On earthquake of L'Aquila and sorroundings (Italy).

"Il faut réduire le hasard au minimum". So Sartre said in '40s. It needs to reduce chance at minimum.A civil society, a modern democracy must learn to contain the destructive power of natural calamities, represented by one of four Apocalypse's riders.Voltaire in "Earthquake of Lisbon" want that man learns to dominate these catastrophical events.Somebody said that earthquakes are, at least approximately, predictables and he risked, like at the time of Holy Inquisition, to be sent in prison.Scientists, those officially in public institutions, declared that earthquakes are not prediclables "in absolute way" forgetting that all absolutes fell to the end of '800 by crisis of positivism and of scientism. The famous "God is dead for compassion in regard of men" of Nietzsche.A scientist out of institutions declared not impossible to predict earthquakes.Today in Japan there are earthquakes without deads and not all buildings fall in ruins. And it is not a question of miracles.Anti-sismic organization and technologies offer means for containing dangers of calamities.The most important matter is don't be absolutes in negative sense.

Photographic essay and scenery’s birth

The 30s named cinema as seventh art. Now industrial movies have largely reduced the space of quality’s cinema.
The same thing happened for literature. The “best-seller”, heir, for very poor readers, of French “feuilleton” and of Italian “romanzo d’appendice” has buried the novel of high quality. Today the space of high level is occupied by essay and by poem for theatre-poetry.

CONTRO Ugo Ciappina’s story robber and martyr

Some American and South-african universities has discovered, with my great surprise, one of my book which was published forty years ago in Milan, that is in 1968. Not only, but they have also succeeded, I don’t know how, in coming in possession of one copy, they have reprinted it and, even though it is in Italian, they have placed it at students’ disposal in their libraries and also in the two biggest libraries in America, the civic one in New York and that of American Congress in Washington. The universities which have discovered my book and have reprinted it are:
- Brown University of Providence (Rode Island)
- Princeton University of Princeton, N.J. (New Jersey)

“In the name of Matteotti” and University of Michigan

At the same time that some universities of America and of South-Africa discovered one of my books, i.e. “Contro”, published in Milan in 1968, the University of Michigan discovered a book on “Brigades Matteotti” of italian Resistence which cited my name as one of vice-commandants. This university had in hand a copy, reprinted it and put it in its library available for students and teachers.
Now I am one of few survivors of the Brigade s Matteotti and consequently I can give again a testimony on history of this glorious brigades.

Paradox in Vatican

An obsessive bawling against about one million of couples, an absolute silence for one billion of believers offended in their faith.
A great bawling , incessant and obsessive, against legalization of about one million of gay couples. At the same time an absolute silence in regard of blasphemous use , for sake of gain, of the Christ, use which offends sensibility of about one milliard of christians and also the common sense of laimen who , in respect of their freedom’s moral , worry about dignity of christians. This is the superiority of classic moral in comparison of religious morals.
