City became the latest to walk away from a publicly announced deal which involved numerous public entities and landowners appeared to collapse under the weight of its complexity The district agreed to numerous contract extensions while Larino tried to finalize the details and secure financing Larino walked away but not before demolishing the aging 102,000-square foot school building and completing some preliminary site work to the property the district decided to make a fresh attempt to sell the property and searched for a real estate broker that successful rezoning of property in that corridor and a planned overhaul of the U.S 65 and Chestnut Expressway interchange — plus future plans to relocate Eastgate Avenue — would correct many of the safety and congestion problems and make the area more appealing to a buyer which they believe contributed to the lack of a completed sale citing traffic congestion and safety concerns the district announced plans to sell the 15-acre property and routes in and out of the property clogged a nearby interchange "Now we are the point that we have a financially sound national retailer The district moved ahead with plans to relocate the elementary and middle school and opened a newly constructed Hickory Hills at 4650 E Fredrick said once the Menards deal is finalized the board will have to decide how to spend the proceeds "We haven't had that discussion yet," she said "We just know there's a lot of things we can do for kids with that amount of money." 2022 at 1:14 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Karina Larino was a longtime MTA worker

photographer passed away in his hometown of Larino in Italy on Monday — with his daughter Silvia Di Paolo confirming that he had “arrived at the end of his extraordinary life and left us this morning.” — MAXXI (@Museo_MAXXI) June 12, 2023 Di Paolo is considered one of Italy’s greatest reportage photographers shooting the country amid huge social change as it emerged from fascism in the 1950s to the mid-1960s much of his huge image archive remained unseen until a chance discovery by his daughter Silvia as she was searching for skis in a family cellar about twenty years ago she stumbled upon a cache of over 250,000 photo negatives who was by then a professor of history and philosophy about the photos he was initially reluctant to discuss them Tennesse Williams and Sophia

admitted that the photographs — which included black-and-white portraits of Brigitte Bardot and Marcello Mastroianni — were all taken by him Although his artistic abilities initially leaned toward painting he soon moved toward photography and become one of the country’s top photographers Paolo di Paolo, 1925-2023 💔 pic.twitter.com/2AnysGI9yW — Angelø (@mr5miiths) June 12, 2023 Di Paolo documented key figures of Italy’s post-war cultural renaissance for the now-defunct Il Mondo weekly magazine for over 14 years According to WWD some of his most famous images included Italian poet and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini portrayed on the outskirts of Rome the encounter between actress Gina Lollobrigida and artist Giorgio de Chirico and Anna Magnani sunbathing in her villa outside Rome a photo editor asked Di Paolo to bring in “some spice” to his images — a byword for a more aggressive style of the paparazzo Di Paolo refused to partake in the more scandalous photojournalism of the increasingly prevalent paparazzi and hung up his Leica camera for good placed 250,000 of his images in the basement and served as art director of the carabinieri Italy’s regional police force for the next 40 years It was not until his daughter Silvia’s accidentally exhumed her father’s photographs in the family’s cellar years later that Di Paolo’s work was revisited when instead of a pair of skis I was looking for in my parents’ home I found these photos made by my father?” Silvia recalls “It took more than twenty years to convince him to show these photos to the world.” Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli invited Di Paolo to Paris to photograph behind-the-scenes at the brand’s fashion show renowned photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber explored di Paolo’s life and work in a
