An unforgettable experience also because the girls from Sasso Marconi, without being the favorites, have shown themselves to be a true, cohesive group. Girls capable of having fun, off the court, visiting an imperial city, and giving their all on the parquet. For the 'Sassulen' four victories in as many outings and, indeed, the success at an event that attracted, in addition to the girls from Sasso and the home team, also a German representative and two Canadians. The protagonists of the success are Jade Fabbri, the captain and then Giulia Di Falco, Sara Fabbri, Margherita Villani, Giulia Carrozza, Carolina Selleri, Emma Carboni, Francesca Masotti, and with the special help of Diva Giorgini, Noemi Biondi and Noa Campalastri. A home-made team, with the contribution of some local realities. Brave on the field, but also elegant thanks to the new tracksuits and top sponsored by Joana Bodea of ​​Caffè del Sole and Cristian D'Andria and Camilla Bertocchi of the Sasso Marconi driving school. Having said that the person responsible for the trip was the manager Adriano Rinaldi, the under 19 Csi Sasso Marconi ended up finding the surprise in the egg, or rather, the most beautiful surprises. Not only a success that had not been foreseen, but also an adventure so full of satisfaction and a little fear for an injury that in the end only caused a lot of fear.

free admission Marconi Day on the 150th anniversary of his birth info@infosasso.it https://marconidays.it/ Today (21 May 2022) the BBC has received a rather extraordinary award based in central Italy near the city of Bologna and with these words it acknowledged the milestone of 100 years of continuous BBC broadcasting: “For the importance of the BBC radio and television network which is celebrating its 100th anniversary and in which Marconi played an important role The first British Broadcasting Corporation's radio programme was broadcast from Marconi's London studio on November 14 BBC would become one of the most important broadcast public companies and evolving into one of the world's largest and most important radio and television networks.”  It is both an historic and highly significant award as it reminds us of the intertwining story of Marconi and the BBC at the dawn of radio Marconi had begun his experiments with radio in his native Italy at the end of the 19th century Passionate and obsessive about his new discovery so left for England in 1896 to pursue the venture there He had the luck to be Anglo-Italian so was fluent in both languages and also had some advantageous social connections through which he managed to interest the British Post Office in his experiments with wireless telegraphy Shortly afterwards he set up the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company in 1900 and by 1914 it had progressed to the transmission of speech By the early 1920s there were Marconi stations at Writtle near Chelmsford and in London (with its famous code name 2LO) When the British Broadcasting Company was created on 18 October 1922 the Marconi Company would be one of its six major founding members When the first broadcast was made a month later it would be from the Marconi HQ in central London beginning with the immortal words: 2LO calling… with one radio ‘first’ following another: first news bulletin and daily lives and public discourse were changed forever Marconi’s key role in the BBC’s history was never forgotten the flags on Broadcasting House in central London were lowered in his memory and all BBC Radio networks fell silent for two minutes in recognition of its founding father The use which may be made of these new powers Marconi had broadcast on the BBC in 1929: “I must leave to your imaginations the use which may be made of these new powers They will probably be as wonderful as anything of which we have experience today.” We take Marconi’s pioneering spirit of wonder into our celebration of BBC 100 as we look to a future of continued innovation and creativity And we are also mindful of ‘the use which may be made of these new powers’ of the key role of the BBC and of public service broadcasting in general – more important now than ever – to be a voice of clarity and truth for all our audiences With many thanks to the Citta Sasso Marconi and the Fondazione Marconi for this touching and prestigious award “For the importance of the BBC radio and television network and evolving into one of the world's largest and most important radio and television networks.”  beginning with the immortal words: 2LO calling… with

as rescuers worked under pounding rain throughout the night to save people in what has been described as the most severe flooding to affect Italy in 100 years The floods in the northern Emilia-Romagna region have claimed 13 lives as of Thursday evening An estimated 20,000 have been left homeless in a disaster that caused 23 rivers to burst their banks and 280 landslides after a landslide in Sasso

agency: “We’ve been cleaning up since 6am I live outside Faenza and in 2014 there was a flood but nothing like this – I’ve never seen anything like this one had slightly improved by Thursday afternoon “There are almost no more areas that are flooded,” said Matteo Raggi a spokesperson for the mayor of the Forlì-Cesena region “Mud remains … we are now cleaning the waste from the streets The big problem is the hillside areas that have been hit by landslides and trying to reach people there – many have been cut off because of the landslides but also because there is no mobile phone reception told La Repubblica it was the worst flood to affect Italy in a century It followed flooding in Emilia-Romagna and parts of Marche in early May in which two people died Six months’ worth of rain fell in two weeks Emilia-Romagna and other areas of northern Italy were blighted by a drought that dried out land 310 extreme weather events were registered Thirteen people were killed in floods in Marche last September and 12 people died in a landslide on the island of Ischia in late November “The only new thing to say about the latest floods is that two records were broken in 15 days in the same region,” said Luca Mercalli the president of the Italian Meteorological Society “An event like the one that occurred on 2 May might happen once in a century but then another hit 15 days later – having two occasions of intense rain within such a short timeframe Let's be clear, given the eleventh place in the standings with 37 points, the salvation of the yellow and blues now seems certain regardless of what the next results will be but, in order not to be influenced by what will happen on the other fields, captain Geroni and his teammates will have to do everything to take home the entire stake. Newly promoted after winning the last Eccellenza championship, the yellow and blues have had an up and down season at least in terms of results, but, thanks to the recent positive trend (five points in the last three despite two away games), the seasonal objective can now be considered achieved. To protect it, and to bid farewell to the friendly audience in a positive way, Pedrelli's band wants to try to beat the Cittadella Vis Modena, another ambitious newly promoted team led by former Sassese coach Mattia Gori. The Modena team, seventh at 43 and eager to reach professional football as soon as possible, is a far from easy opponent to face given the high quality of the squad, but the Sasso However, it has all the credentials to snatch the three points and thus present itself with greater serenity at the all-Bolognese derby scheduled for next Sunday at Corticella's home.

It's true, the calendar smiles on the yellow and blues (who in the last three will face Zenith Prato, Cittadella Vis Modena and Corticella), but a positive result today against Tau would mean mortgaging the salvation with three days to spare: this would be an extraordinary result for a newly promoted team.

As many of the spa town’s restaurants, including most recently Norse, Jamie’s Italian and Byron, have shut their doors, Sasso and Caffe Marconi continue to go from strength to strength. Family-run restaurant Sasso opened its doors in Princes Square, Harrogate, for the first time in May 1998 – the brainchild of Italian chef Stefano Lancellotti and his English wife Sara, along with her father Brian Ferguson. Named after Stefano’s home town of Sasso Marconi, just outside Bologna in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy, Sasso quickly built up a reputation across Harrogate and beyond for its home-made authentic Italian cuisine. And it is a reputation that Stefano and Sara have built on during the past two decades in Harrogate – Sasso has had an entry in the The Good Food Guide almost every year since 2008. We are delighted to celebrate Sasso’s 20th birthday and Caffe Marconi’s 10th birthday – we are incredibly grateful to all our loyal customers for supporting us over the past two decades. And he puts the restaurant and café’s longevity down to providing consistently good home-made authentic Italian food. When Sasso first opened, there were just two of us in the kitchen and three staff in the restaurant – now there are six of us cooking in the kitchen and nine staff out front. We are delighted that our authentic home-made Italian cooking and excellent customer service continues to inspire. After 10 years in Harrogate, Stefano, Sara and Brian decided to open a second venue in the town – and Caffe Marcon was born. An authentic Italian café, a few doors away from Sasso, the venue becomes a bustling pizzeria by night. Over the years. Stefano’s menu at Sasso has evolved, as well as the size of the restaurant. With just 60 covers in 1998, Stefano’s favourite dish then was Sformatino di funghi – individual porcini mushroom mousse with basil sauce. In 2018, with 110 covers in Sasso and Caffe Marconi, Stefano’s favourite meal is Tagliolini con aglio, olio e frutti di mare – home-made pasta ribbons with sweet garlic, calamari, courgette and a Sicilian breadcrumb and chilli topping! Cooking has changed during the past 20 years with new cooking methods including Sous Vide which has revolutionized cooking meat, ensuring all the flavor and tenderness is kept. And there has also been a move towards healthier eating – which is basically what Italian food is! The restaurant scene – and the way people hear about the different eateries – in Harrogate has changed in the past two decades – with the arrival of plenty of chains offering discount vouchers and meal deals. Sasso has tried to combat this by continuing to offer authentic Italian cooking at reasonable prices. Social media has changed the way people hear about us – it’s rare these days to get a word of mouth recommendation, it’s through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); © Harrogate Informer 2025 -

ufficiostampa@unimore.it il 17/09/2018 Alessi famously made his debut in the A-League at the age of 16 in an emphatic Sydney Derby in which Brendon Santalab rescued three points in the dying minutes for Western Sydney in 2014 A bright future was ahead for the youngster who went on to make 10 appearances for Wanderers including at the FIFA Club World Cup and a tense 62 minutes in the quarter-final of the AFC Asian Champions League against Guangzhou Evergrande In search of more game time Alessi made the trip up the F3 to Newcastle in 2016 with great ambition and a two-year deal his hopes were tragically crumbled as he tore his ACL in pre-season "I thought it was a good opportunity at a new club," Alessi told FTBL "I had no way of stopping an injury like that and it happened in the first few weeks "I had never had a serious injury like that and it was so difficult being out that long it was a good lesson for me in terms of how I take care of my body and prevent injuries "I've had a good run in the last few months now i feel very strong and my fitness is good."  Following his injury Alessi attempted to get his career back on track and signed for Manly United in the New South Wales NPL Alessi spent a few months getting back to full fitness before he jetted off to Italy at the end of the NPL season "I have an Italian passport and my grandparents were born in Italy," Alessi said "I'm staying with family near Modena where there is a real sense of community and where football is the basis of culture "Coming out of an NPL season and searching around the area for a club in the Serie C was difficult as it was late in their pre-season "Serie D was a great option because I knew I would get gametime and Sasso needed another central defender."  The fourth division in Italy is not fully proffessional and the 21-year-old has the ambition to make it to the Serie C next year "I definitely want to break into the third division next year," Alessi said "Where I am is a good level and it is very competitive "Every player is technically sound and very efficient on the ball in tight areas many teams like to play compact defensive and counter attacking football which is what I like." Alessi has already made his mark on the side since his international clearance and has made two appearances for Sasso playing 90 minutes in both games Probable formation (5-3-2): Fresia; Milan, Agnelli, Esposito, Amoabeng, Rrapaj¸ Biagi; Guida, Lordkipanidze; Zagre, Di Renzo. Corticella-Sasso Marconi, Lentigione-Sammaurese, United Riccione-San Marino, Tau Altopascio-Pistoiese and Zenith Prato-Piacenza are postponed to Sunday 11 May. At the end of the standings, two certain verdicts: Fiorenzuola and United Riccione in Eccellenza, Zenith in case of confirmation of the -15. In case he wins the appeal, Zenith with a victory over Piacenza (already safe) would get out of trouble, having a better goal difference in direct clashes with Sasso Marconi. At that point many would be at risk, with Progresso beating Ravenna and being safe. In case of relegation Zenith's live match (and therefore -15 confirmed) a playout would be certain with Sammaurese away against one between Corticella and San Marino. In good shape, the Tuscans of Simone Settesoldi, who in the last two away games, with Tuttocuoio and Pistoiese, have collected 6 points, interspersed with home draws against Prato and Sasso Marconi. For salvation, however, much more will be needed, namely beating the rossoblù and doing the same next Sunday against Piacenza. And then, hope. The referee is Graziano di Rossano. The other races: Piacenza-Tau Altopascio, Pistoiese-Corticella, Prato-Progresso, Ravenna-Lentigione, Sammaurese-United Riccione, San Marino-Forlì, Sasso Marconi-Cittadella Vis Modena, Tuttocuoio-Fiorenzuola. The ranking: Forlì 81; Ravenna 74; Lentigione 61; Tau 60; Pistoiese 58; Imolese 47; Cittadella Vis Modena 43; Prato 42; Tuttocuoio 40; Piacenza 38; Sasso Marconi 37; Progresso and San Marino 35; Corticella 33; Sammaurese 27; Zenith Prato, Fiorenzuola and United Riccione 22.
