@CPT, unfortunately Vendrame is absolutely right when he says that football is fake, acrylic. Certain values and certain passions that used to exist are dead and gone. Vendrame, like Zigoni, was sincere and did what he believed was right on the field. He admitted incredible things, which everyone knows but doesn't want to confess. Unfortunately, football as a sport, understood as a real passion, has been dead for many years and people have noticed. They have fallen out of love, which should be a cause for reflection; however, there can never be a rebirth as long as the blame is continuously placed on the Ultras.

@CPT, right. We are talking about a biancoscudato for the Euganean team. However, if you give me guarantees that it refers to Vicenza, I won't contest it. I had raised the objection also because during his time at Padova he was a true star with on-field episodes that are truly unthinkable today, leaving indelible memories.

It was about time! Damn! Now I can tell you, welcome to Debaser. Well done, Blecht. P.S. Just a heads up: the following review will be included in my recommendations list.

Grandissimo Vendrame. A unique and original character, extremely sincere. What he writes is what he thinks in the ways and terms you read it (if a certain language and way of living scandalizes you, this book is not for you). In a perverse and false world like that of football, we need people like him. The episodes narrated here are of different types: some dramatic, some funny, others even surreal (surreal compared to today, things you wouldn’t think happen). I repeat, a great man. @CPT, regarding the colors with which Vendrame has painted himself, I have a doubt that it refers to his Vicentine period since he was also very beloved in Padua (and Padua, for those who don’t know, has red and white as its team colors).

A particular proposal even though it doesn't fully fit into my usual listening. At most, I'll give it a vague listen.

This one turned out great as a review, a truly commendable record.

A good album, as far as I'm concerned. 3.5 that I gladly round up.

A good analysis; I agree with Enbar that the "White Film" is the best of the three.

@Bubi, are we kidding ourselves or what? On the second point, we are into exaggerated class conspiracy theories. It seems similar to you know what? To those journalists who insist on declaring the innocence of the Mambro-Fioravanti couple for the Bologna Massacre. Orlando allegedly accused Lombardo of not doing his duty, and the emphasis is placed on the fact that Tano Badalamenti didn’t arrive, who was supposed to provide revelations about Andreotti; that same person according to whom, according to the first article, Orlando told Falcone that he should have arrested [someone] and there were all the elements when the latter rightly told him that to incriminate someone, evidence was needed, not political theorems. Am I the only one who notices the inconsistency? First, he invites a judge to arrest someone, and then when someone manages to find elements against that person, he says that he isn’t doing his duty? Here there are two possibilities: either I misunderstood, or the discussion is completely unfounded. As for the first article, there are interesting elements regarding the final passage and in Boccassini’s accusations (which, coincidentally, when she accuses her colleagues is good. However, when she investigates Berluska, she becomes a red judge, a conspiracy theorist, etc. This is a general note of mine also directed at the author of the first piece): she courageously highlights the hypocrisy of certain judges towards Falcone, and this surely deserves to be noted as reprehensible. Here we are straying from the problem of my first post, and instead, as usual in Italy, we stubbornly look into everyone’s drawers to find skeletons in the closet. We will never get out of this by searching for the sage and the perfect man. Stop with this nonsense. @Pixies, Craxi has all the responsibilities you want and had to answer for them, but you can’t bring out examples like that. They are tremendously forced and absurd. I’m referring to other categories of people.

Professor Vecchioni is another underrated artist, especially for his music more than his voice (since for many it's not a strong point). The lyrics have always been sophisticated and filled with insights, and it’s almost surprising how he manages to express opinions even more than one might think. Here too there are good songs, but it’s an imperfect album like almost all the ones he has made (and this limitation weighs in the judgments).
