The “Castello Scaligero” was built from 1199 to 1202, in the medieval period.

The purpose of this castle was to defend to the sudden attacks from Mantua or from the neighboring countries.

In 1345 the “Serraglio” had been completed. It’s a defensive wall and it’s 13 Km long. It united 5 castles: Borghetto, Valeggio sul Mincio, Gherla, Villafranca and Nogarole Rocca.

Towers and walls were destroyed by the Austrians and by the civics of Villafranca because they needed construction material.

In 1450 the castle was deserted and only centuries later was bought by Angelo Alessandro o G.B. Simeoni, count of Villafranca.

In 1890 the main tower of the castle was rebuilt and was included a clock.

Under the main tower, there is the “Chiesa del Cristo”. Inside this, there are one fresco of the 300 century that rapresent the “Crocifission” of Jesus and three paintings of the seven hundred. These were painted by Giovanni Battista.

Fashion, a double-edged sword.

Sometimes fashion can be cruel. All the teenagers, some more than others, try to be accepted from their peers even if this means not being yourself. One of the ways to make this possible is exactly the way of dressing. Fashion influences and allows to classify every person. The most of the young people in the schools wearing the most valued clothes of the moment, feels more secure of themselves. As a matter of fact for us wearing the "right" clothes is a very important thing and we literally follow changing teachings of a fashion that constantly changes.
These teachings can lead to tragic events. A month ago my school was involved in a similar incident.
Sara, a 15 years old girl, who was attending the high school of language has been a victim of bullying because of her clothing style. Sara was used to wear many strange clothes; her companions called her the most eccentric girl of the school. Her wardrobe was plenty of long black and colourful skirts, wigs and crowns of flowers. Her clothing imitated the Japanese Manga.
One day she came back from school tired of the abuses to which she was subjected for a long time. While her parents were eating she decided to take her own life, throwing herself from the balcony of her bedroom. Her parents at first didn't notice anything. Subsequently they listened some shouts of despair from the street and they decided to go outside to make sure about what happened. When they arrived they found their daughter  lying on the floor lifeless.
At first her parents didn't understand why she killed herself. Afterwards they checked her mobile phone and so they understood that she had been victim of insults and teasing for a long time.
After this event they chose to speak about this episode to sensitize the teenagers about the consequences of their actions.
If we were in her shoes, we would speak with someone so that they could've avoid this tragedy.

A group of students could do so much only for bad marks?

Last night at 11:43 some 16 -18 year old guys  left the Liceo Medi of Villafranca running.

This was proved by the video recordings of the CCTV cameras out of the school building and by the witness who saw them ran away and called the police.
But, what actually happened?

These desperate students sneaked into the school through the door of the gym and then they went upstairs, to the ground floor. After that they reached the teacher's room where teachers usually keep the test papers of the whole school year. When they got to the threshold, they threw a home made bomb, which exploded and burnt the archives.

After the noisy blast the young offenders heard someone screaming and they got so scared that they ran off the school very quickly. Someone was in the room! Mr Mario Bonini, the headmaster of the high school, was still working.

Fortunately he has  received only a few scratches but the archives ,instead, were completely destroyed. Indeed when the firemen entered in the room to extinguish the flames it was too late.

Unfortunately for the guys, the marks are also on the online register so their attempt was useless.
"I'm fine and luckily no one got hurt." -says Mr. Bonini- "With the police and the other teachers we're trying to understand who could do this but for privacy we can't say any names."

This fact is shocking and everybody, especially the students of liceo Medi, were surprised when they found out about it. If these students had known there was someone  in the room, maybe they wouldn't have done anything; however their identities are still unknown.
These are our informations about what happened last night but we will constantly inform you about the events.
If you were in these students's shoes, would you do the same thing?

As Disney attempts to racially diversify its characters, one fashion vlogger is calling on the studio to make another change that could influence young audiences.

In a video by Cosmopolitan, fashion vlogger Loey Lane discussed why she was asking Disney to create a plus-size princess:

In March, Lane posted a video of herself wearing a bikini that was inspired by Ariel in "The Little Mermaid." Following the photo shoot, she spoke candidly about how influential Disney movies were on her as a child, and recalled a harrowing experience when classmates called her Ursula.

"The fact that the closet thing to my body that I could get was Ursula just hurt me so badly as a kid," Lane said. "And I grew up never saying that I wanted to be a princess or playing princess with the other girls. I know that it would have boosted my self esteem if I had had someone that I could relate to ... or someone that looked remotely like me."

Now she's calling on the studio to create a plus-size princess.

"We can't all look exactly the same and that's a huge reason why I think it's so important for there to be more diversity in everything that young girls and boys consume," Lane said.

In a 2008 study on gender portrayals in the top-grossing G-rated films released between 1990 and 2005, Stacy Smith and her team at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism found that female characters were nearly three times as likely as males to be shown with a thin figure.

"Nearly a quarter of the females in film had particularly small waists, leaving little room for a womb or any other internal organs," Smith wrote.

CHASKA, Minnesota (Reuters) - Ryan Moore clinched a thrilling U.S. Ryder Cup triumph over Europe on Sunday at Hazeltine National, beating Lee Westwood to end a long U.S. wait to reclaim the golden trophy in golf's greatest team competition.

With Westwood in for bogey at the 18th, Moore rolled his birdie putt to within one foot and the tap-in was conceded to seal a 1-up win and clinch a 15-10 lead for the United States.

Team mates, families and friends poured out onto the green to celebrate.

The Americans had last won the biennial match play event in 2008 as Europe ran off three Cup victories in a row, extending their domination to eight of the last 10 meetings.

Brandt Snedeker had set Moore up for the winning point by claiming a 3 and 1 victory over English rookie Andy Sullivan at the 17th hole.

On a brilliantly sunny, warm day, the U.S. side capitalized on their greater depth to close out victory after some titanic early matches in which Europe had closed the gap to one point after entering the deciding 12 singles matches trailing by three.

Sensational shot-making and scoring made for great theater on the sprawling Hazeltine layout crowded with some 50,000 roaring fans.
