"If you’re tired of ordering from Bay Cities, but you’re still in the mood for an Italian sub, then it’s time to head to E Stretto. Everything on the menu at this tiny Downtown shop comes on their excellent house-baked ciabatta, but we’re especially partial to their spicy turkey pesto and pressed roast beef. However - the real reason you travelled here is for the Il Papa, a giant sub filled with mortadella, chorizo, manchego, and giardiniera, which serves as their remix to the ubiquitous Godmother. And much like the cinematic, Western stylings of the Violents version of Kacey Musgraves’ “High Horse,” this is one of the few remixes that are just as good as the original. Available for takeout and delivery - call (213) 265-7017 or find them on the apps." - kat hong

It’s Official: Italy Will Soon Be Connected to Sicily Via a Bridge Over the Strait of Messina

Planned as a massive suspension structure linking mainland Italy’s ‘foot’ to Sicily’s ‘ball’ across the Strait of Messina, this project has been proposed in various forms for thousands of years, with even the Romans once suggesting a bridge of boats and barrels. After a failed attempt that nearly went ahead around 2009 but was called off in 2013, construction is now set to restart, backed by a 2023 government decree and EU funding covering half of the executive design costs for the rail infrastructure. The Italian government is expected to give a final green light in a planning committee meeting on August 7, with €13.5 billion allocated and officials suggesting a completion date around 2032. Once finished, the bridge is expected to be about 3,600 metres long, making it the longest suspension bridge in the world, and its design is intended to withstand a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and winds of up to 186 mph, promising a dramatic new way to cross between Villa San Giovanni and Messina, and making Sicily much more accessible, particularly by train. - Ed Cunningham

Gorgeous views of sunrise on the ocean, beautiful light reflecting off the architectures along the shore, the sailing cruiser, the soaring seagulls, the quiet breathing of the sea, the resting harbor, the rolling mountains on the edge of the water, vaguely chatting of early risers, aroma of coffee in the air, ... the magnificent world is waking up

I saw Scylla and it’s a rather frightful sea creature with a crab-like shell, six long necks, triple rows of teeth on each head, and twelve feet dangling from her monstrous body. Her voice sounds like the yelping of dogs. On the opposite shore was Charybdis, who lurked under a fig tree a bowshot away, drank down and belched forth the waters. Kinda scary. Not really enjoyed that moment.

Un luogo eccezionale, di straordinaria bellezza! Che Dio ci aiuti a tenerlo intatto e libero da interessi di politici ingordi, mafiosi, e lontano da loschi figuri che mirano a specularci a spese dell'ambiente .
