Turin - the first vegetarian city in Italy?

Turin - the first vegetarian city in Italy?

A loud hum comes from the kitchen of the luxury Italian restaurant Villa Somis in the hills outside Turin. Maybe it's a coffee machine or a prosciutto slicer. But when chef Antonio Chiodi Latini comes out, he's holding two glasses of light green "plant extract," the Guardian reports. Chiodi Latini, 56, was known locally three years ago for his intricately beautiful dishes, such as pasta with seafood and edible flowers or perfect slices of beef cut into cylinders. The current menu at his new restaurant, Chiodi Latini New Food, is no less impressive, but it lacks any animal products.

Julia Roberts' message: It's time to drop the masks!

Perfection is a disease of many nations. We cover our faces with tons of makeup. We regularly undergo botox therapy and starve to achieve the "ideal" weight and figure. We try to fix things that don't need it at all. And in fact, we leave without our attention the most important thing. You know what?

Our Soul. The soul that needs care and attention. It's time to deal with it.

Not every fall is a fall, but every fall is an evolution

Not every fall is a fall, but every fall is an evolution

Why do you want to be perfect? Why do you think anyone expects it from you? Why do you think someone is watching your mistakes under a magnifying glass? And then, when you slightly deviate from your "ideal" image as your most cruel judge, you start to criticize yourself. To blame yourself. To suffer. You may be going through difficult times in your life. It is often possible to be wrong. Sometimes you make bad decisions. Sometimes you might not be in the mood. Get annoyed. To be sad. And what? AND WHAT?

Meditation is a vitamin for the soul

A meditative technique with the breath

The meaning of the Latin word _meditatio_ translated from Latin means contemplation. This word is increasingly entering our everyday life.

Escape the victim status! Joseph Brodsky's famous speech

Escape the victim status!

Respect life with its charms and difficulties

Excerpts from Joseph Brodsky's famous speech to the graduates of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor Stadium in December 1988:

1. Try to expand your vocabulary and treat it like your bank account. Give it a lot of attention and try to accumulate dividends. It's not meant to boost your eloquence in the bedroom or on the road to professional success, nor to turn you into a worldly savant—though it will eventually become that.

We have bigger houses but smaller families; more convenience but less time. We have more degrees in education, but less sense; more knowledge but poorer judgment; more experts, but also more problems; more medicine but less health; we take more vitamins but see less results.

A tale of dreams

In the beginning, sunflowers were not called sunflowers and were just tiny flowers, even a little gray, that no one noticed. In the garden, they were lost among all the roses, which arrogantly flaunted their luxuriant beauty and bright colors. The roses said: "We are very important persons, just look at how we decorate the most special moments of the life of
