A project of Last week, I traveled to the historic city of Perugia in Umbria, Italy. With clear blue skies, wisteria hanging over ancient Roman walls, plenty of gelato and beautiful vistas from the hilltop, the setting was pretty special. More inspiring though, were the people I spoke to during my visit. Perugia is the home of the annual international journalism festival a meeting of media movers and shakers from all over the globe this six-month program is proving invaluable not only for seminars from guest speakers at the top of their game but for the collaborations that are developing within the network Canada and way beyond has opened my eyes so much to the diversity of challenges we all face – and the creative possibilities During my discussions with colleagues from my European media leaders climate solutions fellowship visiting from France I listened to the lightbulb moments others have had and reflected on my own progress – internally in terms of what leadership means to me and how I can effect meaningful change in terms of supporting my own team and encouraging more collaboration within this organization By sharing joys and worries over a margarita pizza or scoop of nocciola (hazelnut ice cream – my favorite) I was struck that authenticity is the most important attribute All else follows and every single one of those real honest and open in-person connections deepens my appreciation for that So many early career journalists approached me keen to chat and wanting to know more about how to immerse themselves in this specialism When I first started out as a biology graduate I worked in wildlife TV production and magazine journalism environment coverage tended to be an outlier Climate journalists were few and far between; willing mentors were difficult to find That landscape has shifted so much over the past 20 years and I’m proud that this part of our industry is growing people want to cover climate stories in so many creative formats and that’s invigorating (both inadvertent misinterpretation and deliberate miscommunication) online combined with widespread disengagement from mainstream news sources social media has a big role to play in how we engage with climate Climate communication is definitely not just about imparting facts We chatted about bridging the gap between science and storytelling how to apply a rigorous journalistic approach to all forms of content and how integrity must be the top priority That all builds precious trust and creates connection The next U.N. climate summit (Cop30) is coming and we’re getting ready. One of my favorite sessions was a talk by Daniel Nardin, another solutions journalist member of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network. He lives in Belem, the Brazilian city that will be hosting Cop30 in November where negotiators will continue to debate how best to tackle and adapt to climate change Nardin’s publication, Amazonia Vox platforms the voices of the people living in the Amazon social and political issues in the Amazon are complex and full of nuance which is why he makes local voices central to the narrative But Nardin is proactively cracking on with it The Conversation is already highly respected academics and readers told me how much they love what we do and what we stand for Tackling misinformation in engaging ways is what we do best with the most accurate and evidence-based knowledge is our purpose We’re already bridging the gap between research and the real world And so now is a great time to evolve and meet this new challenge The Conversation can help shift the way climate stories can be told The climate crisis has already gone way beyond being an environmental issue from health and education to business and democracy Newsrooms no longer have to function like they have done for decades but because future proofing makes business sense As the executive director of Covering Climate Now, a media community based in the U.S., Mark Hertsgard said: “Every journalist in the 21st century will need to be a climate journalist.” my job is to turn Perugia’s inspiration into action Photo by Mauro Grazzi on Unsplash Note: Daniel Nardin is an ICFJ Knight fellow This article was originally published by The Conversation and republished on IJNet with permission Here’s everything you need to know about traveling to Perugia Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome She has been contributing to Travel + Leisure since 2014 when she started as a fact checker before becoming a contributing digital editor in 2015 She has also held positions as a contributing editor at The Points Guy and the NYC cities editor at DuJour Magazine her writing has appeared in Architectural Digest When she's not jetsetting around Italy and beyond enjoying some cacio e pepe or relaxing at home with her husband and two dogs Laura moved to New York City in 2011 to pursue a master's degree in creative writing and translation at Columbia University She also holds a bachelor's degree in French from Smith College * 10+ years of experience writing and editing * Co-wrote "New York: Hidden Bars & Restaurants," an award-winning guide to New York City's speakeasy scene published by Jonglez Editions in 2015 * Contributed to "Fodor's Brooklyn," published by Penguin Random House in 2015 which won silver in the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism competition * Contributed an essay to "Epic Hikes of Europe," published by Lonely Planet in 2021 * Updated the 2022 edition of "Fodor's Essential Italy" Tess Jeffers and Felix Simon at one of the panels on AI and the future of news Journalists from all over the world gathered again this year at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia to discuss some of the news industry's most crucial issues in a time of upheaval The Reuters Institute's editorial team curated some of the festival's highlights in this piece several takeaways and quotes that made us think – but not the name of the person who was in everyone's minds We'll keep updating the article in the next few days especially around summarisation tools.  The most critical challenge they all faced was adjusting their outputs to reach the quality expected from these organisations “Fine-tuning takes a lot of human work,” says Moran we were trying to teach the machine news-sense.”  All the speakers stressed that fine-tuning these models required the input of working journalists and editors who were asked to talk through exactly how they make editorial judgements Fillion shared that this challenge required distilling qualitative editorial judgement into quantitative values the model could use.  One way the New York Times tested this was by putting the LLMs through a line-editing exercise designed for prospective editors and working with editors for hours to evaluate the output “What’s new is that the newsroom is in the workflow and responsible for saying if something is a quality output that passes editorial judgement and is good enough to go on the site.” Panellists affected by these cuts said that they are leaving a gap that will be difficult to fill as they will be competing for funding with initiatives on health 3. If you are building your own news startup, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Starting a news business can be challenging for journalists. In a talk about journalists as founders founders shared openly and honestly the challenges they’ve faced from learning ‘founders’ language’ to appealing to potential funders and putting together material for grant applications One thing they all agreed on was the need to ask for help when starting out whether that’s by hiring someone with experience looking for free advice from nonprofits or applying for a fellowship “There are so many things I had in my mind that I had to put on paper that somebody forced me to. I’m so grateful. It keeps me accountable to all the things I wanted to do,” said Maritza Felix from Conecta Arizona 4. Building a local news organisation has never been cheaper – but it takes discipline to focus on what matters to audiences. A panel moderated by Jane Martinson looked at the influence of media ownership on editorial decisions a topic at the forefront right now after the Washington Post’s billionaire owner Jeff Bezos prevented his newspaper from endorsing Kamala Harris.  Four of these six sites are now profitable Speakers explained how their work is being discredited by government officials and tech oligarchs that sow mistrust amongst audiences for political or financial gain. “My wish for 2025 was for me to talk less about harassment and censorship, and more about the good journalism that we do,” said Ana Brakus, from Croatia’s Faktograf the events that have occurred in the US have brought the levels of harassment and narratives of so-called censorship to a whole new level and we have our tech bros to thank for that.” Brakus also stressed that these threats were not a spontaneous phenomenon but the result of sophisticated information operations: “The attacks we are facing are coordinated and the intention behind them is not just to disrespect our work but to sow mistrust and achieve a political goal.” 6. You can find positive and fun climate stories – if you know where to look for them. In a panel looking at the intersection of climate and conflict, journalists discussed how to identify climate stories that are positive or interesting to readers. Freelancer Nithin Coca suggested that going down to the local level can unearth these kinds of stories “There are really interesting efforts to do local energy democracy projects where people are building democratically-managed energy systems,” he said.  Coca also shared a project that retrained Japanese farmers to grow fruit without the use of carbon-intensive greenhouses and saved 10% in carbon emissions “What is the way someone is approaching a problem from a unique perspective that has data and science to back that up Up to 80% of her own outlet’s funding comes from grants.  “We have a lot of conversations about exhaustion but I don’t want this to become a trap for me as a manage,” Tuzhanska said “It is not easy to work in the Ukrainian reality We try to find a way to continue being productive even in this situation,” who nearly died when she was hit by Israeli tank fire while reporting in southern Lebanon in October 2023 The attack killed Assi's Reuters colleague Issam Abdallah.  “As journalists we didn’t realise this was going to be a systematic attack against those who document and seek truth,” Assi said. “Regimes in general fear journalists because they are going to expose their impunity.” | Watch 8. Journalists from Israel and Ukraine are grappling with censorship – and self-censorship. Several panellists stressed that many Israeli news organisations have turned a blind eye to some of the worst crimes of the country’s army. Oren Persico, staff writer at the Israeli media watchdog The Seventh Eye said that Israeli media has failed at covering the war in Gaza: “They have created a dome of ignorance surrounding society,” he said “It is such a complete failure of the profession.” But not every news organisation in Israel is behaving in the same way. A panel moderated by Vivian Schiller featured investigative journalists Milan Czerny from Shomrim and Omer Benjakob from Haaretz who have exposed government corruption and abuses by the country’s armed forces.  Both discussed the challenges posed by operating under military censorship how army chiefs often broke their own rules by publishing “war porn” on their social media channels and how they’ve managed to put their stories in the public domain despite official bans Benjakob explained how the army tried to kill this story about a fake Strava account exposing sensitive information about Israeli military bases Czerny spoke openly about how he and his colleagues grappled with self-censorship especially right after Hamas’ terror attacks “I don’t think we could have published the piece on unruly behaviour from soldiers’ social media videos on the day after October 7,” he said “It took some time for me and for society to be able to hear these kinds of stories.” Olga Rudenko from the Kyiv Independent also shared her own experience with censorship and self-censorship during the war but how they are applied has changed,” she said “We don’t have a formal body that reviews things But there are actors that put pressure informally asking to take something down your instinct is not to trust people in government You think they are trying to cover up their asses But maybe it’s not that and I have to take a calculated risk every time this happens.” Don’t underestimate the power of humour in journalism – especially in dark times Several panels covered the power of humour to engage audiences - especially in the face of news fatigue and when dealing with complex topics Youtuber Adam Levy, known as Climate Adam, explains how he frames his videos on this crucial topic: “I try to think: if I was a viewer who didn’t care about climate change and I just stumbled across this video, what would be the things which would keep me watching regardless?” His own answer was often humour.  A news service for news avoiders. Svenska Dagbladet’s Inanna Lallerstedt spoke about a new standalone service from her newspaper that’s specifically designed to offer audience members a ‘moderate level’ of news has a newsfeed that can be filtered according to user preferences with an option named ‘tired of the news’ that only offers constructive stories with Q&As with experts on important topics.  A new life for a storied news brand. Digital Editor Basia Cummings offered quite a few details about the imminent relaunch of the British newspaper the Observer as digital news brand recently bought by online news startup Tortoise Media Cummings said she and her colleagues at Tortoise think they see many similarities between both brands and can offer things the Observer didn’t currently have “We are now the custodians of this title and we will focus on reaching younger readers that would see it into the future,” she said.  has led to people expressing support by providing the organisation with funding or pro bono services.  A key quote: Braimah said the Fourth Estate’s relatively small size made it necessary to focus only on what’s important: “If you have fewer resources, you don’t have to be dictated to by the desires of others who want lots of stories with no context or analysis.” | Watch An AI tool to generate story ideas. Swedish Radio’s Josef El Mahdi spoke about ‘Angle Buddy,’ a new internal tool that’s being tested across their newsrooms Journalists can insert it on an existing news story and it will propose new angles for other stories that are in line with the user needs model ‘I want to understand’ or ‘I want a break’.  A collaboration between journalists and influencers. Earth Shorts, a pilot program by Internews’ Earth Journalism Network connected journalists with influencers in the Philippines offering social media creators training in journalistic skills and encouraging them to leverage their audience and engagement to take a climate angle with their storytelling A joint venture for collaboration. Sharon Moshavi from the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) spoke about a new nonprofit they are establishing with Code for Africa (CfA) to implement joint initiatives that combine CfA’s technical expertise with ICFJ’s global network.  On news deserts. Tim Franklin from Northwestern University said there are more than 200 local news desert counties in the United States and 279 counties at risk of becoming news deserts. Over 50 million people live in counties with limited local news in the country. | Watch On lifestyle content. Angela Pacienza from the Globe and Mail explained how they redesigned their home page adding a new type of lifestyle content focused on questions that matter most to people in their daily lives Open rates for push notifications are 10% for this type of content compared to 5% for the rest of the website’s output Year over year page views are up 305% for this type of content Unique visitors are also up 74% year on year.  On trust in local news. Trust in news is declining, but not at the same rate for local news, said our Director of Research, Richard Fletcher. "When we look at the list of the most trusted outlets in each country, local is often quite near the top. This is true for the US, the UK, France, and Spain." | Watch  On Bluesky. The United States, the UK, Canada, Brazil and Japan are the top five countries in terms of Bluesky users, said Emily Liu, Head of Special Projects at the platform, which now has more than 36 million people. | Watch Sarah Jeong, Features Editor at the Verge, on how Twitter supercharges abuse: “Twitter seems to be designed in the worst possible way. This exacerbates the problem of abuse. You don’t have separate discrete pools. Everyone can respond to everyone else. Context collapse is very easy to create on Twitter.” | Watch Sign up for The Media Today but locals suspected he’d use the money corruptly and mounted an armed resistance bread in Perugia tends to be baked without salt a fact that many residents interpret as “a continuation of a fierce act of rebellion” and that chimes “with the Perugian’s fiercely rebellious and anticlerical reputation,” Traverso wrote in bakeries and beyond; my girlfriend heard a version of it in a nearby tourist office just last week strode journalists from all over the world distinguishable from the locals if not by their lanyards and laptops then by their natty trainers and shirt-jackets The juxtaposition was slightly uncanny; as one attendee put it to me this seemed like the sort of place you’d go for an anniversary break my girlfriend did the tourism; she’d recommend taking a boat on the nearby Lago Trasimeno but not trusting the online timetable.) By day we ducked out of a beating April sun and into panel discussions in impossibly beautiful theaters where we asked questions that were really more of a comment we ate extravagant dinners then swarmed outside the handsome Hotel Brufani where we swilled negronis and discussed The Apocalypse Whiplash changes to advantageous trade arrangements about the tech oligarchy’s “capture of journalism and creativity” (not to mention their plans to live forever and fuse humanity into a hive mind) best known as the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower—admonished journalists for covering tech titans through the lens of the products they create rather than the “underlying fascism” of their worldview might seem an odd place to be working as a tech journalist but is actually “fascinating” given the Vatican’s unique perspective on AI “The Catholic Church has always known how to harness technology and spectacle to inspire faith in a higher power; they were the Silicon Valley of their age In a recent statement warning that humanity is in danger of worshipping AI as a god Cockerell saw “the old religion coming out to do battle with the new one.” Anticlerical even if they are literally—but heartened to hear that big thinkers in the industry aren’t willing to cede that ecosystem and are working out how to build an infrastructure to support the ongoing demand for fact-based journalism within it a journalist who is massively popular on YouTube and is growing out a team to support his work had perhaps the quote of the festival for me: “The other day I was talking to somebody…and he’s like You keep talking about your business and you’re describing a media company “I like ‘strategy’ and I like ‘planning.’ When there is no strategy hope is kinda useless.” At the end of the session a lawyer who works on press freedom issues rose in the audience and paid tribute to Kurmasheva and others who could easily have gone to ground but instead showed up at the festival to advocate for those still behind bars It was a comment not a question that everyone could applaud The salt uprising of 1540 was ultimately crushed by the forces of the papacy. And it’s far from clear that the legacy of resistance to arbitrary authority is the reason that Perugians make bread without salt; some researchers have suggested that it’s an urban legend As one of those researchers told Atlas Obscura Has America ever needed a media defender more than now? Help us by joining CJR today After visiting some of Italy's hot spots I wanted to check out a lesser-visited city that a friend had recommended: Perugia The city, which is only about a two-hour drive from Rome is the capital of Central Italy's Umbria region Although it's often overlooked in favor of more popular tourist destinations I learned that Perugia has just as much to offer Here's what my trip was like and why I think this underrated location should be on everyone's travel bucket list which is located within the Province of Perugia and has invested significantly in keeping his region's culture and architecture intact Stopping here was a highlight of the trip — it truly felt like stepping back in time I stayed at the Sina Brufani, a 140-year-old property and the only 5-star hotel in the city center The hotel felt modern but had a distinct old-world charm I found it was more affordable than comparable properties in other cities My room offered beautiful views of the city and the surrounding greenery The property was also within walking distance of many of the city's major sites I was most excited to stay at Sina Brufani because of the pool in the wellness spa which has a transparent floor overlooking the ruins of a 3,000-year-old ancient Etruscan settlement This truly felt like a bucket-list experience, and I spent hours swimming while gawking at the historic details. Exploring on foot is my favorite pastime when traveling. I found Perugia to be very walkable and loved that the winding cobblestone streets featured local bars, restaurants, shops, and historic locations. I also visited the stunning Piazza IV Novembre, home to picturesque steps, Medieval architecture, and a bronze-and-marble fountain that dates back to the 13th century. The food in Perugia was incredible. I especially enjoyed dinner at Collins' Restaurant, which served traditional Umbrian cuisine. The seasonal menu, which featured goods from local producers, offered many of the region's token specialties, like truffles, Umbrian olive oil, and wild mushrooms. Some of my favorite meals when visiting Italy include the readily available grab-and-go sandwiches made with fresh bread, cheeses, and meats. The one I tried at a local café in Perugia comprised simply of fresh mozzarella and prosciutto. It was by far one of the best I've had. Full of history and picturesque villages, I can't wait to head back to the underrated Perugia. Since the city is less tourism-focused, there was a certain calmness that made it a welcome respite from nearby Rome. The local cuisine was fantastic and tapped into many of the area's local bounties. I also loved having the opportunity to intimately experience history in places like the hotel spa — undoubtedly one of the coolest experiences I've had while traveling.

Italian city has struggled to shake off image associated with it as a result of murder of Meredith Kercher The mayor of Perugia, where the British student Meredith Kercher was murdered has apologised for allowing a controversial TV series co-produced by Amanda Knox to be filmed in the Italian city Angry residents displayed banners reading “Rispetto per Meredith” (respect for Meredith) around the city as the crew arrived to film scenes of Blue Moon an eight-part drama chronicling Knox’s battle to clear her name of the murder that will be aired on the Disney-owned streaming service Hulu Kercher, 21, was murdered in the house she shared with Knox on 1 November 2007 partly undressed and with several stab wounds Knox, 37, and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, were twice convicted of the murder before being definitively acquitted in 2015 in a court ruling that described “stunning flaws” in the investigation that led to their convictions a medieval city appreciated for its cobbled alleyways has long struggled to shake off the image associated with it as a result of the notorious murder and the years of legal wrangling that followed “For too long, Perugia was sadly famous in the world as the city of Meredith Kercher’s murder,” Margherita Scoccia, a former councillor, said on Facebook “Is it right that our community is associated with such a terrible crime again?” saying that when deciding to authorise filming she had overlooked “the people and their sorrow She explained that her administration could have refused permission but that the scenes “would have been filmed in any other town in our region” Ferdinandi said hosting the series allowed the authorities to have greater control over protecting the city’s image “because we are able to view and authorise every scene” Hulu said Blue Moon was “based on the true story of how Knox was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate and her 16-year odyssey to set herself free” The Kercher family said last week that they found it “difficult to understand” how the series served any purpose which is being co-produced by Monica Lewinsky who was at the centre of a 1990s media storm after an affair with the then US president Knox and Sollecito spent four years in prison before their release in 2011. Since then, Knox earned a reported £3.5m for her memoir, took part in a Netflix documentary about the case in 2016 and has been the subject of other books and films The filming of the drama comes a few months after a Florence court upheld a slander conviction against Knox for wrongly accusing Patrick Lumumba claimed last week that his client had still not received the compensation money that Knox was ordered to pay over the allegation Rudy Guede, who was the only person definitively convicted of the murder, was released from prison in November 2021 after completing 13 years of a 16-year-sentence. but that’s part of what makes it so appealing Perugia holds its own when it comes to Italian cultural riches ornate former palaces and cobbled squares populating the beautifully

of mostly medieval and Renaissance works primarily from Umbrian artists across the ages Alongside the extensive permanent collection sits a room for temporary exhibitions and elsewhere around the gallery you’ll see displays covering jewellery Local flavours and specialities are easy to come by in Perugia so don’t waste any time getting stuck into the regional cuisine traditionally made with just flour and water Popular additions include spoletina (tomatoes Also made in Umbria is Pecorino di Norcia – a yellow crumbly sheep’s cheese – and Italy’s beloved Baci chocolate “kisses” which are

subsequent extensions rebuilding and decoration across the centuries – beginning in the late 13th century – is a fascinating one and deserves an hour or so of your time before you enter the gallery proper Gabriella Clare Marino / Unsplash Like so many Italian destinations Perugia is home to a range of beautiful churches that are worth seeking out stretching out grandly across the top of Piazza IV Novembre and holding various renowned artworks in its gothic confines such as Federico Barocci’s high-drama La Deposizione Dalla Croce In contrast to the bold cathedral is the humble Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo set in a peaceful location north of the city centre and built in an unusual circular shape with a domed roof It’s believed to be one of the oldest churches in the region Size matters when it comes to defence towers which perhaps explains why this behemoth medieval structure was built to 42m (138ft) high it rewards those who ascend its 232 steps with fantastic views out across the

Umbrian capital "I apologise to those who felt betrayed by this choice" said Vittoria Ferdinandi in an open letter will chronicle the sixteen-year battle led by Amanda Knox to clear her name along with Meredith Kercher’s boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were both convicted of Kercher's murder twice The pair spent four years in prison before their release in 2011 and official acquittal in 2015 The filming of the series coincides with the 17-year anniversary of Kercher's death Her family stated that they found it “difficult to understand” how the series served any purpose Knox has reportedly earned over €4.2m from her memoir as well as being the subject of numerous books and films Since Kercher's murder made global headlines almost 20 years ago the residents of the historic Italian town of Perugia have been fighting to reclaim its reputation film crews were met with bans reading "Rispetto per Meredith” ("Respect for Meredith") Perugia was sadly famous in the world as the city of Meredith Kercher’s murder." "Is it right that our community is associated with such a terrible crime again?” Amanda Knox is one of the series' co-producers who many remember for her affair with former US president Bill Clinton in the 1990s Vittoria Ferdinandi stated: “We couldn’t block the production explaining that the scenes “would have been filmed in any other town in our region” Ferdinandi claimed filming in Perugia would allow the town to retain some oversight no the series: "We felt that having the scenes filmed here would have been a greater element of guarantee and control…” the pain alive in their flesh while making the decision," added Ferdinandi In June, an Italian court upheld a slander conviction against Knox, for wrongly accusing Patrick Lumumba, who owned a bar in Perugia, of murdering Kercher. Rudy Guede remains the only person to have been definitively convicted of the murder He was released from prison in November 2021 after serving 13 years of his 16-year sentence The university student was found lifeless on January 29th The Perugia State Police personnel have executed an order for the application of the precautionary measure of house arrest issued by the investigating judge of the Perugia Court against an 18-year-old Italian citizen resident in Rome held responsible for the crime of instigation or aiding in the suicide of a university student found lifeless – last January 29 – in an apartment on Via del Prospetto in Perugia The disappearance of the 19-year-old had been reported on January 24 by his sister who was also enrolled at the University of Perugia a first-year Computer Science student living away from home had disappeared shortly after leaving a hostel where he was staying which occurred around 10:19 in the morning of the same day It was then the manager of the apartment where the 29-year-old's body was found who unable to contact the tenant to discuss the payment of the rent and having learned from social networks the news of a missing boy in Perugia decided to contact the State Police on the afternoon of January 46 fearing it was the same person and thus allowing the officers to find the lifeless body of the young man during the inspection by the police and the operators of the Provincial Office of Scientific Police five cell phones and XNUMX SIM cards were found The room was in order and there were no signs of wounds on the boy's body from the first examination carried out by the coroner led to the presumption that death could be attributed to a voluntary act the fact that the rent of the studio flat was unknown to the sister and family members and the inexplicable presence of multiple cell phones and phone cards were facts that made it necessary to start an investigation to have confirmation not only of the causes of death but also of the context in which the event had occurred The witness statements taken from family members and acquaintances did not allow for a plausible explanation as to why a young man apparently calm and without particular problems could have concealed such circumstances regarding his private life With the constant coordination of this Office the Flying Squad and the COSC Umbria Postal and Communications Police have therefore concentrated their investigative activity on the analysis of the telephone and computer equipment used by the 19-year-old the records of conversations and communications that the latter had had in some chats or channels of which he was an active user also because most of the IT tools were equipped with passwords and no document contained elements to reveal the access data Thanks to the particular expertise of the delegated judicial police it was possible to access the IT tools and obtain from them fundamental information to reconstruct the relationships that the young man had with other people and above all to understand how the death occurred had relationships with various interlocutors online and above all had established a more confidential one with an interlocutor to whom she had confided her problems her anxieties and intolerance regarding university life and the thought of taking her own life The particularly in-depth examination of the contacts with this individual allowed us to ascertain that the 19-year-old had asked his virtual friend for advice regarding the choice of the most suitable most painless means to carry out that extreme gesture being incited and encouraged several times by the suspect to do so The chats extracted from the meticulous work of the police have provided seriously circumstantial elements on the fact that it could have been his virtual interlocutor who supported the 19-year-old's choice to carry out the act by ingesting drugs encouraging him and also reassuring him on the fact that by using opiates he would not feel any pain but pleasure after having informed herself with some "Telegram" contacts on the purchase and shipping methods had managed to purchase the drug from another user of the chat having everything sent to an inpost locker (collection and storage point for parcels) the 24-year-old went to the apartment he had rented in the virtual room and through a conversation on a computer platform right before taking the drugs he told his friend that he didn't have the courage to do it inducing him to take the drugs and take his own life there is another dramatic and crude detail; the student's interlocutor having received news from the latter that the drugs had been taken was only concerned about the possible risks of being identified The identification of the subject in the current suspect was particularly laborious and complex; thanks to the investigations of the Flying Squad and the COSC Umbria on the devices used by the victim it was possible to trace the IP address of the suspect - usually using multiple nicknames in chats with no criminal record and belonging to an absolutely normal family context The overall elements collected allowed us to hypothesize the crime of incitement or aiding suicide against the indicated subject and it was decided to request a precautionary measure against him not only considering the risk of repetition of crimes of the same nature given that the subject is very present online and participates in many groups and social channels that often include very young people but also a serious and concrete risk of tampering with evidence The investigating judge at the Court of Perugia shared the accusatory statement both in terms of the serious evidence and the precautionary needs and issued the precautionary measure requested house arrest with a ban on communicating with people other than those of his own family The measure was carried out this morning and the young man was subjected to a search at the end of which three cell phones he was using were seized represents only the first step in the investigation as the office deems it essential to continue the investigations to understand how the young man obtained the drugs that could not be sold freely and above all the reasons for the possession of cell phones and cards not justifiable with his life as a student and his economic conditions Thanks to the examination of the chats it has already been possible to identify the alleged seller of the drugs used to commit the extreme act a subject who is also very young and living in another Region recipient for this reason of a search warrant issued by this office and also executed this morning at the end of which over 10 thousand euros in cash and two cell phones

brand of note – Saint Laurent Jacquemus – and chances are they’ve been overtly influenced by a shoe designer extraordinaire André Perugia probably had a finger in the pie designing them He was an obsessive admirer of the foot and pushed the boundaries of all the out-of-the-box variations one could possibly get away with to cover/ steady/ decorate/ expose the foot taking the sensible foot covering to dizzying new heights In his book ‘From Eve to Rita Hayworth’ Perugia famously claimed that the way to unveil a woman’s personality was to study her feet he was known for chatting to his creations – not unlike Geppetto to Pinocchio tongue-in-cheek designs have immeasurably influenced the world of fancy footwear since the man’s humble beginnings in in a backstreet workshop in 1909 André Perugia (1893 – 1977) wasn’t born in the boot-shaped country of Italy as one may have assumed from his surname; instead he was born in Nice France – but was in fact of Italian descent Growing up in his Italian father’s workshop he learnt the tricks of the trade and at 16 opened his own ‘shop’ inside the window of a hotel He soon clocked that Rue Faubourg St Honoré was the centre of the Parisian designer universe and promptly catapulted squarely into the centre of all this frenetic creative activity he worked as a maker in an aircraft factory – this schooling in science technology and precision stood him in good stead for his own craft Perugia knew that “a pair of shoes must be perfect as an equation and adjusted down to the last millimeter A career breakthrough came when fashion maestro Paul Poiret commissioned Perugia after WWI and this firmly sealed his reputation as a formidable and highly sought-after shoe couturier His footwear was pure sculpture and throughout his career he worked with top names in the industry Callot Soeurs and Hubert de Givenchy were legendary He had a lifelong contract with stalwart shoe manufacturer I Miller and his clients in the twenties included the glamorous stars of the silver screen and cabaret Mistinguette and Pola Negri whose legendary legs and dainty feet no doubt went to great lengths to inspire Perugia Being an avid collector and appreciator of art his friends and collaborators included heavyweights Andy Warhol He experimented with fabrics and colours and embraced new technologies with gusto His fish pumps made with overlaid kid suede complete with decorative ‘scales’ and staring eye were a tribute to French cubist artist George Braque and even Picasso was honoured with a floating sandal design in 1950 that later inspired a remake by Saint Laurent A year later André Perugia introduced the world to his ‘needle heel’ a four inch tall and ‘mind-bending’ thin heel with a ‘subtle swooping‘ shape The fifties – and decades to come – would produce variations on Perugia’s needle heel At the time publicity and admiration for Perugia’s creations were plentiful The Herald Statesman  reports in 1955, “The shoe which has had the greatest influence is Perugia/Givenchy’s ‘disappearing pump’ introduced in Paris and shown in this column early this year and this Fall finds versions of its straight-across throat line in all top shoe collections because the throat line vanishes into deeply cleft sides which make even the rest of the shoe invisible when seen head on.” It seems André Perugia designed his shoes for both pleasure and pain Ultimately what counted was the thrill of pushing the limits of the humble chaussure transforming it into an outrageously titillating piece of wearable art to adorn the foot what an indulgence and privilege to walk in them André Perugia has a lot to answer for our universal obsession with the shoe as the ultimate object/accessory of beauty and desire; the perfect piece of fashion that fits all body sizes understood that basic principle only too well and throughout his illustrious career single-handedly provided us with the quirky the unthinkable … feeding our fantasies and stimulating our appetites for footwear perhaps the most extraordinary feature of Perugia’s work is how refreshingly modern and timeless it is: the shoes he created in the twenties forties or fifties would look as modern and contemporary on the shelves of the world’s top department stores today as they did back then which is a tell-tale sign of a modern classic of design that passed the test of time with flying colours His final collaboration was with Charles Jourdan who was consultant to the company in the sixties and to whom he left his personal archive after he died in 1977 at the age of 84 Today André Perugia’s body of work is guarded in museum collections across the globe with die-hard shoe enthusiasts flocking to catch a glimpse of the products created by the genius

Coverage on Ukraine has also brought about broader discussions about European defence that the war has implications beyond Ukraine: "We should just be reminding people how close [Europe is] to a full-scale war the biggest land war in Europe since World War II."

he manages to capture the humanity of his subjects His photographs become a powerful vehicle of communication able to make us reflect on the challenges and hopes of those living in vulnerable situations The nobility that shines through the faces of adults and the depth of the children’s gazes speak to us of an authentic humanity a desire for redemption that is universal and timeless At a time when we face global and local challenges today’s exhibition reminds us of the importance of listening to the stories of others understanding the experiences of those around us and never forgetting the value of solidarity and inclusion.” “Palazzo della Penna strongly reaffirms its vocation as a center of contemporary art by opening its doors to the production of an absolutely prominent figure in the history of photography worldwide,” said deputy mayor with responsibility for culture Marco Pierini “She who is considered the mother of American social photography takes us into the heart of the socio-economic implications of the Great Depression in contact with human dramas and miseries always treated with empathy and sincerity through images that have become symbols of an era The series made in the mid-1930s on the emigration of California agricultural workers represents an extraordinary body of work capable of effectively documenting facts and conditions while at the same time fixing motions of the soul that still speak to our consciousness today We believe that this initiative can contribute to better position the Umbrian capital in the Italian panorama of major exhibitions.” “We are honored to contribute to the restart of a space with enormous potential like Palazzo della Penna through collaboration with the Perugia administration,” commented Camera’s secretary general “Our Foundation was born ten years ago with a precise mission: the dissemination and promotion of photographic art also in the particular sense of image education An activity that we are happy to propose also in this territory a program of meetings aimed at deepening the topical content that the exhibition brings will soon be publicized.” "The challenge was to get out of the more classic track by also going beyond iconic images such as Migrant Mother," concluded curator Monica Poggi “We focused on ten particularly intense years in which Lange worked for the U.S government for the purpose of documenting the conditions of migrants of the great economic and environmental crisis but testifies to how photography can trigger concrete social changes PIACENZA: Maar 20, Romanò 18, Simon 11, Bovolenta 4, Brizard 4, Mandiraci, Scanferla (L1), Galassi 7, Andringa 4, Gueye 2, Salsi.

Umberto in Perugia will reopen to the public financed by the PNNR Parks and Gardens Fund to the tune of 2 million euros Built in 1575 at the behest of Cardinal Fulvio della Corgna and probably designed by Perugian architect Galeazzo Alessi the Villa is once again accessible to visitors in a new guise.The work focused on redefining the still-recognizable topographies of the green areas outside the Villa as they have sedimented over the centuries The Cardinal’s Bath was also consolidated and the interior paintings were restored as well as the removal of architectural barriers interventions that will be completed during 2026 The main interventions involved the arrangement of the entrance and access paths through the restoration of the rainwater collection and regimentation system and the reconstitution of the boundaries of the side hedge of laurel (Laurus nobilis) We then moved on to work on the first hemicycle facing terrace distinguished by the presence of the Heron fountain on the parterre in front of and to the side of the villa with the reactivation of the existing fountain will evoke the garden design of formal eighteenth-century inspiration preserving the plano-altimetric base modeled in the early twentieth century After the restoration of the perimeter wall the camellia theater and the new vegetable garden area will become accessible again with the arrangement of the repotting Greenhouse and the existing iron arbors the planting of a pomarium of ancient Umbrian varieties as well as the securing of the space of the ruins of collapsed ancient greenhouses The executive design is signed by architect Maria Cristina Tullio with the collaboration of architects Elisa Monteduro and Sandro Polci; for the structural aspects Structures BCD projects and engineer Giuseppe Carluccio provided support; for the facilities The agronomic aspect was handled by Isabella Dalla Ragione Safety coordination was performed by Tecnostudio; the contractor was Sensi Leonello SRL; the subcontractor Ecolservice SRL The lighting system was carried out by Pegam SRL Enhancement and communication activities were entrusted to the Centro di Ateneo per i Musei Scientifici of the University of Perugia Supervision of the restorations was carried out by Consorzio Aureo Among the treasures preserved by the Villa del Colle del Cardinale the Cardinal ’ s Bath is a complex building that according to recent studies conducted by a team from the Department for Innovation in Biological Agri-food and Forestry Systems (DIBAF) of the University of Tuscia consisting of the superimposition of new and pre-existing constructions in direct connection with the forest and the hanging garden The Cardinal’s Bath has undergone extraordinary maintenance works for the safety and structural consolidation of the entire area These have been complemented by conservation work on the frescoes by Marcello Leopardi that decorate the rooms of the Library first by surveying the different pictorial phases then retracing the executive process of the paintings recognizing previous restorations and various tampering The public will also be offered the opportunity to take a virtual tour of the Bathrooms as they must have once presented themselves The different stages are being carried out by an interdisciplinary research team composed of art historians Paola Pogliani and Michele Benucci supplemented by co-financing from the University of Tuscia enabled the activation of two annual research grants awarded to Michele Benucci and Valeria Valentini the first tranche of the work has been completed; construction sites for the second tranche were delivered in March 2025; the contractor is Tecnoappalti of engineer Michele Coviello Completion of the work and restoration of the decorations is scheduled for 2026 “The months of closure of the Villa allowed not only to carry out the redevelopment of the garden and to start important construction sites such as that of the recovery of the Cardinal’s Bath but also to rethink the monumental complex in its most varied declinations We have embraced Brandi’s lesson that in order to conserve it is first necessary to know,” said Ilaria Batassa scientific director of the Villa del Colle del Cardinale “Research has been our Ariadne’s thread: it has helped us not only to plan What we are presenting today is a place still ’in the making,’ in the making with deep respect for its nature and with a view to a chorality and participation that are authentic and capable of strengthening the bond with communities.” In the year of the one hundred and fortieth anniversary of the birth of Gerardo Dottori a leading exponent of the Futurist movement the National Museums of Perugia - Regional Directorate National Museums Umbria is proposing at the National Gallery ofUmbria in Perugia a tribute to the artist to illustrate his artistic path through selected works little known to the general public curated by the Dottori Archives in the persons of Massimo Duranti Francesca Duranti and with the collaboration of Beatrice Falcione.In room thirty-nine in which the permanent itinerary of the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria currently concludes with an opening on the historicized twentieth century on the occasion of the 20th Day of the Contemporary promoted by AMACI - Associazione Musei d’Arte Contemporanea Italiana the GNU wants to initiate a series of in-depth studies dedicated to the movements and artists that marked the “short century.” The first protagonist of this new initiative is Gerardo Dottori one of the personalities who dominated the art scene in Umbria in the first half of the century the Perugia exhibition traces all the languages tackled by the artist during his expressive itinerary: from pointillism-pointillisme to the dynamism of the mechanical medium of the early 1910s from the visual-auditory sensations of the mid-1910s to the aeropictorial developments of the early 1920s a few years before the historical end of the Marinetti movement with the death in 1944 of its founder the only one signed with the monogram of the artist’s initials Made during Dottori’s stay in the Lombard capital it reveals the influence of Divisionist painting by artists such as Giovanni Segantini and Gaetano Previati particularly evident in the filamentous brushstroke technique Tied to the artist’s Futurist beginnings is Motociclista (Motorcyclist) which depicts the theme of the dynamism of motor vehicles influenced by a fascination with speed: the result is an effect in which the motorcyclist seems to be enveloped by the landscape The work was exhibited at the Casa d’Arte Bragaglia and donated with a dedication to Marinetti where the view from above of Lake Trasimeno ideally positions the viewer at the center of the scene extending the perception of space and giving the painting a lyrical quality Similar painting was present at the 1924 Venice Biennale to which Dottori The exhibition aims to offer the public an in-depth understanding of the artist enhanced also by the suggestion of a “Dottorian” itinerary in the Umbrian territory which winds through the places that preserve the artist’s works from the Civic Museum of Palazzo della Penna in Perugia to Tuoro sul Trasimeno The exhibition will be enriched by a didactic apparatus which will illustrate the scientific motivations behind the exhibition project guided tours) aimed at further deepening the knowledge of Gerardo Dottori and to reveal unpublished or little-known aspects of him For all information, you can visit the

Perugia is playing home against Carpi on Fri Meet Dr Francesca Perugia – housing researcher on a mission to turn data into action ensuring communities and policymakers are ready for the challenges of a changing world Whether she’s diving into disaster-responsive housing or into the ocean as a marathon swimmer she’s all about pushing boundaries and making real impact Tell me briefly about your field of research?My research looks at how risks brought on by climate change impact housing including how communities understand risk and how this impacts their decisions But it’s not just about identifying the risks it’s about making sure that policymakers get the insights they need to create policies that reflect what people really need rather than just one-size-fits-all solutions I enjoyed working closely with policymakers on our Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) funded national enquiry on disaster risk and housing to get a deeper understanding of how they make decisions We always see the final outcomes of policies but we don’t often get the chance to unpack the “why” behind those decisions One of the most fulfilling aspects of this project was hearing from people who told us how our research has directly influenced their work It’s such a rewarding feeling knowing our work didn’t just sit on a shelf somewhere but makes a real difference to the sector If you could sit-in with any Faculty for a day There’s always conversation in my field about costs I’d love to sit down with economists and find some kind of middle ground where we’re not just thinking about financial profits but also considering the broader social and environmental values that matter What are your passions/hobbies outside of work I swam solo in the Rottnest Channel Swim three years ago Swimming is my way of getting out of my own head We go for long swims which is followed by an even longer coffee session What’s a fun fact about you that your colleagues would probably not know I’ve actually worked at Curtin for 14 years but most people think I’ve only been here for about four or five I started off developing online learning materials through OUA It wasn’t until 2021 that I became full-time staff What’s the most valuable thing you’ve learnt in your career so far Some of the most interesting and unexpected opportunities have come from conversations I never thought much of at the time What’s a piece of advice you would give your fellow colleagues There are so many brilliant people in research but what really sets people apart isn’t just being smart even when things don’t work out the first time The thing about academia is you don’t always get the answers you want right away Connect with Francesca!
