“Orti di guerra” by Rosamaria Aquino, with the collaboration of Marzia Amico, investigates why it has become more convenient to keep the fields fallow. We are the land of pasta, pizza, cheese and DOP meat. Our made in Italy boasts imitations all over the world, but the war in Ukraine, a country among the most important cereal producers in the world, has highlighted how much we depend on abroad for raw materials: we don’t have enough to produce our excellences. What policies over the years have made us so fragile? And who is speculating on skyrocketing prices? “Report” makes a journey in the agri-food chain among those who grow, trade and sell wheat on international markets to understand how much politics is able to regulate the market and how much the balance between large multinationals, farmers and producers, then affects income of those who produce raw materials and those who shop.
Since January 20, one of the most important theaters in Italy has closed its doors. “Once upon a time the Elysée” by Giulia Presutti reconstructs the history of the Roman theater which is on sale for 24 million euros, on the website of a real estate agency. Owner and artistic director is Luca Barbareschi, actor, producer, but also former politician. Over the years, his Eliseo has been awarded substantial public funding, such as the 8 million euro one included in the 2017 Budget Law, with the motivation of the celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the birth of the theater. On closer inspection, however, it turns out that the centenary had already been celebrated, several years earlier.
