“This outfit is an accidental ode to one of my oldest friends. I got the cropped Adidas track pants from him about 15 years ago and bought the corset when visiting him in London last fall. The thrifted Cavalli Class hand bag is my favorite at the moment.”

Se volete guerreggiare contro Putin, accomodatevi.

Contattate il consolato ucraino o l'ambasciata, fatevi dare le dovute informazioni e PARTITE, che vi stanno aspettando.

Hanno un bisogno dannato di voi, maschi, femmine o mezzi e mezzi che siate.

Agite , non lamentatevi, non piagnucolate, non fate pressioni lacrimose e pietose affinché i nostri governi mandino qualcuno a crepare per conto vostro.

Prendete l'aereo, il treno, la carrozza coi cavalli, e andate a Kiev.

Lì verrete riforniti di tutto punto.

Anfibi, mimetiche, zaini, AK-74 di ultima generazione, due/tre caricatori da 30 colpi ciascuno, elmetto, addirittura, quando avrete finito la vostra quindicina di giorni d'addestramento, un visore notturno agli infrarossi, se gliene sono rimasti.

Poi, verrete spediti al fronte, in Crimea, in Donbass.

E lì, tra il fango, le zanzare , i pidocchi d'estate, un metro di neve in inverno e la puzza (quattro stagioni) dei morti ammazzati, fronteggerete finalmente il vostro odiatissimo nemico.

Che si presenterà non col faccione sorridente di Putin, ma con le facciacce brutte dell'armata rossa e di parecchi ceceni barbuti abituati ad ammazzar gente da ragazzini, torturare prigionieri e cose così, molto soft e simpatiche.

Scansate i loro proiettili, se ci riuscite.

Trascinate sulle vostre spalle, soprattutto voi femminucce guerrafondaie, lo zaino tattico dal modico peso di soli VENTI CHILI.

Nascondetevi dietro i corpi dei cadaveri, o in qualche buca scavata nella merda, per non farvi colpire in piena fronte da qualche cecchino armato di SDV Dragunov munito con l'ottica più avanzata.

Evitate di pestare, sempre in quella zozza fanghiglia, qualche mina anti-uomo all'uopo piazzata da qualche barbuto di cui sopra.

Tentate di individuare (e scansare , andando a nascondervi in un bunker corazzato, se disponibile) i droni kamikaze made in Iran, che potrebbero farvi saltare in aria in mille piccoli pezzettini, con tanti cari saluti dell'Ayatollah.

Quando avrete fatto tutto questo, se sarete ancora vivi e interi, fate attenzione agli elicotteri da combattimento classe Hind-MI, i loro razzi e le loro mitragliatrici cicliche, che sparano centinaia di colpi al secondo.

Sempreché , nottetempo, non siate stati preventivamente sgozzati, in religioso silenzio, da un commando delle Forze Speciali russe, anche dette "Spetsnaz" , o , peggio ancora, se proprio la sfortuna ha deciso di perseguitarvi, il "Gruppo Alpha", quello dei peggiori assassini dell'ex Unione Sovietica, quelli che, in 15 giorni, da soli, presero mezza Kabul tra Natale del 1979 e i primi giorni del 1980, ammazzando tutti quanti nel palazzo presidenziale, senza pietà.

Giustiziati, via.

Nemici dell'Unione Sovietica, sobillatori.

Fatelo, fatelo e fatelo.

Ma non rompete il cazzo a noi.

Se l'Ucraina vi sta a cuore, se Putin e i russi vi stanno sul cazzo, ARMATEVI E PARTITE.

Non chiedete agli altri, ai nostri militari in primis, di crepare per le vostre facce di merda e la vostra idiozia folle e bambinesca.

Vedrete, sarà una passeggiata, fidatevi di me.

Roberto Cavalli

Italian fashion designer who used exotic animal prints, embossed leather and distressed denim to create his flamboyant clothes

As Italian fashion went global in the later 20th century, it diverged into two schools: the sensuous, soft in silhouette and touch, and the boldly sexual, flamboyant to the eye. The first, and lasting, head of the sexy school was Roberto Cavalli, who has died aged 83.

The material bases for both schools were the nation’s specialist textiles and leather firms: for Cavalli, they delivered figured and lamé leathers, garments printed after sewing so that no seams interrupted a design, and many fabrics with his emphatic prints. These featured animal-skin motifs, Renaissance and Baroque brocades, or, natural-world details derived from his digital photographs.

His aesthetic was hectic, blingy, and sold across classes and cultures: those from palazzos could don it ironically, while those for whom it was streetwear appreciated Cavalli’s celebration of blatant heterosexuality.

From the late 1990s, he expanded worldwide through clothes, shoes and accessories for women, men and children to homewares, perfume, a credit card, and cafes – in his native Florence, he bought the exclusive Caffè Giacosa and Cavalli’ed it.

He sailed the Mediterranean in his purple yacht, and was mobbed in his Manhattan store, but his emotional core locale remained Florence. His mother, Marcella, was the daughter of a painter, Giuseppe Rossi; his father, Giorgio Cavalli, a mining engineer, was shot in 1944 with 91 other civilians by German soldiers in reprisal for a partisan attack.

Postwar, Marcella scrambled by as a coal dealer, then as a dressmaker who hand painted her creations. The boy’s childhood was hard – he stuttered – but after much pleading, he studied at Florence’s Istituto d’Arte (1957-60), although never sat his final examination.

Instead, he earned money. His mother’s painted dresses inspired him to widen the idea to a mechanical process. He travelled to study Como’s many high-end textile firms, and began to print ready-to-wear sweaters for Mariuccia Mandelli of Krizia, who shared his fancy for simulated wild-beast pelts, and then for Hermès. Soon he had a studio, employees, a longed-for Ferrari and enough money to impress the banker father of Silvanella Giannoni; Cavalli claimed it was to win her hand he had achieved so much this young. They married in 1964, and had two children, Tommaso and Cristina, before divorcing in 1974.

Cavalli’s breakthrough to his own clientele came in 1969, when he gatecrashed a party for the shoe designer Mario Valentino, and mentioned to him that he could print on leather. He couldn’t, but the next day worked out a technique using supple glove kid, and returned with samples. Cavalli showed his new wares, sewn into garments, at the Paris Salon du Prêt-à-Porter in 1970. People gawped, but did not buy.

What did sell was his next inspiration. At that time, only brutal wear and laundering faded, abraded and distressed denim – the big industry that would become stone- and sand-washing, bleaching and shredding denim had not been invented – and any embellishments were crude. Cavalli ordered a container of dirty worn-out jeans from a US prison, and washed, cut and patchworked the pieces with leather and printed textiles for a collection shown in the Pitti Palace in 1972. The arte povera��materials had been collaged with Italian craft skill and an artist’s eye, and appealed to the well-heeled in the last phase of Boho-hippy-rock-chick chic.

Cavalli went retail with his designs through boutiques, opening the first, Limbo, in St Tropez, and built up an international following. As a high-living celebrity, and a divorcee with loud enthusiasm for beautiful women, he was a judge at the 1977 Miss Universe pageant, where he did not vote for Miss Austria, Eva Düringer, 18, to win, as he wanted her for himself. After finishing her education, she followed him to Florence, where they married in 1980; she became his model, business manager, and mother of Robert, Rachele and Daniele. They divorced in 2010.

Cavalli retained close control of the manufacture of his clothes, proud of the skills used, and disapproved of licensing deals and production off-shoring in Italian fashion as it internationalised at the end of the 70s. He resented the 80s fashion preference for what he called “minimalism”, but was more accurately a temporary supremacy for the sensuous school, exemplified by Giorgio Armani’s unstructured tailoring for women, plus a desire to moderate overt sexiness.

The Cavalli label retained clients – rock doesn’t give up on its own – yet he stopped showing his collection, and in 1993 intended to close the factory and beg union help to re-employ its workers.

He was persuaded to a comeback show at Milan Fashion Week, and attributed his triumphant second career afterwards to his inspiration to add Lycra to denim to create stretch jeans. (Not a new idea – Irene Sharaff had denim experimentally woven with Lycra for the dancers’ jeans in West Side Story, 1961.) Cavalli personally distressed a pair, printed a snake entwining a leg, and displayed them on the perfect rear of his favourite model, Naomi Campbell.

During Cavalli’s years of retreat, Gianni Versace had taken over much of the remaining custom for Italian-originated sexiness, but Versace designs, especially his prints, had a mad Roman emperor stridency never seen in the work of Cavalli, whose leopards and tigers were for cuddling and stroking, not gladiatorial combat.

Even before Versace’s death in 1997, Cavalli was in the ascendant again, in demand on red carpets, on stage on Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, and on screen – a giraffe-skin print – on Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City: he opened boutiques and cafes around the world for his sex-is-fun, Latin-culture-orientated, clothes that suited the mood of excess is success. He was the first Italian designer to create a collection for H&M, a sell-out in 2007. His company closed in 2014, but was relaunched a year later, with little input from Cavalli himself.

In 2002, tax police inspected Cavalli’s extravagant house and estate outside Florence, including the purple helicopter he piloted, and charged him with evasion for claiming expenses for the property as work premises rather than a private home. Cavalli was found guilty and sentenced to 14 months jail, but a superior court annulled the verdict.

A son, called Giorgio after his father, was born to his partner, Sandra Nilsson, a model, in 2023. She and his six children survive him.

Sono un trentacinquenne e sono di sinistra. Come per i miei coetanei e per le generazioni successive, l’ideologia è stata ereditata o plasmata sui canoni di un secolo passato. Da quando sono nato, gli unici esponenti del PD o dell’Ulivo ad aver conquistato Palazzo Chigi sono stati dei centristi spostati a sinistra per necessità o per sopravvivenza politica. Due volte Romano Prodi (più di trent’anni di Democrazia Cristiana), Enrico Letta (Democrazia Cristiana e poi Margherita), e Matteo Renzi (Partito Popolare Italiano, epigono della DC, Margherita e adesso di nuovo al centro). Sono stati traghettatori per breve tempo anche Massimo D’Alema, figura di spicco del tafazzismo di sinistra, e Paolo Gentiloni, tra i fondatori della Margherita. Tecnicamente, da più di trent’anni abbiamo una sinistra fantasma o simulacro e, di conseguenza, diverse generazioni di elettori che non hanno una vera e propria rappresentanza politica e che si sono presentati alle urne per non far vincere gli altri (spesso Berlusconi) o non si sono presentati affatto, come dimostra l’astensionismo galoppante.

Forse, riformulando l’incipit, è dunque giusto dire che sono un trentacinquenne e sono di sinistra per sentito dire. Per anni, il centrosinistra è sopravvissuto per inerzia autoproclamandosi erede dell’esperienza di Enrico Berlinguer, ma in modo improprio. I fasti di quell’epoca, quando i comizi del leader del Partito Comunista Italiano erano seguiti in piazza da folle oceaniche, non solo non sono stati replicati nel presente, ma hanno subìto il tradimento di chi ha mollato la classe operaia e in generale i ceti meno abbienti. Il centrosinistra, e in particolar modo il PD, adesso sta tastando con mano il mancato riciclo elettorale. Gli ex comunisti che dopo il 1994 hanno continuato a votare a sinistra per tentare di arginare l’ascesa berlusconiana, ovvero gli anziani che nei decenni scorsi presenziavano alle sempre più sguarnite feste dell’Unità, adesso non ci sono più e i loro figli – o ancora meglio nipoti – si possono dividere in due schieramenti: quelli che hanno mantenuto un’identità di sinistra pur senza ritrovarla nei nuovi rappresentanti e quelli che hanno chiuso il libro di Storia, lasciandosi magari ammaliare dai cavalli vincenti del momento, spostandosi dal Movimento Cinque Stelle a Salvini e Meloni con la leggerezza delle banderuole. Tra i membri del primo schieramento c’è proprio chi per anni ha continuato a votare a sinistra tappandosi il naso, per il classico paradigma del male minore, e chi alle urne ha preferito le spiagge, consegnandosi alla disillusione.

PER RIDARE FORZA ALLE ISTANZE PROGRESSISTE SERVE CHIEDERSI COSA SIGNIFICHI, OGGI, ESSERE DI SINISTRA

Princes et princesses

Il était une fois des enfants qui jouaient aux princes et princesses. À chaque récréation, c’était la même histoire. Les petits garçons se mettaient dans la peau des princes charmants et valeureux chevaliers, des redoutables sorciers et dangereux dragons. Les petites filles devenaient les princesses en détresse qu’il fallait secourir. Inspirés par les contes que leur narrait leur maîtresse, le jeu finissait toujours par un mariage heureux entre le prince et la princesse et beaucoup d’enfants. Mais un beau jour, une petite fille, qui se lassait de plus en plus de jouer les demoiselles en détresse, proposa à ses camarades d’inverser les rôles. Son amie qui s’imaginait très bien en dragon terrifiant approuva tout de suite son idée, de même qu’une autre petite fille qui se voyait déjà dans le rôle du chevalier cavalant au galop avec son fidèle destrier. Les petits garçons n’étaient pas en reste. Eux aussi trouvaient l’idée amusante et n’étaient pas contre un peu de changement. En prenant les rôles d’une Belle au bois dormant ou d’une Princesse au petit pois, ils pourraient au moins se reposer avant de repartir en classe. Mais l’un d’entre eux était surtout très content de pouvoir enfin essayer une de ces splendides robes à volants que revêtaient les princesses. Quelques mètres plus loin, leur maîtresse les regardait s’amuser et tardait à les rappeler en classe. Elle voulait assister à l’envol de cette princesse, qui venait de refuser la main du prince, sur le dos de son dragon avant de les ramener dans le monde réel. Ce n’était pas quelque chose que l’on voyait tous les jours, elle ne voulait pas manquer ça. Mais surtout, elle se réjouissait de leur audace et de cette facilité qu’ils avaient à renverser les codes sans même réaliser qu’ils étaient en train de le faire. Il y avait quelque chose de pur et d’innocent dans leur manière de s’amuser et de se représenter le monde qui suscitait l’admiration. Une belle leçon pour toutes ces grandes personnes qui restaient convaincues que les plus belles histoires devaient toujours finir par le baiser d’un prince charmant à une belle princesse endormie.

ALPINA B8 E23: Un lusso raro e veloce che affascina ancor oggi

Ragazzi, preparatevi a un tuffo nel passato, ma in un passato di quelli che ti lasciano a bocca aperta! Oggi parliamo di un'auto che non è solo un pezzo di storia, ma un vero e proprio purosangue del Gran Turismo con radici bavaresi: l'ALPINA B8, basata sulla BMW Serie 7 E23. Dimenticate le solite ammiraglie di fine anni '70 e inizio anni '80; qui siamo su un altro pianeta, quello dove ALPINA trasforma qualcosa di già esclusivo in qualcosa di epico e super capace. La B8, credetemi, è una di quelle creazioni ALPINA che ti fanno girare la testa per la sua rarità assoluta. È una berlina executive sobria, ma che sotto il cofano nasconde un cuore che batte forte, messa a punto con la precisione tedesca per dominare le Autobahn senza fare una piega.

La carta d'dentità di un sogno

Parliamo chiaro, quando dico ALPINA B8 E23, sto parlando di un'auto che ti fa sognare. Pensateci:

Marca: ALPINA, un nome che è sinonimo di tuning d'élite e prestazioni senza compromessi.

Modello: B8, un codice che per i veri intenditori suona come musica.

Base: La signorile BMW Serie 7 E23, un'auto già di per sé un'icona.

Anni di Produzione: Dal 1978 al 1982, un periodo d'oro per l'automobilismo.

Carrozzeria: Una berlina di lusso a 4 porte, perfetta per macinare chilometri con stile.

Unità Prodotte: E qui viene il bello… si crede meno di 40 esemplari! Capite? È un'auto che vedi una volta nella vita, se sei fortunato!

Sotto il cofano, un cuore da vera sportiva

Il cuore pulsante di questa bellezza? Un sei cilindri in linea aspirato naturalmente, il mitico BMW M30, che ALPINA ha trasformato in un vero mostro. La cilindrata variava dai 3.2 ai 3.5 litri, ma la cosa che conta è la potenza: circa 245 cavalli! E non stiamo parlando di cavalli di oggi, ma di cavalli "veri", di quelli che ti incollano al sedile.

Come ci riuscivano? Con una serie di modifiche che solo ALPINA sa fare: pistoni personalizzati, un rapporto di compressione da far paura, un albero a camme modificato e collettori di aspirazione e scarico completamente rivisti. Il tutto gestito da un'iniezione elettronica Bosch L-Jetronic. Le prestazioni parlano da sole: da 0 a 100 km/h in circa 6.9 secondi e una velocità massima di ben 240 km/h! Stiamo parlando di una berlina di quasi cinquant'anni fa che si comportava meglio di molte sportive attuali. E poi, il cambio manuale a 5 marce Getrag, roba da puristi. La trazione, ovviamente, posteriore.

I dettagli che fanno la differenza

Ma ALPINA non era solo motore. La B8 era un'esperienza a 360 gradi. Le sospensioni tarate su misura, i freni potenziati rispetto alla E23 standard, e quei classici cerchi in lega ALPINA da 16" o 17" a raggi multipli che le davano un'eleganza sportiva inconfondibile. Persino il servosterzo era stato ricalibrato per darti un feeling di guida incredibile.

Esteticamente, le modifiche erano sottili ma efficaci: lo spoiler anteriore personalizzato, le iconiche strisce decorative ALPINA (se uno le voleva), e ovviamente, i loghi ALPINA ovunque, dal cofano al cruscotto. Molti esemplari erano basati sulle versioni più accessoriate 728i o 733i e sfoggiavano colori discreti ma di classe come l'Alpine White o il Sapphire Blue.

Entrando nell'abitacolo, era un vero salotto viaggiante ma con un tocco di sportività. La targhetta numerata ALPINA ti ricordava di essere a bordo di qualcosa di speciale, gli inserti in legno personalizzati, i sedili sportivi Recaro o ALPINA (che spettacolo!), e poi il pomello del cambio e il volante a tre razze firmati ALPINA. Ovviamente, c'erano tutti i comfort di lusso BMW dell'epoca, dall'aria condizionata ai vetri elettrici.

Un sogno da collezionisti

La ALPINA B8 E23 è una di quelle auto che fa la gioia dei collezionisti, ma anche sognare chiunque ami le auto vere. La sua ultra-rarità (ricordate, meno di 40 esemplari!) la rende un pezzo da museo. E attenzione a non confonderla con la successiva B8 basata sulla E36 V8! Questa è tutt'altra storia.

Se trovate un esemplare originale, con il suo motore e la sua targhetta ALPINA, preparatevi a sborsare una bella cifra, spesso oltre i 50.000 euro, a seconda delle condizioni. Molti di questi gioielli si trovano ancora in Germania, Giappone e Svizzera, custoditi gelosamente.

Un capolavoro

La ALPINA B8 E23 è la dimostrazione che non serve urlare per farsi notare. È un capolavoro di prestazioni discrete che ha saputo unire il lusso regale della Serie 7 con l'ingegneria affinata nel motorsport di ALPINA. Un'auto che poteva viaggiare comodamente a 240 km/h per tutto il giorno, senza il minimo sforzo. Oggi, è uno dei classici ALPINA più raffinati e meno conosciuti, e questo, amici miei, la rende un vero e proprio gioiello della corona per chiunque ami le auto più speciali di BMW.

Seguici su Instagram e Facebook per vivere la passione delle auto leggendarie.

Més que muntar! 🐎

Hola!

Em dic Sara i aquest és el meu primer blog. Mai he fet un blog i estic intentant descobrir com funciona tot això d'escriure blogs.

He muntat a cavall des de ben petita, ja que la meva família sempre ha tingut cavalls i ha fet equitació, però vaig començar a entrenar de debò 7 anys després, ara fa gairebé 5 anys que faig classes. El meu pare va viure a Portugal, i allà és on més he après, i on va començar tot. Sempre he anat fent diverses disciplines sense centrar-me en una concreta.

En aquest blog, vull ensenyar-vos tot el que he anat fent en cada disciplina.

Tot des del meu punt de vista, el punt de vista d'una adolescent que ha pogut trobar l'esport que sempre triarà per sobre de tot.

Adèu!

Why Millionaires Are Moving to Dubai: The Luxury Real Estate Boom

Dubai has become a magnet for millionaires from all over the world. From its tax-free living to luxurious real estate, Dubai offers a lifestyle many dream of. But why is it attracting so many wealthy individuals? Let’s dive into why millionaires are choosing Dubai, with a special focus on the luxury real estate boom that’s transforming the city.

Why Dubai? The Magnet for Millionaires

Tax-Free Living in Dubai

One of the biggest reasons millionaires are moving to Dubai is its tax-free policies. Dubai doesn’t charge personal income tax or corporate tax, making it a great place for wealthy individuals to live and invest. With no taxes on salaries, investments, or businesses, Dubai offers a financial freedom that many find very appealing.

Dubai as a Global Wealth Hub

Dubai is becoming a global wealth hub, attracting millionaires, investors, and entrepreneurs. Its business-friendly environment, combined with its international reputation, makes it the perfect destination for those looking to expand their wealth. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or an investor, Dubai provides many opportunities to grow your business and assets.

The Luxury Real Estate Boom in Dubai

Demand for Ultra-Luxury Properties

Dubai’s luxury real estate market is booming. High-net-worth individuals are flocking to Dubai to buy ultra-luxury properties like villas on Palm Jumeirah or penthouses in Dubai Marina. These properties offer stunning views, top-tier amenities, and privacy, making them ideal for millionaires who want the best of the best.

Branded Residences and Exclusive Developments

One of the trends driving Dubai’s luxury real estate boom is the rise of branded residences. Luxury brands like Cavalli and de Grisogono have partnered with developers to create high-end residences that offer more than just a home – they offer a lifestyle. These branded residences are located in exclusive developments, such as those in Emirates Hills, offering comfort and prestige in every corner.

The Role of Dubai’s Golden Visa

Long-Term Residency for Investors

Dubai’s Golden Visa program is another key factor attracting millionaires. This visa allows investors and entrepreneurs to live and work in Dubai for an extended period, offering long-term residency. The Golden Visa also gives holders access to Dubai’s booming real estate market, where they can invest in properties and enjoy the benefits of tax-free living.

Impact on the Dubai Property Market

The introduction of the Golden Visa has had a significant impact on Dubai’s real estate market. With more millionaires seeking long-term residency, demand for luxury properties has increased. This program has not only encouraged real estate investment but also made Dubai a top choice for those seeking stability and security for themselves and their families.

A New Global Lifestyle: Living in Dubai

World-Class Amenities and Infrastructure

Living in Dubai means enjoying a high quality of life. The city offers world-class amenities, including five-star hotels, shopping malls, and private beaches. Whether it’s a private villa or a penthouse in the heart of the city, Dubai has luxury living options that cater to the needs of the rich and famous.

The city’s infrastructure is also top-notch, with state-of-the-art transportation, healthcare, and educational systems that make living here even more attractive. Millionaires enjoy an easy and comfortable lifestyle, where every convenience is at their fingertips.

Cosmopolitan Lifestyle and Networking Opportunities

Dubai is a melting pot of cultures, with people from all over the world living and working here. For millionaires, this international community provides excellent networking opportunities. Whether you're in business or seeking social connections, Dubai offers a dynamic environment that fosters both.

Dubai’s Real Estate Market: Growth and Future

Current Market Trends

The luxury real estate market in Dubai is growing rapidly. Prime locations like Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and Emirates Hills have seen substantial growth in both demand and value. The city continues to attract high-net-worth individuals looking for luxurious living spaces that offer both privacy and convenience.

Forecasting the Future of Dubai’s Property Market

Looking ahead, Dubai’s real estate market shows no signs of slowing down. Experts predict that the demand for luxury properties will continue to rise, driven by the growing number of millionaires moving to the city. With the Golden Visa and other investment incentives, the future of Dubai’s luxury real estate market looks very bright.

Ascolta questo episodio del podcast per un viaggio intrigante nella psicologia dietro la scelta dell’auto, un’analisi che va oltre cavalli e consumi per rivelare come il veicolo che guidiamo sia un’estensione della nostra identità, dei nostri valori e delle nostre ambizioni.

Perché ascoltarlo? Questo episodio esplora con un tono professionale e un pizzico di ironia come i colossi automobilistici globali – da Toyota a BMW, da Mercedes a FIAT – non vendano solo auto, ma narrazioni e stili di vita che attraggono profili cliente ben definiti. Scoprirai perché il guidatore Toyota cerca la tranquillità di un’ibrida affidabile, dormendo sonni sereni, mentre il fan di BMW abbraccia il “fighettismo” dinamico, sfrecciando su una M4 per gridare “Guardatemi mentre arrivo”. Audi seduce l’ingegnere ricco che ama la tecnologia senza ostentare troppo, e Mercedes è il trofeo dell’imprenditore maturo che dice “Sono arrivato” con una Classe S.

L’episodio analizza marchi come Volkswagen, Hyundai, Kia, Renault, Honda, Nissan e Ford, svelando le motivazioni emotive – fiducia, adrenalina, raffinatezza – e i tratti di personalità, come coscienziosità o estroversione, che guidano le scelte. Si parla del ruolo del contesto culturale: una FIAT 500 è un’icona di stile italiano, mentre un pickup Ford F-150 urla patriottismo americano. Il digitale amplifica tutto, con recensioni online e post su X che influenzano la percezione, mentre la sostenibilità, da Toyota con i suoi ibridi a Nissan con la Leaf, ridefinisce le priorità dei guidatori moderni.

Una risorsa preziosa per professionisti del marketing, psicologi del consumo, appassionati di automotive e chiunque voglia capire come un’auto possa raccontare una storia personale, questo episodio offre spunti su come i brand costruiscano connessioni emotive e sfruttino le tendenze digitali per fidelizzare i clienti. Approfondisce il concetto di status symbol, confrontando il lusso classico di Mercedes, lo sportività edonistica di BMW e l’eleganza tecnologica di Audi, e discute come il “valore” assuma significati diversi per chi sceglie Hyundai o Renault.

Ideale per chi è curioso di scoprire le sfumature psicologiche dietro le decisioni di acquisto e l’impatto della cultura e dell’innovazione nel settore automobilistico, l’episodio invita a riflettere: quale narrazione racconta la tua auto? È un’occasione per guardare oltre il volante e chiedersi come le scelte quotidiane riflettano chi siamo e come vogliamo essere percepiti in un mercato in continua evoluzione, tra elettrificazione e trasformazione digitale.
