Russia, from former state atheist to champion of Christianity
Among the most beautiful stories told by post-war Italian cinema there is without a doubt the one whose protagonists are a Russian pope and Don Camillo, in Comencini's film “Il Compagno Don Camillo” based on Guareschi's books.
In the movie, the priest from Romagna convinces the fearful pope to confess the sick and elderly mother of the communist mayor of the Soviet country, then teaching him to fight with him as in the Brescello tradition. To this in some ways comical part of the film, one must think of it by connecting it to the famous words of the DC MP La Pira, which,after an invitation to speak before the Russian Supreme Soviet, had the opportunity, which was rare for the time, to observe the Russian company.
His spokesperson, and journalist, Vittorio Citterich, he pointed out how inside the residues, and often clandestine, russian dog, there were only old ladies with candles in their hands, and La Pira, he replied by stating “If these who seem to you are just old ladies with candles in their hands, in a difficult and hostile historical context like this, did not keep the flame of the wedding ring in Christ, where do you believe future Russian generations would find the fire of the Christian fire that will inevitably come?”.

A few days ago, Heather Parisi asked why when she returns to Italy, he finds her increasingly hostile "and increasingly affected by an encirclement syndrome". I failed to point out that American society is also polarized like never before in history; every Trump tweet makes the Democratic electorate drool with anger and scream in indignation; those who voted for "The Donald" can't stand TV "liberal”, in which they angrily see only a mass of deliberate lies. Quite a few political scientists are beginning to fear that such social enmity has never been seen before, if not before the Civil War. Simply – and what is terrible – half of America does not recognize the legittimità of the current president.
Veneto has been overwhelmed by several judicial investigations, which led to the discovery of a deep-rooted mafia system in the economic fabric of the region. A presence, that of Cosa Nostra, Camorra and 'Ndrangheta are now widespread throughout Italy and Europe. But nothing happens by chance. The mafias send their young people to study the territories in which to expand their dominion. One of the first ndrangheta turncoats tells it, Louis Bonaventure, at the microphone of Alfredo Di Giovampaolo. Born into a mafia family, he was sent to Veneto at a very young age to discover the weak points of the local economic fabric, with the aim of infiltrating the entrepreneurial system and reinvesting huge capital. Today Bonaventura left the justice collaborators protection program, after having denounced the limits of the state protection system. This is why he no longer shows his face uncovered and wanted to meet us in a secret location.
Pretoria, 18 Mar – Mandela's dream of a "rainbow nation" is turning into a nightmare even in the eyes of the most incurable optimists. Impoverished, with a crime rate among the highest in the world and with increasingly strong ethnic tensions, South Africa is approaching next year's elections 8 May amidst a thousand uncertainties. Among the hot topics of the electoral campaign there is undoubtedly that of land redistribution, or to be more precise the question 
In Agrigento the Senegalese community denounces drug dealers and degradation in their neighborhood: “We have been here for thirty years and we can no longer live like this, security is needed”
It's difficult to make long-term assumptions but it seems sensible, not to mention safe, than in the very near future, a couple and a half billion Africans will watch 450 millions of Europeans on the other side of the Mediterranean. Mass immigration, for now, it found an embankment precisely in the established distances from the sea and the Sahara desert. If the territory between Africa and Europe had no solution of continuity, we would already be dealing with an unprecedented emergency in the history of our continent.
Costs and process times could be reduced by using Skype. A judge does it and tells it to Affari. They are a great success. But no one wants to do them.
