Gustando il Borgo a Gioiosa Ionica - Il Grande Lebuski - 18 agosto 2016
Il Grande Lebuski, personaggio eccentrico e stravagante, con le sue abilità clownesche, mescolate a tecniche circensi (giocoleria, equilibrismo, acrobatica) e al cabaret, cattura costantemente il pubblico facendolo entrare nel suo mondo bizzarro.
Un cerchio di gente in cui la risata diventa presto contagiosa grazie ad un susseguirsi di gags e difficoltà.
La ricerca dell’equilibrio è la costante di tutto lo spettacolo, dalle verticali sopra alti bauli, al monociclo, alla giraffa alta 2 metri; ma la vera protagonista dello spettacolo è Graziellina, una minibici alta 30 cm, con la quale affronterà le salite più impervie.
Equilibri su alti equilibri lasciano il pubblico affascinato nel vedere Il Grande Lebuski giocolare con clave e torce sulla giraffa tenendo un oggetto in equilibrio sul naso.
Un’elevata e coinvolgente comicità che, parodiando l’uomo ed i suoi comportamenti, ci mostra la verità e l’aspetto clownesco che c’è in ognuno di noi.
Traveling to Grotteria, Italy with your dog
Grotteria
We went to Grotteria because my Great Grandparents are from there and we wanted to check it out. It ended up being the most amazing experience. We stayed in the only bed and breakfast in town, which has a TON of space and you have your own entrance so really it’s like having your own 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in pretty much a restored castle. The owners of the B&B are super awesome and extremely knowledgeable! The rooms have an amazing view and you can see all the way to the ocean! There is one restaurant in town and they specialize in mushrooms (second best food next to Osteria da Fortunata! Who knew fungi could be that wonderful!!) Let me tell you will never have mushrooms like this in your life. This is one of the coolest most unique and authentic restaurants we ate at while in Italy. The town is off the beaten path but if you want the real old world Italian experience this is the place to go!!!! And you will meet the nicest, most hospitable B&B owners that will go out of their way to welcome you into their castle, town and country.
Grotteria B&B: Palazzo Lupis
After our stay in Grotteria we drove our car onto a ferry in Villa San Giovanni which took us to Messina, Sicily. We then drove to Marina di Ragusa in the southern portion of Sicily. I would highly recommend getting a map and double-checking your route. Our GPS ended up taking us a very round about way to get to Marina di Ragusa. We think it might have added about an extra hour to our drive UGH!For more information on how to travel to Italy with your dog go to:

Mafia from Calabria filmed in Godfather-style meeting in Switzerland
Police have arrested 18 members of a secret ‘Ndrangheta mafia cell operating in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, after their meeting was filmed in secret
Into the dimly-lit room, with its heavy wood panelling and outdated furnishings, strides a man, who shakes hands silently with the others, one by one.
He sits down among the dozen or so others, all positioned around a long table. And then he starts speaking – about honour, dignity, tradition and respect. And business – cocaine, extortion, trafficking.
It is a scene which could be straight out of the 1970s film The Godfather. But these men are not acting, and this is not Hollywood, but a small town in Switzerland.
The men, alleged leaders of the Calabrian ’Ndrangheta, were secretly filmed by Italian and Swiss police in the tiny town of Frauenfeld, 30 miles north of Zurich, during a two-year investigation that led to the arrest of 18 people on Friday.
The video has given investigators a rare and valuable insight into the private rituals of the Calabrian Mafia and the often discreet expansion of its international operations.
The presumed boss, Antonio Nesci, nicknamed “Cucchiaruni” – Calabrian dialect for the “Swiss mountain” – is heard telling his colleagues the local cell has been active in the Frauenfeld for 40 years, before telling the younger members there is room for plenty of growth.
“You can work in everything – extortion, cocaine, heroin,” he said.
“There’s everything. 10 kilos, 20 kilos a day, I will bring it to you personally but I don’t want to know any more about it.”
In a chilling reminder of the Mafia’s uncompromising violence, the boss says decisions about “murders and extortion” must be referred to those who are specifically designated to carry out those tasks.
Nesci says the organisation has been established in the Swiss town since the 1970s and urges the younger ones to respect the “clean” reputation that the Mafia, sometimes referred to as the “Honoured Society”, has built in Frauenfeld, a town of only 23,000 inhabitants.
“For those who know us well, (we are) clean, clean, clean, it took us years to build this reputation,” he says.
“We made our reputation. You young ones (should) do it so that the 'society’ is respected. I repeat again, the 'society’ of Frauenfeld is one of honour, wisdom and dignity.”
Just days after a European Union-backed study claimed Italy’s major mafia groups were expanding in Aberdeen and London, police arrested 16 people in Switzerland and two in Italy, including Nesci, after the lengthy joint investigation named Operation Helvetia, which began in January 2012.
Italian anti-mafia prosecutors argue that it took the brutal execution of six Italians in a mafia feud outside a restaurant in the city of Duisburg in 2007 for German law enforcement authorities to realise the expansion of the Calabrian ’Ndrangeta, and they believe more should be done to stop its spread in Europe.
In the video viewers may also be surprised to see the signs of the Mafia’s strict standards of loyalty.
Nesci asks those gathered if all are “compliant” to the organisation, to which they respond they are.
He refers to the ’Ndrangheta’s regulations dating back to 1830 and also draws inspiration from three knights as he blesses the room and the members, saying: “As they were baptised with irons and chains, with irons and chains I baptise you.”
According to police the Swiss cell was linked to two clans based in the “toe” of Italy: the Fabrizia clan of Vibo Valentia, and the Mazzaferro clan from the town of Marina di Gioiosa Ionica. The Swiss cell, like the two clans, was directly answerable to the organisation’s ruling hierarchy in Calabria.
Police allege Nesci reported to the head of the Fabrizia clan, Giuseppe Antonio Primerano, and had obtained his authorisation to extend the clan’s operations in Singen in southern Germany.
Primerano - convicted to 13 years in prison in July 2013 - was also said to be directly linked to Domenico Oppedisano, the 83-year-old head of the Calabrian mafia.

Operation Apegreen — a new Mafia probe hits Commisso 'Ndrangheta clan
In a pre-dawn raid on Jan. 22, 2016, Italian police arrested 14 suspected members of the powerful Commisso clan of the ’Ndrangheta, the Mafia of Calabria, for international drug trafficking.
The raids were codenamed “Operazione Apegreen Drug,” with the Italian authorities combining the English word Drug with the name of the laundromat that the clan boss, Giuseppe Commisso, used as his headquarters, where many of the wiretaps were recorded that led to 300 arrests in 2010 plus the additional 14 in this operation.
The 2010 probe, “Operazione Crimini” revealed the close ties between the ’Ndrangheta in Italy and the ’Ndrangheta in Canada, with many of the men named in arrested warrants having been born in Canada, residing in Canada or previously living in Canada.
The Polizia di Stato said investigators continued to analyze the wiretaps and to reconstruct the role in the drug trade of the Commisso clan of Siderno, leading to additional arrests. Including the re-arrest in prison of Giuseppe Commisso on new charges.
Also arrested were members of the Pesce clan of Rosarno and the Ursino clan of Gioiosa Ionica.
Charges include conspiracy to traffic in drugs, possession and sale of cocaine, hashish and marijuana, as well as counterfeit money.
Those charged are:
- COMMISSO Giuseppe, alias “U mastro”, born in Siderno
- PEZZANO Cosimo, born in Siderno
- SPATARO Claudio, born in Messina
- FAZARI Luigi, born in Taurianova
- CORREALE Michele, alias U Zorro, born in Siderno
- GALLUZZO Giovanni, born in San Giovanni di Gerace
- ARENA Domenico, born in Rosario
- GENISE Vincenzo, born in Siderno
- DEMASI Rocco, born in Gioiosa Jonica
- DEMASI Giuseppe, born in Locri
- MACRI’ Marco, born in Locri
- BUTTIGLIERI Salvatore, born in Gioiosa Jonica
- FUTIA Antonio, alias “u Ngilla”, born in Siderno
- CASTAGNA Gian Luca, born in Locri
Castagna is an officer in the Polizia di Stato who worked at a port and is accused of providing confidential information on containers arriving and leaving the port to the Commisso clan.

Places to see in ( Reggio Calabria - Italy ) Lungomare Falcomata
Places to see in ( Reggio Calabria - Italy ) Lungomare Falcomata
The Promenade Falcomatà or Promenade Matteotti is one of the most famous streets of Reggio Calabria . It is dedicated to the mayor Italo Falcomatà , protagonist and inspirer of the Primavera di Reggio. By far more extended than one kilometer (about 1.7 km from Piazza Indipendenza to Piazza Garibaldi ), the waterfront of the historic center of Reggio occupies the coastal area between the port and the fortino a Mare (the ancient Castelnuovo in near Punta Calamizzi ). It consists of the four waterfront Falcomatà , Matteotti seafront , Corso Vittorio Emanuele III and Viale Genoese Zerbi, but the whole area is generally identified as Via Marina.
The seafront of the city is rich in palm trees and extremely varied plant species. The avenue is adorned with Liberty style buildings (many dating back to the last reconstruction of the city) among which stand Palazzo Zani , Palazzo Spinelli and Villa Genoese Zerbi . It is also enriched by elements that indirectly trace the history of the city such as numerous commemorative monuments, a monumental fountain and some archaeological sites testifying to the Greek-Roman era: sections of the city walls of the Greek city and a Roman baths .
Between the sea and the promenade with the parapet and the liberty lamps , stands the arena of the Strait , a typically Greek style theater that hosts cultural events and entertainment especially during the summer months; on the pier of Porto Salvo in front of the arena stands the monument to Vittorio Emanuele III , who landed here touching the Italian soil for the first time as a king on July 31, 1900 .
The promenade of Reggio is erroneously called the most beautiful kilometer of Italy, perhaps also because of the mirage of the Fata Morgana , an interesting optical phenomenon visible only from the Calabrian coast, from which the myth originates. You can see the close images of Sicily reflected and from the sea. The sentence is attributed to Gabriele D'Annunzio , but the attribution is false. According to the historian Agazio Trombetta the quotation is false: D'Annunzio was never in Reggio and in the Biblioteca Dannunziana nothing appears on Reggio Calabria. Instead, it seems that during the radio broadcasting of the Giro d'Italia 1957 from Reggio, the well-known TV commentator of Rai Nando Martellinihe quoted this sentence attributing it to D'Annunzio, as he was told by some particularly enthusiastic citizens of Reggio: both Martellini and those who reported the sentence actually ignored the real truth
The main areas used for port docking in history were essentially two: the gulf of the ancient natural harbor close to the ancient promontory of Punta Calamizzi (sunk in 1562 due to an earthquake), and the current port that rises in a coastline area limited to the district of Santa Caterina .
