The small town of Erice, perched on top of Mount Erice surrounded by beautiful trees, welcomes you with a charming corner adorned with dry field flowers and a rustic meadow. All of this captured in a beautiful analog picture. 😊 💛
Me over-exposing the film in the camera, it's a good idea to keep old cameras in cases in strong sunlight. 😅 You might notice some light leaks in the previous photo.
With our partners, we are delivering essential supplies in Gaza.
We have:
🔹 tripled our humanitarian assistance to €78 million;
🔹 called for humanitarian access and aid to those in need;
🔹 launched a Humanitarian Air Bridge operation
8 EU funded flights have already reached Egypt and delivered over 372 tonnes of aid provided by partners for civilians in need.
We must work together to intensify our efforts to deal with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
@EU_Commission Anche a #Brescia è stato un nuovo fine settimana di manifestazioni per la Palestina. Oltre a quelle che in #Italia hanno visto scende in piazza oltre diecimila persone a #Roma e altrettante a #Milano, si devono aggiungere le manifestazioni a #Torino, #Parma, #Modena, #Cagliari, #Padova, #Palermo, nella giornata di domenica 5 novembre in corteo per la Palestina anche Brescia, con il quinto appuntamento nel giro di poco meno di un mese: 5000 in corteo.
Ascolta le voci raccolte dal corteo bresciano e le valutazioni di Nadim, dei Giovani palestinesi di Brescia.
Nel cuore del quartiere Albergheria a Palermo, tra le strade di Ballarò, in vicolo dei Benedettini sorge un nuovo murale intitolato “Con Passione”, realizzato dall’artista Igor Scalisi Palminteri.
L’opera affronta temi delicati e universali come la depressione, nasce come segno di riflessione sulla fragilità umana ed è, al contempo, un omaggio alla memoria di una donna, Alessandra.
Ho visto da lontano il tipo e sono corso a fare la foto pensando a @matz, poi arrivato a portata di orecchie, stava suonando la colonna sonora de “Il Padrino”. Il successivo acquazzone ha fatto giustizia. #palermo#musicanti
It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡

Sicily travel warning: Wildfires force evacuation of tourists and transport disruption
The heatwave that has been scorching southern Europe has increased the risk of fires and heat-related deaths in Italy.
Wildfires have been raging across the Italian island of #Sicily, spread by strong winds and arid conditions.
The blazes have forced residents and tourists to evacuate and caused severe public transport disruption.
#Palermo Airport, which services the island’s capital, was forced to close early on Tuesday morning after fires broke out nearby.
Catania Airport, where an accidental fire damaged a terminal building earlier this month, remains partially closed leading to fears of huge economic losses from tourism.
Hmm, I have to wonder if #JeffBezos just bailed out a friend #trapped in #Palermo#Italy. Flew in from the US, appears to have landed in Palermo, picked someone up, and turned around and heading back in this direction. #wildfires#rescue (Edit: or, he unwisely decided to vacation on Palermo in a massive heatwave with wildfires, I guess?)
Why is no one getting arrested for murdering people and destroying #Italy??????
"Seven people have died in the past 24 hours as two extreme weather events split Italy between #wildfires in the south and violent #storms in the north.
#Fires in #Sicily caused the temporary closure of #Palermo airport after temperatures in the city climbed to 47C on Monday."
Greek authorities move to protect #FossilFuel infrastructure from the effects resulting from the burning of its product.
"Fast-moving #wildfires swept across hills in the searing heat outside the Greek capital on Tuesday, forcing authorities to close highways to help protect an #oil refinery. "
