Friends who don't recognize in him the most cheerful fellow raids of the past leave, and the father who begins to understand how unfounded that nurtures aspirations against him, comes into conflict with him.

This is the time when the first conceived sketches of what would later become the Franciscan rule. The reading of the Gospel of Matthew, chapter X, inspires him to point to induce him to take it literally.

In 1223 he devoted himself to rewrite the rule of order, hiring through the fall. Unfortunately Brother Leo and brother Bonifazio forgive, but Francis gets back to work. Pope Honorius III will recognize the Franciscan rule as law for the Holy Church.
In December 1223 Francesco also organises the first Nativity in a cave, which is considered the first of the Nativity Story. The following year the miracle of water flowing from a rock and receives the stigmata.

It represented Alessandro Mazzinghi in sports history say the facts: light Middleweight world champion only 25 years in 1963 and again in 1968.
Sandro Mazzinghi in Pontedera is born on October 3, 1938 in via Roma, right in front of the hospital. His brother Guido (Golden glove of America, bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Helsinki in 1952 and champion of Italy), larger than six years, was the one that post-war led him to boxing, all unbeknownst to the mother who never would have accepted the idea of two boxers in the House. In Guido will not only a brother but a great coach and brighter over the years master of his career.
The very first master of Sandro was Alfiero accounts, good person, traditionalist who crammed all day and then ran to the gym, the gym where Sandro, then fourteen years old, did not know still hit well. Alfiero was an evening to take by Sandro to tell him a few prophetic words: "Sandrino, if you find the courage to insist you all to become world champion." Since that evening in the second half of the 50 's began to sketch out what would have been the brilliant career of the "cyclone of Pontedera.
During the course of his career another rich man of humanity but especially connoisseur of champion Sandro drove on the road to success: Giovanni Borghi, who was like a father for Sandro. Throughout his career he has sponsored with the Ignis, a company he owned. His memory will always live in Maheshwar.

It's pouring on the way home the car leaves the road and ends its run against a tree.
Mahat is thrown out and after a while a group of kids who pass through there. The woman is killed instantly.

It seems that the fairy tale should end, but Mazzinghi recovers and returns to the ring to defend his title in Genoa against Tony Montano, KO'd the twelfth resumption, and Rome against Fortunato Manca to points in the 15th shot.
Although not all right from the physical point of view of the Italian Federation regulations stipulate that a world champion put up for grabs the title within six months from the previous match, and so Mazzinghi is forced to accept the meeting with Nino Benvenuti; If you were opposed to Sandro challenge you would have seen remove the title as punishment provided for in the regulation.
The match of the century, at least for what concerns the national boxing, is put in the pipeline for June 18, 19To address this meeting Mazzinghi must undergo treatment to recover heavy from the aftermath of the accident, this occurs on a first date in terms not quite ideal. However, distorts the essence of nato fighter giving battle from the very first sound of gong. The decisive blow, however, is around the corner and get to the sixth round.

Morale is rebuilt, the fist is always a time and it shows; and it is by virtue of this renewed charge that awaits the opportunity to Mazzinghi regain the world champion belt. The moment you do not wait long, the opportunity to see his project May 26, 1968 comes when in Milan takes the field sample Korean Ki Soo Kim.
It is thanks to the ability of Romulus Mombelli, metchmaker and head of the Press Office of the newspaper "La Notte", and Vittorio Strumolo, President of "sporting achievements" that Society is managed to give life to one of the most expensive and intense fighting Italian boxing, whose deeds are still sleek and remembered with this memory.
The football stadium at San Siro is dressed to the nines, it appears that in the field there are Inter and Milan for a derby-Championship. The stands are in 60000 to praise the Italian boxer who after fifteen very intense shooting has the Asian forced to cede to the legitimate holder the world champion belt.
It's done, is the high point of the career of Sandro which again gives a demonstration of character and strength to all those who believed in him as champion and also from skeptics would have bet on his end.

August 27, 1990

Who is Stevie Ray Vaughan?

In times of little singers, songs sung only danceable and rapper who knows musical instruments only electronic gadgets and sampled sounds, the name of Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of those from pin within its agenda of precious things.
Guitar hero what others never (in the company of distinguished gentlemen, especially Blacks, he Texas white, called by some the Jimi Hendrix white), Stevie was born on October 3, 1954 in Dallas (Texas, USA), immediately showing a bond almost with music and life with the most spiritual and "old" it: the blues.
Approaching the guitar thanks to older brother, Jimmy, future guitarist of Fabulous Thunderbids, which not only offers considerable artistic ideas as an instrumentalist but introduces himself to listening to all the legends of that musical genre. In moments of relaxation, but not only, within the walls of the House resound continually notes Vaughan of masters like Albert King, Otis Rush, Lonnie Mack, to the delight of the sensitive ears of Ray, always ready to steal all the smallest details of those sacred cows.
After the first tests in duo with his brother in some classic local pop group, moved to Austin in 1972 with serious intentions, determined to prove what it's worth. Runs as a Whirligig from one group to the other, eternally dissatisfied and always looking for that "something extra" that makes the difference and that only the real artist knows.

Thanks to producer John Hammond Sr., in 1983 he recorded his first album "Texas Flood". Vaughan has 28 years and is in full artistic maturity: his solos are overwhelming and crystalline, the mastery of the instrument is of a rare quality. His voice doesn't looks good at all, making it ideal for that genre without frills which is the Blues.
A year later it was the turn of "couldn't stand the weather", the second album, as is often the case, raises many expectations. The reception is excellent and exceeds all expectations: the disc goes of in the early thirties going gold. In this album the influence of Jimi Hendrix is crucial and the version of "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" is not the usual imitation Guitarist but is a true masterpiece.
The next step consists of "Soul To Soul" (1985), which sees the Group of keyboardist Reese Wynans considered as the fourth Double Trouble.
