Dear readers and dear readers, this was a particular week for Italy, the Vatican and for all Catholics. On the Monday of the Angel and after 12 years of pontificate Pope Francis passed away. The Holy Father had been hospitalized at the Gemelli Polyclinic one month, his total recovery was almost impossible, but nobody expected his trapasso.

Bergoglio’s death took place in the jubilee year, inaugurated by the same on December 24th. The only precedent dates back to the 1700s, when two different popes were opened and closed: Innocenzo XII and Clemente XI.

You will also read the Holy Father in our weekly column, “made them”. Happy reading.

The death of Pope Francis, the memories (the photos) and the controversies

The news of the death of Pope Bergoglio arrived as a lightning bolt on the morning of April 21. Many with thought were still at the Easter lunch between doves and eggs. Someone thought of a joke and instead no, Pope Francis passed away at 7:35 at the age of 88, for a brain stroke. In a few minutes the news went around the world and messages of condolence came from everywhere. Also from Italy. Among the first to write a thought for the Pope, in addition to politicians, were Mara Venier, Simona Ventura. During the following hours the social networks were crowded with photos, selfies, shared images without the slightest thought of copyright. Moving messages and texts accompanied the posts. “Gallopte hypocrisy,” someone wrote and many others thought it.

Eleonora Daniele, live with ‘Italian stories’, had the task of announcing the news on Rai1. His pathos, for many exasperated, made his mouth turn up and on social networks they hardly criticized it. From his hospital bed, Vittorio Sgarbi also addressed a thought to Bergoglio. Achille Lauro dedicated a sort of letter to him. Jovanotti, in concert in Rome in the week of mourning for Catholics, decided not to stop the live and indeed to dedicate them to Pope Francis. For this he has been criticized, and not a little. Football everything, however, stopped. And this too has aroused not a little discontent.

Then there are those who really could not post. Nathaly Caldonazzo, like thousands and thousands of faithful, has set up to take the last farewell to Bergoglio. Just did not make it not to publish the photo of the coffin on Instagram. She too was submerged by the judgments and shortly afterwards removed the image. A little countercurrent al Bano who wanted to clarify that he will not be at the Pope’s funeral: “I know that I could not take a step without someone asking me for an autograph or a selfie. On a solemn occasion like this I would be very sorry. So, I prefer to avoid both the funeral and the visit to the Basilica of San Pietro”.

Saturday at 10:00 am in Square San Pietro the celebration of the funeral mass will take place with the participation of heads of state and international delegations. After the last farewell, the coffin will be buried in a simple tomb between the Paolina chapel and the Sforza chapel, as per the Pope’s will.

And after this week, what will remain? The collective need to show himself, to comment? Perhaps we should simply deal with the true essence of a society that lives more on the online than in the offline. Perhaps it is not about hypocrisy, but a true need to ‘do’ and ‘say’. Because not even the silence is more good, it is synonymous with disinterest and distance. And in order not to incur misunderstandings or diplomatic accidents it is always better to ‘do’ and ‘say’ something.

Laura Pausini’s diet

Moving on to more land and certainly less high themes, Laura Pausini has responded to the many who in recent months have asked themselves which diet has followed to lose weight. The latest shots posted on Instagram let it glimpse a dry physique and someone hypothesized some help (for example Ozempic). “I’d like to know how he made 20 kg losing,” wrote a fan that is not very delicate under the post.

And unexpectedly the answer came: all thanks to constancy and training. First a diet in which everything was weighed, without ever scoring for five months; Then “I started doing gymnastics 3 times a week for a whole year and I made a tour that brought me 3 hours every evening on stage where I did not spare myself physically. I went once a month to weigh myself to try to understand if what I was doing worked. And I continued, with difficulty and constancy. With the will to take off the kilos that did not make me feel serene on stage and outside”. He did not take stings and did not use the methods that “are in fashion today to lose weight quickly” despite everyone advised them. The reason? “I am not a doctor but before putting something in the body I prefer to know the possible contraindications,” added the singer.
