At 17.30 the LIVE
Almost two years after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the photos of the sick in the intensive care units have been replaced by the rows of citizens waiting to receive the
vaccine
, by the many reopening of places of culture, work and tourism , by young people who exhibit the
Green pass
and, by contrast, by demonstrations by deniers.
It is also the year of the return of the great international events, with the rain of missiles on
Gaza and Israel
and the victory of the
Taliban
crowned by the assault on the Kabul airport.
Then there are the images of politics: of the government with Prime Minister Mario Draghi and of the mayors of the major cities, whose election was halved by unprecedented abstention.
But, between a chapter dedicated to the great heat of early summer, with temperatures close to 50 degrees, and one to the landing on
Mars
of the Perseverance rover, it is the
victories in sport and in music
that tell of a different Italy: with triumphs of our athletes at
the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics
, with the conquest of the title of European football champions, with the European volleyball and
Maneskin victories
at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Unfortunately, these images of winning young people, of maddening crowds in the squares of Italy, are overshadowed by another sad record that Photoansa 2021 could not fail to record, that of the escalation of
violence against women
: young, old, mothers, students or workers, who go, day after day, to update the statistics under the heading femicide.
