The first group is made up of people with a clear fascination for violence, also for fascist ideology. "The second group consists of people fascinated by the world of video games and who draw inspiration for what they do from that world. The third group consists of people who were 'activated' by the fact that the subject is in the spotlight," said Donald Tusk. #Polónia #SegurançaPública #Violência (translated)

Simone Pillon recalled the Battle of Lepanto, fought on October 7, 1571, describing it as a clash between Christians and Muslims. He wrote that the Holy League, composed of Austrians, Spaniards, Venetians, Lombards, Romagnols, Tuscans, Savoyards, Genoese, Sicilians, and Neapolitans, deployed under the command of Don John of Austria 6 galleasses and about 204 galleys. According to Pillon, the Turkish fleet of Ali Pasha consisted of 170-180 galleys, 20 or 30 galliots, and an unspecified number of xebecs and privateer brigs. Pillon reported that Pope Pius V had a premonition and prayed the rosary during the battle, while the Christian fighters received the Eucharist before setting sail. He wrote that, despite the Turkish numerical superiority and the initially favorable wind for the Ottomans, the direction of the wind changed, and the Holy League won. In his account, Pillon indicated that the Turks lost 80 galleys sunk and 117 captured, along with 27 galliots sunk and 13 captured; he added that 30,000 Turks were killed or injured, and 8,000 were taken prisoner. He also claimed that 15,000 Christians enslaved at the oars were freed. He said that Pius V dedicated the victory to Our Lady of the Rosary and that October 7 became the feast of the Rosary. Pillon finally wrote that, in his view, the Christian West was facing new battles, some already open, and hoped that they would be bloodless and victorious. He wondered if there were still strong men capable of protecting the lands and families. #Lepanto #Storia #Battaglie (translated)

Update Olivia Brasil stated that the profile was managed by six female university students, among them students from public institutions and scholarship recipients from private colleges. According to the group, some were beneficiaries of Bolsa Família, members of CadÚnico, from the Northeast, living in favelas and marginalized areas of Rio de Janeiro or LGBT. One of the members said she was a Northeastern migrant woman living in the largest favela in Latin America and stated that her mother worked hard to provide her with a better life. She wrote that her work on the profile also represented other people and expressed concern about what she considered a surrender of the state and the country to people who rejected her existence and that of those close to her. The group reported having suffered an attempted censorship the day before, when the profile was hacked. They said they continued to express their views on relevant topics and that the portal, created in 2023, had always shown its political stance. They also stated that they feared for their own safety and said that comments from people within the same fandom made them feel unwell and encouraged attacks from opponents of Lula's re-election. The group requested respect and stated that rights and futures were at stake, with no time for ego disputes. (translated)

CIVICO 33 - "ORTA NOVA SOUND LAB": FROM CAPITANATA TO "BROADWAY WORLD", THE "COMMUNITY BAND" PROJECT CONQUERS NEW YORK The social laboratory promoted by ANBG and the Ministry of Culture lands on the largest theatrical network in the world thanks to the article co-written by Chris Rabinowitz and the Orthese author Luciano Magaldi Sardella. There is a brass thread connecting Piazza Mario Frasca to Broadway. "Orta Nova Sound Lab" is the Community and Social Regeneration Band through Music, the project officially presented on September 21 at the C-Lab MAO FM 19.77 by brothers Luca and Erminio Ferrandina, which is experiencing unprecedented media attention for a band initiative born in the province of Foggia. The journalistic success is marked by its appearance on September 28 in Broadway World, the most authoritative global portal dedicated to theater and live performance, based in New York with over 1.5 million monthly global visits. This is not an insignificant result, projecting a story from the Apulian periphery into the realm of international cultural information. The article, titled "Orta Nova Sound Lab Launches Youth Community Band in Southern Italy," is co-authored by New York editor Chris Rabinowitz, a journalist for the American publication, and his Italian co-author Luciano Magaldi Sardella, an international author originally from Orta Nova, an engineer, academic journalist, and researcher active between Italy and abroad. The dual Italian-American signature symbolizes how a "good local practice" can become global news when told with expertise and roots. The Project: the Band as Social Regeneration "Orta Nova Sound Lab" is promoted by the National Association of Marching Bands (ANBG), chaired by Benedetto Grillo, and has been approved for funding under the public notice of the Ministry of Culture as per D.D.G. April 7, 2026, rep. n. 149, aimed at "Enhancing research and dissemination of musical practices in peripheral and areas of high social vulnerability." It is realized with the support of the Municipality of Orta Nova and with the collaboration of a solid civic network: the A.P.S. MAO FM 19.77, the "A. Olivetti" Higher Education Institute, the "Sandro Pertini" Comprehensive Institute, the Music Art association, and the C.I.S.A. of Foggia. As highlighted by "Broadway World," this is the first initiative in Italy to reinterpret the distinctive tradition of marching bands and youth orchestras within a ministry grant dedicated to urban peripheries and social vulnerability. A model that explicitly dialogues with the spirit of the so-called "Caivano Decree" (D.L. 123/2023) for combating youth discomfort, educational poverty, and juvenile delinquency. The idea, in its disarming simplicity, was summarized by the project director for ANBG, Antonella Spagnoletti: "The band is aggregation! The band is cohesion. Bringing these kids together to learn and live differently from the social world is among the primary objectives of our association." This concept was reiterated by the Mayor of Orta Nova, Ing. Domenico Di Vito: "This is an important project that can definitely make a difference compared to the past because it has all the ingredients to connect the entire world of culture and social issues that exists in Orta Nova and needs to be valued. The administration's commitment is to ensure sustainability, structure, and continuity over time." At the press conference presentation, moderated by journalist Giuseppe Di Bisceglie, participated alongside President Grillo, Director Spagnoletti, and Mayor Di Vito, Regional Councillor Grazia Maria Starace, Councillor for relationships with the third sector Sebastiano Battista, Councillor for Culture Vittoria Mastrogiacomo, and educational professor Alfredo Coppola, delegate of the Olivetti Institute. Why the News Became International The "Orta Nova Sound Lab" marching band project demonstrates that when a project has anti-mafia roots, pedagogical value, and a credible institutional network, the press responds. From local and national outlets like Cassa Armonica, Ansa Puglia, TGNorba, Corriere della Sera Bari, RaiNews TGR Puglia, La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, Amica9TV, Brindisi In, Blasting News Italia, TRM Network, Secolo XIX, FoggiaToday, PlayNews24, Stato Quotidiano, and many others that well-documented the conference, it reached BroadwayWorld, which viewed the Orthese experience as a "social laboratory" capable of responding to the mafia with music. This leap in scale comes from joint efforts and the bridging work done by Luciano Magaldi Sardella, who managed to translate for the English-speaking audience alongside New York editor Chris Rabinowitz the deep meaning of a village band that in Apulia is not folklore, but a civil presence, a concrete alternative to screens and disintegration. In a South often narrated only for its emergencies, Orta Nova chooses to be told for its ability to generate community. And this time, the news has made its way around the world, starting from a square in Daunia. The Schedule The path, entirely free, includes instrumental workshops for brass and percussion, ensemble music lessons, and collective rehearsals with qualified teachers and conductors, open to aspiring musicians, families, schools, and citizens. The program that attracted the attention of national and now international press is organized as follows: October 2026: parade of bands marching through the streets and public spaces of Orta Nova, to recover the historical value of the band as a popular and identity expression. November-December 2026: high-profile concert season with the Grand Band Concert of Conversano and the Grand Band Concert "Biagio Abbate" City of Bisceglie, artistic training for the young students. Focus on inclusion: a special evening dedicated to female music with the Orchestra Note di Puglia, a formation composed entirely of professionals, to reinforce the values of equal opportunities. January 2027: first official concert of the newly formed Community Band of Orta Nova, a foundational act and public restitution of the work done. (translated)

Sami Abu Shehadeh, leader of Balad accused of supporting Hamas, had withdrawn his candidacy after the judges informed him that the Court would uphold his exclusion. #ElezioniIsraele #Politica #CorteSuprema (translated)

Ermes Antonucci wrote that Vittorio Sgarbi, hospitalized at Gemelli since Wednesday, had been consumed by depression and had progressively distanced himself from public life. The author linked Sgarbi's decline to years of what he described as a daily media campaign, arguing that the illness could not be traced back to a single cause. According to Antonucci, the campaign began on October 24, 2023, with an article in the Fatto Quotidiano about the fees received by Sgarbi for events and exhibitions, reported to be 300,000 euros in nine months. The following day, he wrote, the newspaper reported on an investigation in Rome and an alleged tax debt of 715,000 euros related to the purchase of a work by Zecchin. On December 15, 2023, the Fatto and Report published an investigation into the painting by Rutilio Manetti "The Capture of Saint Peter", claiming it had been stolen and altered to hide its provenance. Antonucci stated that in 95 days, the Fatto published 82 articles about Sgarbi and that Report dedicated four reports to the matter. He also wrote that the prosecutor's office in Macerata launched an investigation for self-laundering of cultural assets and that Sgarbi resigned as undersecretary for Culture on February 2, 2024. According to the author, Sgarbi was later acquitted of the charges related to the painting by Zecchin, the artwork by Manetti, and the services rendered as undersecretary. Antonucci argued that, while the legal issues were concluding, the media coverage had contributed to the worsening of the man's condition. #Sgarbi #giustizia #mediacritica (translated)

I wanted to thank all of you, truly from the heart, because the many messages that arrived during and after the ceremony were a small, great relief for the elderly father of @StefanoVerbania. A man from a generation in which social media did not exist, but who wanted, together with Fabrizio, his other son and brother of our Captain, that all of you could be present in that little church in Verbania. When scrolling through your messages seemed never-ending, his eyes were filled with new tears, this time of joy. Stefano was not just a friend of mine; he was a friend of all of you, and this idea was conceived for you. I understand the skeptics regarding the choice to live stream the ceremony, but it was actually the young priest who gave me the answer for them with a phrase that I will carry with me forever: "Technology is just a tool, and in this case, it served to deliver Stefano's soul to Our Lord, accompanied by the love of those who cared for him from afar." I thank @acmilan once again for being present at the ceremony, but especially for deliberately choosing the number 6, as a sign of total respect for what was a true Captain of the fanbase. Imperfect at times on the field, the Rossoneri club always proves to be present in times of need and is made up of fantastic people with great sensitivity. Returning from Verbania, I remembered the many times we promised to watch a Milan game together, comfortably seated on the couch; instead, I reached him to say goodbye forever. This is something I will never forgive myself for. I said goodbye to him for the last time before they took him away, whispering the old chant of the Fosse dei Leoni, because that was Stefano, a Lion in a world of hyenas. #ForzaMilan #Ricordo #Amicizia (translated)
