“A first home is sacred. You don’t touch homes. They are the pillar of security for the future of the family so our election campaign pledge is to repeal the IMU municipal tax. Never again will there be a tax on the home”. Silvio Berlusconi was speaking on Canale 5’s Domenica Live television programme. “They ask us where we are going to find the money. We’ve already tabled a bill that manages to find the same amount in four different ways. I can guarantee you that IMU will be repealed”, added the former prime minister, pointing out that tax pressure in Italy is too high. “In the past, we reduced it by repealing the ICI tax on homes and taxes on businesses. We’ve got to continue along that road. Item number one on our election pledge will be lowering taxes a point a year by cutting costs and waste while giving business a shot in the arm to grow GDP through economic recovery”.

Alfa Romeo 4C van de weg afgeraakt bij Turijn | Auto Edizione

Dat de Alfa Romeo 4C een lichtgewicht met veel vermogen wordt, blijkt ook uit deze winterse beelden waarin we een ‘gecrashed’ exemplaar zien langs een rijksweg bij Turijn (Orbassano). De Alfa moet van de rijbaan gegleden zijn bij het iets te veel gas geven tijdens het verlaten van de rotonde. Deze passant reed even terug om de zaak eens opnieuw te bekijken… en op te nemen. Gelukkig bracht deze ‘Biscione’ het er goede vanaf.



Grappig detail daarbij is het bordje, waar het geheel tegen tot stilstand is gekomen, met daarop ‘Spazio Libero’, oftewel ‘Vrije Ruimte’. De borden verderop zien er duidelijk een stuk minder vriendelijk uit. Een collega die voorop reed, stopte de gecamoufleerde Quattroporte een eindje verderop.

Palio di Siena

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

Inspiration always seems to find me when I’m not looking and that is exactly what happened as I settled in to watch a few minutes of television last night. Lucky for me, I clicked over to Kenny Mayne’s Wider World of Sports, a show on ESPN that puts sports into a cultural context.

One of the segments was on the Palio, the famous, twice-yearly horse race in Siena. Mayne gained insider access to the Leocorno (Unicorn) contrada to cover the race from mane (ahem) to tail. We learn about Leocorno’s rivalry with the Civetta (Owl) contrada, the pre-race ritual of having the horse blessed in the district church, and the strategies and intrigue that go into competing in one of Italy’s oldest sports traditions. Both the footage and the commentary in this segment were compelling, so I wanted to share the video with you.
