"La napolitudine ormai è diventata troppo scontata, si è prostituita. Sono stati sfruttati proprio i canoni napoletani per fare soldi." Così si sfogava già quarant'anni fa Pino Daniele in un'intervista in cui spiegava il suo difficile rapporto con il capoluogo campano. In un suo studio, Benedetto Croce, napoletano d'adozione, aveva invece definito la città, approfondendo una convinzione medioevale, "un Paradiso abitato da diavoli". Durante il suo Grand Tour, un Goethe estasiato appuntava nei suoi diari: "vedi Napoli e poi muori".

Lui, Bearzot, classe 1927, oggi avrebbe 90 anni. Per tutti era il "vecio", come lo aveva soprannominato Giovanni Arpino. Ci sono persone, nel mondo dello sport come nella vita, di cui è impossibile non sentire la mancanza. Enzo Bearzot è una di queste. In molti possono limitarne il ricordo, indelebile, a quando, allenatore della Nazionale italiana, sollevò la Coppa del mondo al Santiago Bernabeu, la sera dell'11 luglio 1982, quando gli Azzurri vinsero un Mondiale contro tutto e tutti. Ma per scoprire molto altro non resta che leggere il libro che Gigi Garanzini gli ha dedicato.

When his family eventually relocated to the US, Gortler found himself starting over, and after teaching himself English, Gortler managed to complete high school in three years, earn an MSW, and begin what would become a distinguished career in the field of eldercare.

Ich dachte, der schlimmste Schritt läge hinter mir. Ich habe meinen Körper verkauft. Hunter bietet mir einen Job im exklusivsten Club der Stadt an. Gut bezahlt, diskret und gefährlich verführerisch. Jetzt bin ich offiziell angestellt. Drei Abende die Woche, klare Regeln und kein Zurück.
