“A desacrating and refined book” – LA REPUBBLICA “The anonymous brilliant author of Against Ratzinger analyses with shar precision
almonst everything the Pope has written in his life” – PANORAMA The first months of his papacy provoked enthusiastic applauses and even tougher
confrontations. Against Ratzinger 2.0 is a libel à la Voltaire that analyzes the famous discourse of Ratisbona, raccounts a mad love story between a priest and his housekeeper, and reveals that the mayorship of Rome doesn't guarantee freedom of
speech. In the end, you will assist at an epocal joint venture among the monothesitic leaders. In Against Ratzinger the argumenation is philosophical, in 2.0, primarily
irony has been chosen. In order to demonstrate and to ridicule the orthodoxy of the hard-working apologists of Ratzinger, it also focuses on secondary stories, which are
only seemingly unimportant. The author has chosen to remain anonymous in the tradition of the pamphlets of the 1600s. Therefore, the publisher takes responsibility for the ideas expressed.

In this provocative book on the relationship between the elderly, power, and popular culture, a merciless
look is taken at present-day Italy in the hands of yesterday's young people. In pursuit of seventy years old VIPs transfigured by scalpels and synthetic hair, thrown back into the meat market by abundant doses of Viagra, they crowd exotic beaches
relaxing in the sun. They resist in the blockhouses of their retirement homes surrounded by new pleasing objects, lubricated and sparkling, planning their future at the expense of those who remain, talking a lot about young people. A reflection on
the phenomenon that most transforms society, changes fashions and customs, chooses the TV programs, and puts the majorities in crisis.

“A fascinating story where the images talk about our cities and the thin extravagance of their citizens” – IL MESSAGGERO These pages by Lori Sammartino form a long story in which images from Italian cities and their inhabitants' subtle and ever-amazing extravagance take a leading role. Sammartino's look is that of a writer at rest: he is attracted by the minor details of life in the streets, those details that inspirit a city and comfort the voluntarily unemployed. The photos collected in this book have the quality of happy moments
captured with the self-confidence of young people craving for memories and loving
life, which consumes itself before their eyes the very moment it happens. Capturing that fleeting moment is the secret. But only affectionate irony, only true love for one's neighbor can help an artist harbor those - ultimately desperate - memories. (From Ennio Flaiano's preface) Lori Sammartino (1924-1971) was a photographer and an artist. Her pictures appeared on many illustrated books. Ennio Flaiano (1910-1972) was a screenwriter, playwright, novelist, journalist and drama critic. He is best known for his work with Federico Fellini. All pictures available Reviews available

with precision and humanity how drugs are simultaneously tools of survival, an obsession, a motive for living, goods for exchange, and the tipping point on the scale of delicate geopolitical equilibria. Without the moralism and the heroism of a
frontline journalist, Scotti’s story and pictures form an extraordinary, exciting, painful and sincere action movie.
