Verba Volant
I really like this. A lot of people I know are setting
up their own companies, business, ventures. Of
course it is not easy, but surely better to wait that
the Titanic is finally sunk.
Here you have Anna Giordano's "Verba Volant".
If you need any writing service (in Italian) she is
there for you!

Insect Hotels: they provide a home to pollinators
and pest controllers. Tidy gardens, lawns and lackof dead wood, mean less and less habitat for wild
bees, spiders and ladybugs.

Incredible Edible
A revolution where we (literally) eat the
landscape!
What should a community do with its unused land?Plant food, of course. With energy and humor,
Pam Warhurst tells at the TEDSalon the story of
how she and a growing team of volunteers came
together to turn plots of unused land into
communal vegetable gardens, and to change thenarrative of food in their community.
Pam Warhurst cofounded Incredible Edible, an
initiative in Todmorden, England dedicated to
growing food locally by planting on unused landthroughout the community.

Here, the content of the email I received
yesterday:
Dear Mr Mirti,
The poll voting for the MOOC Production
Fellowship has just closed and we are proud to
count over 100.000 votes from potential students
for your courses.
Currently we are reviewing the results and we will
pass them on to the jury.
As we have explained before, the voting is
supposed to give an impression of potential
student interest in the course proposal.
Ultimately, however, it is up to the jury to decide
which of the proposals will be awarded the ten
fellowships.
We again wish you the best of luck with your
application, and are very excited to inform you
about the jurys decision until June 10. Please
mark June 20 and 21, 2013 in your calendars as we
will hold hold the award ceremony and the course
production workshop in Berlin on those dates.
All the best,
Your MOOC-Fellowship-Team

Stazione Potenza centrale
Basento Bridge
Sergio Musmeci, who along with contemporariesFrei Otto, Eladio Dieste, and his mentor Luigi
Nervi, derived his forms from the stresses incurred
upon different materials and structural systems,
usually through extensive studies using large-scale
models, reversing the typical design process whichfirst prescribes arbitrary geometry to specific
conditions or problems before seeing to structural
issues. The finalized form was the result of its
optimization, which ensured maximum efficiency
in performanceand minimal material usage.

So, from Milan to Matera, two jewels: the Heating
plant and main controls cabin, in Florence (by
Angiolo Mazzoni). And then, the Basento Bridge in
Potenza. Very nice!

San Costantino Albanese
Being around with Andrea Paoletti, one of the
most interesting things we went through it is the
Arbresh culture.
Wikipedia explains:
The Arbresh are a linguistic and ethnic Albanian
minority community living in southern Italy,especially the regions of Basilicata, Molise, Apulia,
Calabria and Sicily.
They settled in Southern Italy in the 15th to 18th
centuries AD in several waves of migrations,following the death of the Albanian national hero
George Kastrioti Skanderbeg and the gradual
conquest of Albania and throughout the Byzantine
Empire by the Ottoman Turks.

We spent a day in this town. We spoke with the
local people, we went to the museum, to the
church. Finally for dinner we met my friend Felice
Gualtieriwith his girlfriend (by chance, she is
Arbresh as well).
A full day into this mysterious culture. Very
interesting, very nice.

cotton or linen.

Pollino National Park.
Almost everyone talked about local values,
identity, and all kind of things not so familiar to
me.
Out of all these people, the most convincing one
was mr Federico Valicenti. A fantastic cook who
opened his restaurant (Luna Rossa) in 1981.
He didn't do it to support local values. He didn't do
it because he wanted to make a better world. He
did it because he wanted to achieve the best for
his restaurant.
A very nice attitude for a very special gent.

Pastina. Italian Goodies.
Last night I had a nice dinner with various
designers from Basilicata. Very interesting people,
very interesting stories.
Among them, the ones I liked the most are
Francesca Puddu and Domenico Santoro (Pastina).
They spin between Rome and Castelmezzano. They
use the finest Italian craftsmanship to make
contemporary design.
The real "makers", without the un-necessary and
obnoxious "maker" aesthetic.
