FOUR-MINUTES LONG STANDING OVATION FOR PRESIDENT SERGIO MATTARELLA. Yesterday, 7 December 2022, Maestro Riccardo Chailly inaugurated the 2022/2023 season at La Scala in Milan, and conducted Modest Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov”. Upon his entrance to the “Royal Box”, the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella was welcomed by a four-minutes long standing ovation. The audience, 2,000 selected guests (politicians, artists, Nobel Prize winners, musicians, journalists, etc.) kept on shouting ‘“GRAZIE PRESIDENTE” and “BRAVO”. Next to President Mattarella, you can see the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the Lord Mayor of Milan, the President of the Italian Senate and the Italian Prime Minister. Immediately after, Maestro Chailly conducted the Italian national hymn AND the European Union hymn. To remind you, President Mattarella was re-elected on 29 January 2022, after SEVEN voting rounds, where none of the candidates received the required vote quorum. Pr
Il 21 aprile, Il Presidente del Senato Ignazio La Russa ha dichiarato: “Nella Costituzione non c’è l’antifascismo.” Dopo le tante polemiche, ha rincarato la dose: “Non mi pento, riaffermo che nella Costituzione non c’è l’antifascismo.” Affermazione terrificante! Tutte le critiche, pienamente giustificate, da parte della stampa e da tutti i partiti politici, deputati e senatori, non hanno accennato alla cosa più ovvia: COSTITUZIONE DELLA REPUBBLICA ITALIANA Disposizioni Transitorie e Finali XII “È vietata la riorganizzazione, sotto qualsiasi forma, del disciolto partito fascista.” Il Presidente del Senato è la seconda carica della Repubblica, e, in caso di gravi impedimenti del Presidente Mattarella, potrebbe essere chiamato in qualsiasi momento a sostituirlo. Articolo 86 della Costituzione: “Le funzioni del Presidente della Repubblica, in ogni caso che egli non possa adempierle, sono esercitate dal Presidente del Senato.” Il Presidente della Repubblica è il GARANTE della Cost
De Discrimen Gentis - On Racial Discrimination What Did Philosophers Say? Racial discrimination plagued mankind since the dawn of civilisation. Fuelled by ignorance and fear, religion played, and continues to play the starring role. In a German-language letter to philosopher Eric Gutkind, dated 3 January 1954, the physicist Albert Einstein wrote: “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.... For me, the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions . And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people.... I cannot see anything “chosen” about them.” It is a great comfort to see that, with only a couple
De Genus Discrimen - On Gender Discrimination What Did Philosophers Say? Gender discrimination plagued mankind since the dawn of civilisation. Fuelled by ignorance and prejudice, religion played, and continues to play the starring role. In the three monotheistic religions, God is male, the Father, He has a son. 'Bacchus, Tobacco and Venus reduce man to ashes.' This old say is not funny, it is an insulting stereotype to women. At its best, it implies that women are maintained by men, for they are too stupid to contribute to the family. At its worst, it implies that women are toys to buy for pleasure. In this essay, I’ll take you through Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient China, Ancient India, Ancient Israel, Ancient Islam, the Low Middle Age, the Rinascimento, the 17th, 18th (the Enlightenment), 19th, 20th and 21st century, to discover how philosophers dealt with racial discrimination. Starring Socrates, The Greek Atomists, Democritus, Pl
