    GENOVA (Genoa)
    Fabrizio De André - Creuza de ma (Live)

     
     
     
    Ricchi e Poveri - Ma se ghe penso
     
    Is a traditional song in the Genoese dialect (1925 - words and music: Mario Cappello, with Attilio Margutti)
    The song tells the story of a Genoese who emigrated to Latin America in search of fortune, a very common social event between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, who, finding himself thinking about the beauty of his hometown, overwhelmed by nostalgia, decides to return, against his son's wishes.
    This version is from ligurian group Ricchi e Poveri

    Total 0 0 0 0 0 0 Italia '80 was the first UEFA (European) tournament to present a mascot, while they were already used for the World Cup and Olympics.

    The puppet created by Carlo Collodi, Pinocchio, was chosen and was represented with a balloon under his arm, a tricolor nose and a sailor's cap on his head with the writing Europa 80.

    The mascot was not initially given an official name because it was believed that the rights to Pinocchio belonged to Disney. When the Collodi Foundation confirmed that the copyright on the book had expired 50 years ago, the organizing committee renamed the official mascot.

    I thought about starting a new topic to discuss the matter, as in LGBTQ+ athletes, or politics towards it.
     
    Hopefully it will be a topic with a lot of positive news being shared etc, but I thought about it due to a crime commited on a sports arena.

    Anderson Melo, a Beach Volleyball player who recieved a lot of homophobic chants and hate from the crowds (and possibly from the rival pair, could not really understand 100% from the video). The referee was totally inept and let this happened.
     
    In Brazil, homophobia is a crime, so Anderson started a Police Report on that.

     In this space we present some cities inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List
     
     
    PISA

     
    Pisa is a city and comune in Tuscany, straddling the Arno just before it empties into the Ligurian Sea.
    Although Pisa is known worldwide for its leaning tower, the city contains more than twenty other historic churches, several medieval palaces, and bridges across the Arno. Much of the city's architecture was financed from its history as one of the Italian maritime republics.
    The city is also home to the University of Pisa, which has a history going back to the 12th century, the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, founded by Napoleon in 1810, and hosts the largest headquarters of the National Research Council (CNR).
     
    The Piazza del Duomo, also known as the square of miracles, is the most important artistic and tourist center of Pisa.
    Listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1987, you can admire some masterpieces of European Romanesque architecture, that is, the monuments that form the center of the city's religious life: the cathedral, the baptistery, the cemetery and the bell tower.
     

     
    The Cathedral: the heart of the complex is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the medieval cathedral. It is a five-aisled church with a three-aisled transept. The building, like the bell tower, has sunk perceptibly into the ground, and some damage to the construction is clearly visible. The Pisan Romanesque style was created starting from this church and then exported to the rest of Tuscany, but also to Corsica and Sardinia, once under the control of the Republic of Pisa.
    The bell tower of Santa Maria: known as "The Leaning Tower" or "The Tower of Pisa", is the bell tower of the Duomo. Below it the ground gave way slightly, causing it to tilt a few degrees. The inclination continued for many years, until it stopped after the restoration work concluded in the early 21st century. Due to construction difficulties, its construction lasted over two centuries (in three different phases of work) starting from the end of the 12th century.
    The Baptistery: dedicated to St. John the Baptist, stands in front of the west façade of the Cathedral. The building was begun in the mid-12th century, the interior, surprisingly simple and devoid of decoration, also has exceptional acoustics. It is the largest baptistery in Italy: its circumference measures 107.25 m.
    The Campo Santo: the monumental Camposanto is located at the northern edge of the square. It is a cemetery structured in the form of a cloister, with earthly tombs. The earth inside the courtyard is actually a relic, being earth coming from Mount Golgotha in the Holy Land, transported with several ships by the Pisans after the Fourth Crusade, hence the name "campo" (plot of land) "holy".

    The refugee team should have the same restrictions as the other nations, two men and two women attempting to qualify overall (I'm okay with them competing in the continent they are currently living in). The European qualifier had three men and two women while the Asian qualifier has four men competing.
     
    Adding the restriction would at least decrease the chance of someone trying to use this as a loophole to compete at the Olympics.
