  • BARI - 3 DECEMBER 2019: The entrance of the Osteria delle Travi, which serves orecchiette sourced from an elderly woman, is seen here in Bari, Italy, on December 3rd 2019.<br />
<br />
The orecchiette are Bari's trademark ear-shaped pasta.<br />
<br />
According to the mayor’s office, in mid October police inspectors busted a local restaurant for serving untraceable orecchiette, a violation of Italian and European Union regulations that require food in restaurants to be clearly sourced. The police fined the restaurateur and forced him to trash three kilos of pasta.<br />
The suspected orecchiette suppliers are permitted to sell small plastic baggies of pasta for personal use, but are not licensed to deal large, unlabeled shipments to restaurants. The fear in a city where many families have their go-to pasta lady, is that Italy’s zeal for regulations, however often ignored, risk shutting down a source of local pride that is one of Bari’s biggest tourist attractions.

The orecchiette are Bari's trademark ear-shaped pasta.<br />
<br />
According to the mayor’s office, in mid October police inspectors busted a local restaurant for serving untraceable orecchiette, a violation of Italian and European Union regulations that require food in restaurants to be clearly sourced. The police fined the restaurateur and forced him to trash three kilos of pasta.<br />
The suspected orecchiette suppliers are permitted to sell small plastic baggies of pasta for personal use, but are not licensed to deal large, unlabeled shipments to restaurants. The fear in a city where many families have their go-to pasta lady, is that Italy’s zeal for regulations, however often ignored, risk shutting down a source of local pride that is one of Bari’s biggest tourist attractions.

<br />
The World Guinness Record of the largest concentration of centenarians - 0.449 percent per capita - was achieved by the town of Perdasdefogu, in the island of Sardinia, Italy, in April 2022. At the time the record was set, there were 8 centenarians in a population of 1,778.<br />
<br />
Sardinia has been identified as one of five regions in the world that have high concentrations of people over 100 years old: a total of 534 people across or 33.6 for every 100,000 inhabitants. But Perdasdefogu is unique because the number of centenarians in a town of its size is 16 times the national average.<br />
<br />
Perdasdefogu shot to fame in 2012 when the Melis family, made up of nine brothers and sisters, entered the Guinness World Records as the oldest living siblings on Earth, with a combined age at the time of 818. The town’s longest-surviving citizen to date is Consolata Melis, the eldest of the siblings, who died in 2015, two months short of 108 years old. Antonio Brundu, who turned 104 in March, is the current oldest resident.

  • CATANIA, ITALY - 3 OCTOBER 2021: Agata Peri (68), the great grandmother of Antonino Sparti (1 year old), who was banned from having a godfather, is seen here after the baptism outside the church  of Santa Maria della Guardia in Catania, Italy, on October 3rd 2021.<br />
<br />
The Roman Catholic diocese of Catania ended a grace period and imposed a three-year ban on the ancient tradition of naming godparents at baptisms and christenings, arguing that the once essential figure in a child’s Catholic education had lost all spiritual significance, becoming a mere connection for material gain and family ties — and sometimes mob ties — and should be at least temporarily scrapped. Other dioceses, including in the Tuscan city of Grosseto also announced plans this month to restrict the figure, and Pope Francis has expressed interest in the idea, according to the Calabrian archbishop who first floated it to him more than five years ago.<br />
<br />
That tainted notion of the godfather became most popularized by The Godfather, especially the iconic baptism scene when Michael Corleone renounces Satan in church as his henchmen whack all his enemies. But church officials warn that secularization more than anything led them to rub the godfather out.

The Exhibition is is divided into two separate presentations, Proposition A in the Arsenale and Proposition B in the Giardini’s Central Pavilion, comprising 79 artists from all over the world.  “May You Live In Interesting Times highlights artworks whose forms function in part to call attention to what forms conceal and the multifarious purposes that they fulfil. In an indirect manner, then, perhaps these artworks can serve as a kind of guide for how to live and think in ‘interesting times’.
