Carlo Rambaldi, a master of magic, has earned a star on the Walk of Fame for his ability to breathe life into mechanical creatures. From Spielberg to Lynch, even in the age of artificial intelligence, there is still room for his handcrafted creations

A journalist, writer and the creator of the Neapolitan Mastiff, he lived through the twentieth century without ever allowing himself to be pigeonholed. He hosted Montanelli, won Eliade’s admiration and then, at the age of seventy, found a new love and a second youth. A portrait of an unconventional intellectual, rediscovered today thanks to the reissue of his books

“His secret? Simple songs and the power of a beaming smile. He was sorry he couldn’t play well; he regarded Lucio Dalla and Pino Daniele as two great poets: ‘Quando’ was perhaps his favourite song.” Interview

 The Lega claims it wants to hold the vote at a leisurely pace, in September. Forza Italia says the same, though it is unclear whether they are bluffing. Meloni has instructed her MPs to act as if the vote were to take place in the spring, and she genuinely believes this will be the case. However, there are certain laws that can help us understand the political landscape over the coming months

In this ritual – so technical and so deeply rooted in time and programming, as if it were the blueprint for a colossal enterprise – there lies, paradoxically, an attempt, difficult for us to grasp, to immortalise human activity, or, rather, to seek the eternal in human activity

Italy talks obsessively about old age when it comes to pensions, but far less so when it comes to losing one’s independence. Politicians, holed up in their ivory towers, recognise those who already have a public voice; they struggle to see those who depend on the voices of their children, spouses or carers.
