drinkingageinMilan200709It will be a different day for the Milanese guys below 16 years: from this night they can not buy or consume alcohol in the street or in pubs. And if they break this rule will be the parents to be punished with a fine of up to a maximum of 450 euros (rising to 500 if the fine is not paid within the first five days).

Gabriele Sandri
Da ieri sera credere nella giustizia è diventato più difficile. No, non è una frase retorica, è soltanto l’amara considerazione di chi pensava che, nel nostro Paese, non si potesse commettere un omicidio e cavarsela con una pena di sei anni di reclusione che, almeno per ora, non sarà nemmeno scontata in carcere.

Prison
In Italy a heat wave is coming and there are people who live in 4 or 6 in a room of 3 meters for 2 with no air conditioning , nor even fans: the prisoners. Italian prisons are dramatically overcrowded and on the verge of general revolt, but no media tell it. Effect of repressive laws adopted in recent years by the politics to deal with a "security" emergency which in reality does not exist.

Tarquinio e Lucrezia del Tintoretto
Un uomo è stato arrestato a Roma, presunto colpevole dei tre stupri degli ultimi mesi, con il sospetto che possa essere responsabile di altri 15 episodi tra violenze tentate e consumate, negli ultimi anni. Sarà un caso ma da quando l'informazione nazionale ha cominciato a interessarsene sono emersi tutti i collegamenti e si è capito che poteva trattarsi di un criminale seriale. Ma questo è avvenuto solo dopo l'ultimo episodio, perché fino al penultimo, non trattandosi di un violentatore straniero, pochi mezzi d'informazione ne avevano parlato e le stesse forze dell'ordine avevano comunicato la notizia con un certo ritardo.

Baby from an immigrants barge

Such a shameful law as the criminalization of illegal immigrants in the security decree has been approved and sold to the Italians just for a reason. Because for years the information has determined the equation between clandestine and criminal, and people just hearing the word think to cases of violent rapists and robbers, even if the illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes are really a small minority.

Federico Aldrovandi, killed by police in Italy
Federico Aldrovandi had 18 years in September 2005. He was returning home at dawn, after an evening with friends. Four policemen, three men and a woman, stopped him and Federico died. Today the ruling of the court of Ferrara has sentenced them to three years and six months in prison for "culpable excess" because their disproportionate use of force caused the death of the boy. During the attempted arrest the officers beat Federico with truncheons up to break them, stepped on him and ignored his requests for help.

Tarquinio and Lucrezia By Tiziano

Often we speak badly of crime journalism because it would be morbid: people are concerned with violent crime more than anything else to throw a glance on the dark depths of the human soul. But crime news also has their utility, when you need to warn potential victims about the presence of a criminal. The case of rapes in Rome for example was reported by the major italian media with considerable delay.

immigrants
The rejections keep going on the high seas but the media dont' speak about them, perhaps because they are ashamed. Yesterday the news, almost invisible even in the web, of 47 immigrants, including 20 women, "relieved" 70 miles south of Lampedusa and brought back to Libya. Other 89 were rejected on July 1. Among them 9 women and 3 children. But we'll not see them on television, because in this case Italians could understand that these are human beings like us and not criminals.

Hatred now runs free in this country, a fierce hatred, senseless and stupid, for the most part ignored by media and citizens. Yesterday, a Somali refugee was beaten in Bari by a bus driver who wanted to stop him from boarding the bus, without any apparent reason. A few days ago a 64 years old Italian citizen of Egyptian origin was savagely beaten by a whole Italian family: grandparents, parents and son, for daring to park on a piece of road of which the family claimed possession.

Italian train
A freight train has derailed in Viareggio, caused the explosion of a cargo of LPG, the collapse of 5 buildings near the station and a number of deaths still uncertain, at least 17, with 15 seriously injured. Trade unions talk about the tragedy as announced, and indeed are years now that they protest with Trenitalia for a host of reasons, from the steady decline in the personnel to the use of old trains and materials.
