  • PERDASDEFOGU, ITALY - 9 JUNE 2022: A plaque for Piazza Longevità - or Longevity Square - dedicated to Consolata Melis, who died two months short of 108 years old back in 2015, is seen here here in Perdasdefogu, Sardinia, Italy, on June 9th 2022.<br />
<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.

<br />
Giorgia Meloni said her victory would be a “payback for so many people who in this nation had to lower her head for decades,” but also “for all the people who saw it differently from the mainstream and the dominant power system.” They were, she said, “treated as the children of a lesser God.” As Italy debates why Ms. Meloni did so well in the elections — if it had to do more with Italy’s voracious appetite for something new or a shift to the right — her victory clearly provided a vindication to right wing loyalists who for years endured marginalization.

<br />
As of Monday June 4th 2018, Room 41 or the “Raphael and Michelangelo room” of the Uffizi is part of the rearrangement of the museum's collection that has<br />
been defining Uffizi Director Eike Schmidt’s grander vision for the Florentine museum.<br />
Next month, the museum’s Leonardo three paintings will be installed in a<br />
nearby room. Together, these artists capture “a magic moment in the<br />
first decade of the 16th century when Florence was the cultural and<br />
artistic center of the world,” Mr. Schmidt said. Room 41 hosts, among other paintings, the dual portraits of Agnolo Doni and his wife Maddalena Strozzi painted by Raphael round 1504-1505, and the “Holy Family”, that Michelangelo painted for the Doni couple a year later, known as the<br />
Doni Tondo.

<br />
Taranto, a  formerly lovely town on the Ionian Sea has for the last several decades been dominated by the ILVA steel mill, the largest steel plant in Europe. It was built by the government in the 1960s as a means of delivering jobs to the economically depressed south, but has been implicated for a cancer as dioxin and mercury have seeped into local groundwater, tainting the food supply, while poisoning the bay and its once-lucrative mussels.

<br />
Cash dogs are sniffer dogs that have specially trained to detect the ink on currency notes. In the effort of cracking down on tax evasion and cash smuggling, the Guardia di Finanza (Finance Police) works with highly trained dogs in outposts along its borders with Switzerland and France, and in international airports such as Rome Fiumicino and Milano Malpensa.<br />
<br />
In Italy, the law allows to travel with up to 10,000 euros in cash. Beyond that, one must declare to the authorities.<br />
<br />
In 2012, the Guardia di Finanza (Finance Police) of Fiumicino Airport have intercepted more than 6.9 million euros not declared. In 2013, until September 31st, they have intercepted more than 4 million euros.
