We tried years ago with Galatone Graziano, then with Daniela Fatiguso recently with Gianluca Sharp and finally, thanks to the song written by Pierdavide Carone, not only 't we made it to the Sanremo Festival, but we also won!
"For all the times that ...", sung by Valerio Scanu, winning song of the sixtieth edition of the Flower Festival, was written by palagianellese Pierdavide Carone. Pierdavide was born in Rome June 30, 1988 by Angelo, railway guard, and Carmen Palmisano. As a child she loved listening to vinyl records of his father singing and recording at all on a tape recorder. The editing programs do not exist, but there was passion, talent, skill and perseverance. A Neptune learned to play the flute with great results, and later, in Palagianello, guitar, and it was love. A love that led him first to play, then writing songs, taking guitar lessons at the same time both classical and electric tool to better understand and master the secrets and techniques.
Then, the first group, and the emergence and the comparison with the public. History of recent years. Pierdavide won his natural reserve and shyness: a love for music is more powerful flush. He continues to compose songs and improve their knowledge of pop music, rrock, metal and folk. The Folk Group Middle School helped him to constant and demanding an audience with which to compare. He attended the Institute to address psycho-pedagogical Music Acquaviva delle Fonti. It was a happy choice and fundamental to his artistic training and cultural enrichment of the socio-affective relations that will lead to its early human development and training. His music teachers appreciate both the technical skills as the meticulous research of the harmony of sounds, together with the texts increasingly deep and intimate. Meanwhile our Pierdavide still playing in bars and the streets hoping to get noticed. What then happened is known to the general public following the TV talent show. Dear
Pierdavide, you can be sure that all Palagianello suffered and rejoiced with you! Your well was our victory. We who have always seen the other win, which saw tremendous success only to preserve other parts of Italy we now have a hope of more. It was a clear victory, perfect, drawn with the team and the compass. This victory is an example for a country that, like ours has so much potential to be expressed and that for some 'time was discovered by the great circuits performing arts and culture. Now we expect you to reach success increasingly important, it being yourself, a good boy, good, quiet and polite conversationalist, never short on serious topics on which discussion and that surely will become part of the lyrics of your songs coming!

Prof. Danilo Mainardi presented his book 'The intelligence of the animals'
You can talk about intelligence in humans of the animal world that we are not men? Apparently, yes, and we learned Friday night during a meeting with Prof. Danilo Mainardi, organized by the City Council and the Museum of the Territory of Palagianello.
After the greeting of the culture and the Mayor Dr Joseph Antonicelli Labalestra Prof. Michele, who has announced that April 6 will be inaugurated the new Library and the Museum of Natural Resources, Prof. Dominic Caragnano, Director of the Museum, spoke of how the prof. Mainardi, as well as university teacher and scientific popularizer, is also a great lover of arts, which contribute, in the book 'The intelligence of animals' who presented in the council, to render the concepts clearer to the members of the younger generation . The book focuses on the figure and the activity of the cat, which represents 'independence and initiative of researchers,' said Caragnano. E 'Ode to the cat' by Pablo Neruda poetry is the young student who wanted to read Clare honor of his friends from 'The Discovery Channel'.
With the help of drawings that the public good television is used, prof. Mainardi has treated the existence of beings whose nature is full, beings that respond to them so the key to resolving problems, although often with simple rules. What strikes us about the concept, related to the animal world, of 'cognitive ethology' and thus learn concepts, always interesting, the octopus, mussels, cat, dog, mice, birds.
There comes to mind a series of short documentaries in black and white, we saw forty years ago, entitled "Discovering the animals," the young prof. Danilo Mainardi, and we stop to think that is what is lacking in a widespread manner in all areas in Italy today: a truly popular television, made in a simple, complex and interesting notions, made by programmers not to pursue the restoration of forfeited way money to balanced budgets, thinking that the Italians have only mediocre filler needs of their existence. We need a TV that will educate and is not deformed. TV seriously, but not bigoted nor vulgar. As our TV girl, we children of the years between '60 and '70, when we saw "In Search of animals."

"Muisne," says Paul el, "it rhymes" .
"Muisne" answers el Chili, "a isla es maldida.
"El Paul y el Chili, "echoed Carlito ," son los demonios de la isla, el blanco y el negro. "
Muisne, says the little Thai, is smaller than any other city I've ever seen, which are Esmeraldas, Quito and Santo Domingo de los Colorados , "whence hay mas de todo."
Muisne A school is interesting, learning English, mathematics and religion, but by and large, Thai and his cousin will want to make a secret estuary and the "Licenciado" in one of the other three cities c h have already known, and possibly in Quito, where - is True, there is no water - but it's so great ep hyena of things that the sea gives him a mustache. Even Avril would like to go, Thai and his cousin, but no n is that we want to start now, in spring, at the extremity veins age of 7 years, no. Rather, the similarity between Brazil and cursed the damn Avril forever.
A Muisne, down the road that leads to the playa live a couple of curious aggregate ind ividui: a group of Rastafarians from negroni f ISICO sculptural eye typically "pious" but the risk Latin, who lives in the knowledge of its immense beauty and moves
and rhythm of reggaeton is also going to buy bread, and another handful of young, much more faded and less bobmarleyschi, but equally Carucci, ch and feed between the other things of strange foods from names exotic cheese, 'nduja, sausage. In the pueblo, finally, are all other muisneñi, quiet people who worked, one might say, even if you stick your nose in the affairs of one of the few local oficinas, it turns out that it might be more appropriate to sing
agi or other body of type. But that's another history and even the devils we are told that other, we're not here to sow discord.
Anthropologically, however, Muisne, with its 6000 inhabitants, offers insights curious.
To get and M uisne undoubtedly exist numerous combinations of paths. In general, however, from where it is (somewhat ssibilmente in South America and possibly in E cuador), you must move to the coast and catch a bus going north (this assuming from Quito). Obviously, among these, not all stop at Muisne and not at all hours. So if you happen to visit a friend in Muisne, or if you have to find a set with him Friday evening in the nearby, riminesca Atacames, you better not forget to book early pasaje on a bus just because it is not d ect that the friend in question is a devils island and especially that he has a van with which to come to pick up you and your huge mochilla in the terminal in which after a long wander you are, One way or another gone.
Reach Muisne, then, is not decided ment and how to reach Florence or Rome, or Madrid. Add to Muisne is surprising in the sense that you will receive a surprise. Let me explain. No n know if it's common, but one of the most common feelings that I capture while I'm around is to wish that the journey that leads me to any and goal, never ends. At first, for the first three to ten minutes, I get right. Then I get used to, I acostumbro car, plane, walk in, the seat of the train, the seat of the horse to do rso of the donkey and the annoying nterrompere the balance. But when you get to Florence, Rome or Madrid and you get enough, take or leave it.
A the contrary, the end of a trip to Muisne and it is not like any other purposes. Arrivals at the muelle and your host will says: "We have arrived", as in the best traditions. And in the best traditions already beginning to annoy. But a matter of moments, because I guarantee that it is a real surprise to see our backpack on his shoulders and get the stone steps coming no rights to the surface of the water rights, where it is berthed at the best ready- a spear, a small motor boat skilfully furnished with lots of plastic chairs (There was a very nice house with no attic without a kitchen), which carries the distinguished service of transporting people from one part of the arm fiu me-the sea that separates the two parts of town.
Yes. Because this side of the pier is Muisne, but also beyond it to Muisne.
So your journey will end, or at least not immediately, and as an encore at a concert: Guccini think it is really or gone and instead there he goes out and reattach about with "The locomotive. " So here is yes. Exactly. Take the spear and it's as if the band came back on stage o.
A Muisne seems that there is nothing. A handful of shops and bazaars , no car, no cinema, sometimes no electricity, no water at times.
Muisne But there are several crickets, there are horses, there are frogs, geckos i, the cows that graze on to the beach and there are birds with pe tto and head so red, but so red that even Marx would pushed that far.
Muisne At night you fall asleep as the waves Pacific he continue to fes ta and the awakening you can also go to speak with the Ocean. And often the answer. It happens that you laugh in the face sguai ed, but sometimes meets with more courtesy and wisdom and makes you feel a real privilege.
A Muisne, to be fair, for every person there are a thousand mosquito killer, the most tireless and methods of the sea, which are used to set a limit to the excesses of romanticism and thought that the Islamic cause maldida . Everything we see, has its BAL hybrid in nature.
A Muisne, then, there was once Manglar. Or rather, there was once much more Manglar than there is now.
The mangle, to understand is that what we are talking about not knowing about up to middle school, when teachers of geography try to impress upon all costs mind the strange words, even if nza have them in 90% of cases, the faintest idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you are referring to: tundra, taiga, steppe, just the mangle, the mangroves.
Until a week ago my knowledge of mangroves would have justified the choice of our volcanic Minister Gelmini (which, as we are still quite ignorant has recently launched a proposal to abolish the teaching of geography in ), but now that I have found are eager to proclaim to the world that the mangroves really exist or (just as the Incas and the Andes) and this right is more or less their ghostly face.
Manglar This is a unique ecosystem characterized by a great biodiversity. The roots ae ree plants form an environment in which live birds, fish, molluscs, crustaceans and , bees, birds, mammals, reptiles and about 70 different species of tropical trees and shrubs and subtro Pical. Artisanal fishing in Manglar is the main source of protein for coastal populations (and, among other things, the most important source of procure tion of fish for the entire Ecuador) and from it derive a whole series products that contribute to the centrality not only ecological but also economic that, for the population must oni that rely on it:
The problem with mangroves muisneñe - and I have a sneaking suspicion that the same also happens elsewhere - is called camaroneras (camarones pools where they are bred). What's camaron is big business in Ecuador. In general, the world is one of the most profitable, given that the average net profit to be drawn from an investment of
$ 40 in the area is about $ 400. But the central point of the matter is that where there are no camaroneras the Manglar.
The U.S. is the world's largest importer of Ecuadorian camaron Here consumption in recent years has increased from about 0.2 pounds per person more than 3 and is still growing steadily. The European Union is the second largest consumer, mainly driven by demand from Spain, France, Italy and the Netherlands: 20.5% of exports from Ecuador to the EU are camarones. But, strange but true, is not exactly the local population to benefit from the exploitation of the sector. First, the industries camaroneras are foreign, so that roam the profits Ecuador and they go elsewhere, and secondly, contrary to what one might think, the presence of these industries does not create jobs for the population local and if this happens, the working conditions are very bad. For example, the few local employees during working camaron (it seems that the practice is to hire foreign workers, to circumvent the lack of confidence against the local population) work up to 18 hours a day, standing near temperatures artificially kept very low, forced to constantly manipulate chemical disinfectants such as chlorine. addition, it is estimated that a camaronera can offer up to a maximum of 10 jobs per hectare. In contrast, an acre of nglar but may provide for the maintenance of about 100 people. The destruction of mangroves for the construction of swimming pools in Ecuador camaroneras began thirty years ago. According to data of the 'Instituto Ecuatoriano Forestal y de Áreas Naturales, Ecuador in January 2000 in the camaroneras ocucpavano an area of \u200b\u200b207,000 hectares. Of these, only 50,454 were operating legally.
In the province of Esmeraldas, where he is also Muisne, where are the best preserved Manglar Ecuador and where species have been identified the world's highest, more than 90% of the pools are illegal and camaroneras installed in the last twenty years their presence in the region has more than doubled. A Muisne camaronera and its industry destroyed about 84% of the mangle, so that the present 20,098 hectares in 2003, it currently only about 3,173 survived, with all the ecological and economic consequences of the case.
This may in Muisne almuerzo that happen on a rico cebiche muelle de mariscos (shellfish, raw, seasoned only with lemon and herbs: stuff to go back to Magna in the Andes' r mice need to stay dry) pass some gall to do that with sarcastic comments the local " Well, but then you also eat them the camarones " , forgetting is that tto muisneni of camarones is fed even before the arrival of talented entrepreneurs and that this projection on the international markets has not brought them nothing but poverty.
A Muisne began to fight in defense of Manglar many years ago and the black devil was among the major supporters of the struggle. To date, I explained the white devil, the battle for the Manglar is almost completed and for now the bad guys had the best, but is not yet time to rest, or resign.
The other danger that threatens the ecosystem muisneño called eucalyptus and mechanisms come into play here too interesting.
Muisne NOT in fact there was once a eucalyptus.
As wikipedia tells us, in fact, eucalyptus is a plant native to Oceania, transplanted over the centuries in various corners of the planet for various reasons. In Ecuador eucalyptus came to half of the nineteenth century, but it was only towards the end of the last millennium, which began its systematic exploitation in the country, despite the fact that it has been demonstrated that the intensive cultivation of eucalyptus trees to be harmful m discusses several ecosystems, causing, inter alia, soil depletion, loss of biodiversity and depletion of water bodies.
In particular, around 2000, a friendly consortium of Japanese companies, Chilean and American decided it was time to groped the coup and formed the EUCAPACIFIC SA, which was launched by an ambitious project to $ 50 million which provided for the eucalyptus forest to six years in an area of \u200b\u200b10,500 hectares in the province of Esmeraldas (Where there is also Muisne) and its subsequent exploitation for at least the next 20 years.
Although the obvious aim of an operation of this size leaves little room for imagination and it's quite clear that the aim is to make profits from the sale of timber and paper, official statements from EUCAPACIFIC in recent years were of a different mold. They argue that behind the project were ideas such as conservation of native forests, promoting an innovative idea of \u200b\u200b"harmony between the social and economic progress and the preservation of the environment, the reduction of CO2 he liv in the atmosphere, dissemination practices of responsible and appropriate reforestation ...
But now wikipedia runs back to help us, telling us that the word "eucalyptus" is derived from the greek "εὖ καλύπτω", meaning "well hidden". And, one might say, the question arises: what living off of this international mission with a high carbon footprint?
The EUCAPACIFIC in fact never denied that in Ecuador, especially in the region of Esmeraldas had been long identified the opportunity to quickly get a large timber production (the species chosen for the task of reforestation grow around it in about 6-7 years and allow the tree to get high on average about thirty meters and a trunk diameter of 20-25 cm), allowing you to open the land-use relatively quickly.
addition, three of the four companies that were the EUCAPACIFIC - Mitsubishi Paper Mills (Japan), Expoforestal (Chile and the U.S.) and Sumitomo Corporation (Japan) - had the dual purpose of clear and secure a direct source of supply of timber, reducing costs and raising profits in the sector, however, already quite high.
The other company, the Electric Power Development (Japan) pursued its part slightly different objectives. Through the project, in fact, the company hopes to meet its obligations c on the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, by which various companies have undertaken (on pain of sanctions rather than salt) to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide generated by their activities. One of the measures that the protocol aims to fulfill this commitment is precisely the reforestation (although in the scientific community there is no agreement about the usefulness of this practice to reduce the rate of CO2 in the atmosphere), so that they learn to EPDs , as they say, to make "a virtue of necessity", eventually capitalize on the potential punishment kyotesca.
addition to this there is to say that the new planting eucalyptus trees are treated with chemical fertilizers and there is some probability that the species used to be GM, given the spectacular growth times (and seen the 'commitment Mitsubishi Pape r Mills in the field). So, to paraphrase the Secretary of the World Rainforest Movement, "Instead of addressing the issue in a realistic way - which would lead to the increase of sustainable management of forests, the protection secondary forests and respect for communities and indigenous peoples living in these territories - the governments of north and corporations are simply cercadno of "color green" their face ".
Returning to our little ancient world, the island in two phases, of infinite purposes, of Manglar and camarones, the objective of the new battle is to be able to make an alternative reforestation, with techniques and means most appropriate to return to the small Muisne the tropical humid forest that has been plundered over the years.
wrote Terzani: "How many massacres, how many earthquakes happen in the world, how many ships sink, how many volcanoes explode, and how much, how many people will be persecuted, tortured and killed! Eppu king, if there is someone who picks up a witness who writes, someone who makes a picture, that leaves a trail in a book, it's as if those events never happened! Suffering without consequence, without history. Because the story only exists if someone tells it. "
And never Muisne as I heard these words echoing in his head. Muisne Who knows how many exist around the world. And no one tells. Who knows how many colorful birds. Who knows how many concerts, night clubs of frogs and crickets and tides. Who knows how many brothers Manglar there was a time, and today there are more. And who knows how many devils blacks and whites if they are to the four corners of the Earth to challenge the order on which the rest of us messy rest calm and not too often unaware.

The problem with mangroves muisneñe - and I have a sneaking suspicion that the same also happens elsewhere - is called camaroneras (camarones pools where they are bred). What's camaron is big business in Ecuador. In general, the world is one of the most profitable, given that the average net profit to be drawn from an investment of

In contrast, an acre of nglar but may provide for the maintenance of about 100 people.

According to data of the 'Instituto Ecuatoriano Forestal y de Áreas Naturales, Ecuador in January 2000 in the camaroneras ocucpavano an area of \u200b\u200b207,000 hectares. Of these, only 50,454 were operating legally.

A Muisne camaronera and its industry destroyed about 84% of the mangle, so that the present 20,098 hectares in 2003, it currently only about 3,173 survived, with all the ecological and economic consequences of the case.
This may in Muisne almuerzo that happen on a rico cebiche muelle de mariscos (shellfish, raw, seasoned only with lemon and herbs: stuff to go back to Magna in the Andes' r mice need to stay dry) pass some gall to do that with sarcastic comments the local " Well, but then you also eat them the camarones " , forgetting is that tto muisneni of camarones is fed even before the arrival of talented entrepreneurs and that this projection on the international markets has not brought them nothing but poverty.
A Muisne began to fight in defense of Manglar many years ago and the black devil was among the major supporters of the struggle. To date, I explained the white devil, the battle for the Manglar is almost completed and for now the bad guys had the best, but is not yet time to rest, or resign.
The other danger that threatens the ecosystem muisneño called eucalyptus and mechanisms come into play here too interesting.
Muisne NOT in fact there was once a eucalyptus.
As wikipedia tells us, in fact, eucalyptus is a plant native to Oceania, transplanted over the centuries in various corners of the planet for various reasons. In Ecuador eucalyptus came to half of the nineteenth century, but it was only towards the end of the last millennium, which began its systematic exploitation in the country, despite the fact that it has been demonstrated that the intensive cultivation of eucalyptus trees to be harmful m discusses several ecosystems, causing, inter alia, soil depletion, loss of biodiversity and depletion of water bodies.
In particular, around 2000, a friendly consortium of Japanese companies, Chilean and American decided it was time to groped the coup and formed the EUCAPACIFIC SA, which was launched by an ambitious project to $ 50 million which provided for the eucalyptus forest to six years in an area of \u200b\u200b10,500 hectares in the province of Esmeraldas (Where there is also Muisne) and its subsequent exploitation for at least the next 20 years.
Although the obvious aim of an operation of this size leaves little room for imagination and it's quite clear that the aim is to make profits from the sale of timber and paper, official statements from EUCAPACIFIC in recent years were of a different mold. They argue that behind the project were ideas such as conservation of native forests, promoting an innovative idea of \u200b\u200b"harmony between the social and economic progress and the preservation of the environment, the reduction of CO2 he liv in the atmosphere, dissemination practices of responsible and appropriate reforestation ...
But now wikipedia runs back to help us, telling us that the word "eucalyptus" is derived from the greek "εὖ καλύπτω", meaning "well hidden". And, one might say, the question arises: what living off of this international mission with a high carbon footprint?
The EUCAPACIFIC in fact never denied that in Ecuador, especially in the region of Esmeraldas had been long identified the opportunity to quickly get a large timber production (the species chosen for the task of reforestation grow around it in about 6-7 years and allow the tree to get high on average about thirty meters and a trunk diameter of 20-25 cm), allowing you to open the land-use relatively quickly.
addition, three of the four companies that were the EUCAPACIFIC - Mitsubishi Paper Mills (Japan), Expoforestal (Chile and the U.S.) and Sumitomo Corporation (Japan) - had the dual purpose of clear and secure a direct source of supply of timber, reducing costs and raising profits in the sector, however, already quite high.
The other company, the Electric Power Development (Japan) pursued its part slightly different objectives. Through the project, in fact, the company hopes to meet its obligations c on the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, by which various companies have undertaken (on pain of sanctions rather than salt) to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide generated by their activities. One of the measures that the protocol aims to fulfill this commitment is precisely the reforestation (although in the scientific community there is no agreement about the usefulness of this practice to reduce the rate of CO2 in the atmosphere), so that they learn to EPDs , as they say, to make "a virtue of necessity", eventually capitalize on the potential punishment kyotesca.
addition to this there is to say that the new planting eucalyptus trees are treated with chemical fertilizers and there is some probability that the species used to be GM, given the spectacular growth times (and seen the 'commitment Mitsubishi Pape r Mills in the field). So, to paraphrase the Secretary of the World Rainforest Movement, "Instead of addressing the issue in a realistic way - which would lead to the increase of sustainable management of forests, the protection secondary forests and respect for communities and indigenous peoples living in these territories - the governments of north and corporations are simply cercadno of "color green" their face ".
Returning to our little ancient world, the island in two phases, of infinite purposes, of Manglar and camarones, the objective of the new battle is to be able to make an alternative reforestation, with techniques and means most appropriate to return to the small Muisne the tropical humid forest that has been plundered over the years.
wrote Terzani: "How many massacres, how many earthquakes happen in the world, how many ships sink, how many volcanoes explode, and how much, how many people will be persecuted, tortured and killed! Eppu king, if there is someone who picks up a witness who writes, someone who makes a picture, that leaves a trail in a book, it's as if those events never happened! Suffering without consequence, without history. Because the story only exists if someone tells it. "
And never Muisne as I heard these words echoing in his head. Muisne Who knows how many exist around the world. And no one tells. Who knows how many colorful birds. Who knows how many concerts, night clubs of frogs and crickets and tides. Who knows how many brothers Manglar there was a time, and today there are more. And who knows how many devils blacks and whites if they are to the four corners of the Earth to challenge the order on which the rest of us messy rest calm and not too often unaware.
