Giulia Martinengo Marquet (ITA) and the 11-year-old gelding Delta Del’Isle (Tibet Tame x Grain de Soleil) won Friday’s CSI5*-W 1.55m presented by Selleria Equipe as the 2024-edition of Jumping Verona in Italy got underway with its five-star action.  Twenty out of the 47 horse-and-rider combinations at start cleared the first-round track set by Italy’s very own Uliano Vezzani in this 1.55m competition counting for the Longines Rankings Group C with five riders opting not to return for the jump-off only four pairs managed to deliver another clear with Martinengo Marquet and Delta Del’Isle clocking the fastest time when crossing the finish line 35.87 seconds – much to the delight of the enthusiastic Italian crowds “I am so happy,” Martinengo Marquet said afterwards “It is a little bit like a home show for me He gives me the confidence to try hard and be fast I trust him so much and I believe he knows how much I love him I need to thank the big team that is behind Delta so there are many people I need to thank for this result.” Having posted the first clear in the jump-off Mario Stevens (GER) and Starissa (Stakkato Gold x Quidam’s Rubin) had to settle for second in 37.27 while Kevin Jochems (NED) and Camilla van de Helle (Crumble x Casall) placed third in 37.74 followed by Lara Tryba (FRA) and Memphis Z (Mylord Carthago x Candillo) in fourth in 39.86 The fifth place went to Julien Anquetin (FRA) and Farah Tame (Quadrio Tame x Panama Tame) who posted the fasted time in the competition – 33.73 – but paid for the risk with a fence down The second CSI5*-W class of the day – a 1.50m presented by Banca Passadore counting for the Longines Rankings Group D – went to Emanuele Gaudiano (ITA) and Nikolaj de Music (Kannan x Nabab de Reve) ahead of Barbara Schnieper (SUI) and Judy KM (Joly St Huber x Saphir von der Rossi) in second and Jérôme Guery (BEL) on Great Britain V (Nabab de Reve x Carolus H) in third © 2025 World of Showjumping - All rights reserved Powered by Artionet - Generated with IceCube2.Net Less than a month after the closing of the major exhibition The Renaissance in Brescia the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo starts again from March 11 2025 with a new exhibition proposal that enhances ancient art thanks to the collaboration between the Municipality of Brescia the Brescia Musei Foundation and theAteneo di Scienze which is part of the PTM program Andata e Ritorno features two neoclassical masterpieces: Two Socratic Scenes by Giovanni Battista Gigola (Brescia 1841) and The Birth of Venus by Giuseppe Bezzuoli (Florence 1784 - 1855).The initiative is part of the format devised by Brescia Musei which transforms departures related to loans into arrivals of works of great value thus giving visitors the opportunity to see masterpieces that dialogue with the permanent Collection of the Pinacoteca this format has enabled the museum to host works by artists of international caliber the two works on display will offer a new perspective on the themes covered by the museum’s collection The works on display have been recently restored and will be accompanied by two free notebooks that delve into the specifics of the works edited by Fernando Mazzocca for Two Socratic Scenes and Roberta D’Adda for The Birth of Venus Maria Repossi’s graphic design also oversaw the visual identity of this exhibition which emphasizes the historical and cultural value of the works was a leading figure in Italian Neoclassicism these works represent a fusion of the artist’s academic training and the influences he received from the Roman academies of the time both inspired by episodes from the life of Socrates are characterized by the refined use of colors and glazed tones which lend volume and depth to the figures depicted the scene dedicated to Agathon’s Convite with Alcibiades crowning Socrates derived from a drawing by Asmus Jacob Carstens is an example of the latter’s influence on Gigola combining the German artist’s visionary approach with the Brescian miniaturist’s chromatic sensibility The second miniature on display depicts Socrates rebuking Alcibiades caught in the gynaeceum The two scenes are an expression of a theme dear to neoclassical artists that of the dialogue between master and disciple and show Gigola’s acquisition of classical poetics reworked through his sensitivity and innovative techniques Gigola’s works were the subject of a delicate restoration that restored their full legibility The restoration involved both the pictorial surfaces and the antique frames restoring the original beauty of the works The intervention was conducted by Licia Zorzella whose work revealed all the artist’s technical expertise Giuseppe Bezzuoli’s The Birth of Venus is also an excellent example of Italian Neoclassicism which was initially cited as Galatea in historical inventories is closely linked to the history of Brescian collecting and the patronage of Paolo Tosio Bezzuoli sent the Brescian count a version of Raphael’s School of Athens but along with it he also delivered The Birth of Venus a work that would help solidify his reputation The composition recalls Raphael’s famous Triumph of Galatea with the figure of the goddess Venus emerging from the shell unlike the vividness of Raphael’s model Bezzuoli gives his Venus a cooler light and a bright color scheme reminiscent of the French painting style of the time such as the coral branch that the triton holds out to the goddess demonstrates the artist’s ability to treat classical themes with a refined and innovative visual language The PTM Andata e Ritorno exhibition is also an opportunity to further explore the history of Brescia’s artistic heritage The two works on display are part of a larger project to enhance the city’s heritage promoted by the Fondazione Brescia Musei in collaboration with the Ateneo di Scienze The latter received in 1857 the gift of Giovanni Battista Gigola’s works which had been kept by artist Angelo Inganni Gigola’s miniatures have long been the subject of exchanges and transfers of ownership with the Brescia Civic Museums and are now on public display after a long period of conservation in storage Fondazione Brescia Musei recently renewed its deposit agreement with the University of Brescia which received 46 works from the Tosio Collection for safekeeping confirming the strong collaboration between local institutions for the enhancement of the city’s historical and cultural heritage Fondazione Brescia Musei also organized a bimonthly meeting of the Lunch at the Museum with.. which provides short guided tours during the lunch break at the different museum venues will be dedicated precisely to the works of Gigola and Bezzuoli offering visitors a unique opportunity to discover these two masterpieces of Neoclassicism during an alternative and fascinating lunch break “It is with pleasure,” says Francesco Tomasini Brescia Municipality Councilor with responsibility for Cultural Activities “that we return today to present a new appointment of the successful format that Fondazione Brescia Musei has created to enhance the works of our Civic Collections: after last year’s appointment that featured a painting by Mantegna we are now presenting three works that have a profound significance in the very construction of Count Tosio’s collection and help us grasp the sensitivity he had in being a respectful and generous patron of artists to whom he never failed to provide support The PTM Andata e Ritorno project once again allows us to rediscover our heritage which we can now admire in the halls of this extraordinary palace a precious casket that holds our artistic heritage.” "With the new edition of the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo Andata e Ritorno format that we are presenting today actually inaugurates the 2025 exhibition season of Fondazione Brescia Musei," says Francesca Bazoli “Confirmed again this year is the great centrality of the civic heritage the subject of contini restorations and temporary exhibitions so that our public can constantly reflect on the history and richness of its Civic Collections represented by such outstanding scientific resources as the external one of Professor Fernando Mazzocca or internal forces such as conservator Roberta D’Adda allows the building of bridges of study and research essential to the constant maintenance of our heritage the collaboration with the Institute of the University of Brescia consolidates the presence of Brescia Musei as a bridge institution between the Administration and the city’s cultural scene which proves to be of the highest order on this occasion as well.” “Continuing in the fruitful collaboration that the Athenaeum of Brescia has undertaken with the Brescia Musei Foundation since 2018,” says Sergio Onger President Athenaeum of Brescia Academy of Sciences Letters and Arts "and which has seen the realization of numerous initiatives (suffice it to mention here the exhibitions held in Palazzo Tosio Dante and Napoleon Founding Myths in Early Nineteenth-Century Brescian Culture in 2021 and Luigi Basiletti and the Ancient in 2023) we gladly collaborated on the exhibition curated by Fernando Mazzocca entitled Giovanni Battista Gigola These are two works given in 1857 by Angelo Inganni to the Athenaeum from Gigola’s widow Today’s press conference is also an opportunity to make public the loan agreement recently signed with Fondazione Brescia Musei With this we have formalized the presence in Palazzo Tosio of the 39 works of art that had been transferred here in 2018 on the occasion of the setting up of the house museum which arrived following the 2023 exhibition which will arrive soon to complete the arrangement of the first room in the east wing as it was in the first arrangement of the Pinacoteca in Palazzo Tosio in 1851 The Athenaeum hopes that after the exhibition in the Pinacoteca the two Socratic scenes by Giovanni Battista Gigola can be added to the artist’s other works housed in the alcove of Palazzo Tosio (last admission 5:15 p.m.) - June 1 to Sept Reduced over 65 and concessionary € 12.00 special publics and combined exhibition € 8.00 The temporary exhibition of ‘Due scene socratiche’ (Two Socratic Scenes) by Giovanni Battista Gigola is part of the programme PTM ANDATA E RITORNO the format of Fondazione Brescia Musei that transforms the ‘departures’ linked to loan requests into ‘arrivals’ of guest works: an opportunity to welcome masterpieces into the rooms of the Pinacoteca that dialogue with the permanent collection giving Brescians and tourists the opportunity to constantly reinterpret the rooms of the Museum according to new interpretations and new points of view Room XX of the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo sees the paintings by Andrea Appiani leave for the Musée National des Châteaux de Malmaison et de Bois-Préau that it usually hosts (the Madonna and Sleeping Child of c 1810) and that will be included in the important monographic exhibition Andrea Appiani (1754-1817) Le peintre de Napoléon en Italie (from 16 March at the Château de Bois-Préau) The occasion has thus made it possible to bring to the public’s attention by an artist also linked to the Napoleonic court appointed miniature portraitist of the Viceroy of Italy The two sophisticated works of neoclassical taste by Giovanni Battista Gigola (1767-1841) protagonists of the exhibition and a unicum in the Brescian artist’s production can be traced back to a fundamental moment in his artistic training namely the stay he spent in Rome in the last decade of the 18th century In the papal city Gigola met and frequented the most avant-garde circles and academies where neoclassical poetics was being elaborated the stimuli that were later fundamental for his original experiments Gigola’s degree of updating and insertion into the Roman environment is well documented by the episode dedicated to Agathon’s Banquet with the scene of Alcibiades crowning Socrates which is punctually derived from a magnificent drawing by Asmus Jacob Carstens (1754-1798) that the Brescian probably had the opportunity to admire in 1795 on the occasion of an exhibition of the German artist’s works exerted a profitable influence on his contemporaries a faithful translation of the original graphic invention is characterised by saturated colours and glazed tones that enhance the volumes of the figures The artist matured an astonishing chromatic sensitivity also thanks to his knowledge of the debate on the ancient encaustic technique which developed at the time in the Roman environment among artists Gigola produced a pendant of the same size in which he depicted in a very similar composition and with the same stylistic imprint a widely diffused classical subject: Socrates scolds Alcibiades caught in the gynaecium The striking thematic and formal affinity between the two miniatures dedicated to Socratic subjects can be attributed to two alternative hypotheses: Gigola may have been inspired by another watercolour by Carstens that has been lost in the course of time demonstrating his maturity at the end of his Roman sojourn he may have attempted an original invention of his own in any case inspired by the prototype to which he had already paid homage it was also possible to enhance the two works through restoration work by Licia Zorzella which involved the painted surfaces and antique frames Restoring the full legibility of the subjects allows us to admire the technical expertise of Gigola an undisputed master in the art of miniature painting Registered Office: via Musei 81 - 25121 Brescia Educational Services and Public Engagement Do not miss the events and activities of the museums Giulia Martinengo Marquet secured a home win aboard Delta Del'Isle in the CSI5*-W 1m55 Selleria Equipe World Cup Qualifier After Emanuele Gaudiano's one-two punch in the first two races of the day of the CSI5*-W at Jumping Verona Italy closed a fantastic tris with Giulia Martinengo Marquet in Prize No the fourth leg of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ 2024-2025 in which 15 of the 20 riders promoted from the base course took part an 11-year-old Selle Français gelding the 45-year-old Friulian-born and Veneto-adopted horsewoman achieved the fastest of the four clear rounds of the barrage (35“87) outdistancing German Mario Stevens (37”27 The next three courses were not error-free kissed first by her husband Stefano Cesaretto and then by her daughter Bianca The podium was completed by Dutchman Kevin Jochems (37“74 the other net from the barrage was achieved by French rider Lara Tryba (39”86 at the stable we call him ‘the Prince ’ - the words of a moved Giulia - And I am proud of my whole team Jumping Verona is my home horse competition for me so a victory like this is even more special On the course I felt incredible joy after the decisive net because he advised me to ride wide and not tight before the cage-that was really valuable!" today's was the second career victory in the Jumping Verona arena following her 2014 victory with Pop Lady d'Elle Results “What drives me is a total passion for horses; getting to know them learning to understand them and feeling like they understand me,” Italy’s Giulia Martinengo Marquet tells World of Showjumping “I am lucky to have a very supportive husband He takes care of a lot; he manages the whole team which makes it possible for me to focus solely on riding.”  With the 11-year-old Delta Del’Isle (Tibet Tame x Grain de Soleil) the 45-year-old placed fifth in the CSI5* 1.60m Rolex Grand Prix in Windsor and in the CSIO5* 1.60m Intesa Sanpaolo Nations Cup in Rome the two delivered a clear in the second round for the Italian team While she might not be a regular face within the five-star circuit week in and week out Martinengo Marquet keeps surfacing successfully time and time again her influence is felt through the horses she has produced for the highest level such as Jeanne Sadran’s Jiamo VDS (Thunder vd Zuuthoeve x Carolus II) and Derin Demirsoy’s Elzas (Diamant de Semilly x Cornet Obolensky) Martinengo Marquet competed at the 2019 FEI Jumping European Championships in Rotterdam (NED) – one of the five Europeans she has done between 1998 and 2019.  Martinengo Marquet comes from the east of Italy “My mother was fully addicted to horses and very passionate about the sport,” she tells about her family and my older brother Riccardo rides as well.”  Martinengo Marquet lives in the north of Italy close to Lake Garda – between Verona and Milan where she runs SGH stables that is focused on producing and selling talented showjumpers “We thought about moving abroad when we first started our business,” she explains we enjoy the Italian lifestyle and decided to stay –  and I think it's the best choice we ever made it is still close enough to central Europe We usually start the season in Spain and from March to May we are mostly in Italy and then during the summer we try to compete a little bit more abroad.”  What drives me is a total passion for horses; getting to know them learning to understand them and feeling like they understand me between the young ones and the older ones,” she continues “We always had the same format; we select and buy young horses breed a few from our top mares and develop them. Since the overall number of horses has grown we normally have either one or two jumping riders working with us We keep the four-year-olds at a different place to slowly start their jumping career We always want them to stay quite a long time in the field We don't stress them too much; they come over to our place when they are five. At the moment we have quite a large group between the youngsters and the experienced ones but only a few of them are ready for the highest level.” “If you would ask Stefano what excites him the most it is going around and scouting for horses developing that potential and then selling the horse further; it is not only a matter of money to keep the business running – the satisfaction comes as a reward for the work done and what we believe in,” Martinengo Marquet says.  Martinengo Marquet’s sports career has also been made possible by her enrollment in the Italian Air Force for the past 19 years “I am very thankful for their support,” she says.  Martinengo Marquet met her husband Stefano twenty years ago and the two started a business and a family together; their daughter Bianca was born in 2013 Stefano put his international riding career on hold to focus more on managing giving Giulia the opportunity to pursue her goals in the sport “I'm lucky that Stefano takes care of so much It's a big privilege and something that makes a huge difference I am aware that many colleagues have to talk with the owners and clients I am thankful to be in a position where I can put my telephone away when I get to the horses and give my full focus to them I am also very thankful to all the sponsors that support us.“ I had to learn to be proud seeing so many horses we have produced go on to do well buying and selling has always been our business but I must say that it is something I had to learn to cope with,” she continues I could feel a touch of frustration when a horse got sold Building a young horse up for years and then seeing them leave just when I believed they were ready for the big sport was challenging It was like turning a big switch in my mind; I had to learn to be proud seeing so many horses we have produced go on to do well but most of the horses I rode in the biggest classes or at championships were horses we bought when they were young and produced ourselves The bond you create when it starts this way is something fantastic I love to know my horses inside out; it's something that motivates me.” When it comes to riding and managing her horses “I'm quite stubborn in trying to understand my horses,” she explains about her approach “I feel like I'm failing if I don't understand a horse I try to figure them out and in the end I'm so proud if I feel that they improve Stefano helps me train and manage the stables every single day We have worked with Michel Robert and Jos Kumps because we appreciate getting an opinion from the outside.” I feel like I'm failing if I don't understand a horse “It's the way we like to work and a system that we believe in I was taught to work with a long-term plan He shows the world that it is possible to do this sport on the highest level while staying true to your own core values And this is what I always want to believe in; not showing more and more every year In an environment that offers so many possible excuses sustainable way to be a part of this sport – even at the very top.” “Each of us make decisions based on our own visions of the sport and how we want to treat our horses,” she points out “I think that each rider can make a choice every time they enter a horse to a competition.”  As equestrian sports return to Paris 124 years after becoming part of the Olympic family its stakeholders are under more pressure than ever as horse welfare concerns are increasing but maybe not enough horsemanship,” Martinengo Marguet says when asked how she sees the current situation “I think that too often patience and skills to develop a horse go missing All stakeholders in our sport should have a better understanding of what horse welfare is truly about.”  I strongly feel that in all our decisions and daily pursuits we should never forget that the basis of everything is our love for the horse many riders are super talented in the saddle but I feel there is still a knowledge gap on other aspects of the sport,” she continues I believe we have the responsibility to share more of our horsemanship and professional management skills This also includes a better understanding of the economics connected to this sport; we cannot hide from what that entails I think we should remind ourselves every now and then about the reasons we first started The truth is that the horses are the main actors in our sport; anyone of us can be a superstar with a superstar of a horse I really believe that we as riders can only be as good as our horses and we should always put them first.”  While Martinengo Marquet has found her way combining motherhood and a sports career it is not an easy feat by any means and something she believes not everyone can do “I have a wonderful team behind me,” she explains “I try to be done at the stables before Bianca comes home from school so she doesn't only see her mother on a horse I take her to the shows when there's something interesting to see – other than horses – and every now and then I allow her to miss school so that she can travel with us Sometimes she stays at school until Friday and then joins us so that we can be together without forfeiting her education.”  I'm absolutely sure that it is far more challenging for women “I'm really proud to say that our sport is the only sport where men and women compete together,” she continues We have to combine raising a family with our sport careers and not everyone is lucky enough to have a big Stefano decided to stop his sport career to give me a chance and it is more common to see it the other way around I think it is an attitude in our society; we are used to seeing women in a certain role pursuing a professional career often means moving abroad which leaves many women to build a family a business and a sport career without their closest support net – and that is not easy Many women are forced to make a decision and many times it leads to them putting their career aside.”   the sport is very demanding now,” Martinengo Marquet points out “The system kind of pushes you to compete every week: If you look at the ranking every single month I enjoy national shows with the young or less experienced horses it was also a conscious choice; I want to stay close to Bianca “It's really easy for me to speak like this because I'm so happy,” Martinengo Marquet concludes good professional people around me and I believe in the way we are doing things in a family where horses always came first having this mindset is not complicated for me; it’s not a difficult choice I’m happy with the balance between doing shows on different levels I feel blessed and happy to be there; happy for myself There are so many things and so many dreams that I still want to chase but I don’t worry about climbing the ranks If it happens because we are doing really well I like to look at the ranking only to see if I'm doing better than before where we don’t have an endless amount of top horse-and-rider combinations means that if I have a good horse and we have good results Those shows are the best chance for me to improve my ranking for the string of horses that I have right now jumping five to six five-star shows in a year is a good number I would like to jump again at the Europeans and I never competed at the World Championships or the Olympics; there are so many things and so many dreams that I still want to chase.”  4.6.2024 No reproduction

Palazzo Martinengo will host an exhibition that will have as its theme the Belle Époque a historical period marked by prosperity and artistic fervor between the late 19th and early 20th centuries The exhibition is titled La Belle Époque Art in the Paris of Boldini and De Nittis.The event is organized by the Friends of Palazzo Martinengo Association under the patronage of the Province of Brescia the Municipality of Brescia and the Fondazione Provincia di Brescia Eventi Curated by art historians Francesca Dini and Davide Dotti the exhibition will offer a journey through the Paris Belle Époque many from private collections rarely accessible to the public and from prestigious museum institutions the Giovanni Boldini Museum in Ferrara and the Museo Civico di Palazzo Te in Mantua The works on display are the result of the talent of Italian artists who lived in Paris during those years These painters knew how to conquer the French capital and its refined bourgeoisie depicting in their canvases the crowded squares Their works became true icons of modernity and progress recounting through a unique style the beauty and elegance of everyday Parisian life are portrayed in intimate moments and in moments of leisure representing the charm and grace of the era The exhibition is organized in an exhibition itinerary divided into nine sections evoking the themes and atmosphere of the Belle Époque Prominent among the masterpieces on display are Boldini’s famous Portrait of a Lady in White one of the icons of painting of the era; De Nittis’s Beside the Pond in the Luxembourg Gardens which captures a quiet moment in the hustle and bustle of the city; and Zandomeneghi’s Al Café Nouvelle Athènes which immerses the viewer in the lively atmosphere of Parisian cafés centers of sociability and intellectual confrontation The selection also includes a collection of elegant women’s dresses made by the most renowned Parisian tailors which embellish the exhibition by adding an authentic touch to the historical re-enactment There is also no shortage of examples of so-called “advertising art”: the posters that advertised fashionable establishments The works of famous illustrators such as Leonetto Cappiello with their bright hues and modern typefaces highlighting the importance of design and graphics in the visual art of the Belle Époque Completing the exhibition will be artistic glassware by Emile Gallé and the Daum brothers made using refined techniques such as engraving which adorned the homes of the Parisian bourgeoisie and testify to the excellence of design of the period The Belle Époque represents a historical period in which French art exerted a profound influence on artists throughout Europe including the Italians who found Paris a culturally stimulating and modernizing environment which took place in Paris and welcomed exhibitors from all over the world promoted the image of France as an advanced and progressive nation stimulating artists to experiment with new techniques and languages Prominent among them were the so-called "Italians of Paris,“ a term coined by critic Diego Martelli to describe painters such as De Nittis and Boldini who knew how to depict everyday Parisian life with an unmistakable style creating what is known as the ”tranche de vie" genre a snapshot of Parisian life captured in its most spontaneous and authentic moments The exhibition also offers an opportunity to delve into the artistic evolution of Federico Zandomeneghi a Venetian painter who embraced the Impressionist style with originality characterizing his paintings with a bright and colorful palette exalting the female figure in intimate and natural poses with his sensitivity and technical virtuosity poignantly portrays the youth of southern Italy while Vittorio Corcos succeeds in immortalizing the joy and carefreeness of the Belle Époque desired and celebrated throughout the world Through the works of these Italian artists Palazzo Martinengo

driving dramatic improvements in efficiency sustainability and operational performance for crane operations globally The world’s first container was invented in 1956 by Malcolm Purcell McLean who revolutionized logistics by transporting containers by sea from New Jersey to Houston 2001) was an American entrepreneur and trucking magnate known for developing modern intermodal container transportation to a family that was far from wealthy but not entirely without resources young Malcolm learned that an oil company needed a manager for the Red Spring gas station and a family friend lent him the money to buy his first load of gasoline His rise began when he discovered that a truck driver was earning five dollars to supply the gas station with oil from Fayetteville which was 45 km away: McLean applied for the job McLean Trucking Company opened in March 1934 Family ties came in handy again: An acquaintance agreed to sell McLean a used dump truck for $3 a week The key to McLean Trucking’s success was an obsessive focus on cutting costs A trucking company could only hope to attract new customers if it offered lower rates than its competitors His creative mind was constantly churning out ideas for how to make money fearing for the fate of his business because of crowded highways and competition from national shipping lines which could buy military freighters from the government for next to nothing he had a brilliant idea: Instead of traveling along the busy coastal highways why not put the trailers on ships and ferry them up and down the coast McLean proposed new coastal terminals that would allow trucks to drive up ramps and deposit trailers aboard purpose-built ships These ships would carry trailers between North Carolina avoiding traffic jams at a time when highways were few and poorly connected other trucks would pick up the trailers and carry them to their destination the American entrepreneur made the gamble of his life by selling his trucking company for $25 million to buy the Pan Atlantic shipping company from Waterman Steamship Corporation McLean changed his plans again: loading truck trailers onto ships was not cost-effective since the wheels would take up too much space McLean came up with an even more radical idea A government program had made surplus World War II oil tankers available to shipping companies at rock-bottom prices Pan-Atlantic would buy two of them and convert them to transport truck bodies This would reduce the space occupied by each trailer by a third a truck would pull up alongside the ship and the body the trailer body would be lowered onto an empty chassis and transported to its destination a hundred or so managers ate lunch at the Port of Newark watching the crane place a container every seven minutes on the Ideal-X while the tanker was loaded with liquid products Legend has it that as the ship was pulling away from the dock a leader of the International Longshoremen’s Association “I’d love to sink that son of a bitch.” The old union man also had a far-sighted mind and had sensed that the container would revolutionize transportation he sold Sea-Land to tobacco entrepreneur Reynold for $530 million in 1978 and built a fleet of 4,400-TEU container ships 78-year-old McLean founded another company which still operates between Florida and Puerto Rico Trailer Bridge annually awards the Malcom P McLean Innovative Spirit Award in his honor McLean’s shipping company was renamed Sea-Land Service Malcolm McLean was far from being the “inventor” of container shipping McLean realized that reducing the cost of shipping goods required more than just a metal crate; it required an entirely new system of handling cargo and the work of his customers—had to change This realization made his ideas significantly different from anyone else in the transportation industry His insight ushered in changes so radical that even experts at the International Container Bureau who had been trying to promote containers for years One leader of the organization later confessed “We didn’t realize at the time that there was a revolution going on in the United States.” McLean is mentioned in Filippo Lubrano’s novel “Radici aerea” (Edizioni Leucotea) in which a mystery shopper meets McLean’s son in Bangkok and discusses the social and economic impact of the innovation systematized by his father the 40 million containers circulating in the world use the external side walls to identify ONLY the owner or ONLY the user Just look around to realize “how much advertising space is NOT used on the external side walls of the maritime containers that transport the goods to their destination” the external walls of the containers in the world do NOT promote ANYTHING where it is needed

ITS Martinengo Test Launches ASTER 30 Missile The event marked the fourth scheduled firing by a FREMM frigate conducted using an instrumented telemetry missile (procured by the OCCAR-EA FSAF-PAAMS Programme Division) managed by OCCAR according to the FREMM contract was previously performed by the ITS Bergamini both in autonomous and integrated mode This new success showcases the reliability of the Surface Anti Air Missile providing both Self Defence and Extended Self Defence  (SAAM ESD) system installed on board the Italian FREMM frigates the outstanding capabilities of the SAAM ESD against missiles simulated by a Mirach 40 target planned in a such complex scenario never verified by previous firings proves the effective cooperation among PISQ the OCCAR-EA FREMM and FSAF-PAAMS Programme Divisions and the Industries involved” OCCAR (Organisation Conjointe de Coopération en matière d’Armement / Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation) is an international organisation whose core-business is the through life management of cooperative defence equipment programmes ITS Martinengo is the third of six Bergamini-class FREMM frigates (in “General Purpose” variant) of the Italian Navy The vessel built by Fincantieri was launched in March 2017 and commissioned in April 2018 “General Purpose” FREMM frigates of the Italian Navy are fitted with 2x A50 Sylver Vertical Launching System (VLS) for a total of 16x ASTER 15 or ASTER 30 surface to air missiles by MBDA The last two FREMM Frigates for the French Navy, known as FREMM DA will also be fitted with the ASTER 30: They will feature 4x Sylver A50 VLS for a total of 32x MBDA ASTER 15 or ASTER 30 ASW variant FREMM Frigates Bretagne and Normandie (Aquitaine-class) can also deploy 16x ASTER 30 thanks to 2x Sylver A50 VLS the missile is set to eventually be deployed aboard air defense destroyers of the UK (Type 45) Studies for the integration of Aster 30 B1NT missiles aboard the Forbin-class (to provide them with Ballistic Missile Defence BMD capability) are provisioned in the 2019-2025 French military planning law The Italian Navy is set to get this capability in 2024 with the delivery of its first PPA (Pattugliatore

the French naval base in Abu Dhabi Commanding officer Roberto Carpinelli said: “The integration of ITS Martinengo into EMASOH highlights the importance in operating in a multinational context through the centrality of European countries as an effective tool for developing the concept of collaborative security at sea The operation represents a very significant moment as an expression of cohesion between all countries involved and it will show the high level of interoperability of the assets aimed to ensure freedom of navigation reassure civilian shipping and the free flow of global commerce operating in full compliance with International Law,” The ITS Martinengo embarks two SH-90 ASuW/ASW helicopters and personnel of the Navy Aviation 4th Helicopter Group from Grottaglie air station (near Taranto) and a San Marco Navy Brigade boarding team The EMASOH initiative was launched by France in January 2020 based on a common political statement with Belgium and more recently being supported by a ninth nation: Norway The Italian Government approved the participation and deployment of national assets to the initiative last June with the reiteration by Italian Parliament last September of its international commitments for 2021 These are pursued to counter terrorism and stabilize the ‘Enlarged Mediterranean’ area extending outside the Mare Nostrum basin into the Atlantic Ocean down to the Gulf of Guinea According to the documentation released to Italian Parliament the European nations naval and airborne assets participation to EMASOH is aimed mainly at protecting national merchant shipping strengthening cooperation with other initiatives in the area and contributing to the “maritime situational awareness” of the region’s naval and air space These assets will also take the necessary measures to prevent and deter hostile acts against national merchant shipping This is the first time Italy joins EMASOH in a military way, parallel to the political track. The Italian Navy frigate is expected to participate to the mission for three months.  ITS Martinengo has relieved the French Navy Aquitaine-class FS Languedoc (D 653) frigate that has been deployed to AGENOR for over 4 months the French frigate two crews conducted 15 crossings of the Strait of Hormuz (SoH) monitoring the merchant shipping of the 9 participating countries and 7 crossings with close monitoring of dedicated vessels In this way contributing to the security and freedom of navigation despite extreme weather conditions and COVID 19 constraints made possible thanks to the commitment of the Chinese and Italian-Chinese Association of Genoa and Liguria and the Association of Chinese Women in Liguria with the patronage of the Chinese Consulate of Genoa and Florence and the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Florence Yin Qi flexibility and creativity: values ​​deeply rooted in Chinese culture and perfectly in line with the challenges and opportunities that await us for the development of Genoa In parallel with the Lunar New Year 2025 Celebration Genoa remembers and Wishes Happy Birthday to Ms the Chinese Princess par excellence who loves Italy one of the most influential Chinese leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) (中國共產黨 former director of the China Development Bank former deputy governor of the Central Bank of China and since 1998 head of the China Development Bank the largest public investment institution in the world “…The Chinese and Italian-Chinese community of Genoa represents a vital part of our city their culture and their ability to build bridges between tradition and innovation and thanks to the collaboration with the Chinese community we can continue to grow together I express my deep gratitude to all those who make these moments of sharing possible strengthening the bonds between our cultures” – says Dr Davide Falteri who represented Pietro Piciocchi on the occasion of the Lunar New Year Party organized at the Tower Genova Airport Hotel & Conference Center “…Last night I had the honor of representing the Mayor of Genoa at the Chinese New Year Concert hosted in the evocative setting of the Auditorium of Palazzo Rosso organized by the Nicolò Paganini Conservatory was an exciting musical journey that intertwined the melodies of Chinese tradition with the classics of Western music creating a true dialogue between cultures” “…A special thanks to the extraordinary artists and organizers: Prof Roberto Mingarini for the magnificent piano accompaniment” – said finally Dr Davide Falteri – “This concert was not only a musical event but a symbol of the openness and valorization of intercultural dialogue that makes Genoa an increasingly international city Text © World of Showjumping by Nanna Nieminen Giulia Martinengo Marquet – one of Italy’s best riders – finds herself in the middle of one of the worst affected areas of the coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak: In northern Italy between Bergamo and Brescia "The situation here is really critical,” Giulia tells World of Showjumping “When everything exploded back in February I was still in Spain at the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour in Oliva Nova and all shows in Italy were being cancelled we moved on to the Sunshine Tour," Giulia continues the situation got out of hand in Spain as well and everything got called off We had to rent a car and drive home; it was impossible for us to get flights back to Italy." but I think that I have never before felt as lucky as I do right now," Giulia says "We live in the countryside and in our stable we are living quite a normal life the daily routine has not changed all that much As I am a member of the national A-squad I can still ride we are at the moment the only group in Italy allowed to do so. In such times one acknowledges that having chosen this type of lifestyle really makes a difference the neighbourhood community has really come together and organised everything so that food gets delivered to our homes – with a couple of phone calls we can get what we need I feel truly lucky and privileged to lead a normal life amid all this when I know that close by people are locked in their apartments."  While the situation in Italy has gone from bad to worse Giulia still manages to look for light at the end of the tunnel "I also think there can be something positive coming out of this crisis It seems to me that no matter what kind of life you lead or job you have Even though I think I usually take a lot of time with my horses I have time to follow the four-year-olds we have bred in Sgh Stables Just to tidy up is so important; you put order in your mind and order around you we are slowing down in everything we do and the pressure as well as the idea of a timeline has vanished it is even more clear to me than before why we work with horses: Because we love what we do."  the IOC announced that the Olympic Games 2020 will be postponed – but that came as no surprise to Giulia I tried to imagine how we could have had horses and riders ready without shows Who could jump the Olympics after such a long break The original timeline would not have been in compliance with the Olympic spirit postponement was the only solution," the 41-year-old rider says my plan was to enjoy some good shows and maybe do a few Nations Cups – which I really love," Giulia tells about her pre-corona goals "The 2020-aim was to develop the nice group of eight-year-old horses that I have I was lucky with my tours in the beginning of the year as my horses had five weeks of shows they jumped in different arenas and proved that they are all brave Even if a long break now may be a bit boring Three months of rest would be possible to handle but let's hope it will be less than that," she says it is going to be what it is going to be – I am that kind of person My aim now is to keep my horses fit and happy and ready to go when the moment comes copyright © World of Showjumping Photographer Zachary Handley and stylist Benoit Martinengo travel to the streets of Marrakech to capture the laidback eclecticism of the spring/summer 2023 menswear collections Taken in and around the ancient desert city’s Medina – from colourful sun-lit souks and busy car-filled streets in the heat of the day to sprawling rooftops and quiet whitewashed courtyards at dusk – the photographic series captures the mood of laidback eclecticism which suffused the spring/summer 2023 menswear season epitomised by collections from designers Grace Wales Bonner Véronique Nichanian at Hermès and Alessandro Sartori at Zegna Whether a vivid pink hooded cardigan by British designer Molly Goddard photographed against a bright blue Moroccan sky, the easy line of a wide-legged Prada trouser worn with a gently oversized chequered blouson colourful summertime knitwear – striped Lacoste crocheted Hermès and argyle Wales Bonner among the mix – it is a rich and eclectic blueprint for dressing for the warmer months which lie ahead Discover Handley and Martinengo’s transporting series Model: Anass Bouazzaoui at The Claw Models Special thanks to Riad Jardin Secret hotel riadjardinsecret.com Receive our daily digest of inspiration, escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox. Fashion Features EditorJack Moss is the Fashion Features Editor at Wallpaper* Having previously been the digital features editor at AnOther and digital editor at 10 and 10 Men magazines he has also contributed to titles including i-D while also featuring in Dazed: 32 Years Confused: The Covers He is particularly interested in the moments when fashion intersects with other creative disciplines – notably art and design – as well as championing a new generation of international talent and reporting from international fashion weeks he has interviewed the fashion industry’s leading figures While Spain’s Sergio Alvarez Moya already has voiced his opinions when it comes to the 2021 Europeans Italy’s leading lady rider Giulia Martinengo Marquet now shares her view on the topic “The more I think about having two major championships in the same year I think I speak for most professional riders when I say that we do what we do every day because we have a dream – we are not in this only for the business We train every single day to reach our goals but this year the Covid-19 pandemic has eradicated most of them we all still need goals to reach for – even if they might be a little far away,” Giulia says the country can only send one individual jumping combination to the Olympics as they did not qualify with a team good horse-and-rider combinations never even get the chance to go to a championship Maybe 2021 could turn out to be a year where new combinations can show up and get a chance they deserve championships are what makes the difference – also when it comes to sponsors and owners,” Giulia points out.  “We can’t exclude that the Olympics end up being postponed again – or even worse if a decision was made now to cancel the European Championships in 2021 is that the level of the sport is so high as of today that to run two major championships in the same year it is indeed feasible and can only can be seen as a fantastic opportunity for both riders and owners,” Giulia says.  “The economic – and possible political – consequences are something I as a rider can’t fully appreciate I don’t see any reason why we should not aim for both the Europeans and the Olympics in 2021. Surely this might be different from discipline to discipline but for jumping we should support it the best way we can instead of accepting a ‘no go',” Giulia continues.  The European Championships is one of FEI’s own flagship events together with the Nations Cup series and the World Cup series and Giulia quickly points out an important link in this chain which would be the case for several riders should the Europeans be cancelled I can imagine it could be hard to fully motivate the athletes as well as the horse owners to take part in the Nations Cup events There are normally so many other lucrative CSI shows to choose from so I can easily imagine that many would make their priorities based on prize money instead,” she says horse welfare can also not be used as an argument to cancel the Europeans This is a matter of either good planning or careful sports career choices.”  The gym at Lambuth Memorial United Methodist Church on Campbell Street in Jackson looked like a fun assembly line As music blared over the loudspeakers in the room about 100 youth group members from six churches in the Jackson area sang along and had fun while dumping rice soy protein and other measured dry substances into bags through funnels Every so often the melody of the tunes would be interrupted by a loud noise from a gong and a reactive cheer “That means they’ve assembled another thousand food packets,” said Matthew Barrick youth director at Medina First United Methodist Church “We’re trying to get 10,000 of these put together today.” The effort was in conjunction with Rise Against Hunger an international organization with a goal to try to eliminate world hunger by 2030 Simon Martinengo represents Rise Against Hunger in its Nashville office and helps coordinates events across the state like the one at Lambuth Memorial last week Groups can have events in which Rise Against Hunger will supply the ingredients for the meals for preparation and the host group simply needs to provide the people to put everything together “We want to do what we can to eliminate world hunger in our lifetime and we put a deadline of 2030 on that,” Martinengo said “Twelve years might sound like plenty of time to do that but when you’re talking about a goal of something like making sure world hunger is eradicated 12 years isn’t a lot of time.” Barrick said some people affiliated with the youth groups of the Methodist churches around Jackson had been involved with Rise Against Hunger events elsewhere and this seemed like a good cause to help in changing how they do things we wanted to serve together instead of what we usually do helping in smaller groups in various ways across the city,” Barrick said about 100 kids working at different stations getting these bags put together and we’re making progress in putting 10,000 bags together.” The end result of the assembly line was a bag that had a full meal in it and different things to provide a well-balanced meal “Then we take the bags that are assembled and send them out to places in Africa South America and Asia that are in need of food,” Martinengo said “We have four ways that we try to eliminate hunger: through emergency relief empowering communities and growing food.” Efforts like packing meals at Lambuth Memorial help in emergency relief “We wanted to do something that will have a far-reaching impact far-reaching in space and area geographically like the impact could be felt years down the road,” Barrick said “And if we can be a very small part of an effort to eliminate world hunger that’s something we’re glad to be a part of “One thing we’ve talked about this week is making sure our faith is authentic and you can’t have a true impact not being real and begin to have an impact like that on those around them more than they did before this week.” Scuderia 1918 sets up a new partnership at the top level of showjumping After buying half of Halifax van het Kluizebos and starting a cooperation with Stephex Stables Scuderia 1918 has signed an agreement with Giulia Martinengo Marquet who rides for the Italian Air Forces.This partnership includes the joint-ownership of some of the present top jumpers of the Italian lady rider but it also contemplates purchasing some new young talented horses that will all compete with the affix Scuderia 1918 “I have always admired Giulia Martinengo Marquet – Maria Anchisi said –  and not only for her refined technique for the elegance of her style and for her fighting spirit in the ring Giulia has a very high level of professionalism that she developed together with her husband Stefano Cesaretto but also a careful management of her horses from the ground according to the progression of their sports career This approach completely reflects the philosophy of Scuderia 1918.” Giulia Martinengo Marquet is also really pleased: “I’m enthusiastic about this new partnership and I hope this is just the beginning of a long story This project is the chance I never had before It is a lifelong dream coming true!” the Italian rider said has been representing Italian showjumping wearing the Air Forces uniform in the most important international rings for years.Together with wins and placings in CSI and CSIO she has taken part in two editions of the European Championships She is also the only Italian lady rider capable of winning the Italian Championships twice so far and she holds the title to this day after winning the gold medal in Arezzo in 2018 aboard Verdine SZ With the same mare she contributed to the success of the Italian team in the FEI Nations Cup at CSIO Rome 2018 Giulia is also the co-founder of SGH Stables together with Stefano Cesaretto Scuderia 1918 founded by Emanuele and Maria Anchisi,

Clouds Never Say Hello is the title of the exhibition by Gabriele Picco (Brescia a visual artist and writer who is exhibiting his art in his hometown in the solo show curated by Claudio Musso The exhibition is scheduled from July 7 to September 18 2022 in the spaces of Palazzo Martinengo Cesaresco Novarino Organized in collaboration with Provincia di Brescia Fondazione Provincia di Brescia Eventi and Fondazione Brescia Musei as part of the project Una Generazione di Mezzo Clouds Never Say Hello spreads over two floors of the historic building and presents an articulated selection of new works that take viewers on an immersive journey into the author’s imagination.Picco deals lightly with delicate themes such as death often highlighting the contradictions of our society and showing how life and the world are an immense visionary theater the room whose walls have been completely covered with 18 thousand Savoy cookies an intervention by the artist that changes the sensory perception of the space and at the same time marks the access to the exhibition’s core A decompression room full of childhood reminiscences implicit in the wall is in fact the reference to incommunicability and all those walls that still inhabit the world are a recurring theme in Gabriele Picco’s work Visible and present both in the history of art and in everyday life at the same time so intangible and evanescent they metaphorically represent the ambiguity and contradiction that reign in the imagination of the Brescian author Two of the rooms of the exhibition are dedicated precisely to clouds In one we find them on the roof racks of scale models of historical cars from the second half of the twentieth century These are the cars that have become true icons which follow the first work in this series entitled Cloud which Picco made in 2005 with a real Fiat 500 as a permanent sculpture in the Madonie Park in Sicily In the other room the viewer will encounter what could be described as five small poems Clouds of various colors carved in different marbles a small stuffed bird of the same color as the rock The exhibition will be accompanied by a full-bodied monographic volume published by SKIRA in which hundreds of works produced by the artist between 1998 and 2022 will be collected through the filter of specific thematic sections a specific section will be dedicated in the form of a cahier to drawing and the textual part will consist of an essay signed by curator Claudio Musso a conversation between the artist and Davide Ferri and was forced to close after only one month of opening Now there are conditions to reopen the exhibition.Curated by Davide Dotti organized by the Associazione Amici di Palazzo Martinengo under the patronage of the Province of Brescia and in partnership with Fondazione Marcegaglia onlus the exhibition presents more than 90 masterpieces by artists such as Titian whose works have come to represent the personality sensuality and the most subtle nuances of the female hemisphere hairstyles and accessories typical of each era and geographical context There is also no shortage of works by Artemisia Gentileschi thanks to the collaboration with the Marcegaglia Onlus Foundation the exhibition is enriched with room panels that delve into some topical issues such as inequality between men and women The exhibition thus also aims to raise awareness among the public about topics of great socio-cultural importance the driving force behind the growth and development of the entire community through solidarity and cooperation projects 200 thematic itineraries to visit the exhibition with the aim of bringing young people closer and closer to the world of art and raising their awareness of issues of great social importance related to the female hemisphere the Friends of Palazzo Martinengo Association will donate 1 percent of ticket proceeds to AIRC Foundation for Cancer Research with the goal of supporting the best research for the prevention on the occasion of the exhibition at Palazzo Martinengo the Diocesan Museum of Brescia is organizing a small exhibition to explore the theme of female depiction in painting with sacred subjects With the ticket of Women in Art from Titian to Boldini one can visit the museum and the exhibition set up in the spaces of the former convent of San Giuseppe free of charge one of the leading international authorities on Titian and author of the catalog raisonné of the Cadore master’s works wrote that “this is a high-quality variant of one of Titian’s most avidly sought-after compositions The other autograph redactions were painted not only for his most important patrons but also for other illustrious figures of his time adviser to Emperor

version of the Penitent Magdalene painted for Philip II in 1561.” Adding to the Magdalene is a Pair of Standing Lovers a leading exponent of the Viennese avant-garde which anticipates the stylistic solutions of The Kiss and The Embrace of the Stoclet Frieze two of the Austrian master’s best-known masterpieces Drawing inspiration from sacred texts and hagiographic books the artists fired canvases that are the object of centuries-old devotion depicting the most famous saints of Christianity along with their own iconographic attribute: Magdalene with the jar of ointments; Catherine with the cogwheel; Barbara with the tower; Margaret with the dragon; Cecilia with musical instruments Not forgetting biblical heroines such as Judith whose tormented personal stories are recounted in the Old Testament Classical literature and mythology have also provided artists with endless food for thought as in the case of stories involving deities (Diana Daphne) and illustrious women of the ancient world who in order not to deliver herself alive into the hands of her arch-enemy Octavian and suffer public humiliation; Lucretia who pierced her own chest with a dagger after being demeaned and raped by Sextus Tarquinus; and Sophonisba who drank the poison sent to her by her husband Messinissa in order not to live a mortified existence as a slave of the Romans Especially in the context of nineteenth-century painting woman was captured in her everyday dimension grappling with the chores of domestic life and work; in the role of an affectionate mother who lovingly cares for her children; but also in mischievous attitudes and in intimate situations to enhance her sensual charge as evidenced by the masterpieces of Giovanni Boldini “After an initial postponement,” says Roberta Bellino president of the Associazione Amici di Palazzo Martinengo “we decided by mutual agreement with the Fondazione Provincia di Brescia Eventi and the Province of Brescia to close the exhibition with the promise to meet again when the situation looked more tranquil from a health standpoint was getting a great response from the public All the people who had purchased the admission ticket in advance will be able to use the coupon simply by presenting it at the ticket office of Palazzo Martinengo.” “The theme of women,” says curator Davide Dotti “is so fascinating and engaging that artists especially between the 16th and 19th centuries have investigated it from every iconographic perspective eternalizing the ’divine creatures’ in masterpieces that still fatally seduce our gaze it is an opportunity to take an exciting journey full of surprises enhanced by unpublished paintings recently discovered in prestigious private collections and close encounters with famous women of the past including the Brescian Francesca (Fanny) Lechi portrayed in 1803 by the great Andrea Appiani in an extraordinary canvas that after more than twenty-five years since its last appearance returns to public view.” First of the four new events of PTM Andata/Ritorno scheduled from mid-May to the end of the year enriches the new eighteenth-century path of the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in particular the path dedicated to the painting of Giacomo Ceruti The loan of Portrait of Carlo Emanuele Massa adds an important piece in the narration around the work of Ceruti of which the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo preserves the most significant corpus of works in the world: the most modern among the “painters of reality” – according to the happy definition of Roberto Longhi – links him to Moretto Ceruti was also sought after and refined portraitist with a production that returns his prolific network of contacts woven over the long career and his ability to intercept the trends of European painting of the time Following some of the most significant members of the aristocracy of the time with a break in Tortona that the work of the Cavallini-Sgarbi Foundation allows to investigate with a new look In the city of Piedmont Ceruti decorates the hall on the main floor of Palazzo Busseti and he made the portrait of Carlo Emanuele Massa presented to the public for the first time on this occasion at the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia Carlo Emanuele Massa was one of the most authoritative representatives of the Savoy government trustee of King Carlo Emanuele III on the territory of the Piedmontese dominion: his portrait belongs to the mature phase of the painter in which Ceruti is open to new requests of a client of international taste with amazing results in the mimetic rendering of faces and surfaces PTM Andata e Ritorno is the project of Fondazione Brescia Musei that transforms the “departures” linked to loan applications into “arrivals” of guest works: an opportunity to welcome in the rooms of the new Pinacoteca masterpieces that dialogue with the permanent collection The project is a preview of the great exhibition that Fondazione Brescia Musei will dedicate to Giacomo Ceruti in 2023 in the year in which Brescia and Bergamo will be Italian Capitals of Culture an event that more than 35 years after the exhibition hosted at the Museum of Santa Giulia which placed the artist at the attention of the general public emphasizes the quality of the Pitocchetto within European painting 'The station has forthwith elected to remove him from all

Wednesday to share how their paths crossed and how they became ‘very good mates’ It isn’t often that I share many personal posts but this is one is different and very close to me I first met Darren Scott back when he was working for Capital Radio He was by chance in Johannesburg broadcasting from a studio in Milpark just down the road from the SABC I was working for Virgin Records at the time and Rick Astley (post his euro-pop time) had just released a beautiful record called Free The first single was title “Cry for Help” and I went to deliver it to Darren to ask him to play it on his breakfast show To say that he was friendly would be an overstatement but he was doing a show and I’m sure he thought who is this punk interrupting me Darren joined as the weekend breakfast show host Prior to that Darren and I had bumped into each other on one other occasion we found out that we had a lot in common and became very good mates To make friends in the broadcasting world is extremely difficult and rare I could write a book on the various complexities surrounding it but just believe me when I say it is rare and uncommon Darren and I have managed to remain very good mates and we have worked together on various radio stations and of course at Supersport together Our journeys have crossed paths more times than I can imagine but if he ever needed something Darren has been instrumental in creating so many powerful projects to assist others This was also the catalyst that created Hot Cares Darren has always been the champion of causes to assist others It is with sadness if you have not read but Darren is battling cancer right now Mark fought and survives cancer to this day Darren to me is the greatest broadcaster I know and have worked with Below is a campaign to assist Darren through this difficult journey In whatever capacity you know Darren I ask you sincerely to try and assist or at least share so we can get Darren healthy and fit again https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/just-plain-darren-needs-you As reported by The South African website in late 2024, Johannesburg-based radio station HOT 102.7FM confirmed that Scott would be returning to host its afternoon drive show.  The Just Plain Drive Show saw a return to South African radio for Scott who had previously been in the United States for the 18 months prior.  Scott is a household name in South African radio and television including stints with the likes of Capital Radio where he fronted the hugely-popular ‘Boots & All’ rugby show for many years Scott explained how he has been living with a life-threatening skin cancer he posted an almost unrecognisable photo alongside a more recent picture of him in hospital “The one on the left is me just over a year ago My weight had dropped to 78kg and I felt like I was close to death,” he posted “The pic on the right is me in hospital this past weekend … finally getting a problem fixed after a rollercoaster year.” he explained that the first melanoma had been diagnosed as far back as 1986 … “as a result of many hours on a cricket field without adequate protection” “Since 1986 my body has been like a ‘pinball machine’ when it comes to this disease,” he shared “Discounting the numerous very early stage melanomas (malignant moles in simplistic terms) which have been removed without any follow up treatment necessary Darren Scott went on to depict an agonising journey fighting not only the disease but some adverse reactions to attempted treatments one of which he suggests “made my own immune system turn on me It hit me like a series of Mike Tyson blows to my gastro-intestinal region ….” “I plummeted 15kg in two weeks and after being discharged from hospital with hordes of cortisone and an array of other medication completely drained and battling to recover “That came with far too regular bouts of dizziness blackouts and a complete loss of energy as I battled to maintain my weight above 80kg (normal for me being around 90-95kg) “This ‘attack’ on my system started in July of last year … and I only started to feel somewhat human again by November!” After another recent health setback that led to his “body shutting down” two months ago Scott needed to have his gall bladder removed “I finally feel human again after more than a year … albeit less one gall bladder to go with missing lymph glands a part of my lung and a section of my chin … and a whole new diet!” he described “The good news is … I’m back at that place where all I’m fighting now is my weight … that’s to try and keep it down as opposed to trying to keep it up!” You can read the full post from Darren Scott here Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 Follow us on Facebook for the
