Berlusconi: "Non ho mai avuto rapporti piccanti"
Silvio Berlusconi: "Non ho mai avuto rapporti piccanti con Noemi. Lo giuro sui miei figli."
I just love the literal translation: I did not have spicy relations with Noemi. Too awesome!
(If I were translating it per benino, I am sure I would use a different word. But how fun to say "spicy relations"!)
I'm assuming y'all have been somewhat following the latest Berlusconi saga in which Italy's head of state may or may not (read: DID) have some weird relationship with an 18-year-old.
I guess I will file this under 'lingua.' Literally!

Olio d'ulivo
I was afraid the opportunity to write about this olive oil had slipped through my fingers. After buying it for months, all of a sudden we could not find it at the DeKalb Farmers Market in Decatur.
Then it miraculously reappeared.
San Giuliano Alghero Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Sardegna.
It's awesome! You would not necessarily use it to cook, but we use it on our salads, on bruschetta, on risotto, whathaveyou.
I try to keep things simple when it comes to eating and in fact, when I think back to what Italian friends told me about food, the advice was always very simple.
So olive oil needs to be cloudy. And green. If it's clear and yellow, it just probably won't taste as good on a salad (but might work well as a cooking oil).
If you live in Atlanta, you can find San Giuliano Alghero at the DeKalb Farmers Market for $8.89 (you'll have it a long time).
Buon appetito!

Funnyman Takes on Dante’s ‘Comedy’

Arcore=Hardcore
Troppo bello ragazzi!
I haven't written about Silvio Berlusconi's latest marital shenanigans, but I couldn't resist posting this cartoon.
First off, because I absolutely love political cartoonists. I think they are brilliant! They manage to convey so much information in a few lines and one panel of imagery.
Secondly, the play on words is cutesy. Arcore is one of Berlusconi's estates, so basically the cartoonist is saying the prime minister's home is more or less a brothel.
What can I add? Really nothing. The best commentary I saw alleges that Berlusconi knows news of his infidelity and his boundless interest in the fairer sex only STRENGTHENS his following and his legacy in Italy.
Of course, c'è anche da dire che his current wife, Veronica Lario, who entered that marital state after having an affair with Silvio while he was married to Signora Berlusconi No. 1 (or was she No. 2?!), should have expected this.
What, he cheated on No. 1 with you, but surely he won't cheat on you?
Che buffo! Ovvero: che buffona.

Vespa Watch -- Savannah
La vespa è molto ma molto populare a Savannah. Voi conoscete Savannah, credo, perché il libro (e dopo il film) Mezzonotte nel giardino del bene e del male ha luogo li. E ci metto solamente 3,5 ore in macchina per arrivarci da casa mia.
Comunque quando ho visto che c'era una concessionaria di Vespa, chiaramente ho dovuto scattare qualche foto per il blog!
Come vedete, si vende anche l'abbigliamento ed oltre a comprare un motorino, lo si può anche noleggiare.
Savannah come città mi rammenta molto Firenze, a dir il vero. Sarà perché Savannah è forse l'unica città in USA dove ci sono le piazze vere e proprie. Città perfetta per una bella passeggiata.
Riconoscete qualcuno? Si è Il Nostro Inviato. A lui piace Savannah perché i locali offrono la birra da portare via -- e bere per strada. Solamente a Savannah ragazzi! Non lo provate a New York.

Terremoto: "One Building In Two Unsafe At L’Aquila"
From Corriere della Sera's Italian Life section:
One Building In Two Unsafe At L’Aquila
Checks reveal 30% of homes, schools and public buildings in province also unsafe. Public prosecutor calls inquiry “the mother of all investigations”
L’AQUILA – The situation is much worse than it appeared initially. After the first 1,000 checks carried out by the civil protection agency on buildings still standing, it transpires that one in two is unsafe.
This is enough to confirm that the historic centre of L’Aquila and the villages at the epicentre of the quake could be in a state of near-catastrophe. The investigation, launched by the public prosecutor’s office, concentrated on the three streets with the highest numbers of victims – Via XX Settembre, Via Luigi Sturzo and Via Generale Francesco Rossi – along with public edifices that either collapsed or suffered severe damage, despite having been built to comply with anti-earthquake criteria.
It is suspected that unsuitable building materials may have been used, or that reports of serious problems may have been ignored despite calls for evacuation or restructuring of the edifices concerned.
The civil protection agency carried out some checks in less severely affected areas to enable those who have left homes that are not at risk to leave the emergency camps. Magistrates are taking another approach and have given priority to collapsed buildings that claimed victims. Less badly damaged buildings will come under scrutiny later.
Early figures from both inquiries are worrying. Out of 162 “private residential buildings” inspected at L’Aquila, precisely half – 81 – are no longer fit for habitation. Things are little better in the province, where 643 check ups produced 248 negative results.
The first figures for public structures are equally discouraging, the 78 checks in L’Aquila producing 45 cases where inspectors were unable to declare the building safe. The same average emerged from inspections of schools. Out of 25 schools visited at L’Aquila, 14 were found to be unsafe while three out of six inspected in the province also failed to meet requirements. This is just the beginning.
According to estimates from the civil protection agency, at least 22,000 buildings are require attention, a total that is destined to rise. It will take months to quantify the damage and magistrates will also be busy with criminal investigations for some time.
Public prosecutor Alfredo Rossini called it “the mother of all investigations.” Yesterday, Mr Rossini’s deputy, Fabio Picuti, chaired a meeting with the team of experts and investigators appointed to inspect the building stock.
Both magistrates know that it could take weeks to identify any criminal liability since engineers will have to report and chemical tests will have to be carried out before charges can be brought. In the circumstances, these could range from culpable disaster to manslaughter. Most important, investigators must recover files relating to the buildings that collapsed or were seriously damaged, documents that are held in local authority offices themselves declared unsafe. Recovery has been delegated to officers from the flying squad, coordinated by Salvatore Gava.
Early checks carried out at the student residence and San Salvatore hospital revealed that reinforced concrete columns may not have been code-compliant as insufficient iron appears to have been used. The concrete itself will now be analysed. Volunteers from the mountain rescue cave unit – which for the first time used micro-explosives to clear rubble – told how they noticed “how friable the structures were. In fact, the frame came away in our hands."

Una barza!
Today's joke:
Un sindaco chiede un preventivo per pitturare la facciata del municipio e gli arrivano tre offerte.
Quella di un tedesco di 3.000 euro, quella di un francese di 6.000 e quella di un italiano di 9.000 euro.
Davanti a tali differenze convoca una riunione con i tre concorrenti affinchè giustifichino i loro preventivi.
Il tedesco gli dice che vuole usare una vernice acrilica per esterni che costa 1.000 euro e che vuole dare due mani, poi tra impalcature e pennelli si spendono altri 1.000 euro ed il resto è il suo guadagno.
Il francese giustifica il suo preventivo dicendo che lui è il miglior pittore in circolazione, che usa una vernice poliuretanica e che vuole dare tre mani. La pittura viene quindi 3.000 euro, tra impalcature e pennelli si spendono altri 2.000 euro e gli altri 1.000 sono il suo guadagno.
L'italiano, che viene ascoltato solo per curiosità poichè il suo preventivo non è paragonabile agli altri, dice: "Sindaco, il mio è sicuramente il preventivo migliore: 3.000 euro sono per te, 3.000 sono per me e 3.000 sono per il tedesco che pittura la facciata..."

Beneficenza @ Fritti (Atlanta)
(Tutti i soldi incassati ieri sera alla pizzeria andrà ad un fondo per le vittime).
Eravamo stati li a mangiare l'anno scorso prima di fare il trasloco, ma si voleva tornare perché c'era arrivato un nuovo pizzaiolo da Napoli.
Allora abbiamo assaggiato la pizza e persino abbiamo incontrato il pizzaiolo! Si chiama Enrico, e girava per la pizzeria, offrendo limoncello dopocena.
Ho preso la pizza margherita (che vedi nella foto quassù) e Il Nostro Inviato invece ha preso la pizza toscana. Erano buone, anche se la pizza qui in USA è sempre diversa da quella che si mangia in Italia. Non ne sono esperta ma credo che abbia a fare con l'acqua.
La crosta è piuttosto morbida e spessa. Però era buona! Soprattutto con la mozzarella di bufala.
E poi non importa se abbiamo mangiato bene o meno -- si voleva fare un piccolo gesto nei confronti dei terramotati.

Musica: "La Mia Ragazza"
"La Mia Ragazza" di Luca Carboni
Watch it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTIHSKo6iKA
La mia ragazza è un fiore che vedo sbocciare
sulle lenzuola dell'ospedale
sul suo vestito bianco il suo viso stanco
piange gocce di rugiada
La mia ragazza è l'Africa, è calda e limpida
la mia ragazza è tutto il mondo
...e tiene in braccio il suo bambino
apre gli occhi è piccolino...
La mia ragazza è terra, è carne e sangue
dal suo seno nasce il grano
La mia ragazza è anima, spirito e preghiera
dal suo cuore nasce amore
è un raggio di sole che illumina la stanza
la mia ragazza è mia x sempre
...e tiene in braccio il mio bambino
chiude gli occhi è piccolino
e tiene in braccio il mio bambino
apre il becco è un uccellino...
Infermiere, ostetriche, pediatri e dottori
poi i re magi ed i pastori
e questo è il centro di tutto il pianeta
in cielo la stella cometa
...e tiene in braccio il suo bambino
apre gli occhi è piccolino
e tiene in braccio il mio bambino
muove le ali è un uccellino...
Sta tutto dentro ad una mano
apre le ali è già lontano...

Always Looking for Signs of Italy in Atlanta
Moto Bravo scooter store in Midtown (Atlanta) above and also in the photo below; Should be the right place to find Vespa t-shirts for Il Nostro Inviato!
Atlanta is a good place to own a scooter. Maybe if Il Nostro Inviato didn't already have an Alfa Romeo....but he does!
Saw this sign, above, on the porch of a house in Cabbagetown! It translates as, "Welcome to Foley's Vineyard."
Okay, so I saw this last "sign of Italy in Atlanta" in my own kitchen ma va bene, no?! Le lasagne -- buonissime!

Peanuts all'italiana
Translation:
Charlie Brown: Do you ever think about the future, Linus?
Linus: Oh sure, all the time.
Charlie Brown: What do you think you'd like to be when you grow up?
Linus: Outrageously happy!
Eh...ci mancherebbe! But of course! The first moment as an American when you realize people all over the world read -- or have read -- the Peanuts comic strip, it's surprising. Then you remember we're all people, we're all longing for connection, we've all known someone who worries over every little thing like Charlie Brown and we've all admired the people who give him comfort (and/or tolerate his pessimism without giving an inch!).
