  • PALERMO, ITALY - 24 MAY 2022: "L'Albero dei tutti", a sculpture by Gregor Prugger is seen here in the church of Santa Maria dello Spasimo, as part of the Spazi Capaci (Capaci Spaces), a public art program designed to build trust in institutions and ensure mobsters never gain a foothold in the city again in Palermo, Italy, on May 24th 2022.<br />
<br />
<br />
Until recently, Palermo was infamous as the Mafia capital of the world. A turning point in the establishment of law and order was the murder of Giovanni Falcone, Italy’s a famous judge who pioneered new methods to combat the Mafia and paved the way to the organization’s demise. The Mafia had its revenge in 1992, detonating a powerful bomb under a road near Capaci in Palermo’s hinterland. The explosion killed Falcone, his wife and three escorts.<br />
<br />
To mark the 30th anniversary of the tragedy on Monday, Palermo unveiled seven art<br />
installations reminding people of the city’s dark Mafia years, and encouraging local residents to<br />
resist creeping mafia influence. Part of the Spazi Capaci (Capaci Spaces), a three-year public art<br />
series taking place mainly in the Sicilian capital, the works were inaugurated as dignitaries<br />
including Sergio Mattarella, the President of Italy, arrived in Palermo for a commemoration<br />
ceremony remembering Falcone. The project has been organized by the Fondazione Falcone, an anti-Mafia organization in Palermo, with funding provided by the Education Ministry and private donors. “We have always<br />
known that culture is one of the best weapons against the Mafia,” said Maria Falcone, the sister<br />
of the murdered judge and President of the Fondazione Falcone. “Repression alone is not<br />
enough to beat the Mafia,” she added. “You also need social and cultural work for that.”<br />
Capaci Spaces aims to inspire residents to take pride in their city by making Palermo more<br />
beautiful, Falcone said. Displaying art in public places could also show that the city belongs to<br />
everybody, not just the mafiosi, she said. “I

  • PALERMO, ITALY - 24 MAY 2022: "L'Albero dei tutti", a sculpture by Gregor Prugger is seen here in the church of Santa Maria dello Spasimo, as part of the Spazi Capaci (Capaci Spaces), a public art program designed to build trust in institutions and ensure mobsters never gain a foothold in the city again in Palermo, Italy, on May 24th 2022.<br />
<br />
<br />
Until recently, Palermo was infamous as the Mafia capital of the world. A turning point in the establishment of law and order was the murder of Giovanni Falcone, Italy’s a famous judge who pioneered new methods to combat the Mafia and paved the way to the organization’s demise. The Mafia had its revenge in 1992, detonating a powerful bomb under a road near Capaci in Palermo’s hinterland. The explosion killed Falcone, his wife and three escorts.<br />
<br />
To mark the 30th anniversary of the tragedy on Monday, Palermo unveiled seven art<br />
installations reminding people of the city’s dark Mafia years, and encouraging local residents to<br />
resist creeping mafia influence. Part of the Spazi Capaci (Capaci Spaces), a three-year public art<br />

  • 29 December, 2009. Bronxville, NY. Francesco Clark, 30, founder and president of Clark's Botanicals, is here in his home office talking to his grandmother from Bologna, Italy, who has been in Bronxville for the past year. Francesco Clark suffers a crippling cord injury due to a swimming pool diving accident on June 1, 2002. Clark's Botanicals was born out of the tragedy.<br />
With his central nervous system impaired, Francesco, who was then an assistant stylist at Harper's Bazar, lost the ability not only to walk, but even to sweat. This led to clogged pores and chronic breakouts. When neither over-the-counter nor prescriptive remedies worked, he turned to his father, Dr. Harold Clark, a physician trained in both traditional Western medicine and homeopathy.<br />
<br />
Together they developed botanically-based formulas that effectively rebalanced Francesco's skin, clearing it up entirely. Through word-of-mouth, other people discovered and fell in love with these products, and in 2005, Francesco began selling Clark's Botanicals on his website.<br />

"For the past 4 years I've been repeating that sooner or later some  tragedy would happen in the Chinese factories, where people work, eat, cook and sleep in poor conditions", Mr. Milone said. <br />
<br />
Seven Chinese workers died and two were badly injured after a fire swept through a Chinese-owned fast fashion outlet on Sunday.<br />
<br />
The city of Prato has the largest concentration of Chinese in Europe, as well as having the second largest population of Chinese people overall in Italy, after Milan. The Chinese who have come to Prato since the late 1980s have transformed the city and its centuries-old textile industry.

  • PALERMO, ITALY - 24 MAY 2022: "L'Albero dei tutti", a sculpture by Gregor Prugger is seen here in the church of Santa Maria dello Spasimo, as part of the Spazi Capaci (Capaci Spaces), a public art program designed to build trust in institutions and ensure mobsters never gain a foothold in the city again in Palermo, Italy, on May 24th 2022.<br />
<br />
<br />
Until recently, Palermo was infamous as the Mafia capital of the world. A turning point in the establishment of law and order was the murder of Giovanni Falcone, Italy’s a famous judge who pioneered new methods to combat the Mafia and paved the way to the organization’s demise. The Mafia had its revenge in 1992, detonating a powerful bomb under a road near Capaci in Palermo’s hinterland. The explosion killed Falcone, his wife and three escorts.<br />
<br />
To mark the 30th anniversary of the tragedy on Monday, Palermo unveiled seven art<br />
installations reminding people of the city’s dark Mafia years, and encouraging local residents to<br />
resist creeping mafia influence. Part of the Spazi Capaci (Capaci Spaces), a three-year public art<br />

With his central nervous system impaired, Francesco, who was then an assistant stylist at Harper's Bazar, lost the ability not only to walk, but even to sweat.

  • 29 December, 2009. Bronxville, NY. Francesco Clark, 30, founder and president of Clark's Botanicals, is here in his home office in Bronxville. Francesco Clark suffers a crippling cord injury due to a swimming pool diving accident on June 1, 2002. Clark's Botanicals was born out of the tragedy.<br />
With his central nervous system impaired, Francesco, who was then an assistant stylist at Harper's Bazar, lost the ability not only to walk, but even to sweat. This led to clogged pores and chronic breakouts. When neither over-the-counter nor prescriptive remedies worked, he turned to his father, Dr. Harold Clark, a physician trained in both traditional Western medicine and homeopathy.<br />
<br />
Together they developed botanically-based formulas that effectively rebalanced Francesco's skin, clearing it up entirely. Through word-of-mouth, other people discovered and fell in love with these products, and in 2005, Francesco began selling Clark's Botanicals on his website.<br />
