This is me trying to build an Ikea pc desk, priced 80 Euro. Will I manage to?

It's still possible to die at sea in 2006

Last time about long life in Le Marche, this time about death out at sea. A fishing boat from San Benedetto del Tronto, south Le Marche, sunk last night under mysterious circumstances. Only the commander survived, the crew is dispersed.

You know my life is the sea, the sea that sometimes can bring death. This sad day is one of those.

God bless the victims in (not of) the sea.

Wish you a long long life...

Today has come out a report about a research on life expectance in the EU. Italy is the second country for life length, after Sweden. The first region for life length in Italy is... guess it!

Earthquake!!!

Yesterday, things trembling, a known experience, especially in Ancona and in the area of Norcia, hiot by a big earthquake in 1972 and in 1997. Fortunately, the town of crazy ones didn't suffer any damage.

Flickr, new membership

Hey there, just to tell you I'm a new member of Flickr. You can find me with my name: "angelorecchi".

The first picture I've put on is one from Portonovo bay, taken last Sunday, with people swimming, since it was so hot!

Here was the city and the cement, now there's a park

Ancona is a very special city, and I love Her.

One special thing it has, it's that is a landsliding and earthquake area, so everything must be built according to strict anti-sysmic criteria. Here, were the picture was built, one of the most meaningful stories of corruption took place. Here they built everything, in the 60s and in the 70s, the worst period for architecture in Italy. In this landsliding area there were 2 hospital, the university of Medicine, lot of houses. It was the area of Posatora and Borghetto.
On 12th december 1982, after two days of endless raining, everything fell down, so slowly that people could escape without damages, nor injuries or even victims. Eventually they could grab whatever they had, but their houses were destroyed, and they had to move somewhere else. For many people, that was a tragedy, although the municipality gave them some refund.

Now, after 24 years from that tragedy, there is no trace of building over there, instead there is a park, Belvedere Park, with an enchanting view to the port, the city centre and the coastline. This park, in the summer, is one of the meeting point of young Ancona people. Differently from other cities, where there were houses, now there's a park.
