Un libro: L’invenzione del cuoco
"Per molti secoli l'alimentazione degli italiani è stata segnata dalla scarsità e da una fortissima frammentazione territoriale. Il concetto stesso di 'cucina italiana' è, a ben vedere, un prodotto del Novecento. E lo è non solo per ragioni economiche e sociali, ma anche - e soprattutto - mediatiche. Alla fine delle mie ricerche posso dire che la cucina italiana è stata inventata dalla televisione a partire dagli anni Sessanta."

Russia has dispatched a submarine and other naval vessels to escort an oil tanker formerly known as Bella 1, now reflagged as Marinera under the Russian flag, which is being pursued by the U.S. Coast Guard in the Atlantic as part of efforts to enforce sanctions and block sanctioned oil shipments.
The tanker failed to dock in Venezuela and has become a flashpoint in U.S.-Russia tensions, with Russia condemning U.S. pursuit and asserting its protection of the vessel under its registration.
