• Sempio on Canale 5 ("Dentro la notizia"): he says he stopped keeping diaries out of fear of more searches, that he already wore a size 44 at 17–18, and that the shoe print is smaller than a 42. He admits he fears arrest but has "nothing on my conscience." Today.it

Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Il Quarto Stato (1898–1901), GAM Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Milan. A wall of farm labourers walks straight toward us out of the dark, led by three figures: a man in the middle, a second man beside him, and a barefoot woman carrying a baby, who seems to plead with them. Pellizza used his own villagers and family in Volpedo as models. He laid the huge 293 × 545 cm canvas out with cartoons, then built it up with pure divisionist strokes of interlaced greens, reds and blues. It took three years and several earlier versions. Milan bought it by public subscription in 1920, and it became the icon of the labour movement, later famous worldwide as the opening image of Bertolucci's Novecento. GAM Milano

Philippe Daverio put it first in his list of Italian art that shaped the nation: «Quando l'arte, gli artisti e la Nazione s'accorgono che una nuova classe sociale unisce il paese in una identità inattesa.» (Corriere della Sera, 14 Mar 2011)

equanimity (ek-wuh-NIM-i-tee): calm, even-tempered steadiness of mind, especially when things go wrong.

• She took the cancelled flight with remarkable equanimity and simply booked the train.
• Stoics treat equanimity as a skill you practise, not a mood you wait for.

• úterý (OO-teh-ree): Tuesday. V úterý večer jdu k doktorovi. (On Tuesday evening I'm going to the doctor.)
• doručení (DOH-roo-cheh-nyee): delivery. Doručení myčky je zítra dopoledne. (The dishwasher delivery is tomorrow morning.)

Luciano Bianciardi, La vita agra (1962). A Tuscan intellectual moves to Milan meaning to blow up the headquarters of the mining company he blames for a deadly mine disaster. Instead, the boom-years grind swallows him whole, and he ends up a translator paid by the page. It's bitter, very funny and anarchic, a Fante-and-Bukowski voice in Italian.

Fat City (1972, John Huston). In Stockton, California, a washed-up boxer (Stacy Keach) and a kid just starting out (Jeff Bridges) chase small fights in small gyms. Huston shoots losers with no sentimentality and a lot of tenderness. Susan Tyrrell, unforgettable as a barfly, got an Oscar nomination.
