Claterna is now the largest uninhabited Roman city in northern Italy The theater is located in the northern part of the city Already identified between 2017 and 2019 through aerial photos and limited surveys the monument has only been the subject of a systematic excavation campaign since 2023 The results were surprising: a 64-meter-diameter cavea emerged with an estimated capacity of up to 2,500 spectators although many stones of the tiers of seats and parts of the masonry have been removed since late antiquity to obtain building material the wings of the Theater of Claterna are among the best-preserved among the theaters of the imperial age in Italy Numerous fragments of architectural elements marble and stone floor and wall slabs that constituted the monument’s decoration have been recovered from the theater With the upcoming 2025-2027 funding of 600 thousand euros it will become the only theater in the regional territory that is fully visible and usable under the open sky.” floor and wall slabs made of marble and stone which were part of the building’s decorative apparatus In addition to the full enjoyment of the open-air Theater the enhancement intervention also includes a series of activities designed for public outreach and participation the Theater is not the only treasure of Claterna Next to it stretches an entire city yet to be explored and remains attesting to the site’s privileged relationship with Rome and commercial significance have also been found in the area the Ministry of Culture has invested nearly 1.4 million euros in the Claterna area and the nearby necropolis of Via Sant’Andrea the total figure rises to more than 3.6 million euros The plan for the three-year period 2025-2027 includes in addition to the 600,000 euros earmarked for the Theater an additional 400,000 for the Domus dei Mosaici and 1.2 million for the Red House The archaeological area of Claterna today represents a landmark for the protection and enhancement of Italy’s cultural heritage The possibility of restoring life to a place that has been lying underground for centuries is an opportunity not only for scholars but also for citizens and visitors who will get to know the everyday life of an ancient Roman city The new version of the Green horizontal packaging machine by GNA an Italian company based in Ozzano dell'Emilia (Bologna) specializing in the development production and sale of packaging machines for the food and non-food industry features several mechanical improvements to increase the machine's sturdiness and functionality an innovative control panel and network connection for diagnosis and remote monitoring the Green machine proves to be a state-of-the-art system that guarantees excellent performance," emphasizes Valerio Nucci "Fruit and vegetables are one of the main applications The Green machine is adept at horizontal pad wrapping with flexible plastic and paper+net (including fabric) films." and it also performs well in the bakery and non-food sectors we are currently selling it for seasonal fruit in baskets such as peaches The new version of Green is already available and a number of units have already been delivered." "This is a significant step forward in terms of flexibility thanks mainly to major mechanical changes," says Massimiliano Nucci our new Green machine features a redesigned pause unit What this means in practice is that we have replaced the pause assembly with a more structurally rigid one with horizontal translation and added a tachometer with mechanical locking which allows the pause position to be displayed accurately the introduction of separate supports for the top sealer improves the stability and precision of the sealing process the load-bearing structure has been improved in strength and stability by shifting the position of the front feet Sockets for forklift forks have also been introduced to facilitate movement." At the heart of the updated version of the Green machine is a revolutionary element "This innovation represents a real technological leap forward opening the door to a series of functions dedicated to the consultation of production data the panel becomes the point of contact for the operator can access a universe of information that is crucial for managing and optimizing production processes," explains Nucci making it easier to maintain and operate the machine Operators can quickly access all the information they need improving operational efficiency and reducing time spent searching for documents Internet connectivity for remote monitoring and assistanceOne of the most significant new features is the ability to connect to a network enabling real-time diagnostics and remote service This means that operators can receive immediate support and resolve any problems immediately minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity Another key feature is the connection to the company's MES (Manufacturing Execution System) "The planned integration enables continuous and in-depth monitoring of the manufacturing processes This will significantly improve quality management and allow us to optimize the use of resources," concludes Nucci For more information:GNA s.r.l.Via Progresso, 15 - z.i.

start for the first time in its history from Italy Le Grand Depart is due to start in Florence on Saturday 29 June 2024 with the first stage Florence-Rimini before departing on the third day from Piacenza towards Turin and finally leaving the Bel Paese on the fourth day with departure from Pinerolo and arrival in France It has now become common practice for the big starts of the best-known cycling stage races to start in a destination other than their home country (this applies to the Giro d'Italia too).  This is largely motivated by economic and marketing reasons: with its 1.14 billion contacts in 190 countries the return in visibility for the involved countries is overwhelming The world's leading cycling race running right next door is a unique showcase opportunity in terms of tourism promotion an Italian won the Grande Boucle (the Tour's nickname) for the first time: it was Ottavio Bottecchia a bricklayer from Friuli and champion of that legendary and heroic cycling the yellow caravan of the Tour moved to Italy taking in the home towns of the greatest cyclists our country has ever produced Florence and Tuscany for Bartali and Nencini Emilia-Romagna and Cesenatico for their deeply-rooted cycling tradition and for Pantani (the last cyclist ever to win the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France in the same year) and finally Piedmont for Coppi Emilia-Romagna will be the undisputed protagonist of this Grand Depart being touched on in all three of the initial stages: arrival in Rimini (from Florence) followed by Cesenatico-Bologna (via Ravenna The Tour de France will be on its way through Bologna on Sunday 30 June 2024 Here is the race schedule in Bologna's province (from letour.fr) The route of the second stage is expected to reach Bologna with the finishing line on Via Irnerio No fewer than three stages are planned here due to the final circuit that will be covered If you want to see the winner with arms raised or enjoy the ensuing final sprint this is the right place to seize the moment A big screen will also be installed in the finish area in Piazza 8 Agosto to allow the spectators to follow the race as will the podium for the prize-giving ceremony Other highlights of this day's stage will certainly include some hilly slopes: whether at Imola or at Riolo Terme on the iconic Gallisterna climb (already the scene of great cycling feats with the World Championships won by Frenchman Alaphilippe in 2020) there will be plenty of suggestive crossing points albeit not decisive for the race given their distance from the finish line some beautiful vantage points are the short climb between Botteghino di Zocca and Pianoro (Via Donini) where some brave riders could try to gain the upper hand on the group or in the involved stretches of the Viali (boulevards) to watch the race and have a wide view.  Another important stage is the ascent to San Luca known in cycling as the finish of the Giro dell'Emilia the most enthusiastic fans will be thronging as this could be the decisive point of the route for the stage victory due to its gradients Check the traffic, street closures, bus diversions, taxi and parking information on the official
