Il cantautore torna sulle scene con "L'amore è una cosa semplice". Tre date al Forum
È partito il 10 aprile il nuovo tour di Tiziano Ferro, e sta facendo tappa nei palazzi dello sport delle principali città italiane; diversi sono i sold-out già registrati, tra cui tutti e tre gli appuntamenti milanesi, in programma il 2, 4 e 5 maggio al Mediolanum Forum di Assago (MI), infatti si è reso necessario duplicare, e in alcuni casi addirittura triplicare, gli appuntamenti in molte delle città in calendario.
La prima parte del tour si concluderà il 23 maggio all’Hallenstadion di Zurigo, dopodiché si sposterà in alcune delle più prestigiose location all’aperto del nostro paese nei mesi di giugno e luglio: oltre al grande appuntamento allo Stadio Olimpico di Roma, già annunciato lo scorso ottobre, sono in programma tappe a Bergamo, Piazzola Sul Brenta (PD), Cagliari, Bari, Palermo e Gela.
“L’amore è una cosa semplice” tour 2012 sta emozionando migliaia di fan in tutta Italia, grazie ad uno spettacolo di grande musica dal vivo in cui Tiziano canta i più grandi successi della sua carriera, accompagnato sul palco da una band d’eccezione: due straordinari musicisti americani, Reggie Hamilton (basso) e Gary Novak (batteria), e quattro tra i più grandi nomi di casa nostra, Davide Tagliapietra (chitarra), Giorgio Secco (chitarra), Luca Scarpa (tastiere) e Christian Rigano (tastiere).
Il tour segue la pubblicazione del nuovo acclamatissimo album, “L’amore è una cosa semplice”, uscito lo scorso novembre su etichetta EMI Music Italy, già 4 volte disco di Platino.

Dopo l'uscita del nuovo singolo "Mille Volte Ancora", Max Gazzè con il suo “Maximilian Tour” ha già registrato il sold-out nelle prime quattro città che lo ospiteranno: Bologna, Milano, Roma e Torino, con biglietti esauriti in prevendita. Per non lasciare a bocca asciutta i fan, però, sono già in programma due grandi eventi per festeggiare la conclusione del Tour: il 27 ottobre a Roma (Palalottomatica) e il 29 a Milano (Mediolanum Forum).
Un tour spettacolare e ricco di novità multimediali: la meravigliosa scenografia curata da Camilla Ferrari farà da sfondo ai video scelti appositamente da Max insieme a Nicola Saponaro, contenuti video interattivi che accompagneranno le sue esibizioni durante il live.
Due gli album che faranno da perno alla scaletta: l'ultimo - “Maximilian” - ed il primo, “Contro un’onda del mare”, che quest’anno celebra i vent’anni dalla pubblicazione. Da “Maximilian”, disco ricco di mood e suggestioni musicali diverse tra loro, sono stati estratti due singoli: “La Vita com’è” appena certificato disco di Platino, mentre il video relativo raggiunge numeri da record (superando le 13.000.000 di visualizzazioni su Youtube e i 2 milioni di streaming su Spotify), e “Mille Volte Ancora”. Proprio nel gennaio 1996 usciva invece “Contro un’onda del mare”, il disco d'esordio col quale Max si affacciava sulla nuova scena musicale italiana, spiccando già per le tematiche insolite dei testi e l'originalità e la cura della composizione. A questo straordinario album di debutto è dedicato quindi uno speciale tributo all'interno della scaletta del concerto. Non mancheranno, tuttavia, pezzi storici del suo eccezionale repertorio.
La formazione che accompagnerà Max sarà composta da Giorgio Baldi alle chitarre, Clemente Ferrari ai tasti bianchi e neri, Cristiano Micalizzi alla batteria, e Max 'Dedo' De Domenico agli strumenti a fiato.
Red-eared slider
The red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans), also known as the red-eared terrapin, is a semi aquatic turtle belonging to the family Emydidae. It is a subspecies of the pond slider. It is the most popular pet turtle in the United States and is also popular as a pet in the rest of the world. It has, therefore, become the most commonly traded turtle in the world. It is native to the southern United States and northern Mexico, but has become established in other places because of pet releases, and has become an invasive species in many areas, where it outcompetes native species. The red-eared slider is included in the list of the world's 100 most invasive species published by the IUCN.
Red-eared sliders get their name from the small red stripe around their ears.. The "slider" in their name comes from their ability to slide off rocks and logs and into the water quickly. This species was previously known as Troost's turtle in honor of an American herpetologist; Trachemys scripta troostii is now the scientific name for another subspecies, the Cumberland slider.
The red-eared slider belongs to the order Testudines, which contains about 250 turtle species. It is a subspecies of Trachemys scripta. They were previously classified under the name Chrysemys scripta elegans.
The species Trachemys scripta contains three subspecies: T. s. elegans (red-eared slider), T. s. scripta (yellow-bellied slider), and T. s. troostii (Cumberland slider).
The carapace of this species can reach more than 40 cm (16 in) in length, but the average length ranges from 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in). The females of the species are usually larger than the males. They typically live between 20 and 30 years, although some individuals have lived for more than 40 years. Their life expectancy is shorter when they are kept in captivity. The quality of their living environment has a strong influence on their lifespans and well being.
These turtles are poikilotherms, meaning they are unable to regulate their body temperatures independently; they are completely dependent on the temperature of their environment. For this reason, they need to sunbathe frequently to warm themselves and maintain their body temperatures.
The shell is divided into two sections: the upper or dorsal carapace, and the lower, ventral carapace or plastron. The upper carapace consists of the vertebral scutes, which form the central, elevated portion; pleural scutes that are located around the vertebral scutes; and then the marginal scutes around the edge of the carapace. The rear marginal scutes are notched. The scutes are bony keratinous elements. The carapace is oval and flattened (especially in the male) and has a weak keel that is more pronounced in the young. The color of the carapace changes depending on the age of the turtle. The carapace usually has a dark green background with light and dark, highly variable markings. In young or recently hatched turtles, it is leaf green and gets slightly darker as a turtle gets older, until it is a very dark green, and then turns a shade between brown and olive green. The plastron is always a light yellow with dark, paired, irregular markings in the centre of most scutes. The plastron is highly variable in pattern. The head, legs, and tail are green with fine, irregular, yellow lines. The whole shell is covered in these stripes and markings that aid in camouflaging an individual.
Turtles also have a complete skeletal system, with partially webbed feet that help them to swim and that can be withdrawn inside the carapace along with the head and tail. The red stripe on each side of the head distinguishes the red-eared slider from all other North American species and gives this species its name, as the stripe is located behind the eyes where their (external) ears would be. These stripes may lose their color over time. Some individuals can also have a small mark of the same color on the top of their heads. The red-eared slider does not have a visible outer ear or an external auditory canal; instead, it relies on a middle ear entirely covered by a cartilaginous tympanic disc.
The main internal organs of these reptiles are the lungs, heart, stomach, liver, intestines, and the urinary bladder. A cloaca serves both excretory and reproductive functions.
The red-eared slider originated from the area around the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico, in warm climates in the southeastern United States. Their native areas range from the southeast of Colorado to Virginia and Florida. In nature, they inhabit areas with a source of still, warm water, such as ponds, lakes, swamps, creeks, streams, or slow-flowing rivers. They live in areas of calm water where they are able to leave the water easily by climbing onto rocks or tree trunks so they can warm up in the sun. Individuals are often found sunbathing in a group or even on top of each other. They also require abundant aquatic plants, as these are the adults' main food, although they are omnivores. Turtles in the wild always remain close to water unless they are searching for a new habitat or when females leave the water to lay their eggs.
Owing to their popularity as pets, red-eared sliders have been released or escaped into the wild in many parts of the world. The turtle is considered one of the world’s worst invasive species. Feral populations are now found in Australia, Europe, South Africa, the Caribbean Islands, Israel, Bahrain, the Mariana Islands, Guam, and southeast and far-east Asia. In Australia, it is illegal for members of the public to import, keep, trade, or release red-eared sliders, as they are regarded as an invasive species - see below. Their import has been banned by the European Union as well as specific EU member countries. In 2015 Japan announced it was planning to ban the import of red-eared sliders, but it would probably not take effect until 2020. Invasive red-eared sliders cause negative impacts in the ecosystems they occupy because they have certain advantages over the native populations, such as a lower age at maturity, higher fecundity rates, and larger body size, which gives them a competitive advantage at basking and nesting sites, as well as when exploiting food resources. They also transmit diseases and displace the other turtle species with which they compete for food and breeding space.
Red-eared sliders are almost entirely aquatic, but as they are cold-blooded, they leave the water to sunbathe to regulate their temperature.

La Sacerdotessa in concerto a Carroponte per presentare "Horses".
Patti Smith and Her Band live al Carroponte, occasione unica per vedere la Sacerdotessa alle prese con il capolavoro Horses riproposto nella sua interezza. Erano gli anni Sessanta quando la giovanissima Patti, poco più che ventenne, si trasferisce nella vibrante New York per trovare la sua strada. Oggi la signora ha di diritto un posto nell'olimpo delle leggende del rock poiché tutto quello che successe dopo è storia. Senza dubbio tra gli artisti più influenti di sempre, cantautrice e poetessa di enorme talento, Patti viene spesso citata da illustri colleghi come grande fonte di ispirazione, da Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) a Madonna e U2.
Because The Night (scritta insieme a Bruce Springsteen) è una vera pietra miliare della musica. Questa e altre hit di successo live a Carroponte dalla regina del rock, per ammirare ancora una volta lo spessore di un'artista che dopo oltre quarant'anni di carriera riesce a esibirsi con la stessa grinta e spirito punk degli esordi. Il 25 luglio. Imperdibile.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Neurdein et Cie of Paris.
Saint-Maclou
The Church of Saint-Maclou is a Roman Catholic church in Rouen. Its spire reaches a height of 83 metres. Saint-Maclou is one of the best examples of the Flamboyant style of Gothic architecture in France.
Saint-Maclou, along with Rouen Cathedral, the Palais de Justice (also Flamboyant), and the Church of St.-Ouen, form a famous ensemble of significant Gothic buildings in Rouen.
Rouen
Rouen is a city on the River Seine in northern France, and is relatively close to the English Channel. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area is 702,945 (2018). People from Rouen are known as Rouennais.
“Upon approaching Rouen one is sure to be struck
by the insolent daring of its situation. Lying on a
sloping plain beside the river, it seems to disdain the
well-nigh impregnable site afforded by the steep cliffs
which rise just to the northeast.
The history of the city bears out the audacity of its
location. Through all the centuries, its inhabitants
concerned themselves so continuously in conquering
other peoples that little time was left in which to
consider the security of their own homes.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th. to the 15th. centuries.
From the 13th. century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was in Rouen that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive.
Severely damaged by a wave of bombing in 1944, Rouen nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and busy seaport, which is the fifth largest in France.
Endowed with a prestige established during the medieval era, and with a long architectural heritage in its historical monuments, Rouen is an important cultural capital. Several renowned establishments are located here, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Secq des Tournelles Museum, and Rouen Cathedral.
“Perhaps the most characteristic feature of Rouen
when viewed from a distance is the great number
of its spires that shoot up above the housetops,
earning for it the sobriquet of the City of Churches.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Sadly not all of those churches are still there because of the ravages of war.
Seat of an archdiocese, Rouen also hosts a court of appeal and a university. Every four to six years, Rouen becomes the showcase for a large gathering of sailing ships called "L'Armada"; this event makes the city an occasional capital of the maritime world.
Rouen Cathedral
Rouen Cathedral was commenced in the 12th. Century on the site of an earlier structure. It has a Roman crypt.
The Butter Tower dates from the 16th. century. The name of the Tour de Beurre comes from the fact that butter was banned during Lent, and those who wished to carry on eating it had to donate 6 Deniers Tournois towards the building of the tower. Practically everyone in Rouen must have carried on eating butter in order to fund a tower like that!
The Victorian cast-iron Lantern Tower in the centre of the building made the cathedral the tallest building in the world from 1876 until 1880, when it was overtaken by Cologne Cathedral.
The Lantern Tower was designed by the architect Jean-Antoine Alavoine who proposed the use of cast iron, a modern material for the time, because it was less combustible than wood, and lighter than stone. The Lantern Tower took 50 years to construct. The 151 metre height of the spire still makes Rouen Cathedral the tallest cathedral in France.
The presence of a lantern tower at the crossing of the transept is a frequent feature in churches in Normandy (St. Ouen in Rouen, and Bayeux) and in England (Gloucester, Salisbury, and Winchester).
The lantern is in a bulge in the ironwork near the top of the spire, which is surmounted by a weathercock.
The Cathedral holds the heart of Richard the Lionheart. His bowels were buried within the church of the Château de Châlus-Chabrol in the Limousin. The cathedral seems to have got the better end of that particular deal!
Claude Monet painted a series of studies of the cathedral's façade 1894. Roy Lichtenstein also made a series of pictures of the front of the building.
The Cathedral has had to put up with a lot of wilful destruction during its lifetime:
- The Calvinists damaged much of what they could easily reach during the religious wars of the 16th. Century - the furniture, tombs, stained glass and statuary.
- The French State nationalised the building in the 18th. Century, and sold some of its furniture and statues to make money. The chapel fences were melted down to make guns.
- In WW2 the Cathedral was first bombed in 1944, taking 7 bombs. The bombs narrowly missed destroying a key pillar of the Lantern Tower, but damaged most of the south aisle, and destroyed two medieval rose windows. One of the bombs was fortunately a dud and failed to explode.
- As a consequence of a subsequent WW II bombing, the north tower, on the left of the façade, was entirely burned. During the fire the stonework calcified and the bells melted, leaving molten metal on the floor. The cathedral is still being restored after the extensive damage incurred during World War II.
Also, during the violent storm of December 1999, a copper-clad wooden turret weighing 26 tons fell into the Cathedral and damaged the choir and the stalls. The three other turrets were removed for maintenance and safety purposes before being replaced in 2012.
The Execution of Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc was executed not far from the Cathedral in the Vieux-Marché on Wednesday the 30th. May 1431.
The famous depiction of 19 year old Joan of Arc's execution showing her on top of a pile of wood and straw is wrong.
The site for her execution comprised a stake at the centre of a large ring of wood, with a gap left for Joan to be led to the stake. Once she was tied to the stake and the gap closed, she was hidden from sight.
One authority has suggested that her body would have burnt in the following sequence: calves, thighs and hands, torso and forearms, breasts, upper chest and face.
However in all likelihood she would have died from heatstroke, loss of blood plasma and carbon dioxide poisoning before the fire attacked the upper parts of her body.
After Jeanne had expired, the English exposed her charred body so that no-one could claim that she had escaped alive, then burned her body twice more to reduce it to ashes in order to prevent the collection of relics.
They then cast her remains into the Seine.
A modern church now stands on the site of her execution.
