De Nederlandse filmcritici hebben de Italiaanse tragikomedie La Grande Bellezza uitgeroepen tot beste bioscoopfilm van 2013. Dat heeft de Kring van Nederlandse Filmjournalisten (KNF) bekendgemaakt.

De beste Nederlandse film van het jaar was volgens de critici de zwarte komedie Borgman van regisseur Alex van Warmerdam.

De film van regisseur Paolo Sorrentino gaat over een oudere journalist die in Rome op zoek is naar inspiratie voor zijn tweede boek. La Grande Bellezza werd eerder onderscheiden tijdens de European Film Awards.

De Nederlandse filmcritici kozen als tweede film het ruimte-epos Gravity van regisseur Alfonso Cuaron.

Een jonge Franse skiër is vandaag om het leven gekomen bij een lawine in Turijn, in het noorden van Italië. Dat meldt het persagentschap Ansa. Sterke wind, regen en sneeuw veroorzaken sinds gisteren winterchaos in Noord-Italië.

Tienduizenden mensen zaten vandaag zonder stroom, vooral in Piemonte en in het wintersportgebied Cortina d’Ampezzo. Het auto- en treinverkeer is bovendien verstoord.

The Land of Artisans and Christmas Shopping in Marche

See on Scoop.it - Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d’Italia

Le Marche, (pronounced Mar-kay) is an undiscovered gem. Situated in central Italy, between the Adriatic sea and the Apennine mountains, it’s the region I call home. We are trying to keep it quiet really, but I just have to share the secret of wonderful shopping here.

Marche is known for it’s leather craftmanship and artisans, producing 90% of all Italy’s shoes. Many are hidden in the hill-top towns (in the centre of Marche near Fermo), family run businesses quietly making beautiful leather items for the big designer names.

Best known of course is Tod’s, whose famous moccasins/driving shoes and handbags are always favourites with celebrities and royalty. The classic “D” bag, named after Princess Diana, is now also being carried by Kate Middleton. Why pay high-street prices when you can come to the factory store and enjoy soaking up the atmosphere of Italy at the same time! You can find the “D‘ handbag in many different colours in their stylish store at 495 euros, reduced from 890 euros. […]

In a famous prophesy a medieval monk known as Venerable Bede wrote that “Rome will exist as long as the Colosseum does; when the Colosseum falls so will Rome; when Rome falls so will the world.”

While that moment isn’t at hand, the Colosseum is a mess. Traffic pollution has blackened the once colorful walls and pieces have fallen off. The recession means the city can’t afford to clean up the ultimate symbol of ancient Rome’s might and majesty, so they took up an offer from a modern Italian icon, the luxury leather goods company Tod’s, owned by Diego della Valle.

Valle told CBS News’ Allen Pizzey that he’s spending $33 million to fix the monument because he is an Italian.

“I am very proud to be Italian,” he said. “This is the most important Italian monument and symbol.” […]
