Vesuvio.

- The longer a volcano is in this dormant state, the stronger and more violent the eruption will be. It is a scientific fact and it's because the pressure inside the volcano becomes larger. We speak not of something catastrophic, but about something that I describe as monstrous, says Francesco Russo.

A serious mistake is they had built residential buildings, hotels and restaurants near the top of the volcano's slopes. In many cases, it is about past illegal buildings that have been legalized and today you can not tear them down. First in 1996 became a national park volcano and then finally stopped building new houses. To this day forcing tens of thousands of people move would mean political suicide for a mayor of a small municipality.

Those who live here seem to be fatalists and shrugs when asked about the Vesuvius comes up. One exception is Domenico Mario Sorrentino, who is caretaker and lives in the beautiful Villa delle Ginestre which is a museum.

- There is not a day that I don't think of the volcano and are completely terrified of what might happen. A mass evacuation I think is difficult to implement. The chaos would be total, he says, where we stand on the terrace between the volcano and the beautiful Bay of Naples.

Nedi Napoli e poi muori( Neapolitan saying)

"Vedere Roma e morire," ho sentito.
Una cosa divertente è che cantiamo una canzone sulla Santa Lucia ogni dicembre 13 e che è originariamente una canzone che i pescatori napoletani cantavano.

To Tullio and all of my fabuloso Italian friends.

Hats off to creativity and artistry !!

You will enjoy reading the article in the MAY 2015 edition of Automobile Magazine.

This article presents a brief Bio on 25 influential car designers.

Oh ! The italian geniuses : Pininfarina (shorty wheat ?), Bertone, Giugiaro, Michelotti, Gandini, Scaglione and others.

Italy has been and still is a leader in design and style

Thanks William, I am just reading an Illustrated book by La Repubblica paper on Italian Rinascimento art. You know, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raffaello and countless other artists. When I go to Tuscany, where my son lives, there is not a church, even the small ones, without an art piece. Design is in our blood. Buona Pasqua.

Norge Norge är ett ruttet land:)
Sorry Norway. Its Easter now. Where's my manners.

They like to come here and drink cheap alcohol.
A "tradition" is going from Oslo to Strömstad Sweden the day before Good Friday.
But some cannot behave and almost create riots.

Up to 15,000 Norwegians with celebration in sight calculated invade Strömstad during Thursday Before Goodfriday. Several streets have been closed in the central parts of the city and the police have been preparing with great resources, including traffic police and police horses. On Thursday afternoon, 13 people have been arrested for drunkenness.

- There are persons who have distinguished themselves little more than the others. We have gone in between too little quarrel here and there, but basically there are no major hitches, says Peter Adlersson, spokesman at the Western Region.

That police horses have been commanded to Strömstad is very popular.
- There are many who want to talk to the riders and petting the horses. They have a very calming effect, he says.

Norwegians come over to Strömstad on Easter is nothing new, it's a tradition with many years' standing. As a preventive measure, both Strömstads liquor store closed today. Nevertheless, it is often drunk people and brawling during the day and evening.

- We have quite a lot of cells in Strömstad and, if necessary, we insert more than one of the cells. Unfortunately, it's also the occasional driving drunk a day like this, he says.

The traffic has stood still in Strömstad, but until this afternoon there no traffic problems.

When working first at SGS (now STmicrolectronics) and then Honeywell-BULL I remember the surprise of British colleagues, in finding that whiskey was cheaper in Italy than in Great Britain, with obvious results.

Why would any one want to drink whiskey in Italy?

I used to drink it myself when my Captain brother brought me some bottle of Irish whiskey, the best in my opinion. Now he is a pensioner, like myself and I cannot afford it anymore.

E' morto a 95 anni Giorgio Salvini, fisico,ideatore del primo elettrosincrotrone di Frascati e dei successivi anelli di accumulazione ADA e ADONE, questi seguendo le idee di Bruno Touschek, fisico austriaco che collaborava con l'INFN di Frascati. Ho pubblicato due suoi articoli, uno su Scienza&Tecnica 76 di Arnoldo Mondadori,e uno su Le Scienze, rivista del Saggiatore di Alberto Mondadori.versione italiana di Scientific American, dove avrei dovuto andare a lavorare. Ma il figlio Alberto sottrasse la rivista al padre e io, dipendente di Arnoldo, andai all'Enciclopedia invece che alla rivista, dove sarei diventato giornalista e avrei guadgnato di piu', pagando anche meno il mutuo (mortgage) della casa. Cosi' va il mondo.

elettrosincrotrone di Frascati:)

It's a small world Tullio.

Frescati / Frascati is the old area Skeppsbroäng in Stockholm which got its new name in connection with Gustav III's grand plans for the areas around Brunnsviken, which he got after his trip to Italy including Campania 1783-1784. Gustav III named therefore, the areas around Brunnsviken after Italian towns, such as Frascati, Albano and Tivoli. The Italian town of Frascati was for unknown reason spelled "Frescati" here, and has at times also spelled "Freskati"

Villa Frescati.

Just walking distance from there lies KTH where they had an experimental nuclear reactor R1.

I was in Frascati once visiting the astronomer Paolo Maffei, but I never visited the laboratories of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, where they work also on nuclear fusion projects. Besides, there is an experimental detector of gravitational waves, of the resonating mass type. But there is also a good white wine.

A major rescue operation has managed to rescue 28 refugees in a new boating accident off the Libyan coast, about 20 mil south of Lampedusa, Italy. Nearly 700 refugees have ended up in the water after a boat capsized. There are testimonies of hundreds of bodies.

The accident, which should have occurred in international waters, a 150 km off the Libyan coast and 200 km from the Italian island of Lampedusa, is similar to where about 400 people reported to have died only a few days ago.
