What To Put In Decorative Jars

Messaggero of Rome on Sun 24 hours

Rome and Milan, approached by the high speed and politics, seem to monopolize the attention that has reduced Italy, where he lives that most of the people, to the rank of supporting actors. Understand the internal dynamics, discuss the political failures, study the changes, does that mean you can arrive a day to demystify these two capitals would much less moral than Italy. Claudio Cerasa, a journalist at the Gazette since 2005, and Mark Alfieri, a journalist with Il Sole 24 Ore, reconstruct the events of the local economy and politics in Rome and Milan respectively, in two books full of information and ideas of interpretation.

Milan and Rome continue hopes to attract minds and continue to trample lives, continue to consume the environment and human relations. The weakness is perhaps that generate greater than the chance that they offer, even if it makes less noise. Yet, even worse, we live in Milan and Rome and Trento Trieste or (talks about the sun these days), people who are trying their luck in the two cities are more often than elsewhere. Evidently because they seem to offer a perspective. It is a responsibility not to betray those cities.

books Cerasa and Alfieri, historically-informed and aware, show two cities in distress. What emerges is the impression that Milan is basically a small city, smaller than metropoli. E Roma sia una piccola capitale, più piccola che capitale. Le beghe del potere, i network sociali che contano, le miserie della spartizione delle risorse, pesano come macigni sulla capacità di queste città di definire un progetto e di sviluppare un futuro.

I momenti decisionali fondamentali per la gestione dei circenses dell'Auditorium riproducono a Roma in chiave modernista dinamiche da basso impero, mentre il fallimento dei primi anni di preparazione all'Expo mostrano a Milano l'incapacità di sviluppare un progetto che superi i particolarismi delle grandi famiglie di poteri locali.

Roma e Milano, nei libri di Cerasa e Alfieri, sembrano incapaci di darsi proprio quello che chi le ammira ritiene che abbiano: breadth of perspective. But it is clear that the distance between the impression of those who studied, particularly looking at local politics, and the expectation of those who choose as a place to live, not be explained by the phenomena in a unilateral way. One hypothesis: perhaps politics is overstated, while too little we tell ourselves that the lives of people who depend on their ability.
