"We have reached barbarism, animality: we shoot a human being as if it were a public spectacle. We have gone back ninety years, to the last time a man was hanged in public in the United States. It is truly shameful." With these words, Vincenzo De Luca, in his usual weekly Facebook live address, comments on the decision announced by U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whom he referred to as "the slicked-back one." What is happening in the United States with the current ruling group at the helm of the country is pushing the world towards levels of barbarism and loss of fundamental human values that leave us truly shocked." The mayor of Salerno describes the announcement as a return to practices that the United States had abandoned for almost a century, and harshly criticizes the Trump administration: "What is happening in the United States with the current ruling group at the helm of the country is pushing the world towards levels of barbarism and loss of fundamental human values that leave us truly shocked." We will have a political season that will record the further fragmentation of the political landscape of our country. Every election campaign eve sees the birth of new lists, new groupings, all that series of nonsense and hypocrisies that serve simply one purpose: to guarantee a candidacy to as many people as possible – he continues – I happened to particularly observe "Civic Project." I called it "Civic Opportunism": it is a way to try to create spaces for candidacy. That’s all." De Luca then comments on the eve of the Italian electoral season, targeting the political formation promoted by Alessandro Onorato, which continues to gather support even in Campania, including from regional councilors so far close to the former president of the Campania Region: "We will have a political season that will record the further fragmentation of the political landscape of our country. I have been repeating for decades that there is a condition of total anomaly in Italy. When you need to make political choices on major issues (healthcare, transportation, taxation, justice, foreign policy), you can have two different positions, three, four, five hypotheses for solving problems or lines on which to position yourself to tackle the issues. But you can’t have twenty lines of economic policy, twenty healthcare policies, twenty transportation policies." They pretend to contribute to the governance of the country, but in reality, they are great charades and initiatives of opportunism that simply serve to open spaces for the candidacies of a few characters in search of an author." #VincenzoDeLuca #Elezioni #PoliticaUSA (translated)

The heavy rain and wind have hit Southern Italy, causing significant damage in Calabria, Campania, Sicily, and Puglia, with impassable roads, cars in the sea, and schools closed, while the authorities have issued alerts and urged to limit movements. #CrisiClimatica #Maltempo #AllertaArancione (translated)

American Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Friday that Washington will prohibit any transaction with what he called a "dishonest entity," intensifying the Trump administration's campaign aimed at dismantling this jurisdiction. #SUA #CurteaPenalăInternațională #NaviPillay (translated)

BobbyD criticized the public conflicts between Grindeanu, Bolojan, Nicușor Dan, and Luca Baghetaru, stating that they distracted attention from political games and the distribution of power. He claimed that, during this time, a person who benefited from the presumption of innocence was in custody. BobbyD said he had been sued after he publicly requested, without naming any company, that Romanians be allowed to vote freely according to their own conscience. He accused that people who had supported each other during the electoral campaign and had declared that they fought against the system that annulled the elections had come to attack each other. The author argued that "the System" had entered into a panic because more and more Romanians no longer believed in televised manipulation, political speeches, and propaganda. In his opinion, division prevented people from uniting and allowed those in power to pursue their interests unimpeded. BobbyD also wrote that Romania risked becoming a country where citizens felt powerless in the face of decisions made without them and interests that he considered contrary to the national good. He expressed sadness for the people who had hoped that the vote and the voice of citizens would matter and stated that the country could not be saved through conflicts on TikTok and attacks between former allies. #România #Politică #Manipulare (translated)

The High Court of Cassation and Justice motivated the decision through which Dominic Fritz was deprived of the mandate of mayor of Timișoara, establishing that he was in a conflict of interest after signing a zoning plan from a company that had loaned him money during the electoral campaign, and the prohibition of holding a public position for three years does not restrict his right to work in the private sector. #DominicFritz #ConflictdeInterese #ÎnaltaCurte (translated)

The author wrote that, according to a study by Openpolis and Con i Bambini, in Campania, 16.4% of adolescents recognized at least six of the nine signs of problematic social media use, including using screens to escape negative feelings. #SocialMedia #Adolescenti #SaluteMentale #IT (translated)

Marco M.M. reported that a disturbed system was forming over the central Tyrrhenian Sea, with rain on eastern Sardinia and between southern-central Tuscany and Upper Lazio. For tomorrow morning, he forecasted showers in northern Sardinia and in the coastal and flat areas of Tuscany and Lazio; he added that the most intense precipitation would probably remain at sea, although he did not rule out strong phenomena along the coasts. In the afternoon, according to his forecasts, scattered showers would arrive in central Sardinia, in Lower Lazio, and in northern Campania. He also announced the arrival of another disturbed system for Wednesday afternoon, expected to mainly affect the North-West and Tuscany. In the South, he predicted increasing cloudiness, but without extensive or significant phenomena. Finally, he indicated a moderate decrease in maximum temperatures in the areas affected by precipitation, stationary values in the South, and generally stable minimum temperatures. #Meteo #Pioggia #Maltempo (translated)

Marco M.M. had written that the rain would return during the week, but it was not yet clear whether it would mark a lasting change, with the opening of the "Atlantic gate," or whether it would be a significant but isolated event. He welcomed the incoming precipitation, noting that the anticyclone had dominated for a long time and that the soils were suffering. According to him, the areas most affected by the bad weather would be those along the Tyrrhenian coast, particularly from Liguria to Campania. He added that he would follow the evolution day by day, in accordance with his recovery. #meteo #pioggia #inverno (translated)

Nicușor explains to us, with a serious face, that AUR is not allowed in government because it "affects our relationship with our partners." And we are not having early elections, because "the investors" do not want that. Interesting. I thought that the master of the country is the people, but it seems that it is a group of investors without a name, without a face, and without a vote. How convenient it is to have "investors" and "partners" in your pocket! When you want something, you say they want it. When you don't want something, you say they don’t want it. And you never have to account for it, because who is going to ask them? Let's simplify: in the next elections, let only these "investors" run. At least we won't waste time with ballots, with campaigns, and with millions of naive people who believe their vote matters. They decide anyway.

“ORTA NOVA SOUND LAB” FROM ORTA NOVA (PUGLIA) ON “BROADWAY WORLD,” NEW YORK, by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA SOURCE: https://www.broadwayworld.com/italy/article/Orta-Nova-Sound-Lab-Launches-Youth-Community-Band-in-Southern-Italy-20260928?fbclid=IwY2xjawUnzKtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mAWJyaWQRMHZzU2xWWTdTNU5UMDFNY1lzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeKFYDfacdBYHnYGZu4M9ZmxOT_wnVa7M53_p_1yfAmpSZSvn3ZDHF-BXqMr4_aem_Jd46xeSFwcUn5qapLvtu8w “Orta Nova Sound Lab Launches Youth Community Band in Southern Italy” The season includes free training with instrumental workshops for winds and percussion, ensemble lessons, and more. By: Chloe Rabinowitz ‘Orta Nova Sound Lab’, a new community music project in Puglia, southern Italy, is creating a brand-new youth-driven community band through free instrumental training, ensemble workshops and a season of live performances. Promoted by the ‘Associazione Nazionale Bande da Giro (ANBG)’ and funded by the Italian Ministry of Culture, it reimagines the brass band tradition as a tool for inclusion, cultural growth and social regeneration. Since the Italian government’s 2023 “Caivano Decree” (Decree-Law 123/2023), which targeted youth distress, educational poverty and juvenile crime, attention has turned to communities in Southern Italy where culture, education and public space can be rebuilt together. Orta Nova, in the Puglia region, is part of that broader conversation as ‘Orta Nova Sound Lab’ replying to local Mafia with music: a “social laboratory” that connects young people, schools, associations and institutions around a shared, tangible goal, a band of their own. It is the first initiative of its kind in Italy, to repurpose the distinctive tradition of the ‘touring brass bands’ and youth orchestra within a ministerial call devoted to urban peripheries and social vulnerability. Its explicit aim is to offer young people a real alternative to the screen and to the youth disenfranchisement associated with the anti-mafia “Caivano model”. The project was presented on September 21 at Luca ed Erminio Ferrandina C-Lab MAO facility and is funded under the Ministry of Culture’s public call for the promotion of musical practices in suburban and socially Mafia-rooted vulnerable areas, and it is supported by the Municipality of Orta Nova. Project partners include the cultural association APS MAO FM 19.77, the “A. Olivetti” secondary school, the “Sandro Pertini” comprehensive school, the Music Art association and C.I.S.A. Foggia. At the heart of the project is a simple idea: give young people a reason to be together, in person, making something real. “A music band is aggregation!,” said Antonella Spagnoletti, ANBG project director. She explained that the band means cohesion, and that bringing young people together to train and live differently from the social-media world is among the association’s primary goals. Mayor Domenico Di Vito called it an important project that can make a real difference, with all the ingredients to connect the town’s cultural and social networks with anti-mafia roots. He added that the administration is committed to making the initiative sustainable, structured and lasting. The presentation also involved Benedetto Grillo, president of ANBG; Grazia Maria Starace, regional councillor; Sebastiano Battista, councillor for relations with third-sector organizations; Vittoria Mastrogiacomo, councillor for culture; and Alfredo Coppola, representing the Olivetti school. Journalist Giuseppe Di Bisceglie moderated. The season ahead: Free training: instrumental workshops for winds and percussion, ensemble lessons and rehearsals led by qualified teachers and conductors, open to aspiring musicians, families, schools and citizens. October: a parade of marching bands and youth orchestra through the streets of Orta Nova, Puglia, southern Italy. November-December: concerts by the Gran Concerto Bandistico di Conversano and the Gran Concerto Bandistico “Biagio Abbate” of Bisceglie, giving the young musicians a chance to learn from professional ensembles. A special evening of women’s music with the all-female Orchestra Note di Puglia, reinforcing the project’s values of inclusion and equal opportunity. January 2027: the first concert of the new Orta Nova community band. In particular, ‘Orta Nova Sound Lab (Community Band and Social Regeneration through Music)’ is a project of the ‘Associazione Nazionale Bande da Giro (ANBG),’ a national association of bands active across south-Italians regions like Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise and Puglia. Funded by the Italian Ministry of Culture and supported by the Municipality of Orta Nova, it offers free music education and live performance opportunities to strengthen inclusion, cultural growth and community cohesion.
