RAI Cultura - Marcello Mariani. Un Angelo tra le Macerie

di Rita Pacifici.
Una visione poetica, intensa e anarchica del mondo, una pittura capace di affondare nella materia per restituirne i segni del vissuto e conservarne le tracce drammatiche, cariche di umanità. Voleva “far parlare i muri della sua città” Marcello Mariani, nato nel 1938 a L’ Aquila e vissuto nella città abruzzese fino al 2017. Voleva realizzare opere che possedessero la stessa forza espressiva dei luoghi in cui era radicato e costruiva dipinti come palinsesti, sedimenti di voci, impronte corporee, memorie. Strati di pittura da cui affioravano “forme archetipe”, talvolta percepibili come “presenze angeliche portatrici di un vento di rinnovamento”.

Un dialogo con la vita e la realtà portato avanti attraverso ogni tipo di materiale, che riceve un nuovo impulso dopo il teremoto del 2009. Esperienza estrema, devastante, ma ribaltata dalla sapienza dell’artista in una fase creativa di particolare vigore.

Ad un anno dalla scomparsa, un’esposizione al Complesso del Vittoriano di Roma ripercorre quasi sessant’anni di carriera di Mariani, un lungo tempo durante il quale l'artista si è imposto in ambito internazionale per la costante riflessione sull'eredità della pittura informale, evoluta poi in un linguaggio libero da qualsiasi definizione precostituita. In mostra, anche una selezione dell’ampio reportage fotografico realizzato da Gianni Berengo Gardin nello studio dell’artista prima che venisse distrutto dal sisma, immagini che documentano l'importanza e la profondità del legame dell’artista con la propria terra.

Roma, Complesso del Vittoriano: Marcello Mariani. Il Tempo dell’angelo, 1956-2014, fino al 4 novembre 2018

Campane del Patrocinio di San Giuseppe - Torino - angelus festivo di Avvento

Chiesa del Patrocinio di San Giuseppe, via Baiardi 8, Torino (zona Lingotto): 6 campane in Do3 fuse da Roberto Mazzola di Valduggia nel 1928.
* * *
- angelus festivo di Avvento: carillon del canto Si accende una luce (registrato dal sottoscritto nella centralina) e plenum
- angelus serale nella novena di Natale (min. 2:49): carillon del canto In nocte placida (già presente nella centralina).

Il concerto del Patrocinio di San Giuseppe riveste notevole importanza all'interno del panorama campanario torinese. Fuso dalla fonderia di Roberto Mazzola vinse il primo premio all'Esposizione Nazionale di Torino del 1928 e fu insignito del Gran Diploma d'Onore. Venne poi collocato sul campanile del Patrocinio e inaugurato il 19 marzo dell'anno successivo, festa di San Giuseppe.

Purtroppo negli ultimi anni l'impostazione dei segni di queste campane è stata letteralmente trascurata e ridotta alla sola distesa della quarta campana (fa3) per tutti i segni, ad eccezione della messa domenicale delle 10.30 per cui erano programmate sia la sesta campana (la3), sia la quarta (fa3).

Recentemente, in accordo con il parroco, abbiamo modificato la programmazione che possiamo riassumere in questo modo:
- angelus feriale delle ore 12 e delle ore 19.30: distesa del mi3;
- messe feriali: distesa del sol3 e del la3;
- messe prefestive e festive: distesa delle quattro maggiori;
- angelus serale festivo e prefestivo: carillon dell'Ave di Lourdes;
- angelus festivo delle ore 12: distesa completa delle sei campane.
Nelle solennità le celebrazioni saranno annunciate dalla distesa completa a sei preceduta da un carillon mentre l'angelus delle ore 12 dalla suonata alla Romana preceduta da un carillon a tema.

Ringrazio vivamente don Daniele e don Massimiliano per la gentilissima accoglienza e la cortese disponibilità e vagale04 per la competente collaborazione!

You Bet Your Life: Secret Word - Car / Clock / Name

Julius Henry Groucho Marx (October 2, 1890 -- August 19, 1977) was an American comedian and film and television star. He is known as a master of quick wit and widely considered one of the best comedians of the modern era. His rapid-fire, often impromptu delivery of innuendo-laden patter earned him many admirers and imitators. He made 13 feature films with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, most notably as the host of the radio and television game show You Bet Your Life. His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, glasses, cigar, and a thick greasepaint mustache and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the world's most ubiquitous and recognizable novelty disguises, known as Groucho glasses, a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and mustache.

Groucho Marx was, and is, the most recognizable and well-known of the Marx Brothers. Groucho-like characters and references have appeared in popular culture both during and after his life, some aimed at audiences who may never have seen a Marx Brothers movie. Groucho's trademark eye glasses, nose, mustache, and cigar have become icons of comedy—glasses with fake noses and mustaches (referred to as Groucho glasses, nose-glasses, and other names) are sold by novelty and costume shops around the world.

Nat Perrin, close friend of Groucho Marx and writer of several Marx Brothers films, inspired John Astin's portrayal of Gomez Addams on the 1960s TV series The Addams Family with similarly thick mustache, eyebrows, sardonic remarks, backward logic, and ever-present cigar (pulled from his breast pocket already lit).

Alan Alda often vamped in the manner of Groucho on M*A*S*H. In one episode, Yankee Doodle Doctor, Hawkeye and Trapper put on a Marx Brothers act at the 4077, with Hawkeye playing Groucho and Trapper playing Harpo. In three other episodes, a character appeared who was named Captain Calvin Spalding (played by Loudon Wainwright III). Groucho's character in Animal Crackers was Captain Geoffrey T. Spaulding.

On many occasions, on the 1970s television sitcom All In The Family, Michael Stivic (Rob Reiner), would briefly imitate Groucho Marx and his mannerisms.

Two albums by British rock band Queen, A Night at the Opera (1975) and A Day at the Races (1976), are named after Marx Brothers films. In March 1977, Groucho invited Queen to visit him in his Los Angeles home; there they performed '39 a capella. A long-running ad campaign for Vlasic Pickles features an animated stork that imitates Groucho's mannerisms and voice. On the famous Hollywood Sign in California, one of the Os is dedicated to Groucho. Alice Cooper contributed over $27,000 to remodel the sign, in memory of his friend.

In 1982, Gabe Kaplan portrayed Marx in the film Groucho, in a one-man stage production. He also imitated Marx occasionally on his previous TV sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter.

Actor Frank Ferrante has performed as Groucho Marx on stage for more than two decades. He continues to tour under rights granted by the Marx family in a one-man show entitled An Evening With Groucho in theaters throughout the United States and Canada with piano accompanist Jim Furmston. In the late 1980s Ferrante starred as Groucho in the off-Broadway and London show Groucho: A Life in Revue penned by Groucho's son Arthur. Ferrante portrayed the comedian from age 15 to 85. The show was later filmed for PBS in 2001. Woody Allen's 1996 musical Everyone Says I Love You, in addition to being named for one of Groucho's signature songs, ends with a Groucho-themed New Year's Eve party in Paris, which some of the stars, including Allen and Goldie Hawn, attend in full Groucho costume. The highlight of the scene is an ensemble song-and-dance performance of Hooray for Captain Spaulding—done entirely in French.

In the last of the Tintin comics, Tintin and the Picaros, a balloon shaped like the face of Groucho could be seen in the Annual Carnival.

In the Italian horror comic Dylan Dog, the protagonist's sidekick is a Groucho impersonator whose character became his permanent personality.

The BBC remade the radio sitcom Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel, with contemporary actors playing the parts of the original cast. The series was repeated on digital radio station BBC7. Scottish playwright Louise Oliver wrote a play named Waiting For Groucho about Chico and Harpo waiting for Groucho to turn up for the filming of their last project together. This was performed by Glasgow theatre company Rhymes with Purple Productions at the Edinburgh Fringe and in Glasgow and Hamilton in 2007-08. Groucho was played by Scottish actor Frodo McDaniel.

The Great Gildersleeve: Disappearing Christmas Gifts / Economy This Christmas / Family Christmas

Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees' Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law's estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor.

In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children, Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first, administering a girdle manufacturing company (If you want a better corset, of course, it's a Gildersleeve) and then for the bulk of the show's run, serving as Summerfield's water commissioner, between time with the ladies and nights with the boys. The Great Gildersleeve may have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's now slightly understated pomposity.

Many of the original episodes were co-written by John Whedon, father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of Deadwood scripter Zack Whedon and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).

The key to the show was Peary, whose booming voice and facility with moans, groans, laughs, shudders and inflection was as close to body language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few cartoons.

Calling All Cars: Highlights of 1934 / San Quentin Prison Break / Dr. Nitro

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the police department of the city of Los Angeles, California.

The LAPD has been copiously fictionalized in numerous movies, novels and television shows throughout its history. The department has also been associated with a number of controversies, mainly concerned with racial animosity, police brutality and police corruption.

radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.

The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.

Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.

Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.

The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.
