by a court for aiding a mafia clan an anti-mafia prosecutor who led the investigation told the Guardian at the time of the raids that it was the biggest operation against the crime syndicates since the 1986-92 Palermo maxi trials when Sicilian prosecutors put 475 people in the dock Almost all of the defendants were arrested in December 2019

nephew Emanuele Mancuso, who revealed the clan’s secrets after accepting police protection the deputy chief prosecutor of the Calabrian capital said: “The clans of Vibo Valentia are rooted in every aspect of life and the economic and social fabric of the province This sentence demonstrates it and shows the absolute power of the Mancuso clan.” At one time derided by the Sicilian Cosa Nostra and the Campanian Camorra mafias the ’Ndrangheta is by far the most powerful criminal group in Italy and one of the richest in the world A study by the Demoskopita Research Institute in 2013 estimated it
