them (16-1): Still a metaphor for their

"Roccapendente sembra la tenuta di qualche nobile toscano ancora in auge..." "E invece no. O meglio anche sì, ma nella mia testa è metafora dell'università italiana" (Marco Malvaldi, intervistato dal Corriere Fiorentino , il 30 gennaio 2011).
"Ancora una volta Napoli diventa, nel modo più colorito, la metafora dell'Italia" (Corrado Augias, in risposta a un lettore di Repubblica sul tema dei rifiuti napoletani, il 23 dicembre 2010).
Qualche days later, on the same day as timely counterpoint, in a cartoon by Bucchi, silhouettes of a child and an adult who takes him by the hand. The child: "But waste is a problem?". The adult, highly-time: "No, a metaphor" (the image of this post says, moreover, that the joke had meanwhile occurred to anyone else).
The question is also French. The impression given by the following passage from a book by Amelie Nothomb, appeared in 1992: "Les gens savent rien des métaphores it. C'est un mot here if vend bien, parce qu'il a fair allure. 'Metaphore': le dernier des illettrés que ça vient du grec sent. A chic fou, ces étymologies bidons - bidons, vraiment: quand on connaît l'effroyable polysémie de la préposition meta et les neutralités factotum du verbe phero , on devrait, pour être de bonne foi, conclure que le mot 'métaphore' signifie absolument n'importe quoi. D'ailleurs, à entendre l'usage qui en est fait, on arrive à des conclusions identiques" ( Hygiène de l'assassin ).
È anzi ragionevole supporre , in proposito, che all'italiano il malanno sia giunto proprio dal francese. La circostanza spiegherebbe bene la trouvaille dello scrittore siciliano and the emphasis that excited bound for the Padoan. P ronunciando his fateful "Sicily is a metaphor for the world" in the presence of a French journalist, Sciascia you will, on that Paris wanted to see more than he usually did.
In short, the current extensive use of metaphor seems to be the spy, the revealing detail or (as they say his lovers) the "metaphor" than adequate stupidity in the world typical of the people that are supposed to (and is often supposed) intelligence. Robert Musil called the foolishness indeed a real disease of culture.

ILLOCALINO

... the name says, is a small restaurant overlooking the square Ionian. A few tables in an intimate and full of warmth, the warmth that knows infondfergli Judith the director, a woman with a smile, open and friendly, mild-mannered and with a very particular taste. Last night, in spite of Gnagnarelli that bored us all day and humidity that was cut with a knife, we were his guests for dinner. The menu, very special, we have chosen, range extent, Laura and I and the chef, Ugo , carried it out superbly.

In a Neapolitan potato pie, a lasagna broccoli and sausage and a cheese cake American accent (not to mention the fettuccine tomato, basil and buffalo mozzarella, chicken stuffed with philadelphia dell'involtino and dried beef, the stew with cream bean blacks and chocolate cake ...) we have entertained guests with the room chatting amiably of our "Pagan River" and the recent "New York Is a Woman" produced by my prolific literary half.

For my character rather shy to be in the spotlight was not on at least one time, not at all embarrassing. The credit should be recognized, is all that Judith was able to transform a small literary event in an evening of chatter, good food and good wine with friends. And for this I am very grateful.

It 'nice to find people full of enthusiasm and even more beautiful is to discover in them the desire to develop and promote the achievement of others. Specifically in Illocalino find books galore, you can enjoy wonderful dishes while you flip through the pages and if you want you can buy to take home a little 'sweet smile of Judith, a pinch of his friendly and, because no, a good story.

My articles for La Sesia "Signals

Few things are as mendacious television. Still want them to see the signals are there. Last Saturday is back "Dancing with the Stars." Seventh edition. Formula as always, set design ever, presenter of all time. The program opposed "La Corrida", and show rodatissimo led by Flavio Insinna better. We expected a drubbing in the ratings. And there was. For amateurs of Channel 5. Ten percentage points of share, which are many. A case? Maybe. Play curiosity the new cast put together by Carlucci, plays the hype and the announcement of an unprecedented Roberta Flack in the guise of a dancer for a night. But the fact remains that "Dancing with the Stars" is staging a talent show where you do not win anything, we do not insult each other and no one is sent into the fray for the taste to mock and scroll to see blood and tears. The only thing that runs is the sweat of the competitors palpable as that which appears easy and graceful on the track, is the result of hours of grueling tests. What is the signal? The praise of the commitment, professionalism and sacrifice. And elegance. The name of Barbara Capponi say little to most readers. Economic journalist and host of some editions of Tg1, Barbara Capponi today is a beautiful woman of 42 years. But she was a finalist for Miss Italy and the reason for so many years ago can still be felt today. Slender, in splendid form, already dropped well in the role of a dancer, could dare more in look. She was noted on the air last Saturday by the president of the jury that, far from fashion scollacciata of tissue, however, is accustomed to seeing professional dancers showing off perfect bodies and costumes that enhance sensual movements. But Barbara Capponi strongly wanted a costume that nothing has taken to punish her performance. Little thing? Maybe. But it is a signal. As a signal San Remo was a victory of a text like that of Roberto Vecchioni. Send a big commitment, a long-time poet who certainly did not need to get in the race. Especially in light of the latest editions of the festival, uncontested triumphs of friends and friends Maria De Filippi. It could happen again, with Emma Brown. Young, pretty, with a loud voice, and in conjunction with the musical phenomenon of fashion for a song that is no longer transmitted by radio networks. The premiere sales, no matter that it came second. Yet it is a signal. The signal that there is still room for the value, experience, consistency of commitment. If you win the Festival San Remo is a man with all his wrinkles and his long career. If a challenge to win the Saturday night television is a show that depicts the attention to detail. If a beautiful woman refuses to show any more than necessary. And if so many people singing along with Vecchioni: damn this night will end though.
