Il cuore dell’intervento ha riguardato il terreno di gioco. Ora il Martini vanta un manto sintetico di ultima generazione. La vera innovazione risiede nell’intaso in materiale naturale, una scelta ecologica che evita l’utilizzo della gomma, permettendo persino una futura riconversione all’erba naturale senza problemi di smaltimento.

Non si è trattato solo di un restyling estetico, ma di una riqualificazione strutturale profonda che ha toccato ogni angolo dell’impianto.

Nuovi spogliatoi: i vecchi locali, ormai inadeguati, sono stati completamente ricostruiti. Ora gli atleti dispongono di spogliatoi e servizi igienici moderni e funzionali. Inoltre, nell’ottica dell’efficientamento energetico, gli spogliatoi sono dotati di impianto fotovoltaico oltre a solare termico.

Area polivalente. Il campo a 5 diventa un’area polivalente e sarà pronto fra un paio di settimane. Lo spazio multidisciplinare potrà ospitare basket, volley e altre attività sportive, rendendo il centro un punto di riferimento per tutta la comunità. L’area polivalente sarà illuminata con luci a led che, oltre a garantire una visibilità perfetta durante gli eventi in notturna, permette un notevole risparmio energetico.

Il sindaco Riccardo Palandri e l’assessore allo sport Piero Baroncelli hanno espresso soddisfazione per il rispetto dei tempi tecnici e per la qualità dell’opera, costata complessivamente 1.199.607 euro. Un investimento reso possibile grazie al mix tra i 700mila euro ottenuti dal bando nazionale Sport e Periferie e il mutuo a tasso zero del progetto Sport Missione Comune. “Adesso – dicono i due amministratori – i giocatori del Poggio a Caiano hanno una nuova casa: più moderna e confortevole al passo con i tempi”.

Martedì prossimo, dopo i saluti da parte del sindaco e dell’assessore allo sport e dei dirigenti del Csd Poggio a Caiano 1909 è prevista una partita dei tesserati della squadra calcistica poggese. Alle 20,30 scenderanno in campo le ‘vecchie glorie’ del Poggio a Caiano.

BARCELLONA, Spagna, 23 aprile 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Treballadors pel Lloguer Turístic (TLT) accoglie con favore le conclusioni dell’avvocato generale della Corte di giustizia dell’Unione europea in merito alla causa C-813/24, Smartflats. Sebbene non si tratti ancora della sentenza definitiva, il parere suggerisce che le autorità pubbliche non possano imporre restrizioni discrezionali o sproporzionate riguardo alla ricettività turistica. 

Il caso esamina le norme dell’UE in materia di alloggi turistici e mette in evidenza un punto chiave: i permessi e i certificati di pianificazione non possono diventare una scatola nera amministrativa, priva di criteri oggettivi e alimentata da un’eccessiva discrezione politica. Il diritto dell’UE richiede una regolamentazione proporzionata, trasparente e prevedibile. 

Questo principio potrebbe avere implicazioni in Catalogna. Il decreto-legge 3/2023 sottopone gli immobili di ricettività turistica a un permesso edilizio preventivo, limita le autorizzazioni e fissa una data di scadenza per le licenze esistenti. Barcellona ha annunciato la chiusura dei 10.000 appartamenti turistici della città entro il 2028. Ma la misura si estende a tutta la Catalogna, interessando i comuni costieri e pirenaici, dove si prevede la scomparsa di 50.000 licenze turistiche (HUT). Secondo TLT, l’attuazione del decreto-legge potrebbe comportare il più grande licenziamento collettivo nella storia della Catalogna, con 200.000 lavoratori coinvolti in maniera diretta e indiretta. 

Guillem Laporta, presidente di TLT, ha dichiarato: “Le istituzioni europee stanno iniziando a porre dei limiti verso un modo di governare basato più sulla narrativa politica che su un’evidenza. Il regolamento catalano non è né proporzionato, né giustificato da uno studio empirico. In ballo ci sono sono migliaia di posti di lavoro legati agli affitti turistici”. 

TLT ha ribadito che continuerà a difendere una regolamentazione equa, equilibrata, basata sui dati e in grado di tutelare l’accesso agli alloggi, ai posti di lavoro e all’attività economica che dipendono dal settore. L’organizzazione ha invitato il governo catalano e il Comune di Barcellona ad abbandonare la loro strategia di scontro e di veto generalizzato per avviare un dialogo con i lavoratori interessati. 

Informazioni su Treballadors pel Lloguer Turístic 

Treballadors pel Lloguer Turístic (TLT) è un movimento di lavoratori interessato dal decreto-legge 3/2023. Rappresenta i lavoratori, i fornitori locali e i liberi professionisti legati al settore degli affitti a breve termine in ambiti quali pulizie, manutenzione, gestione, lavanderia, sviluppo di software, ristorazione, vendita al dettaglio e servizi locali. 

Informazioni sul Decreto-Legge 3/2023 

Il Decreto-Legge 3/2023 prevede la scadenza, nel novembre 2028, delle licenze HUT attualmente in vigore in Catalogna. La misura interessa, direttamente e indirettamente, 95.000 immobili e 200.000 lavoratori, e ha ricevuto l’approvazione del governo guidato da Pere Aragonès il 7 novembre 2023. Il 20 settembre 2025, l’ex presidente ha annunciato il ritiro dalla politica per dedicarsi alla gestione della catena alberghiera di famiglia.

Mom’s Garden Debuts New Bone Collagen Product at CICPE 

HAINAN, China, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On April 13, the 6th China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) opened grandly in Hainan. German professional bone health brand Mom’s Garden unveiled its latest innovation, “iFlex,” making a high-profile debut to address the increasingly sophisticated health needs of Chinese consumers. 

In the past, traditional joint care often focused on surface-level symptom relief. The R&D team at Mom’s Garden has identified that the root cause of joint issues lies in the deterioration of cartilage structure. The newly launched “iFlex,” developed based on a patented German formula, targets and interrupts inflammatory responses while deeply repairing the collagen fiber network within cartilage—functioning like a “steel framework.” This enables a dual effect of addressing root causes and restoring structural integrity. 

“Joint pain limits people’s pursuit of a better quality of life,” said Ms. Olga Stepanko, Global Brand Manager at Mom’s Garden. “The ultimate goal of scientific innovation should not be data alone, but to empower individuals with genuine freedom of movement.” 

Building on previous initiatives such as the Expert Recommendations on Bone and Joint Health for Middle-aged and Older Adults, the brand further demonstrated its commitment to scientific evidence and localization in China through activities like roundtable forums during the expo. Looking ahead, Mom’s Garden will continue to deepen China–Germany R&D collaboration, optimize its evidence-based product portfolio, and accelerate its localized development strategy.

Sui recenti episodi di violenza urbana, Umberto Presutti Gallinella ed Elena Ganugi, esponenti di Fratelli d’Italia, denunciano “una situazione ormai non più sostenibile per la città di Prato”. Secondo i due rappresentanti politici, “il crescente degrado e i problemi legati alla sicurezza richiedono risposte immediate e strutturali, a partire dall’istituzione di un Cpr in Toscana, ritenuto uno strumento necessario per gestire chi si rende protagonista di comportamenti violenti o illegali”.

I due sottolineano inoltre come “l’attuale condizione della città sia il risultato di anni di amministrazione del Partito Democratico, chiamando i cittadini pratesi a una riflessione sulle responsabilità politiche e sulla necessità di un cambio di rotta nella gestione del territorio e della sicurezza”.

La vittoria di Genova ha caricato l’ambiente e la squadra che, adesso più che mai, crede nell’obiettivo play off. Un traguardo per raggiungere il quale serve fare bottino pieno nelle ultime tre sfide di campionato, sperando poi in qualche passo falso delle dirette concorrenti, visto che Versilia vanta quattro punti di vantaggio su Prato e Florenzo uno.

Ospiti che arrivano a questa sfida forti di 29 punti e di un quart’ultimo posto ancora poco rassicurante. Nell’ultimo turno Albisola ha vinto 3-2 contro la Liberi e Forti ma certo la squadra ligure ha una diversa efficienza nelle gare casalinghe, dove ha avuto la meglio, ad esempio, di Cecina e Versilia, rispetto a quelle in trasferta.

Prato, all’andata, si era imposta 1-3 sulla squadra allenata da coach Pastorino. Formazione allestita per mantenere la categoria e che ha in Giorgia Botta l’uscita offensiva più pericolosa. Con lei attenzione alle qualità offensive di Giulia Brunasso ed alla regia di Berruti.

Sabato, come detto, l’Ariete non ha alternative ai tre punti e sarà importante per la squadra di coach Nuti approcciare la gara subito con il giusto spirito.

La rosa: Grucka, Saletti, Nesi, Fanelli, Betti, Solarino, Palandri, Mattei, Cecchi, Conticini, Guarducci, Caiano, Martins. All. Nuti.

GUANGZHOU, China, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 139th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) has further optimized its exhibition landscape with nine new dedicated product zones, reflecting ongoing structural shifts in global trade and the continued upgrading of China’s export portfolio. 

Among the most closely watched additions in Phase 1 are the consumer and agricultural drone zones, both making their debut at the Canton Fair and offering a focused showcase of applications in the low‑altitude economy.

Three global enterprises in consumer goods, diversified manufacturing, and logistics are already using Explorer and Builder to make faster, more defensible location decisions and build GCCs with execution confidence 

NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aokah, the GCC Operating Systemˢᴹ purpose-built to orchestrate Global Capability Centers from strategy through scale, today announced the general availability of Explorer and Builder — two integrated intelligence products that fundamentally change how enterprises design, justify, and execute GCC programs. 

Explorer compresses weeks of location analysis and business case development into days. It helps executives clarify why they are building a GCC, select the right operating model, evaluate and score global locations against a weighted, scenario-driven framework, and produce a board-ready business case grounded in data and explainable assumptions. Where traditional consulting engagements deliver a static PowerPoint months after the need arose, Explorer delivers a living, scenario-tested intelligence environment that travels with the enterprise decision. 

Builder takes that decision and governs its execution. It serves as the independent orchestration and governance layer across every workstream — legal entity formation, talent acquisition, vendor onboarding, facilities, IT, and compliance — regardless of whether the enterprise is building independently, through a Build-Operate-Transfer partner, or in a hybrid model. Builder surfaces execution risk before it becomes failure. It tracks milestones against the original business case and generates the governance transparency that boards and executive sponsors require. 

The Problem Aokah Is Built to Solve 

GCC failure is not a strategy problem. Enterprises know where they want to go. It is an execution and orchestration problem. The gap between the decision and the delivered outcome — the months of fragmented consulting, disconnected spreadsheets, vendor misalignment, and milestone drift — is where billions of dollars of enterprise value are lost annually. More than 72% of GCC builds experience material delays or cost overruns within their first 24 months. Explorer and Builder exist to close that gap. 

“Enterprises are making GCC commitments based on static analyses and fragmented execution models. Explorer gives leadership the rigor and confidence to make the decision. Builder gives them the governance to ensure the decision delivers. Together, they move GCC management from hope-based execution to confidence-based delivery.”— Atul Vashistha, Founder & CEO, Aokah 

Three Enterprises Already Executing with Aokah 

Three global enterprises across consumer goods, diversified manufacturing, and logistics are already using Explorer and Builder in live programs. Their use cases reflect the breadth of GCC complexity that the platform is designed to handle. 

A Fortune 500 consumer packaged goods company used Explorer to build the business case and location selection framework for a new global capability center focused on digital, data, and supply chain analytics. Under pressure to move quickly without sacrificing rigor, the team used Explorer to evaluate multiple candidate markets, model total cost of ownership across scenarios, and produce a defensible, board-ready recommendation in a fraction of the time a traditional consulting engagement would have required. 

A diversified global manufacturer used Builder to govern the execution of a GCC program spanning entity formation, talent acquisition, vendor onboarding, and IT provisioning across a complex multi-workstream build. With operations spread across multiple business units and geographies, the company needed a single governance system to track dependencies, surface risks early, and provide leadership with real-time visibility into program health. Builder delivered that unified orchestration layer from the first week of engagement. 

A global logistics and medical enterprise used Explorer and Builder together to evaluate a strategic footprint expansion and govern its execution. Explorer clarified the operating model, scored shortlisted locations against a weighted framework aligned to the company’s talent and resilience priorities, and generated the business case that secured board approval. Builder then carried those assumptions forward into execution governance, ensuring that the decisions made during planning remained visible and accountable throughout delivery. 

The feedback from a client, a transformation leader in the CPG industry, highlighted that Aokah provided more than his internal teams and advisors had been able to deliver. The business case built in Explorer did not remain a static document post-board approval, but evolved into the governance anchor for execution, with Builder actively tracking progress. This ensured that, for the first time, strategy and execution were seamlessly integrated within a single system. 

What Makes Explorer and Builder Different 

The GCC advisory and tooling landscape is populated by point solutions. Location intelligence tools provide city rankings without decision context. Program management tools provide milestone tracking without embedded expertise. Consulting firms provide analysis without execution continuity. Aokah is the only platform that connects the strategic decision to execution governance within a single, continuous intelligence system. 

Explorer’s defensibility comes not from more data points, but from decision context. The platform helps enterprises define GCC purpose and operating model before scoring locations, embeds scenario sensitivity logic so that assumptions are visible and testable, and produces exports designed for board and C-suite consumption, not internal analyst review. 

Builder’s defensibility comes from independence and embedded expertise. Enterprises using a BOT provider no longer must accept the provider’s version of execution reality. Builder provides a neutral governance layer, tracking provider performance against the original business case and alerting when reality diverges from plan. The platform’s dependency logic reflects the sequencing intelligence of more than 300 GCC programs — encoded into the platform, not housed in a consultant’s head. 

Availability 

Explorer and Builder are available immediately for enterprise licensing. Engagements are structured as platform subscriptions, with optional expert validation checkpoints for critical decision moments, along with optional program management. Organizations evaluating their first GCC build, expanding an existing footprint, seeking guidance on operating model, or needing independent governance over a BOT arrangement are encouraged to contact Aokah directly. 

About Aokah 

Aokah is the world’s first Expert + Intelligence platform built to orchestrate Global Capability Centers with foresight, speed, and resilience. Founded by a globally recognized team with over 25 years of GCC, GBS, and global business services leadership experience, Aokah combines agentic AI with practitioner expertise codified from 300+ enterprise GCC programs and intelligence from 900+ cities worldwide. The Aokah platform is organized across five integrated intelligence foundations — Program, Geo, Talent, Ecosystem, and Delivery Wisdom — providing a unified system of decision support, execution governance, and real-time risk management across the full GCC lifecycle. Aokah operates as a true partner to consulting firms, IT services providers, and BPO organizations, amplifying delivery capability with governance infrastructure and execution intelligence.

BEIJING, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On April 22, CHERY VPD made its world premiere under the theme “Tech. For Family,” introducing two core functions: One-Tap Departure and One-Step Homecoming. Powered by end-to-end large model technology, it addresses global parking pain points—93% of drivers suffer from parking difficulties. 

One-Tap Departure lets your car come to you. With a single tap on the app, the vehicle autonomously navigates out of parking spaces, actively finding the user. Facing complex conditions, its gaming-grade intelligence enables smooth, active avoidance without sudden braking. 

One-Step Homecoming frees users after a long day. Upon entering a residential garage, drivers simply exit and activate parking via the app. The car independently searches for spaces, re-planning if occupied, returning precious time to families. 

At the event, Executive Aaron Zheng demonstrated VPD’s prowess by conquering extreme narrow spaces alongside overseas media, showcasing Chinese intelligent manufacturing’s reliability. Real-world tests confirmed dynamic yielding to pedestrians and seamless obstacle avoidance. 

Announced to launch on TIGGO 7 and TIGGO 8 models in the Middle East and Southeast Asia in 2026, CHERY VPD transforms mobility. When cars learn to care, every departure is peace of mind and every return home is warmth.

MILAN, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fisher & Paykel, the luxury appliance brand from Aotearoa New Zealand and part of Haier Group global portfolio, has unveiled Nature—Ritual at EuroCucina in Milan. 

The 450m² immersive installation introduces the brand’s State of the Art Collection within a sculptural environment inspired by elemental landscapes of New Zealand. At its heart is a simple idea: thoughtful design can elevate routines into meaningful rituals. 

Throughout Nature—Ritual, appliances are presented not as standalone objects, but as part of an architecture of living – expressing Fisher & Paykel’s approach to life-centred luxury, where design expression, product intelligence and performance come together to elevate life in the home. 

Nature—Ritual also introduces the evolution of Fisher & Paykel’s Minimal Style – a refined expression of minimalism in black or grey glass, defined by flush surfaces, very slight perimeter gaps around appliances, and carefully resolved details. Presented across cooking, fabric care and the wider architectural language of the installation, it reflects the brand’s commitment to supporting architects and designers seeking to create the most resolved and carefully considered spaces. 

Daniel Witten-Hannah, Chief Executive Officer of Fisher & Paykel, says the exhibition reflects the company’s point of origin, point of view and ambition on Milan’s global stage. 

“Nature—Ritual expresses our belief that the best design is connected to place, shaped by human need and resolved with clarity. ” 

“Through seamless integration, product intelligence and beautifully resolved materials, it reflects our belief that products engineered for life reduce friction, engage the senses and elevate everyday routines into rituals in the home. ” 

Creative direction for Nature—Ritual and all sculptural elements was led by Dean Poole of Alt Group, with exhibition design by Calvi Brambilla and Partners in Milan. 

Conceived as an oasis of calm within the intensity of EuroCucina, the installation brings together monolithic forms, seamlessly integrated appliances and a layered sensory environment wrapped in a forest-like cloak. 

Poole describes Nature—Ritual as an expression of Fisher & Paykel’s worldview. 

“It distils the qualities of untouched forest and a deep understanding of life in the home into a warm, tactile minimalism, expressed through just two materials.” 

“It is not simply an exhibition of appliances, it’s an exploration of life-centred design that shows how nature, elemental materials and human behaviour come together to give greater meaning to the way we live,” Poole says. 

From the exterior, Nature—Ritual presents as a subtly textured monolithic form. Through carefully framed apertures, visitors catch first glimpses of a forest-wrapped interior. 

Inside, four scenarios unfold, each crafted from tōtara – a timber indigenous to New Zealand – and volcanic basalt. Bespoke ceramic elements by artist Aaron Scythe, alongside birdsong, scent, light and a high-resolution back-lit forest curtain, create a deeply immersive environment. 

Throughout, appliances from Fisher & Paykel’s State of the Art Collection are integrated into four scenarios and five product sculptures as sculptural, high-performance tools for living. 

Four scenarios: 

Tea Experience 

At the threshold, visitors are welcomed with tea — a universal gesture of hospitality. Kawakawa tea, associated with wellbeing, is gently steeped on a monumental slab of induction-heated stone and served in handmade ceramic vessels beside a product sculpture rising four metres to the ceiling. 

Product highlight: Fisher & Paykel’s Red Dot Award ‘Best of the Best’ Series 11 60cm Minimal Style ovens presented within carved tōtara surrounds. 

The Kitchen as Monolith 

Presents the kitchen as a singular architectural presence, with carved tōtara surfaces and basalt forms framing seamlessly integrated food care and wine care solutions. A modular induction cooktop fits flush with the basalt surface, and DishDrawer™ Dishwashers with 20mm stone fronts present the kitchen as a unified design composition rather than a collection of parts. 

Product highlight: The Milan debut of Fisher & Paykel’s Series 11 30″ Minimal Style oven with steam assist. 

Wine Experience 

Shaped by curved and carved tōtara forms, the Wine Experience illustrates the potential of architectural cellaring and tasting within the home. Seamlessly integrated Column Wine Cabinets with precise temperature control and tasting modes heighten the experience of preservation and service. 

Product highlight: 61cm Series 11 Integrated Column Wine Cabinet, the building block of the architectural wine cellar. 

Fabric Care Experience 

The Milan debut of Fisher & Paykel’s new minimalist fabric care ecosystem represents a step change in garment care. Designed as an extension of the luxury wardrobe, fibre-specific treatments, steam care and intelligent sensing technologies preserve the condition of cherished garments. A garment commission by fashion designer Claudia Li completes the installation. 

Product highlight: The fashion wardrobe’s ultimate accessory, the Series 11 Minimal Style Fabric Care Cabinet is designed with flush glass surfaces and refined surfaces, seamlessly integrating into the home while bringing an elevated architectural aesthetic to fabric care spaces. 

Throughout Nature—Ritual, the State of the Art Collection showcases Fisher & Paykel’s approach to seamless integration, modular planning and Mastery of Temperature. 

Each appliance is built on advanced product platforms that combine sensing technology with deep insights from food and fibre science to precisely control the mechanical systems that shape performance and results. 

As the premium brand within Haier Group’s global home appliances portfolio, Fisher & Paykel’s strong presence reflects the group’s broader commitment to premium lifestyle and human-centered living experiences. This vision is further extended through Haier’s own presence at Milan Design Week, where a six-zone immersive experience blends design, adaptive technology, and smart ecosystems, placing visitors at the center of connected living. 

Within this exhibition space, a dedicated Partner Area invites visitors into an immersive, multi-sensory environment. Through interactive activation inspired by Haier’s collaborations with top-tier football clubs – Liverpool Football Club and Paris Saint-Germain – the space brings to life a shared pursuit of excellence, performance, and innovation, while conveying a premium, champion-inspired lifestyle experience. 

Since establishing its presence in Europe in the 1990s, Haier has continuously elevated its premium lifestyle offerings and now serves more than 45 markets across the region. Committed to pioneering superior living experiences through cutting-edge design and intelligent ecosystems, Haier remains dedicated to shaping the future of high-end connected living for consumers worldwide.

Backed by Alibaba, ByteDance, Xiaomi and Meituan, X Square Robot unveiled a next-generation embodied AI foundation model for home robots and said its first deployments in everyday households will begin within 35 days. 

BEIJING, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — X Square Robot on Tuesday unveiled Wall-B, a new embodied AI foundation model designed for deployment in real-world homes, marking what the company described as a major step toward bringing general-purpose robots into daily family life. 

At a launch event themed “Born to Bot, Bot to Family,” the company also introduced its World Unified Model (WUM) architecture, a training framework that combines vision, language, action and physical prediction within a single system from the outset. X Square said the model is intended to help robots operate in the far more unpredictable setting of a home, where tasks, layouts and interactions vary from moment to moment. 

“Robots in factories and robots in homes are fundamentally different,” said Qian Wang, founder and CEO of X Square Robot. “In factories, they repeat the same action 10,000 times. In a home, they may need to perform 10,000 different actions, each in a different context. The real challenge is not repetition, but whether a robot can execute new, untrained actions in an unstructured environment.” 

Wall-B is the company’s first full implementation of its World Unified Model architecture. Unlike modular systems that train perception, language and control separately, X Square Robot said World Unified Model optimizes those capabilities jointly from the very beginning. The company said that allows physical prediction — including force, friction and collision dynamics — to emerge as part of the model itself, rather than being layered on afterward. 

“We train vision, language, action and prediction in the same network from day one,” said Wang Hao, chief technology officer of X Square. “Human infants do not learn to see, move and communicate in isolated stages. They learn by integrating perception and action at the same time, with constant feedback from the physical world. That is the principle behind our architecture.” 

X Square Robot said the model was built on two core foundations. The first is a data strategy centered on real, non-staged home environments, aimed at exposing the system to the long tail of household scenarios — misplaced objects, temporary occlusion, unexpected obstacles and spontaneous human activity. The second is a physics-aware predictive mechanism that enables the robot to anticipate physical outcomes before taking action, rather than merely reacting after contact occurs. 

Together, those elements are meant to narrow one of robotics’ hardest gaps: moving from controlled demos to reliable performance in live environments. The company said its work on physical robotic platforms has helped it accumulate practical experience in bridging simulation and reality across diverse operating conditions. 

At the event, X Square demonstrated a series of live tasks. In one experience zone, a robot arranged flowers while adjusting its grip and motion in real time as stems shifted position under visual occlusion. The task was completed without pre-set trajectories, according to the company, and drew attention from both domestic and international media attending the event. 

Even so, X Square acknowledged that the technology remains early. Wang said current systems can make mistakes that require remote intervention — such as placing slippers in the kitchen or pausing mid-task to process the next action. But he said the robots’ ability to operate continuously and generate new real-world data around the clock gives the system a path to rapid improvement. 

That learning loop is central to the company’s next milestone: within 35 days, X Square plans to place its robots into everyday homes, underscoring the company’s long-term commitment to the home robotics sector.

“La mancanza di personale crea ritardi, sovraffollamento e, in molti casi, difficoltà nella gestione dei pazienti, con un forte impatto sulla qualità dei servizi – denunciano Stella e Ferri -. Chiediamo al governatore Giani e all’assessore alla Sanità quanti medici risultano attualmente mancanti all’ospedale di Prato, secondo quanto riportato nella relazione del Dipartimento di emergenza urgenza dell’Azienda sanitaria Toscana Centro; quali ulteriori criticità organizzative ed assistenziali siano evidenziate nella medesima relazione e quali misure la Regione Toscana intenda adottare per colmare le eventuali carenze di personale e garantire il pieno funzionamento dei servizi sanitari interessati, evitando il ricorso sistematico a prestazioni aggiuntive o a personale esterno a gettone”.

SAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Costa Rica reaffirmed its position as a global benchmark in sustainability by hosting the 2026 Pre-Forum of the Ibero-American Council of Country Brands (CIMAP), a strategic platform that brought together country brand leaders from across Latin America to exchange experiences, best practices and perspectives on international positioning. 

Alongside essential COSTA RICA, delegations from Ecuador, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Uruguay and Venezuela participated, reinforcing Costa Rica’s role as a regional hub for advancing agendas that integrate reputation, sustainability and economic development. 

Throughout the Pre-Forum sessions, Costa Rica shared its development model—globally recognized for placing sustainability at the core of its value proposition. Today, more than 98.6% of the country’s electricity is generated from renewable sources. Costa Rica has successfully reversed deforestation—becoming the first tropical country to do so—while over 57% of its territory is covered by forests and more than 25% is protected under conservation schemes. 

At the same time, the country continues to grow economically alongside its environmental commitments. In 2025, total exports increased by 11%, while foreign direct investment (FDI) flows surpassed US$5 billion. 

“Sustainability in Costa Rica is not a standalone attribute—it is a way of doing business. It shapes how we produce, innovate and engage with our environment. Platforms like CIMAP are essential, not only to share these experiences, but also to learn from other countries and continue evolving as a region in building more authentic, competitive country brands aligned with global challenges,” said Adriana Acosta, Director of essential COSTA RICA. 

Under the concept “Costa Rica: Sustainability in Every Shade,” Acosta presented the country’s comprehensive sustainability vision, highlighting how this approach translates into concrete actions that connect the productive sector, institutions and society. 

This vision is also reflected in the management of the country brand, essential COSTA RICA, a platform that brings together the public and private sectors under shared values such as sustainability, innovation, excellence, social progress and Costa Rican connection. Today, more than 780 companies are part of its licensed community, embedding these principles into their operations and strengthening competitiveness in international markets. 

Beyond technical discussions, the agenda included immersive experiences that allowed delegations to explore Costa Rica’s cultural, historical and urban development through visits to iconic landmarks such as the National Theatre of Costa Rica and other key cultural sites. 

The international delegation also visited Costa Rica’s Pacific region, where they engaged with initiatives linked to sustainable development, reinforcing the country’s value proposition through an integrated experience that connects nature, productivity and well-being. 

Delegates highlighted the relevance of the forum. Mariana Cabrera, representing Uruguay’s country brand, noted that these types of gatherings help advance regional agendas and strengthen cooperation among countries, while Víctor Palma, from Chile’s country brand, emphasized the value of knowledge exchange and collaborative international positioning. 

Hosting the CIMAP Pre-Forum further strengthens Costa Rica’s role as a key player in shaping a regional agenda that connects sustainability, reputation and competitiveness, positioning country brands as strategic tools to drive economic and social development across Latin America.Photo – https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2962788/D52A0424.jpg

L’iniziativa, che toccherà anche alcune aree della Toscana, offrirà un momento di confronto diretto con il personale dell’Arma per condividere esperienze, ricevere informazioni utili e acquisire strumenti concreti per riconoscere e prevenire i tentativi di truffa.

 Al centro degli incontri le forme di raggiro oggi più diffuse: dalle telefonate moleste alle e-mail di phishing, fino ai falsi interventi di assistenza, con l’obiettivo di smascherare le tecniche utilizzate nelle comunicazioni telefoniche fraudolente.

L’iniziativa offre ai cittadini strumenti concreti per riconoscere i principali tentativi di truffa, orientarsi con maggiore consapevolezza tra i diversi canali di contatto e individuare tempestivamente i segnali d’allarme, adottando comportamenti più sicuri.

 Il progetto nasce in risposta al forte aumento delle chiamate moleste (spoofing), phishing e contatti fraudolenti che colpiscono non solo il settore energetico, un fenomeno che colpisce clienti di ogni età e richiede interventi sempre più strutturati. Enel è impegnata da tempo nel contrasto a queste pratiche con campagne informative, sistemi di contatto certificati e iniziative per rafforzare la sicurezza digitale, con l’obiettivo di garantire un’esperienza più semplice e soprattutto più protetta.

  La nuova iniziativa si inserisce nel format degli Enel Energy Bar, attraverso cui gli Enel Store aprono le porte al pubblico. In questi appuntamenti, esperti e consulenti guidano i cittadini in un percorso pratico alla scoperta dell’energia.

“Lo abbiamo detto sabato e lo ribadiamo oggi a liste non ancora consegnate: la nostra città non può permettersi ulteriore caos amministrativo dopo la difficile parentesi del commissariamento. Ci aspettiamo un atto di responsabilità da parte delle forze del Campo Largo e un passo indietro da parte di Matteo Biffoni, escludendo così il pericolo di un commissariamento bis che, dallo scenario giurisprudenziale, emerge con ragionevole certezza”, conclude il candidato sindaco.

“Abbiamo girato il parere pro veritate del Professor Tedeschini al Ministero dell’Interno, al Prefetto di Prato, all’ufficio elettorale al Comune di Prato affinché tutti gli organi preposti alla eventuale accettazione delle candidatura siano messi al corrente di questa criticità” afferma Giusti, responsabile politico de L’alternativa c’è.

“Qualora l’eventuale candidatura di Matteo Biffoni venisse in primis accettata dalla Commissione Elettorale del Comune di Prato, essa potrebbe essere invalidata su ricorso di un qualunque elettore del Comune di Prato al Giudice competente”, ha concluso Giusti.

L’apparecchio è stato donato dal “Rione Popolesco Oste Nord”, a testimonianza del forte legame tra le associazioni del territorio e l’attenzione alla sicurezza sanitaria della comunità.

Un tocco di creatività e bellezza è stato aggiunto dai ragazzi del Liceo artistico Umberto Brunelleschi, che si sono occupati di decorare artisticamente la teca destinata a custodire il dispositivo. Alla cerimonia saranno presenti il sindaco Simone Calamai, gli assessori della giunta comunale e i rappresentanti dell’associazione Rione Popolesco.

«Dopo l’intitolazione a Papa Francesco, siamo felici di poter ospitare in questo giardino l’inaugurazione del defibrillatore donato dal rione Popolesco. – sottolinea il sindaco Simone Calamai– Un gesto di cura e attenzione che va nella direzione valoriale che abbiamo voluto dare a questo spazio: solidarietà e attenzione verso il prossimo, perché come diceva Papa Francesco:”nessuno si salva da solo”»

Un pomeriggio di festa e solidarietà. L’evento infatti non sarà solo un momento istituzionale, ma una vera festa per le famiglie. Dalle ore 16 alle ore 20 diverse realtà locali animeranno il giardino con iniziative rivolte a tutta la cittadinanza: la Proloco e il Gruppo Storico porteranno la tradizione e proporanno una gustosa merenda per tutti. L’associazione Admo sarà presente per sensibilizzare i cittadini sull’importanza della donazione del midollo osseo, mentre la scuola di musica Som accompagnerà il pomeriggio con un intrattenimento musicale.
