Following the close of the summer transfer window on Friday evening and the incredible win against Cesena, Sporting Director Stefano Melissano addressed the media to provide an update on recent developments: "It’s a great day, as we’re coming off an exhilarating victory, secured at the last moment in our home stadium, which is typical for us here at Spezia. Defensively, we are well covered with players like Giorgeschi and Benvenuto, who are stepping up as our version of last year’s Bertola. We need to trust in our young players, who bring both quality and a strong sense of belonging—an important added value to the team. As for Djankpata, we’ve been keeping an eye on him for some time. Although he has a development path ahead, he is more advanced for his age compared to other players born in 2005. This deal is similar to the Kouda transfer; he needs to adjust to a different style of football from what he's accustomed to in England, but he has valuable skills. We acted swiftly and effectively to secure him before other teams could get involved. Sarr is expected to be out for between 2 and 3 months, which would mean missing 7 or 8 matches. We need to carefully evaluate the situation. With both Gori and Mascardi available, there’s no immediate rush to make a decision. We want to avoid overcrowding the goalkeeper position and disrupting team harmony. My role is part of a long journey. I’m proud to be the Sporting Director of Spezia; this feels like a second home to me, a place I was eager to return to. I’m deeply grateful to Meluso for bringing me here initially. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience working with professionals like Pecini and Macia, and now I’m focused on applying all my knowledge to benefit the club and the white shirt. Our primary goal is to secure our place in the league; everything beyond that will come in time. The President has talked about a long-term path to Serie A, not an immediate return. It’s a step-by-step journey, maintaining our values and identity along the way. Whether or not we achieve Serie A by the end of this journey, the key is to stay true to ourselves. We have a squad with plenty of options, and any player can step up. This year, we’re equipped to handle challenges and make adjustments as needed, thanks to the depth of our roster and the mindset of this group. Regarding Seghetti, we worked until 11:00 PM on the last day of the transfer window. Perugia was ready to make a deal, but we faced issues with the timing required to finalize everything, as the opportunity arose late in the afternoon, coinciding with Perugia’s game. Unfortunately, we couldn’t close the deal in time. We’ll see if another chance comes up in the future, as we remain vigilant and active in scouting young talent. As for Soleri, we’ve chosen players with strong moral and personal qualities. He’s a prime example—an exceptional young man who is deeply committed to Spezia and eager to return. We have many others like him, all of whom have embraced Spezia and our project, and are dedicated to giving their best for this city".

enters the digital world We caught up with the head of digital communications to get his advice on creating a mega-museum Instagram presence How long have you been leading the social media at the Louvre View this post on Instagram A post shared by Musée du Louvre (@museelouvre) What is the biggest challenge of running the social media for such a large institution I would say that the challenge is always keeping a leading position in international cultural communication and attracting new audiences We need to address and gain the loyalty of a worldwide audience Then the institution must constantly reinvent itself—to always try new things without being distorted What do you think is the secret to the Louvre’s huge follower numbers The Louvre is a magical place—a symbol of Paris and France—that appeals to visitors of all nationalities The beauty of the collections and spaces of the palace and gardens makes it unique in the world But all that it is not enough—we must always keep a fresh and curious eye the video by Beyoncé and Jay-Z at the Louvre shared more than 200 million times on YouTube opened the museum to distant and younger audiences It’s a miracle that a museum of ancient art like the Louvre is so popular with young people around the world What would be your one top tip for others trying to improve their Instagram accounts The strength of social networks is

social media followings?Increasingly the digital sphere is another frontier where institutions battle it out for the attention of culture-seekers The spotlight turned to the topic of thoracic aortic dissections—both type A and B using both endovascular and open approaches—in the final of CX Aortic Vienna’s six Wednesday sessions Polling revealed that 94% of viewers believe timing of intervention is key for type B dissection and discussion emphasised the benefits of staged procedures USA) began with a presentation in which he advocated moving toward “a definitive aortic solution” in acute type A dissections—describing what he sees as a new paradigm for the open zone 2/1 arch with sequential delayed branch arch thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) Bavaria presented outcomes from various Debakey type 1 dissection cases and arguing in favour of a change in approach in order to improve outcomes is a strategy involving zone 2 arch replacement with sequential branched TEVAR and the availability of new technology is that in patients with less than 10‒15 years of life expectancy usually >65 we use the classic hemi-arch operations A patient with an arch tear or distal malperfusion this is appropriate patient for an on-table frozen elephant trunk procedure In patients less who are less than 65 and stable we perform a Zone 2 arch with possible sequential arch branch TEVAR The Netherlands) then discussed the value of transapical access for thoracic aortic procedures Heijmen opened noting that the true value of TEVAR is its less-invasive approach adding that the transfemoral route is preferred in most cases where there is severe iliofemoral pathology this may not be possible adding that in these instances transapical access can be an alternative Transapical access involves approaching through the “apex” of the left ventricle “In recent years in more than 15 patients we have used transapical TEVAR safely and effectively and do appreciate its value in treating thoracic aortic pathology in case of an inadequate peripheral access,” Heijmen commented Italy) detailed a new technical approach for type B dissection—the STABILISE concept—combining proximal descending aortic endografting with distal bare metal stenting This technique results in a completely remodelled aorta throughout its whole length He also detailed the aims of the STABILISE Registry which is seeking to gather data on the use of the technique in 200 patients for a follow-up period of two years The Registry has been included in the top 10 candidates of aortic disease trials found on clinical trials.gov in a study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine Sweden) chronic type B aortic dissection can be successfully treated with TEVAR with the success of TEVAR dependent on the extension of the disease covering the role of endovascular treatment in chronic type B aortic dissections Mani reminded the audience that the endovascular toolbox includes both false lumen occlusion devices as well as thoracoabdominal fenestrated repair “TEVAR is not a one-off treatment in chronic type B aortic dissections and you have to prepare for future battles,” he said was the message from William Jordan (Atlanta USA) who offered the international CX Aortic Vienna audience his insights into the early treatment of type B aortic dissections He noted that acute type B aortic dissection is a high risk condition particularly for patients undergoing open repair and added that increasingly treatment of type B aortic dissection has moved towards TEVAR in recent years He then presented data on early versus late repair using either TEVAR or open approaches—highlighting an improved 10-year survival in patients who underwent early repairs Jordan concluded that endovascular therapy provides less invasive treatment for complex aortic pathology and that early intervention is associated with better long-term survival Italy) offered participants a series technical tips for the open repair of chronic type B dissection He noted that European guidelines recommend open repair for patients aneurysmal or symptomatic chronic type B dissection with a low surgical risk open surgical repair still represents the treatment of choice for chronic type B aortic dissection,” Rinaldi said His presentation highlighted the need for identification and management of the true and false lumen proper graft selection based upon patient characteristics challenges in intercostal artery reattachment and management of the ascending aorta This session, and

pain can be transformed; traumas can be transformed into that space of love of kindness for one another,” Melissano said “The embrace of one another instead of considering the other we had really so many additional traumas for this nation,” she said of the unprecedented past year of colliding crises Because everybody was watching us and crying with us.” That need for connection is all the more important n this time of physical isolation and social distancing we have to embrace this opportunity for a connection a closeness on a deeper level,” Melissano said that it’s really on a level that is not visible but is tangible.” “The new moon is not visible; everything is dark yet we know the moon is still there,” she said Her website describes a “heart full of gratitude for the privilege to be of service to others make a difference in the world and make her gifts available to anyone about the clear benefits of being out in nature One of Melissano’s services she proposes is “the healing conversations,” which is separate from “therapy.” “There’s no certain number of sessions set up I consider them an encounter of the soul.” “It is completely donation-based,” Melissano said to heal wounds and traumas and fear and isolation I offer this in love and you – whoever you are – will offer me she also spent several months at her home in Italy “This gives me the freedom to offer all this – nationally I offered free mindfulness consultation in Italy and also Long Beach because I could see that people were in such deep pain and fear marriage and family therapist and was former director of the Satva Center and Trinity Enrichment Center Even her website address is different (with no “.com” or “.org) “That period or dot before ‘love,’ it forces you to pause,” Melissano said “Pausing is a powerful mindfulness technique/practice that slows the mind down helps focus and redirect our attention and awareness into the here and now Thewayof.love is “made to engage the senses and your entire being: pleasing the eyes with grace and beauty through images the ears through special sounds and chanting that you can listen to while browsing in an atmosphere that warms your heart and embraces you with the vibration of love are looking for alternatives to traditional therapy and/or medication for hope and a sense of purpose in life to break free from even chronic depression Healing Conversations will provide for you a unique way to nourish and heal your Soul long for harmony in your love relationship freedom from conflict & emotional distance or loneliness Healing Conversations can show you the way back to a love that is vibrant & fulfilling the return to a soulful and heart-centered union,” the site says “In a safe and intimate space where you can share and address your life challenges with no judgment.” For more information, you can contact Melissano at 309-793-7881 or at rita@thewayof.love With funds tight – so tight even that Rangers could not afford the £2.5 million required for Marko Soldo of NK Osijek – the only arrivals were an on-loan Rafael Fernandes and the out-of-contract Lyall Cameron Rangers are thinking long-term rather than scouring the market for short-term solutions but 2025/26 offers a chance for redemption As CEO Patrick Stewart and technical director Nils Koppen explained, Rangers brought in Hamza Igamane, Jefte and Connor Barron with future success in mind Cameron and Fernandes – all aged between 21 and 22 – also fit into this category Findlay Curtis, Paul Nsio and particularly 18-year-old Bailey Rice are expected to have bigger roles next term too. Clement even admitted that Rangers let Kieran Dowell go to give Rice a bigger role in their first-team plans Reports in the final week of the window, meanwhile, suggested that Rangers are in pursuit of Spezia centre-back Nicolo Bertola Bertola is the latest fresh-faced up-and-comer to catch Koppen’s eager eye and well-placed to secure a return to Italy’s top flight there would have been an almighty sigh of relief at the Stadio Alberto Picco when the deadline passed on Monday and Bertola was still at the disposal of the Aquilotti Though sporting director Stefano Melissano breaking his silence on the defender’s future insists that there was not a genuine expectation of Bertola departing anyway “There has never been any concrete interest in him,” Melissano tells La Nazione “It won’t be a problem for us because we want to protect our technical project “Bertola would have stayed with us [on loan] anyway because taking a player away from this group was unthinkable.” with Bertola’s contract expiring in the summer Spezia have just missed the chance to sell the academy graduate for any sort of sum Inter Milan and Bertola’s growing throng of admirers always planned to make their moves later down the line anyway in the knowledge that the 6ft 4ins giant could be secured on a free-transfer in the near future with Scudetto holders Inter already in the race Rangers may face something of an uphill task League leaders Napoli have also been linked The Glasgow giants managed to convince the likes of Igamane Nsiala and Rafael Fernandes to sign on the dotted line despite plenty of interest from elsewhere with a move to Ibrox offering a genuine shot at regular Something neither Inter nor Napoli may be capable of providing Igamane rejected Qatari interest for Rangers. Nsiala was linked with clubs in his native France. Rafael Fernandes had offers from Germany and Spain but opted for Ibrox too it remains to be seen if Rangers see Bertola as someone to come in alongside Fernandes or potentially to replace him Much will depend on how the Lille loanee adapts with the Gers boasting the option to turn his temporary deal into a permanent one I’m very happy with how the season is going,” Bertola said after establishing himself in Italy’s Under-21 set-up [I am] working every day to try to improve thanks to the fact that I’ve started playing a lot.”
