Luin aina Imagen kannesta kanteen kirjastossa. Sitten lehti lopetettiin, ja sen sisältö on nyt jossain Apu360-veppiportaalissa, jota minulla ei ole aikomusta tilata. Silloin tällöin joku vinkkaa hyvän jutun, ja samalla pitää klikata auki saman kirjoittajan kaikki vapaasti luettavat jutut puolen vuoden ajalta. Tulee paljon lukemista kerralla.

Samuli Knuuti, #muuten, lienee Suomen paras poppikirjoittaja näinä aikoina.

Palermo, le carceri di Palazzo Steri Chiaramonte e il tribunale dell'inquisizione

Stasera su Rai Storia alle 20.30 si parlerà del Carcere di Palazzo Steri, utilizzato dall’inizio del ‘600 alla fine del ‘700 dall’inquisizione spagnola per imprigionare tutti i cittadini scomodi per la vita sociale, politica e soprattutto religiosa, dell’antica città di Palermo.

I graffiti riscoperti, durante il restauro del Palazzo, ci comunicano pensieri e stati d’animo struggenti, che arrivano a noi in modo diretto, opere realizzate nel buio per rimanere nel buio, che ci raccontano il dramma della prigionia più infame, perché spesso ingiusta.

Ne ho parlato sul mio blog:

🔴 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 **Manifest Destiny**

As a teenager many decades ago I studied 19th century American history at school. My teacher was careful to instil in his students an appreciation of how important the cultural belief of 'manifest destiny' was to American expansion westwards during that century. Little did I know at the time that decades later in 2025 a new wave of American expansion, however this time northwards, would try to envelop Canada and Greenland in a new 'manifest destiny'.
