Is the water from our tap, although potable, really good? If so, why we keep spending a lot of money on bottled water? We will try here to make things clear about the most valuable asset we have: clean water. Let’s start by saying something that not everyone knows: according to M.D. 31/2001, aqueducts and […]
Look at this picture: if you didn’t know that this is Mark Zuckerberg, you would think: “who’s this loser?” Kitsch plastic slippers, baggy jeans, sitting on a hub between a box and a photocopier, with an expression that conveys everything but charisma and self-confidence on his face; the classic nerd, who would have certainly been […]
Besides all the political considerations, now I’d like to point out the role of Rousseau Platform. Today’s leitmotiv from left to right wing is, more or less, that “60 thousand 5 Star Movement subscribers impose the government on 60 million Italians”; a statement that can effectively express dissent, but is still misleading, since we all […]

We worked on them together with Guido Giraudo, we reasoned with the aim of opening a door on a clearer horizon about how news is first written, then provided and, finally, consumed by the readers. This issue is anything but […]
by Alex Anderson MOSCOW – Money, work, freedom: he gave up everything to tell us that Orwell was right, even though we live in reality and not in the pages of a novel. We are all intercepted. Thanks to him, Obama admitted it, and before ending his presidency, he signed a bill to extend the […]
by Alessandro Nardone Those who know him deeply know: every time you are in front of him, Rocky Balboa takes you and carries you with him, to face not a boxer in the ring, but with yourself. Moreover is the same concept that during the film he repeats several times to the young Creed placing […]
by Alessandro Nardone Donald Trump is really the American Berlusconi? Absolutely, according to what is written by some authoritative commentators, mostly, they build their theory arguing with fundamental issues such as the bravado, the vile money and, unbelievable, “a troubled relationship with their hair.” Even! So, if it is true that they nourish some adversity […]
by Alessandro Nardone No getting around it: the policy, this policy – as stated caustic Rino Formica – “is blood and shit”; if you adapt you’re part of the game, otherwise you’re out. Who would (still) need confirmation to that effect – provided that it is still fiction and as such should not fall into […]
