Favolaschia è un genere di fungo molto strano, infestante, originario dei tropici. Ma la globalizzazione l'ha portato anche nei nostri boschi! Questo sito non parla di funghi, ma favolaschia mi sembrava un nome significativo e evocativo di qualcosa di simile a quello che qui viene raccontato...

1 billion fat X 850 million starving
That's what the world looks like right now nutrition wise. And that's why 50 Govern leaders and 150 Agriculture ministers are together in Rome for FAO's convention. It starts today and finishes on Thursday. Will they be able to come up with solution to such a contradictory panorama?

Not sorry anymore
For four years Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb, has lived in the shadows, confined to his Islamabad home since a tearful televised confession in which he admitted selling nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya. But yesterday the 76-year-old scientist returned to the spotlight with a bold new twist: that he had not meant a word of his earlier admission.

Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum
it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly
enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still
new to everything. Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers?
I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Hi, actually I've never been a real blogger and I'm not adding contents to this blog anymore, as you can see. It was a place where I used to publish all the news collected every day from me and my colleagues in order to write some original and good article from them for the Italian press. My suggestion is to find a main subject and make a list of websites that you like, to read every day and take inspiration from. Thinwould be a kind of journalistic approach:) You can also connect to other bloggers that you like so you can have good hints and maybe their feedbacks.
