The polyfunctional bar seems to be the new thing to go to in Italy.From north to south eclectic bars are springing up to satisfy a sophisticated adult clientele who are always in search of something new.
Fitzcarraldo-Milan (Via Filippetti ,41)
Basically in this bar everything is for sale (food,drinks,art,furniture).Even the waterfall might eventually be sold to the highest bidder .

One Greek lawyer advises anyone travelling to Greece by road to keep proof of the date they entered the country in the car at all times...

what was the fortress for ? it was during a seige, so they pretty much needed a wall more than a woman.

Ok, so the brothers build the fortress .The young brother never knew anything of the conspiracy that led to his being a widower (is this the right word) and the "winner" of the "Alive in the wall" contest aka his wife supposedly died because they didn't let her half-free .We think that they incorporated her totallyin the wall but the legend stops without any after-this explanation. The only person that could have done something is the wise old guy but he never shows up again . But I am sure that there must have happened something else after this ,with the brothers I mean.Maybe they found him a new wife ? Maybe the old guy was just some kind of acient pervert who would go around and say that the solution to people's problems was ,you know,getting rid of sombody's wife and then he would enjoy the aftermath.
p.s I was reading some french magazine today and I encountered this word-acteur oscarise! Oscarised actor!!!!!

Now for those interested (or not ) in Albanian legends ..
In the North of Albania this three brothers were trying to build a fortress. Now, by some misterious acting what they would build during the day would ruin during the night which stressed this poor fellows out.One day they meet the wise old man and ask for some advice( thing that we wouldn't do nowadays).The old man says -the wife which is going to bring lunch to them the next day will have to be (encorporated alive in the wall) in order to make the curse wear off.Do not tell your wives-the old guy said-it has to be a fair play.
Fair play !The two older brothers actually told their wives.Only the youngest didn't.Too bad for his wife who took the lunch to the brothers and didn't come back.They told her what the old man had said and she accepted to die.Now I am not sure that she accepted to become part of a wall because the legend has it that before the "walling" she asked that her right arm,leg,eye and breast be let out of the wall so she can see,breast feed her son and cuddle him when he cries .So,basically she wanted half part of her body free!Are we to consider the fact that she was planing an eventual escape from what the brothers called ill-fated destiny or sacrifice ?
Need some feeback on this one!

Yes he has done some good work but he's a little too much involved with politics (being also the Socialist party headchief) . I can only remember him as basketball player though when I was little .However , I kind of like him but as usual every man has a price ... here's a link you might want to look at
