Alessandro Ventura, CFO of Gruppo Ventura, traveled there some 20 times over the last three years, establishing a venture with an Iranian company engaged in expanding the national rail network. In March 2017, he signed a 2 million euro contract (about $2.3 million) to service a section of rail outside Teheran.<br />
He shipped two locomotives used to tamp down the rocks below railroad tracks. They went out on a freighter from Gioia Tauro, a port on the Tyrrhenian Sea that has long been notorious as a Mafia-run conduit for cocaine trafficking.<br />
Last August, Mr. Ventura stood at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas in 122 degree heat, watching a crane hoist the locomotives onto the docks.<br />
Now, those machines are effectively marooned, the business halted. Gruppo Ventura has lost appetite for adventurous expansion.<br />
<br />
Once the Obama administration struck the nuclear deal with Iran three years ago, Italy saw a chance. Last year, Italy exported more than 1.7 billion euros (nearly $2 billion) worth of goods to Iran. Then, President Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran deal and vowed to reinstate sanctions, dealing a blow to companies across Europe — especially those from Italy, Germany and France.

  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 24 MAY 2021: The tomb of Lorenzo the Magnificent, the poweful ruler of Florence who lifted the Medici dynasty and largely bankrolled the Renaissance, is seen here at the Medici Chapel in Florence, Italy, on May 24th 2021.<br />
<br />
An all-woman team used bacteria that fed on glue, oil and phosphates — if not flesh — as a bioweapon against centuries of stains, applying painstakingly tested and selected strains to the universally recognized masterpieces of Renaissance artist Michelangelo.<br />
<br />
The team - composed of the former and current directors of the Bargello Museum in Florence (which overseees the Medici Chapel, a biologist with the bio-restoration group at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, a scientifist of Italy’s National Research Council and two restorers - tested the bugs in November 2019 on the marble floor behind the altar but also on Michelangelo’s tomb for Giuliano di Lorenzo, Duke of Nemours. That sarcophagus is graced with reclining allegorical sculptures for Day, a hulking, twisted male figure, and Night, a female body Michelangelo made so smooth and polished as to seem as if she shined in moonlight. The team washed her hair with Pseudomonas stutzeri CONC11 bacteria, isolated from the waste of a tannery near Naples, and cleaned residue of casting molds, glue and oil off her ears with Rhodococcus sp. ZCONT, which came from soil contaminated with diesel in Caserta.<br />
<br />
When Covid hit in February 2020, the museum closed and the project slowed down. The bugs got back to the Medici Chapel in mid-October. The biologist and the restorers spread gels with the SH7 bacteria, isolated from soil contaminated by heavy metals at a mineral site in Sardinia, to the soiled sarcophagus of Lorenzo di Piero, Duke of Urbino, buried with his assassinated son Alessandro.<br />
<br />
“It ate the whole night,” said Marina Vincenti, one of the restorers.

An all-woman team used bacteria that fed on glue, oil and phosphates — if not flesh — as a bioweapon against centuries of stains, applying painstakingly tested and selected strains to the universally recognized masterpieces of Renaissance artist Michelangelo.<br />
<br />
The team - composed of the former and current directors of the Bargello Museum in Florence (which overseees the Medici Chapel, a biologist with the bio-restoration group at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, a scientifist of Italy’s National Research Council and two restorers - tested the bugs in November 2019 on the marble floor behind the altar but also on Michelangelo’s tomb for Giuliano di Lorenzo, Duke of Nemours. That sarcophagus is graced with reclining allegorical sculptures for Day, a hulking, twisted male figure, and Night, a female body Michelangelo made so smooth and polished as to seem as if she shined in moonlight. The team washed her hair with Pseudomonas stutzeri CONC11 bacteria, isolated from the waste of a tannery near Naples, and cleaned residue of casting molds, glue and oil off her ears with Rhodococcus sp. ZCONT, which came from soil contaminated with diesel in Caserta.<br />
<br />
When Covid hit in February 2020, the museum closed and the project slowed down. The bugs got back to the Medici Chapel in mid-October. The biologist and the restorers spread gels with the SH7 bacteria, isolated from soil contaminated by heavy metals at a mineral site in Sardinia, to the soiled sarcophagus of Lorenzo di Piero, Duke of Urbino, buried with his assassinated son Alessandro.<br />
<br />
“It ate the whole night,” said Marina Vincenti, one of the restorers.

The team - composed of the former and current directors of the Bargello Museum in Florence (which overseees the Medici Chapel, a biologist with the bio-restoration group at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, a scientifist of Italy’s National Research Council and two restorers - tested the bugs in November 2019 on the marble floor behind the altar but also on Michelangelo’s tomb for Giuliano di Lorenzo, Duke of Nemours. That sarcophagus is graced with reclining allegorical sculptures for Day, a hulking, twisted male figure, and Night, a female body Michelangelo made so smooth and polished as to seem as if she shined in moonlight. The team washed her hair with Pseudomonas stutzeri CONC11 bacteria, isolated from the waste of a tannery near Naples, and cleaned residue of casting molds, glue and oil off her ears with Rhodococcus sp. ZCONT, which came from soil contaminated with diesel in Caserta.<br />
<br />
When Covid hit in February 2020, the museum closed and the project slowed down. The bugs got back to the Medici Chapel in mid-October. The biologist and the restorers spread gels with the SH7 bacteria, isolated from soil contaminated by heavy metals at a mineral site in Sardinia, to the soiled sarcophagus of Lorenzo di Piero, Duke of Urbino, buried with his assassinated son Alessandro.<br />

  • CAPRI, ITALY - 10 MAY 2021: Alessandro De Simone (23), who was vaccinated, dusts crystal decanters at the Tiberio Palace hotel in Capri, Italy, on May 10th 2021.<br />
<br />
Feeling the heat from Greece and Spain, which had prioritized vaccination campaigns on their islands to lure tourists away from Italy,  Vincenzo De Luca - the president of the Campania region, which includes Capri -  diverged from the government’s vaccination strategy of prioritizing categories of more vulnerable Italians. Instead, he treated Capri and other holiday islands as special cases. He fast forwarded vaccinations on Capri by flooding the island with doses and inoculating first seniors, then the middle-aged, then 20-somethings and even some teenagers while the rest of the region was still struggling to inoculate all its 70- and 60-year-olds.

  • FOGGIA, ITALY - 3 FEBRUARY 2022: Alessandro Zito, President of The Foggia Antiracket Association, poses for a portrait at the end of a meeting in Foggia, Italy, on February 3rd 2022.<br />
<br />
A wave of bomb attacks on shops and businesses by a little-known but powerful mafia is terrorising the southern Italian area of Foggia. A wave of bomb attacks on shops and businesses by a little-known but powerful mafia is terrorising the southern Italian area of Foggia.<br />
<br />
The group, which has a reputation for extreme violence, destroyed at least a dozen local businesses, such as a perfume shop, a hairdresser and a car showroom in January. Most of the owners of these businesses had refused to pay a “protection fee” to the mob. No-one has been injured in the bombings.<br />
<br />
Last year, many shop owners reported to the police the mafia’s attempt to extort them. This has led to the arrest of a number of mafia bosses and seizure of assets worth millions of euros.<br />
<br />
The group is much less powerful than the Cosa Nostra or the ‘Ndrangheta, but it permeates the whole area. That has made Foggia one of the poorest parts of Puglia, which in turn is the most economically advanced region of southern Italy.

  • ROME, ITALY - 29 OCTOBER 2020: Edda Dell'Orso (born Edda Sabatini, 85, vocalist) poses for a portrait at the Forum Music Village (formerly called Ortophonic), the renowned recording studio founded by Ennio Morricone himself in 1970, here in Rome on October 29th 2020.<br />
<br />
The one with Edda Dell'Orso was certainly the<br />
most iconic and long-lasting artistic collaboration<br />
in Morricone's career, second only to the one with<br />
the beloved Alessandro Alessandroni (whistle, choir and guitar). Her angelic voice first stood out amongst the rows of “I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni”, then it became a soloist with C'era<br />
una volta il West (1968). From that moment on, Edda appears in almost every single soundtrack of the Maestro, and her voice becomes an instrument amongst the ones of the orchestra, endowed with an extraordinary expressive power.<br />
<br />
Ennio Morricone has been, without a doubt, themost important Italian artist of the last 60 years and possibly the most well-known film music composer of the 20th century. Behind the mainstream Morricone, hugely celebrated by critics and acclaimed by his audience, there is a hidden Morricone, a Morricone Segreto: an eccentric, underground genius who used his refined education to implant cultured materials in a daily, popular context. <br />
<br />
“Morricone Segreto” is a compilation explores what perhaps is the richest creative period of the Maestro, between the end of the 60s and the early 80s.<br />
<br />
The Morricone Segreto reunion is a special meeting with some of the key collaborators of the Maestro: the musician who originally played on the songs of the Morricone Segreto compilation.<br />
<br />
The sit-down took place in the rooms of the Forum Music Village (formerly called Ortophonic), the renowned recording studio founded by Morricone himself in 1970. Here, Morricone’s “Dream Team” was interviewed: his jazz player, guitarist, drummer, saxophonist and electric organist - as they were invited to a group listening session of the music of the Morricone Se
