I fiori del male

[mfogiel]

For those of you, who speak Italian, I'd like to flag an extremely interesting on line magazine, entirely free, that has been started a month ago by personalities like Vittorio Sgarbi, Philippe Daverio and Oliviero Toscani. You will find lots of interesting content on culture and art, including photography. It looks to me, like a perfectly logical project, which should strive to preserve the Italian excellence in the art de vivre and focus on what can be done, rather than on what has gone wrong.
Ciao a tutti.

strive to preserve the Italian excellence

And yet the title is derived from a French poet's works (Baudelaire)...

Although there is no reference to why this title, I believe it is a hint to a known aphorism by a late singer Fabrizio de Andre', who said: " Nothing stems from a diamond, but flowers are born from manure". This depiction of Italy being a flower growing out of manure is present in subconscious of people there. The flowers being born from "wrongdoing", I believe, wants to be an attempt to shake off a period of stagnation, and spur the creativity and will of reaction ( voglia di fare) to the crisis.
