Unlikely candidate's hidden camera documentary lifts lid on Italian politics
Ismaele La Vardera, who ran for mayor in Palermo, Italy, revealed some unfortunate truths about Italian politics during his campaign.
He didn't win, he only got 2% of the vote, but his relevancy is not because of his run for mayor itself, rather it was because of the stuff he'd recorded on the campaign trail. He recorded pieces of footage along the campaign trail, and the footage was turned into a documentary called Italian Politics for Dummies.
One of the more shocking pieces of information he'd recorded was a meeting of a relative of a mafia boss, who offered votes in the district of Palermo for 26 euros each.
The documentary looks into the inner workings of Italian politics in Palermo, Sicily, and gives information about the mafia's involvement in local politics.

ReplyDeletehttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pompeii-date-mount-vesuvius-eruption-ad-79-august-october-a8588876.html
About five days ago archaeologists have discovered that the date of Pompeii's destruction may be wrong. The date archeologist believed it to be destroyed was sometime in August of AD 79. Now they believe it was in October 79 AD. They say this because they found a charcoal inscription bearing the date of 17 October. This ancient city was buried in ash after a nearby volcano erupted. the volcano both destroyed and preserved the city.
In Florence, Italy they have banned eating food on the street. Though this is only affecting four main roads currently. Fines are ranging from 175 to 580 USD. This law was passed because of the amount of tourism and people just throwing their trash on the ground. Littering also affected nearby businesses so it was also affecting the economy.

ReplyDeleteA few days back a fire started in Savona, Italy. There is still an investigation to figure out what caused the sky scraper to catch fire. The sky scraper was newly built and was a government building of some kind. At the time of the fire there was an estimate of 40 people working in the building. The fire engulfed the entire building, and the smoke from the fire was pitch black. Because of the smoke and fire, police evacuated the surrounding area. It took 14 groups of firefighters to put out the fire.
On Monday in Genoa, Italy, a bridge collapsed. It was during a storm when it was caught on camera. It was seen that the bridge was hit by a big gust of wind, resulting in it collapsing. The cause of this is thought to be the fact that the bridge was designed improperly and had faulty maintenance as well. 43 people died when the bridge collapsed.

Russian fans injured as Rome metro escalator gives away
ReplyDeleteYesterday at the Rome metro station, 20 people were injured as the escalator ran out of control. Majority of the injured citizens were fans of a Russian football team that happened to be in town. As the escalator collapsed, those riding it were crushed. This resulted in two people needing surgery for their injuries. The staff was shocked by this because the escalators have received monthly checks for any malfunctions or problems. The city mayor later visited the scene to show his sympathy for those who were injured.

The Italian government is planning to cut 512 Million dollars out of the defense budget. They are saying that they will put off buying new helicopters, missiles, and even cancel an office move. All purchases of aircraft in Italy will be suspended, and the ones that will be continued will be very spread out. They planned on buying 116 helicopters split between the navy and army, which have all screeched to a halt. They were forced to cut the funding for the military due to the government over spending on other things.

Which means banks might have trouble funding their own markets. Their government seems like they are not going to step in and help them.

In Rome a horrible escalator crashed causing many people to become injured. The people injured were there to watch a Russian football team. Most of the injuries were to the food, one guys foot was completely crushed and two other had to have major surgery to repair broken bones. People riding the escalator were jumping and singing with the chants when the escalator gave away. They posted a video and you could see that it was traveling at a pretty decently high speed downward.
