It girl pays homage to '70s fun, freedom
Toronto Star, The (Ontario, Canada): 16 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]
Fashion
visionaries have been romancing the '70s with their collections these past few
seasons, celebrating an era of innocence and optimism when we all believed
anything was possible - and dressed for it.
"The Girl of
the '70s," as Yves St. Laurent called her, was Marisa Berenson, a talented
model and actress and one of the world's great beauties. The daughter of an
American diplomat-turned-shipping exec, and the granddaughter of French
designer Elsa Schiaparelli, Berenson's film credits include Luchino Visconti's
Death in Venice. Bob Fosse's Cabaret and Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. Most
recently she appeared in I Am Love.
At 64, she still
plays muse to some of the world's great designers. Besides her stellar style
sense and exquisite beauty, she's a woman's woman - one of the most amazing
ladies I've ever met. I recently caught up with her in Paris.
You are preparing
to launch Marisa Berenson: A Life in Pictures published by Rizzoli next month
based on some of the images from your life. Why did you think this was a good
time to do this monumental book?
It's an homage to
all these great people whom I've worked with over the years. Everybody's
dreaming about the '70s now - and for us it was really special. We were so
young and everything was so creative and so new and so incredibly fun and free.
So the book reflects a lot of that.
I guess because of
your grandmother, Elsa Schiaparelli, this was a world you felt quite intimate
with from the get go. You started modelling when you were 16? And then you got
into acting. Do you ever feel that you lost part of your childhood?
No, I didn't want
to be a child actually. My grandmother wasn't too happy when I spread my wings
and went off. But I was happy. All I wanted to do was escape and go live on my own
and have a career. And so it was a dream come true, thanks to Diana Vreeland. I
had the opportunity of working with all these great photographers. It was so
much fun, too. And I was happy and free.
You were
considered a real It girl. What did that mean to you?
I look at all
these things now that were written back then, and I really wasn't aware of any
of it. I just lived it. Also, I didn't have this huge awareness or confidence
in myself. I learned to accept myself through le regarde des autres - the way
others viewed me. That's how I learned to appreciate myself and the luck I had.
I was having this wonderful time, doing everything I loved and I was passionate
about. And I was close to all kinds of people - from Andy Warhol and Richard
Avedon to Visconti and Kubrick.
So many people try
to recapture and replicate that era, certainly in terms of the clothes. But do
you feel that maybe that particular kind of romance is just over?
Unfortunately,
it's a very different time. I think there are always incredibly creative, great
people around. And actually, I'm very optimistic, whereas a few years ago, I
was thinking the world was doomed. But I see a movement now in the world, which
is encouraging. It's like a great cleaning up of a lot of very negative, very
dark energies - an apocalyptic death or rebirth type of thing.
I've always seen
you as very open-hearted and generous of spirit, but in the fashion world I
find people lead insular lives sometimes. They've got walls around them. Maybe
it's because they're in such an image-conscious world.
People are a
little bit afraid. They live on their own, they don't look to each other
anymore, they don't help each other, they're not generous. The Internet has
made everything very impersonal. I love people, and the most important thing in
life is having that human exchange, because what else is there in life if you
don't have that? You could be all dressed up in pretty clothes, but if you
don't have the warmth of other human beings around you that you're living with
on this planet, well it's essential to be in harmony with everything in life.
Otherwise you're isolated. And that's why people are so alone, and so afraid,
and so neurotic.
We've talked so
many times about the great escapism that fashion offers. I know the fantasy
element is one of your favourite things. Does it have other powers?
Fashion has become
a huge business, too. So like every other business - the movie business for
example - it's also a dream world. I think you have to have both nowadays.
There was a time when artists were artists and businessmen were businessmen.
Today, women also have to be able to do everything.
And you have to
look good while you're doing it!
And you have to
look great! But one has to take one day at a time, not get caught up too much
in the whole whirlwind of things. And it's important to take time to live and
appreciate the good things, the simple things, the nice people, the nice
moments in life, because it goes too fast.
How have you come
to terms with aging - because you're doing it so beautifully!
The secret is to
not get hung up on it. But apart from that, it's part of the holistic lifestyle
I've been practicing for years. You have to work on yourself inside as well as
out, and try to find your peace and your light and all of that. For the
outside, take care of yourself, eat the right things. You know, I have a little
beauty line of natural products. I really believe in nature, and well-being,
and all of the things that go along with that. Everybody's got to age, so it's
just a question of doing it gracefully and just embracing that fact that it's
there. So you have a few more wrinkles! It's not easy, especially when you're
under scrutiny all the time.
What did you learn
about yourself when you started going over the images for your book?
I think the
enormous change, the evolution, in myself. I can see it internally as well.
Even in the pictures. when I'm very young, I can see where I was at within
myself, within my soul. That's the most interesting part to me, apart from the
fact that I like that I can be many people. That's why I love being an actress.
Every human being has different facets, and they come out in films and
photographs. You see a lot of different worlds, and colours. It's fun to look
back. All those wonderful moments that I had working with all those great
people come alive the more I look at them, and I remember all that. And it was
great.

Cycling: Movistar sign Italian champion Visconti
Agence France-Presse: 09 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]
PARIS, Aug 9, 2011 (AFP) -
Italian national
champion Giovanni Visconti will race for Movistar in 2012 after signing a
two-year deal with the Spanish cycling outfit, they announced Tuesday.
The 28-year-old,
who hails from Sicily, joins from Italian outfit Farnese Vini. Visconti made
his professional debut in 2005 and has won the Italian national road race three
times, in 2007, 2010 and 2011.
Sunday Telegraph (UK): 17 July 2011

Szindb�d
Second Run, 15,
�12.99 ****
Outstanding films
rarely slip entirely under the critical radar, but Szindb�d is one. made in
1971 and never before released in Britain, it's a sensuous historical picture
with superb colour photography worthy to bracket with Visconti's Senso. Drawn
from stories by Hungarian writer Gyula Kr�dy and directed by Zoltan
Husz�rik - a troubled artist who made few films before his death in 1981 -
its tone recalls Stendhal and the camerawork echoes late Jean Renoir. An erotic
elegy, the action centres around early 19th-century Budapest society - its
balls, boudoirs and brothels - as seen by a compulsive hedonist and womaniser.
It was a world that would soon be swept away by the First World War and the film's
power lies in its visual beauty and in the realisation that, unbeknown to him,
none of this would last.

Western Morning News (UK): 15 July 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]
Martin Scorsese,

The Italian Potboiler's Master Chef
New York Times: 26 June 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]
IN 1949 the
cognoscenti of the film world were focused on Vittorio De Sica, Roberto
Rossellini, Luchino Visconti and the other Italian directors who had been
gathered together under the banner of neo-realism.
But for Italian
audiences 1949 was the year of ''Catene'' (''Chains''), a densely plotted
melodrama, starring the Hollywood-handsome couple Amedeo Nazzari and Yvonne
Sanson, that became postwar Italy's first megahit. An entire subplot in
Guiseppe Tornatore's nostalgic 1988 ''Cinema Paradiso'' is devoted to the
overwhelming popular impact of this tale of an average Italian family (he's the
owner of a small garage in Naples; she's the dutiful mother of two adorable
children) torn apart by fate and reassembled by faith and sacrifice.
With its glamorous
stars, broad performances and wildly improbable plotting, ''Chains'' was the
direct contradiction of the loose principles of neo-realism and was accordingly
dismissed by the critics as it went on to wide success, inspiring six more
films starring Nazzari (an aging star of the Fascist cinema, who resembled a
dimwitted Errol Flynn) and Sanson (a voluptuous newcomer with a touch of Yvonne
De Carlo), all directed by Raffaello Matarazzo.
Raffaello who?
Like many of his colleagues in the American genre cinema, Matarazzo (who died
in 1966) labored in obscurity until he was discovered by the adventurous French
critics of the late 1950s, and was discovered again when melodrama came back
into critical fashion in the 1970s (Bernardo Bertolucci cast Sanson as Stefania
Sandrelli's mother in ''The Conformist,'' in homage to Matarazzo).
But only now is
Matarazzo receiving his due in English-speaking countries, with the release of
four of the Sanson-Nazzari films -- ''Chains,'' ''Tormento'' (1950), ''Nobody's
Children'' (1952) and ''The White Angel'' ( 1955) -- on Criterion's no-frills
Eclipse label. It's an eye-opening collection.
The title of the
Eclipse set, ''Raffaello Matarazzo's Runaway Melodramas,'' has the unfortunate
effect of classifying these films as camp, and while that may be the easiest
way to market them, the movies are actually far more achieved and elegant than
that term would imply. For all the defiantly old-fashioned, pre-Method acting (the
actors ''indicate'' their emotions with stylized, silent film gestures), the
visuals are remarkably clean, clear and modern, with an emphasis on extended,
uncluttered two-shots. The French critic Jacques Lourcelles, perhaps
Matarazzo's most articulate champion, compares the ''lyrical purity'' of
Matarazzo's images to ''the most successful works of Lang, Dreyer and
Mizoguchi.''
And while the
plots may be full of extravagant coincidences and wild implausibilities, they are
presented with an impeccable sense of proportion and balance, of forms
fulfilled with Mozartian grace.
The morality
expressed by these films may be strictly that of the village priest: prayer,
sacrifice and maternal devotion will conquer all evil. But the presence of God
is signaled in Matarazzo's work by far subtler means: the assertion of a sort
of global symmetry, of a fate that takes away and a grace that restores,
returning the most chaotic, convoluted situations to a state of order and
justice. Behind the most fantastic, seemingly arbitrary events there is a
structure (and, by implication, a universe) that makes sense.
The model Italian
family of ''Chains'' is rent asunder when Sanson's former fiance (now a
small-time gangster) turns up with some of her old love letters and tries to
blackmail her into having sex with him. When she goes to his hotel to beg for
the letters, Nazzari shows up and, assuming he has caught his wife in flagrante
delicto, kills the blackmailer in a struggle.
Nazzari flees to
America (we find him in a sad, cramped barracks full of other exiled
Neapolitans, working for an entity called American Railways Ohio), and Sanson
is thrown out of their house by her mother-in-law, who believes her to be a
fallen woman. When the American authorities discover Nazzari's true identity,
he is sent back to Italy to stand trial. A lawyer persuades Sanson that the
only means of freeing her husband is for her to confess to adultery, thus
turning the killing into a pardonable crime of passion. The strategy works, but
as a result of her false confession Sanson is violently hurled from the family
circle. She is about to throw herself out of a window, when. ...
As the
Nazzari-Sanson cycle continued, driven by some of the highest box-office
grosses of the postwar years, Matarazzo and his favorite screenwriter, Aldo De
Benedetti, came up with ever more elaborate forms of suffering to inflict on
their heroic couple.
''Tormento''
introduces class conflict, a jealous stepmother, unwed motherhood (conception
always seems eerily immaculate in Matarazzo's world of raging hormones and
sexual repression) and a prison wedding. ''Nobody's Children,'' which offers
Nazzari as the aristocratic heir to marble quarries in Cararra and Sanson as
the humble daughter of a faithful night watchman, adds a castrating mother (the
French actress Francoise Rosay), labor trouble, a bastard unaware of his true
parentage and Sanson's decision to abandon the evils of the world and enter a
nunnery.
With its tragic
finale ''Nobody's Children'' begged for a sequel, which it received three years
later in the form of ''The White Angel,'' which stands with the
still-unavailable ''Ship of Condemned Women'' (1953) at the most extreme edge
of Matarazzo's art. With Sanson's character irrevocably committed to the
convent, Matarazzo has only one option to revive the passion of his central
couple: an exact double, who duly appears in the form of an opportunistic
nightclub performer (portrayed with a surprising display of versatility by
Sanson, who, in her loose-girl makeup, bears a startling resemblance to Kim
Novak's Judy in Hitchcock's ''Vertigo,'' which was yet to be made).
As a screenplay
''The White Sister'' would require very little rewriting to become a brilliant
comic vehicle for Charles Busch, but Matarazzo's spare, sober direction makes
it something quite different. Even as the action moves to a women's prison
(scene of another childbirth, as well as a climactic riot), Matarazzo maintains
a narrative logic and emotional authenticity that defy ridicule and race to the
sublime. Here is a unique, thrilling talent. Please, Criterion -- more
Matarazzo! (Criterion/Eclipse, $59.95, not rated)

Play On! Calgarians Work Around City Bylaw to Host Hockey
Tournament
Marketwire (Canada): 17 June 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]
CALGARY,
ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 17, 2011) - Health experts are applauding
Calgarians for bringing PlayON!-Canada's largest street hockey tournament to
Calgary on June 18th-19th.
"Hockey is
one of Canada's greatest pastimes" says Dr. Kim Raine, Co-Director of the
Alberta Policy Coalition for Cancer Prevention (APCCP). "This tournament
not only encourages residents of all ages and skill levels to get out and be
physically active, it also showcases the unique opportunity communities can
have in supporting the health of citizens" commented Dr. Raine.
By hosting PlayOn!
at the Deerfoot Mall, a privately owned property, the tournament organizers are
able to work around an existing street city bylaw to allow an expected 3000
players to participate in the event. In the City of Calgary, this type of
physical activity is restricted by a bylaw that forbids the use of sporting
equipment - hockey nets, basketball nets, and skateboard ramps - on the street.
While these kinds
of bylaws are intended to maintain the safety of citizens, they make it
difficult for kids and young adults to find open spaces where they can be
active outdoors without the threat of being fined.
Calgary is not
alone in having such a bylaw. According to a recent survey, 96% of 24 major
municipalities surveyed in Canada were found to have a community level policy
that restrict physical activities like street hockey, cycling, and
roller-skating on the streets and sidewalks (1).
The APCCP urges
local governments, including the City of Calgary to change policies that may
create barriers to being active. "Cities are uniquely positioned to
encourage Albertans to be physically active. A careful review of existing
bylaws could result in more opportunities for safe and unstructured recreation
in Calgary" noted Raine.
According to the
2011 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card on Physical Activity for Children
and Youth, Canadian youth are active a mere 14 minutes between 3-6 p.m. If
restrictive bylaws were revised, kids in Calgary could use this time to play
road hockey and other informal recreational activities in their own local
neighborhoods (2). In 2008, the community of Kingston, Ontario amended their
street hockey bylaw to allow play on residential streets where the speed limit
is less than 50 km/h, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Dr. Donald
Voaklander, Director for the Alberta Center for Injury Control & Research
(ACICR) agrees with this approach. "Making amendments to bylaws in support
of physical activity is reasonable in residential areas where traffic patterns
are significantly lower. For example, playing street hockey in cul-de-sacs,
driveways, back lanes or alleys is less of a safety risk than playing near a
busy street with lots of traffic" says Dr. Voaklander.
Dr. Richard Musto,
Calgary's Medical Officer of Health for Alberta Health Services, is encouraged
by the spirit Calgarians have shown for PlayOn!, and by the City of Calgary's
overall vision to engage residents in safe physical activity. The City has one
of the most extensive regional pathway systems in North America with over 700
kms of multi-use pathways where people can walk, run, cycle, rollerblade or
walk their dog, and recently revealed a $28-million cycling strategy that will
upgrade and expand the city's bikeway system.
"PlayOn! is a
terrific example of Calgarians from tykes to old-timers getting active and
enjoying our national sport in a safe and fun way. The enthusiasm of citizens,
action by coalitions and other community groups, plus the continuing
involvement of the City are among the ingredients needed to make it easier for
us to enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle" commented Musto.
Edmonton and Fort
McMurray are among the other 17 Canadian cities participating in the event.

Active Alberta Policy Encourages Albertans to Be
More Active
Marketwire (Canada): 14 June 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]
EDMONTON,
ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 14, 2011) - Health organizations across the
province are celebrating the release of the Active Alberta Policy by the
Government of Alberta. The 10-year strategy aims to get Albertans more
physically active and according to health and community groups, comes at a critical
time in our province.
"Only half
(54.3%) of Albertans are physically active enough to receive health benefits
according to self- report information" says Judith Down, Director of the
Alberta Centre for Active Living and member of the Alberta Policy Coalition for
Cancer Prevention (1). "If we look at measurement using accelerometers,
the facts are even worse. This data shows that only 17% of Canadian men and 14%
of Canadian women are active enough" (1, 2).
"The Active
Alberta Policy will give active living, recreation and sport stakeholders a new
road map for supporting Albertans in achieving better health, quality of life
and personal fulfillment, and will lead to more active communities"
comments Judith.
Indeed, it was
time for a renewed provincial commitment to active living. The former Alberta
Active Living Strategy was developed almost 14 years ago. The APCCP is quick to
recognize the important role Cindy Ady, Minister of Tourism Parks and
Recreation has played as a champion for the development of the new Active
Alberta Policy. "Many APCCP members participated in policy consultations
held across the province" confirmed Dr. Kim Raine, Co-Director for the
APCCP. "We believe this inclusive process, guided by Minister Ady and her
team has ensured the new policy reflects the complex interests of sport,
recreation and active living groups in Alberta" adds Dr. Raine.
Bev Esslinger, the
Provincial Manager for SHAPE, Alberta's Active and Safe Routes to School
Program is encouraged by the plan to promote active transportation (walking,
cycling) within the strategy. "When communities and transportation plans
are designed to make active transportation a safe and easy choice, more
Albertans can reap the health and economic benefits of leaving cars at home and
getting daily exercise while travelling to the places they live, learn, work
and play" says Esslinger.
Alberta children
are also set to benefit from this cross-ministry strategy. "Kids in
Alberta are fortunate to live in a province where developing innovative and
accessible after-school activity programming is a priority" notes Brian
Torrance, Director of Ever Active Schools. According to a recent study,
Canadian children are physically active a mere 14 minutes a day between 3-6
p.m. and only 9% of boys and 4% of girls meet the new Canadian Physical
Activity Guidelines (3). "The Active Alberta Policy will enhance the
efforts of school communities to promote healthy, active living for their
students" says Torrance.
The APCCP and its
members are eagerly awaiting the release of an implementation plan for the new
strategy. "We sincerely hope Minister Ady receives a full commitment from
the other government ministries to make this strategy a reality. Alberta has a
lot of exciting work ahead" comments Judith Down.

Danbury area starts to recover after ferocious
storm leaves thousands without power and stranded by trees
Connecticut Post (Bridgeport): 13 June 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]
June 13--Adele
Hatch, of Sherry Lane in New Milford, said she was pleased Sunday that much of
her Candlewood Lake neighborhood is slowly recovering after Thursday evening's
ferocious thunderstorms.
Electricity was
restored Saturday night, and much of the downed trees and power lines that
blocked access to parts of their neighborhood have been removed. Families that
were unable to reach or stay in their homes are starting to return.
Yet she is deeply
saddened that this storm that came without warning likely has cost one family
their home.
A massive tree,
with a trunk at least four feet in diameter, crashed through the three-bedroom
Sherry Lane ranch home of David and Nicole Visconti. The force of the
storm-propelled fall knocked the home off its foundation, according to
neighbors. They say the Viscontis were fortunate that no one was injured, and
are staying with relatives.
"It's just so
sad," Hatch said.
In the storm's
aftermath, the main road into the neighborhood was blocked until Saturday, and
travel on the narrow streets that are near Gerard'sMarina was limited because
of the substantial debris that proved hazardous to drivers and pedestrians.
Hatch said she and her husband, Steve, relied on a small generator so they
could stay in their home. She said they were able to have lights, running water
and keep their food refrigerated unlike many other families in the hardest hit
southern end of town.
Hatch said she
knows many of her neighbors were forced to rely on friends, family, or stay in
area hotels.
Neighbor Rich
Steinhaus, who arrived at his Sherry Lane home from Stamford on Friday morning,
said he was taken aback by the destruction that left his home covered in debris
he spent the weekend hauling away.
"Everyone's
OK ... We'll get through this," Steinhaus said.
Andrea Leite, of
Sullivan Road, said her family was forced to stay in a hotel while their
electricity was off because she has asthma and the mix of the high temperatures
and no power in the house left her struggling to breathe. The extended power
outage also forced her to throw away a refrigerator full of food, she said.
On Sunday,
Connecticut Light & Power spokeswoman Pam Medlock expressed appreciation
for the patience of thousands of residents who suffered through the storm and
its resulting inconveniences. She also had good news.
CL&P officials
said they expected to have power restored to all of their customers between 6
p.m. and midnight.
Since Thursday
evening, Medlock said CL&P has restored power to some 208,000 customers
with 1,655 still without power. The largest remaining outage in the Danbury
area as of 11 p.m. Sunday was in New Milford with 176 customers still without
power.
"It was one
of those storms that was just so frightening; Mother Nature at her worst,"
Hatch said.

Gitanjali to retail Visconti pens
Images Retail
06 June 2011
[What follows is the full text of the article.]
From jewellery to
watches and now pens, Gitanajali Group is expanding its portfolio of luxury
accessories. It has signed a licensing deal to retail Visconti, the Italian
luxury writing instrument brand, with Emonte that has exclusive marketing and
distribution rights for the brand in India and South-east Asia.
Visconti pens,
whose price range starts from Rs 10,000 and goes up to a couple of lakh rupees,
will be made available through 600 jewellery stores of the group by the end of
this financial year. Gitanjali also will retail the brand through other
jewellery stores and premium modern trade outlets, said Mehul Choksi, chairman
& MD of Gitanjali Group.
"The Indian
consumer is seeking the best quality in every sphere, and is very aware of the
value of well recognised brands. This new tie-up will take us a step forward in
the sphere of luxury lifestyle retailing, where we are already offering
high-end Italian jewellery and watch brands," he said.
According to
Choksi, while Mont Blanc is a much sought after brand in the high-end pen
market in India, inspired by the Indian growth story, international luxury pen
brands like Curtis have recently entered the domestic market. "Our
high-end pens are as much a lifestyle statement as jewellery, and reaching out
to consumers through jewellery stores will enhance the visibility and reach of
our brand," said Rajeev Jain, chairman & MD of Emonte.
