    In a tight contest, Mancini's bullet header from a corner in the 24th minute was enough for Roma to move on to 50 points from 26 games, one point above Atalanta in fifth, and two behind third-placed champions Juventus, who both have a game in hand. While Roma did have chances to make the result more comfortable -- substitute Gonzalo Villar going closest to a second as he struck a post in the second half -- Genoa had chances of their own to snatch a point against the nervy hosts.

The proposal under the Swiss system of direct democracy does not mention Islam directly and also aims to stop violent street protesters from wearing masks, yet local politicians, media and campaigners have dubbed it the burqa ban.

  • Giallo Caronia, nuovo sopralluogo: "Suicidio Viviana inscenato, è depistaggio"

    A molti mesi dal ritrovamento dei corpi di Viviana Parisi e del piccolo Gioele nelle campagne di Caronia, in provincia di Messina, spunta una nuova ipotesi. "Da quanto precedentemente acquisito e valutato e da quello che abbiamo constatato, appare evidente che tutto si oppone allo scenario "omicidio-suicidio" e ci fa ritenere che ci sia stata una duplice opera di depistaggio da parte di una combinazione criminale: 1) il trasporto del corpo di Viviana sotto il traliccio per inscenare un suicidio; 2) l'occultamento del corpicino di Gioele per poi dare il via alla macabra messinscena col trasporto postumo". Ne è convinto il consulente della famiglia della dj. Ieri c'è stato un nuovo sopralluogo nella zona del ritrovamento. Hanno partecipato anche il medico legale Antonio Della Valle, le dottoresse Angelica Zenato e Nicolina Palamone. "Ovviamente erano presenti i due medici legali consulenti della Procura di Patti dottoresse Sapienza e Ventura ed esperti della Polizia Scientifica", dice Lavorino.

    I cuori a sostegno dei Medici con l'Africa Cuamm, grazie a Coldiretti Donne Impresa, sono arrivati anche in Sicilia. L’operazione solidale #solodalcuore sta coinvolgendo tutte le imprenditrici agricole d’Italia che, senza esitazione, si sono impegnate nella promozione dell’iniziativa per sostenere in Africa le mamme nel momento della gravidanza e della maternità, dando loro un ospedale attrezzato e una scuola di formazione per future ostetriche del posto. "In Sicilia - sottolinea Margherita Scognamillo, responsabile regionale Coldiretti Donne Impresa - abbiamo due testimonial d'eccezione: la Procuratrice Aggiunta della Procura della Repubblica di Palermo, Annamaria Picozzi e l'inviata di Striscia la notizia, Stefania Petyx. Hanno accolto e sposato l'iniziativa perché supportare le donne è fondamentale, come dimostra il loro lavoro quotidiano. Il cuore - cuscino di esclusivo design è ormai un must-have, tanto da essere considerato un pezzo da arredamento o da collezione", aggiunge. "La pandemia non ha fermato il mondo agricolo e proprio le imprenditrici hanno avuto un ruolo fondamentale nell'attività aziendale", conclude Margherita Scognamillo .
