Chinese archaeologists announced that they have found a great third-century tomb that may be that of the general Cao Cao. The discovery and 'took place in Henan province, in the village of Xigaoxue near the ancient city' of ayang. The tomb, says the China Central Television, contains the remains of a man about 60 years (corresponding to the age 'of the death of Machiavellian political) and two women. An inscription in the tomb refers to him. Cao Cao (曹操) (155-220) was the last prime minister of the Han Dynasty, more specifically the Eastern Han and Later Han. The period of unrest that marked the end of the dynasty, appropriated the domain of northern China. Thus became one of the most important figures of the Three Kingdoms period and known by the posthumous name of Emperor Wu of Wei. In fact, although Cao Cao place the foundations necessary for the founding of the dynasty, was his son Cao Pi 曹丕 (187-226) to accept the abdication of the last emperor of the Han dynasty, and founded the Wei dynasty, therefore, better known as Cao曹魏 Wei (220-264). During his reign, in 215 d.C. was officially recognized Taoist Church of the Celestial Masters (Tianshi 天师). He was known as a writer and as strategist. He then became the hero of numerous literary works.
The most famous mystery about the mutilation of art history may finally be solved: according to one scholar, to push Vincent Van Gogh cut off his ear was to learn that his brother Theo, from which the artist depended financially and psychologically, was to marry. This suggestion by Martin Bailey, author of a book on Van Gogh and the editor of two exhibitions of his work, which will treat the next issue of The Art Newspaper, early today by the Sunday Times. The theory on a Van Gogh overwhelmed by the fear that his brother, took the new marital commitments, would not have more affordable, was produced by Bailey after a thorough investigation into a letter that contained in a master of Sunflowers painting completed shortly after he cut his ear. According to Bailey, the letter was written by the same Theo from Paris in December 1888 and contained news of her engagement, which would have a winner already deeply troubled psychologically disturbed and would have led, shortly before Christmas 1888, the famous gesture of self-harm, the reasons for which hitherto had remained shrouded in mystery. "Vincent was afraid of losing the psychological and financial support of his brother," Bailey writes in The Art Newspaper in January. For years, cut off the ear of the Dutch genius has been at the heart of most explanations disparate.Qualcuno blamed his folly, someone explained the madness of Van Gogh with lead content in the colors, others have cited the end of his friendship with Paul Gauguin, to the point that scholars of the University of Hamburg have claimed that it was the same Gauguin, with whom Van Gogh shared a house in Arles, to cut off his ear during a fight for a prostitute named Rachel. This explanation, however, was rejected by both the Go Gogh Museum in Amsterdam from the same Bailey. Of his mental instability, however, Van Gogh gave ample proof when, 19 months after he cut off his ear, he shot himself in the chest and died after two days of agony. The letter at the heart of the theory of Bailey would be the same that appears in the painting "Still Life: Table with onions", painted by Van Gogh in January 1889, barely a month after being wounded, and that will be on display in the exhibition at the Royal Academy in London opening next month

Era l'anno 1995, anno in cui la Bandai Visual inseriva nel proprio catalogo un nuovo lungometraggio d'animazione: Ghost in the Shell. L'anime in questione era, certo, la trasposizione animata del manga di Masamune Shirow (1991), ma non una normale trasposizione. Infatti tra i crediti possiamo notare nomi come Mamoru Oshii (anche regista di Patlabor 1 e 2 (1989/1993)); Takashi Watabe che ha curato gli splendidi sfondi per quest'anime e il character design di Hiroyuki Okiura. La storia è ambientata in un futuro prossimo dove umani e cyborg convivono pacificamente e gli innesti cybernetici sono ormai cosa frequente nei corpi degli individui, dove soltanto lo spirito umano vi risiede e dove rappresenta gli ultimi residui di umanità. Il cyber-agente Motoko Kusanagi, nella caccia di tutti i giorni, si imbatte in un criminale chiamato "IL Signore dei Pupazzi" che ha la capacità di intromettersi nei pensieri delle proprie vittime. Le ricerche porteranno Kusanagi attraverso intrighi politici e corruzione, e, in seguito, a riflessioni filosofiche sulla sua vita e sul suo destino. La storia, che prende spunto dal manga ma si sviluppa per vie proprie, è appassionante e fantastica: un lungometraggio d'animazione lontano da ogni classificazione. La realizzazione è impeccabile; tra character design, sfondi e computer grafica (atta a illustrare il mondo cybernetico in cui si svolge la storia) assistiamo ad un prodigio degno di pochissimi confronti. Le atmosfere oniriche sono alternate ai momenti d'azione e il tutto è incorniciato da una fotografia stupenda, il che crea un prodotto unico, consigliato a tutti gli adulti. A chi non conosce le filosofie giapponesi in relazione alle produzioni animate questo è il primo e grande passo verso un mondo tecnicamente a parte. Le eroine di Shirow quì risplendono in tutto il loro essere, infatti il character design è molto valido. Il disegno è realizzato con una pulizia impressionante e anche le animazioni non sono da meno. Lo script di Kazunori Ito è ben bilanciato e porta lo spettatore, tra riflessioni ed azione, fino al bandolo della matassa cui la storia fa perno. Degna di mensione la stupenda colonna sonora che accompagna il lungometraggio e, in particolare, i bellissimi temi di apertura e chiusura oltre al brano "One Minute Warning" dei Passengers (ovvero l’album sperimentale degli u2 qui accompagnati da Brian Eno ). "Ghost in the Shell" è il primo anime ad essere uscito nelle sale contemporaneamente in Giappone, in Inghilterra e negli States. Il film è arrivato in Italia nel 1995, dopo la presentazione mondiale che la Bandai Visual e la Manga Entertainment hanno intrapreso, ed ha avuto l'onore di essere presentato alla Mostra del Cinema di Venezia (il primo anime in assoluto nella storia del festival lagunare), oltre che ad una grande quantità di premi in giro per il mondo, nei vari festival in cui è stato presentato. Una nuova edizione in DVD è edita dalla Panini Video .

The year was 1995, when Bandai Visual inserted in its catalog a new animated feature: Ghost in the Shell. The souls in question was, of course, the transposition of the manga by Masamune Shirow animated (1991), but not a normal transposition. In fact, among the credits we see names like Mamoru Oshii (also director of Patlabor 1 and 2 (1989/1993)); Takashi Watabe who oversaw the beautiful backgrounds for this soul and character designs by Hiroyuki Okiura. The story is set in a near future where cyborgs and humans coexist peacefully and grafts Cybernetica what are now common in the bodies of individuals, where only the human spirit resides there and where is the last remnants of humanity. The cyber-agent Motoko Kusanagi, hunting every day, he runs into a criminal called "The Puppet Master" who has the ability to intrude into the thoughts of its victims. Research leads Kusanagi through political intrigue and corruption, and, later, to philosophical reflections on his life and his destiny. The story is inspired from the manga but it develops its own way, is exciting and wonderful: an animated feature away from each classification. The construction is impeccable, including character design, backgrounds and computer graphics (which would explain the Cybernetica world where the story takes place) are witnessing a miracle worthy of a few comparisons. The dreamlike atmospheres are alternated with moments of action and the whole is framed by a beautiful photograph, which creates a unique product, recommended for all adults. Who does not know the philosophies in relation to the Japanese animated productions and this is the first major step towards a world apart technically. Heroines of Shirow here glorying in their being, in fact, the character design is very good. The design is made with a clean impressive and the animations are not even less. Script Kazunori Ito is well balanced and makes the viewer, between reflection and action, to disentangle the skein which history pivots. Worthy of Mention the wonderful soundtrack that accompanies the film and, in particular the beautiful themes in addition to opening and closing track "One Minute Warning" by Passengers (U2 or the experimental album here accompanied by Brian Eno). "Ghost in the Shell" is the first anime to be released simultaneously in theaters in Japan, England and the States. The film arrived in Italy in 1995, after the world, Bandai Visual and Manga Entertainment have begun, and had the honor of being presented at the Venice Film Festival (the first anime ever in the history of the festival lagoon ) as well as a lot of awards around the world, in various festivals in which it was submitted. A new DVD edition is published by Panini Video.

It was October 19, 2005, when the mayor of Rome inaugurated the first roads of the district Torrino-Mezzocammino.

On 20 November 2009, reflecting a project still growing and evolving urban area, which is defining itself as an identity and gaining more and more peculiar, what is now known as the "Neighborhood of the Comic Strip" is enriched Piazza Andrea Pazienza. Not that the place was not already named, since the beginning of the project, one of the most brilliant and influential authors of our national landscape ... Now, however, the Square has acquired its final appearance and absolutely original, being able to produce, on the walls that surround some large mosaic panels, porcelain tile, depicting many of the most famous comic characters in our tradition.

Today I happy with my dearest friend and depth on a Marvel character, true erotic dream of many readers, even if they do not say never! Tigra, whose real name is Greer Grant Nelson, is a fictional character, created by Tony Isabella (text) and Don Perlin (artist) in 1974, published by Marvel Comics. The character made his entrance in the Marvel Universe as Donna Gatto (The Cat), The Cat sull'Alba No 1 (November 1972) written by Linda Fite and Roy Thomas and illustrated by Marie Severin. Born in Chicago, Greer Nelson was the assistant of Dr. Mound, a member of the secret race known as the cat population, and after some experimental treatments, Greer became the heroine known as Cat Woman. But one day he was hit by an agent of Hydra with deadly radiation. To save, Dr Mound and the cat population transformed heroin Tigra, with superhuman strength, agility and senses sharp feline. Tigra joined the Avengers, a formation which deploys more than her five founding members of Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Wasp and Hornet, which Greer took place after they were expelled for indiscipline. Originally came to the fore for his physique than for its actual quality, in fact, having talked about Ghost Rider and his eyes have undergone penance, was paralyzed by fear and shock for a time gave up the life of a superhero. He returned later in the ranks of the Avengers West Coast, where he took more seriously its role of heroine and where he became a key element of training, until it began to become a "maneater" by binding simultaneously to both Simon Williams (Wonder Man) than to Hank Pym (ex Goliath and Hornet). This one's eternal desire for a companion was due to side effects of its mutation, which little by little they were putting in contrast to its two cores, making it more like an animal than a human being. In this state, in the shoes of Tiger became dominated every male (weakness exploited by the villain Graviton), and could only recover its self back, as Greer Nelson while losing his powers, making them useless for the team during the fighting. To reverse the effects of the curse, the Avengers asked the help of the cat population, after helping them against the demon known as Pandemonium. Following this adventure Greer healed and his two souls merged, leaving her permanently with the physical form of Tiger, but with the full self-control of their emotions.

A double disc that covers the hits of '72. The old and the new Claudio Baglioni meet. QPGA, outgoing Friday, November 27, has long been prepared and participate in lots of singers. A hymn to love. Baglioni sings with Mina, Franco Battiato, Elio e le Storie Tese, Fiorello, Antonello Venditti and even with the new singers Giusy Ferreri, Alessandra Amoroso and Naomi. QPGA contains 150 minutes of music with 70 big names. This is not a remake but a revised edition of songs of '72: 52 songs, of which 15 are revisiting the old songs, others are reinventions complete or partial texts or different music, still others are new. All songs united by the theme of first love, "what does not last a lifetime but the changes you forever," said the singer. It Baglioni start touring with Q.P.G.A. from 5 December in Milan. Will be at the Arcimboldi theater in Milan on 5, 6, 7 and 8. After Milan will be in Padua, Naples, Florence, Rome, Bologna and Genoa. A suite of music that follows, in the packaging of a modern work, the love story told in the cult album "This great little love." The great classics, plus unreleased tracks and pieces put back together, not included in the album of '72, they fill two hours of great music in a completely new version. Baglioni gives coherent form to his plan to sing "its" Italian folk music, that which filled the dreams of two generations: that of the '60s and one of the following decade, which was at war with the disappointments of hopes, often utopian of the first. A musical history that, to be told, needs the size live much longer than the disc. Baglioni's why he wanted to give precedence to the concerts, which lends itself much more to tell the story that the singer has in mind and that he needs - even through the solutions of a set design innovation - to jump time, interactions between great past and present and flashbacks. All dates so far have confirmed the success of Baglioni: excellent public reception.

At the base of choice, "the obvious merits raised by the premier and capable as anyone else to stand under the spotlight and stand out for its style of life worthy of the best rock star." Always, at the exit of the December issue, the monthly magazine crowns the person who has distinguished himself during the year for his character and temperament decidedly rock & roll. The cover for the prime minister was made by American designer Shepard Farey, famous throughout the world for its posters created for Barack Obama's candidacy for the White House. The editor of Rolling Stone, Carlo Antonelli, the motivation to choose in its editorial: "What counts for us, since every December to elect a" rock star of the year, "is that this year's unanimous vote took place , because of obvious merit due to a lifestyle for which the definition of rock & roll is even close. The Rod Stewart, the Brian Jones, Keith Richards of the golden days are PIVELLINA compared. The "Neverland" by Michael Jackson and a mansard compared to Villa Certosa, and so on. We are well out of the dispensing judgments from right or left. We're just observers note that what has happened and happens every day. The daily behavior of Silvio - continues Antonelli - his fury life, his inimitable style of life, they've got, especially this year, an incredible international popularity. For his part, Shepard Fairey following is from about Berlusconi: "Sometimes in my work I try to question authoritative figures, especially when they seem to be ambiguous reasons behind their actions. Everything I have heard and read about Berlusconi me leads to believe that he fits that description. " Second place on the podium in Rolling Stone Italy Barack Obama for obvious merits, while the third step is positioned Pope Ratzinger.

di e con Nada, Regia di Alessandro Fabrizi, Disegno luci di Andrea Violato
Musiche di Nada
IL MIO CUORE UMANO è un romanzo che racconta la storia di un’infanzia e di un’adolescenza nella Toscana tra gli anni ‘50 e ‘60, di un’educazione sentimentale indimenticabile e selvaggia alla vita, delle vicende di una famiglia toccata dall’amore e dalla follia. E’ la storia autobiografica e poetica di un mondo che non esiste più, dove l’essenza magica della natura, il tempo che passa, la pazzia, la passione, la morte, il diventare grandi sono un canto narrativo semplice e profondo che vibra di una forza misteriosa e struggente. Da questa storia nasce “MUSICAROMANZO“, storie, poesie, prosa e canzoni, incontri e scoperte per dar vita ad un romanzo in musica che racconta le visioni, i sogni, gli amori, le ferite e le paure nella ricerca di un equilibrio tra l’ingenuità del passato e la conquista del futuro. Nada nel corso del tempo attraversa quei sentimenti che formeranno il bagaglio personalissimo del suo fragile ma forte “cuore umano”, dove “si affanna nei sentimenti che si involano e fanno solchi dentro le teste” e incontra mandibole, scorpioni, temporali, colpi che diventano bombe poi cannoni e pillole di ogni colore. MUSICAROMANZO è musica con parole dette e recitate, parole che si cantano anche. E da “Il mio cuore umano” è stato realizzato anche un film di Costanza Quatriglio, prodotto da Angelo Barbagallo per Rai Tre, e destinato ad avere, oltre al naturale sbocco televisivo (è stato programmato il 20 agosto su Rai 3), una distribuzione in DVD. Il film è stato inoltre presentato in anteprima e con grande successo al Festival Internazionale di Locarno l’11 agosto.
MUSICAROMANZO, inspired and based on my human heart Nada Malanima,
by and with Nada, directed by Alessandro Fabrizi, lighting design by Andrea Violated, Music by Nada
MY HUMAN HEART is a novel that tells the story of a childhood and adolescence in Tuscany between the '50s and '60s, sentimental education of unforgettable wild life, the vicissitudes of a family touched by ' love and madness. E 'autobiographical and poetic story of a world that no longer exists, where the magical essence of nature, time passing, madness, passion, death, growing up is a simple and profound narrative song that resonates with a mysterious force and poignant. From this history is born "MUSICAROMANZO, stories, poems, prose and songs, meetings and findings to create a novel that chronicles the music, visions, dreams, loves, hurts and fears in search of a balance between 'naivety of the past and the conquest of the future. Nada over time through those feelings will be the personal baggage of its fragile but strong "human heart", where "labors in the feelings that are involved and grooves inside the heads and jaws meet, scorpions, storms, strikes that become guns and bombs, then pills of every color. MUSICAROMANZO is music with words spoken and recited, words that are sung too. And "My human heart" has been made into a film of Constance Quatriglio, produced by Angelo Barbagallo for Rai Tre, and intended to have, besides the natural market television (it was scheduled on August 20 Rai 3), a distribution DVD. The film was also previewed with great success at the Locarno International Film Festival on 11 August.
Nello spettacolo vengono eseguite le canzoni :
SENZA UN PERCHE' (Nada)
PIOGGIA D'ESTATE (Nada)
BOLERO (Nada)
PIANTAGIONI DI OSSA (Nada – inedito)
TUTTO A POSTO (Nada)

Personaggi
Ivan Isaak
È un prete interpellato da una branca della Chiesa per condurre un'indagine sulla Domus Forata, in cui è rinchiuso il demone Temosare. Nel corso dell'indagine aprirà la "Domus Forata" liberando così dalla prigionia Temosare e Vessiel i due eterni rivali. Quando ha inizio il fumetto, Ivan ha già venduto parte della sua anima a Vessiel, diventando una creatura tenuta in vita (sebbene già morta) dalla sola rabbia. È da sempre innamorato della bellissima Jenna, che non ha potuto avere.
Temosare
Temosare è un angelo decaduto appartenente alla schiera dei cherubini. Geloso delle attenzioni che Dio rivolgeva alle sue nuove creature, gli uomini, Temosare decide di ribellarsi dichiarando così guerra al proprio creatore. Durante il periodo delle Crociate si impossessa del corpo del Duca Bogus de Guillon (in America Vascar de Guillon) che utilizza come mezzo per corrompere e dissacrare la fede in Dio del genere umano.
Vessiel Gavar
Personalità altissima dell'Inquisizione della Chiesa Cattolica, Vessiel Gavar viene indotto da Temosare ad abbandonare la sua fede. Il demone, preso possesso del duca de Guillon, si manifesta in sogno a Matteo (Matthew), il bambino che Vessiel ha cresciuto dandogli un'educazione molto religiosa. Sotto le mentite spoglie di Dio, Temosare chiede a Matteo di commettere un omicidio. Il bambino segue l'ordine di quello che crede essere il suo Dio. Quando lo scopre, Vessiel, tradito dalla sua stessa fede, strangola il piccolo; in seguito si rende conto di ciò che è successo e decide di combattere contro Temosare. L'esito della battaglia vedrà entrambi rinchiusi nella Domus Forata.
Jenna Isaak
Figlia naturale dell'uomo che ha allevato Ivan, di cui si è innamorata.
Ester
Capo di una banda di malviventi, Ester somiglia molto a Jenna e per questo motivo riesce a salvarsi pur assistendo alle gesta sanguinose di Ivan Isaak.
Edizioni italiane
La prima edizione italiana di Priest è del 2003, ad opera di Star Comics che la inserì nella collana Zero, nel tentativo di presentare il fumetto coreano al grande pubblico. La pubblicazione si alternava mensilmente con quella di Model di Lee So Young, ma entrambe furono interrotte al secondo volume. Nel 2006 l'editore Jpop, che esordiva dopo la scissione da Flashbook Edizioni, ha ripreso la pubblicazione di entrambe le opere in volumi pregiati. La versione Star Comics presentava alcune differenze nella traduzione e nell'adattamento. Alcuni nomi erano stati semplicemente trascritti in modo diverso, cosa abbastanza normale (quello che nella versione Jpop si chiama Vessiel, per esempio, si chiamava Bethiel, mentre si chiama Betheal nell'edizione Tokyopop). Ma la differenza sostanziale era nell'adattamento del culto di Temosare, diventato culto della Santa Madre nel tentativo di fare una traduzione di quello che nelle altre versioni è stato interpretato semplicemente come il nome del demone.

Zagor was not new to the world of rock, back in 1990 was the "host" of "Cool Dog In The Swamp" song of Luciano Ligabue, LIGABUE the album of 1990. Now an album of songs entirely dedicated to the Spirit with the ax, which bears the title "king of Zagor Darkwood. To compose and play we thought the songwriter, Graziano Romani, "rocker" of Emilia origins who, through his records and concerts, offers a "sound" inspiring the world, with echoes ranging from ballads to up to Willy Nelson songs Bruce Springsteen. Romans crush the boxes away from music in 1981, initially with the group "Rocking Chairs" and then propose a decade later as a solo artist, composing more than three hundred songs and boasting a discography of over a dozen albums, in addition to many concerts. Has always been a lover of comics and especially the Spirit with an ax, a passion that took him, accompanied by Moreno Burattini, writing a book dedicated to the Prince of Illustrators zagoriani "Ferri Gallienus, a life with Zagor" published by Coniglio Editore. The same publisher that today proposes Rabbit "Zagor king of Darkwood" in three different editions: one available at newsstands (with attached special monographic magazine full of unpublished images), one budget for libraries (with a box that contains the CD and a booklet ) and a limited edition, double vinyl, available directly on the site www.coniglioeditore.it. The initiative to record an LP dedicated to Zagora and his world began to materialize in May 2008, when Romania has recorded a song entitled "Darkwood", dedicated to fans of the hero of the great forest, which now is well known This stunning "hymn". On the wave of enthusiasm, the artist then began to write and record more songs inspired by the protagonist, the supporting actors, the themes and suggestions of the comic book series, and were added to the first song "The Song of Wandering Fitzy" "Clear Water Home," "The Minstrel Boy," "Molly Malone", "Cico Felipe Cayetano Lopez Martinez y Gonzales Y," "The Willow Tree", "Darkwood Rag," "On Top Of Old Smoky," "Guitar Jim, "" The Tin Star "," Bring On The Bad Guys "," Wilding's Dream "and the" title track "King Of Zagor Darkwood. A true "concept album", therefore, with eleven original compositions and four "traditional" folk-Irish and North American, however, linked to the world of Zagor. If you want to know more about Graziano Romani and keep you updated on concerts and the "showcase" where you can listen live to the compositions of the "rocker", visit his personal website www.grazianoromani.it!
