The thermal spring water of Fiuggi Fonte Bonifacio VIII reopens its doors.

The town of Fiuggi, located south of Rome, boasts the presence of two thermal springs, Fonte Bonifacio VIII and Fonte Anticolana, which have given rise to one of the largest and oldest thermal complexes in Italy, with ancient origins.

Fiuggi is one of the most important hot spring resort towns in Europe. It has two beautiful parks and is known for its healing mineral springs that flow from Fonte Bonifacio VIII and Fonte Anticolana.

The sources reopen after a period of stasis with a wholly redesigned new look. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Boniface VIII Spring will take place on April 1st, according to the new management who recently took over the water bottling, golf course, and Anticolana spring.

This is a long-awaited piece of news in the city for all the local economic actors. The seasonal reopening of the hot springs symbolizes the start of the city's economic engine. It's linked to an allied industry with dozens of hotels, businesses, and workers.

The new owners of the Terme di Fiuggi, the entrepreneurs Stirpe, Borgomeo, Battisti, and Benedetto, have kept to the schedule announced at the press conference at the beginning of the year, proposing the same operational goals that characterize the Fiuggi facilities. The golf course is already accessible, the Bonifacio VIII spring will be opened on April 1st, and the Anticolana spring traditionally will open its doors on June 1st.

As announced by the new ownership, there won't be any profound changes or upheavals inside the park. But there will be a profound innovation in the services offered and a lot of investment in the historical relationship between the spa and the medical and scientific world.

Satisfaction and gratitude also for the staff employed during the other months and until the planned closure foresees between October and November.

In short, it's good news. It restores confidence and strengthens the work of the categories, which look forward with great hope to revitalize the thermal industry.

Fun fact. Pope Boniface VIII claimed his kidney stones had been healed by the mineral waters from the Fiuggi springs.

A 2,600-Year-Old Unopened Etruscan Tomb Discovered in Italy

Community leaders and archeologists in central Italy recently gathered in the municipality of Montalto di Castro for the opening of a tomb that dates back more than 2 1/2 millennia, the municipality announced in a social media post last week.

"Today … we witnessed the opening of an ancient Etruscan tomb buried at the Osteria Necropolis in Vulci," the municipality of Montalto di Castro, which sits along the Mediterranean Sea about 100 miles northwest of Rome, wrote Oct. 27 on Facebook, calling the grand unveiling "a day of culture and history" in a translated statement.

Historians say the Etruscans built their civilization on a portion of the land that is now modern-day Italy, beginning as early as 900 B.C., and operated as a network of city-states not completely unlike the Roman Republic that came after it. The Etruscans dominated Italy until falling, as a result of the Roman-Etruscan wars, to the then-expanding Roman empire around the 4th century B.C.

Vulci, an archaeological site in the northern Lazio region not far from Montalto di Castro, was once a rich Etruscan city. Its ruins have become a popular spot for tourist visits and as well as a place of interest for archaeological excavations.

The tomb discovered there earlier this year was found remarkably intact when it was officially opened at the end of October, for the first time in about 2,600 years, according to the Italian online magazine Finestre sull'Arte, which focuses on ancient and contemporary art. It was opened and explored following the opening of a similar tomb in the area this past April, the magazine reported. Montalto di Castro Mayor Emanuela Socciarelli attended the opening along with Simona Baldassarre, the councilor of culture for the Lazio region, Simona Carosi, the manager of the Superintendency of Archaeology for the province of Viterbo and southern Etruria, and Carlos Casi, the director of the Vulci Foundation, which helped lead the excavation alongside archeologists.

Archaeologists found a collection of long-lost treasures inside the ancient tomb, including a collection of pottery and amphorae, which are tall jars with two handles and a narrow neck typically associated with ancient Greek or Roman cultures. The jars contained wine from Greece, likely from the island of Chios, Finestre sull'Arte reported. It could be a relic of the wine trade happening at that time in history.

Utensils, cups, iron objects, and a variety of ceramics and decorative accessories were also found inside the tomb in perfect condition, as was a tablecloth that may have been used for a funerary ritual offering called "the last meal" or "meal of the dead." A bronze cauldron was also found.

The stockpile of personal belongings found inside the tomb suggests the family for whom it was constructed was probably quite wealthy in their day.

The complex structure and layout of the burial site is also important to archeologists and historians, Casi told the Italian news outlet Il Messaggero, noting that the tomb "appears to be characterized by a partition saved in the rock which creates a passage arch between the dromos, i.e. the short corridor with steps, and the vestibule, from which the two rooms were accessed, the front one and the one on the left: the usual one on the right is missing, evidently because the space had already been occupied by other tombs."

To visit list: Some of my favorite places in Italy (Pt 1)

1. Rome (obviously) I actually lived in Rome for 6 years and I don’t think it’s overrated at all, it’s a place full of history and culture and is worth visiting at least once. Also it is huge and there’s always new things to discover no matter how long u spend there!

2. Proximity wise, in the outskirts of Rome you will also find cute seaside towns Nettuno and Anzio. Nettuno (Neptune) is a very pretty seaside small town that is also home to an ancient borgo, making the place pretty magical. Anzio is also very nice, part of it coastline has ancient ruins from Nerone times.

3. Terracina. As you may have intuited I am a seaside lover girl, Terracina is still in the outskirts of Rome and it is home to Temple of Jupiter Anxur, a temple in honor of Jupiter that is very very ancient (there’s only ruins left) that’s on the hill overlooking the city. I thought the temple was quite a magical place when I went to visit and it gave me plenty of positive vibes. The city is also very pretty.

4. Sermoneta. A small borgo in province of Latina, still in Lazio. It’s on a hill and the view is beautiful, plenty of nature, very cute kitties all around, very nice food and very nice people too.

5. Naples 🩵 Definitely worth visiting! Rich in culture rich in food and the people are very lively! Had a great time both times I visited. The second time we also took some guided tours such as seeing an old church where the “skull with ears” was located and seeing the city undergrounds.

6. Tropea. Magical magical place and home of some of the best food I’ve ever eaten (the Calabria region in general I think has the best food in Italy). I don’t think I can even explain it in words Ill just attach pictures and hope you guys get the idea.

7. Scilla. Also incredibly beautiful and picturesque, rich in history and overall beauty, and also you could find friendly cute kittens at every corner!!!!

8. Trani. A very cute city especially during summer! It has one of my favorite ports and also the food was delicious. A nice place to have a drink in the evening, very lively, also I had a great time sunbathing during the day too. I cannot swim and have a bit of a water phobia but I found the sea there very nice so I did take some baths. There’s also a huge park there that I loved.

9. Polignano a Mare. I was just passing through but explored a bit of the town and loved it so much. Very particular coastline and the town is cute, very well kept and the small streets are fairytale like.

10. Alberobello. This place is a gem. It looks like a fairytale setting because the houses (trulli) are built in a very particular way and that is so in the older times they could dismantle the rooftops in order to avoid paying tax. #slay

There will soon be a part two!!!!

[ninacarstairss]

hello cece my beloved soulmate!! hope you are doing well!

i just wanted to ask a cheeky little question! so i am planning to visit italy at one point before i go back to australia and i was wondering if you had any personal recommendations of places to go to?? i would only trust your judgement!

anyways, i adore you, i’m leaving all the jaffa cakes and tea MWAH

nero my beloved soulmate!!!! i’ve been off this hellsite way too long, i’ve missed you!!!! <333

how are you doing?? how’s the uk?? have u visited any more interesting places??

anyways, absolutely!!! ugh there are so many places that would be worth a visit here, but if you ask me i would say aim for either the center or the south regions. i live in tuscany and i can say it’s always been one of my favorite spots in italy, the central regions like tuscany and umbria and even lazio with rome, they have all these really antique cities that you can’t miss. tuscany is full of vineyards and medieval cities, there’s obviously florence that is amazing but also lucca, pisa, arezzo, and the smaller cities like san gimignano, san quirico d’orcia, monteriggioni, pontedera, and so many more that feel like they are stuck in the medieval and renaissance times, you’ll feel like you’re literally walking in the past. and lazio too, i mean rome is absolutely something you can’t miss. it’s out of this world, there’s something new to discover at every corner and you’ll eat some of the most amazing meals ever. it’s very touristy of course, but it’s worth it. i’ve been to rome a thousand times and i still keep finding new hidden gems whenever i go back. (and in case you do get to rome i have a cute little restaurant to recommend, i’ve eaten there more times than i can count and it never disappointed once!!!)

i’ve traveled less in the south but i can say that puglia and sicily are my absolute go to spots for that part of italy. it’s a very different scenario, they’re even more stuck in the past, in greek times even, and it’s magical. i don’t know how many days you’re planning to visit so i don’t know if you can do both regions because sicily is an island so it takes a bot of travel to get there, but still i would highly recommend both!!

i think i’ve rambled on long enough now 😂 so when are you planning to visit?? i’m really curious to hear about what you do and what you’ve been doing so far too!!! i’ve really missed you a ton <333

i’m sharing all these jaffa cakes with you and a lot of biscoff cheesecake too <3333

[onetouchparadise]

i see your fanfic request post and i'm going to act like a little devil on your shoulder, whispering that you should write zanetti x del piero

Hiii!!

Ohhh I love this Devil! I love the ship and HELL YES! Anyways here's your fic, I like angst what can I say but yeah... Hope you like it🫶

The days after May 5, 2002 were impossible for Javier, it was as if his life had been destroyed... he was the captain, he took on everything that came to him, it was his duty... but he too had a limit and in fact after accusations and mockings he built a wall: he locked himself in his house.

He didn't let anyone in, he didn't answer messages or calls, actually it was as if his brain had just stopped working: 4-2... those two damn goals, and the tears that came out of his eyes between the covers of the sofa were many more than two, those walls became his defenses from a cruel world.  And in those desperate moments he became a child again, reminding himself with a sad smile of when he was a child and, after a bad fall while playing his friends, full of dreams like him, he'd went to his mother, bleeding, and asking for a hug, a bit of affection and comfort.  She kissed him on the forehead and washed and bandaged his wounds, carrying him to bed with a smile. And at that memory the Argentinian smiled, but his mother had remained in his brithplace (how much he missed it) and he was now alone.

But hadn't he chosen it?

"If anyone cared they would come to visit you..." and for the millionth time in a few days he ignored the constant devil on his shoulder, chasing it away....

But, in the midst of his mourning, someone knocked.

"No... impossible..." what if he dreamt it? He wanted someone to come so much that his already experienced senses had played such a trick on him?

 Intrigued, however, the Inter player opened the door....he wishes he hadn't done so.  "Nono, are you kiddin'... are you kidding me?!"  and Javier, in his denial, shook his head and tried to push the guest with his bare hands, but the other did not move.

Javier, his anger increasing, hissed: "What do you want... Del Piero?", well... yes, Alex Del Piero was at his door.

 It wasn't the first time he'd come to his house, but it was the first time he wasn't welcome.  But Zanetti's threats (so similar to pleas) were of no use, the Captain of the Bianconeri remained there, motionless, with sad eyes and a fragile smile of pity.  Javier didn't want pity, they had lost, and it was his fault, no amount of pity could save him from what he earned.  It was too late for pity now.

 "Javier-" "Oh, now we do use first names, Alessandro?"  "I thought that after everything we've been through we could talk civilly..." "I thought that after everything we've been through YOU WOULDN'T COME HERE JUST TO REMBER ME HOW YOU WON THE SCUDETTO!" and Zanetti was shouting, in front of everyone, so much so that some people walking near the house turned to look at him, on the doorframe.  Alex pinched his nose and when he spoke he seemed much more serious and... tired: "Javi... I didn't come for this and you know it, you're delusional, it's not you anymore. But you have to recognize it, you lost. I won't let you stay locked up here to destroy you though."

 And with that small, tiny sentence, reality collapsed on Javier Zanetti like a house of cards, but he was part of another deck, the discarded one, he broke, burst into desperate tears and clung to Alex, as steadfast as a rock in the open sea, the Juventus captain gave him a hug and took him into the house, he knew it well by now, they sat down on the sofa.

 "I'm the captain... it's my fault if we lost...", Alex frowned at the words "It's not true and you know it too, everyone of you lost exactly because you're captain your team needs you now.".

 "Yes, but it's easy for you to talk... you won the Scudetto in the end... you are the Italian Champions, the fantastic Juventus... and us? We only lost against Lazio and lost the Scudetto the last day...".

 Alessandro didn't want to hear another word, he caressed his shoulder, Javier shivered at the touch, how much he missed him... he missed Alex but he didn't want to look for him after the match, he was angry with the world, with him above all.

 "Thank you... for coming, and sorry for earlier, I didn't know what to think, I was sure that you too would come and tell me that I wasn't up to your standards, I wasn't a good captain... I didn't deserve you..." "Javier Adelmar Zanetti... don't say something like that again. I love you, and you are much more important than a Scudetto won or lost, you are my greatest trophy and I can only thank football for having known you."  and Alex kissed him, slowly and passionately, it was sweet as honey but filled with desire, and Javier as much as he loved him, kissed him back and who knows how much they were like that, enjoying their love with these sweet gestures.

Then Alessandro shook his hands and looked at him in those chocolate brown eyes that shone with untold emotions (and tears) and said to him: "Now go and show all of Italy who Javier Zanetti, captain of Inter, is and why they chose him!"  and his boyfriend hugged him again, and Alex smiled when he saw the determination return in his gaze, because Javier was a warrior, he always has been, and after a lost battle you have to move forward, whatever it takes.

 Zanetti stood up, their noses were touching and god, how grateful he was for Alessandro, "I love you, only you could have cheered me up... will you be by my side in this revenge match?"

 The greatest love was the one the world will never know, two Captains who were not bitter rivals, but the tenderest of lovers.

 "Always. I am your most trusted companion, my love."

 And they kissed again...

 ...you are the best prize that life has given me...

Love Zaniero and THANK YOU SM for the request! <3

Leon after the match against Mainz:

(on the win against Mainz) It was a very convincing win for us. We played a very good and very consistent game over 90 minutes and finally scored a lot of goals again, and of course it's a lot more fun that way

(on the question of whether the Lazio win was a spark) I think it's hard to compare the two games. But of course, the game against Lazio, there was a lot of pressure and at the end of the day, these are the games that we love, that we want, that you want as a Bayern player. It was good that we passed. And it's clear that we now want to continue this story or stay in our flow

(the four points he scored in the win over Mainz) I don't think I've ever had that before. I got a special visit today from friends and acquaintances I haven't seen for a long time. They said, we've been here before, now you have to score a goal again. It's actually no longer possible in my position, the way I'm playing now. The fact that I managed to score four points today is of course a funny story

(Jo as a right-back) I believe that Joshua has already proven in his career that he can be an outstanding right-back and now you can see from game to game that he feels more comfortable there. I don't know of any right-back in the world who can have as much influence on the game in that position

(on the championship race against Leverkusen) I don't think a statement matters at all, it was a convincing win and we've often lacked that this season. That's why we're in the situation we're in in the Bundesliga. Nevertheless, it's our duty to the club to do everything we can and to continue to throw everything into the balance and, of course, to win our games. If Leverkusen start to wobble, then we have to be there!

(his future at Bayern) To be honest, I'm not really thinking about that at the moment, I think that's the club's job. We are fully focused on the season

The Pretty Cures and its Saints: Delicious Party♡Pretty Cure

It’s been a long time in three years and here we are, I have to make in just a long time, so here are our delicious heroes and their corresponding feast days sharing with their birthdays!

August 31 - Yui Nagomi (Cure Precious)

Sts. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus: Both of these men are appeared in the Holy Bible's New Testament. Joseph (not to be confused with the foster father of Jesus) is from Arimathea, and a respected but wealthy civic leader and a member of the Sanhedrin. More important is the courage Joseph showed in asking Pilate for Jesus’ body. Jesus was a condemned criminal who had been publicly executed. Nicodemus is also a member of the Sanhedrin and a important one like Joseph, and was a Pharisee. He appeared in the Gospel of John when he secretly visits Jesus at night to discuss his teachings, and was impressed by the miracles of Jesus but was not fully convinced that he was the Messiah. Both Joseph and Nicodemus are honored by the Roman Catholic Church on this date, as Joseph is the patron of undertakers and funeral directors while Nicodemus is the patron of curiosity.

March 13 - Kokone Fuwa (Cure Spicy)

St. Roderick: 9th century priest who is formerly a Muslim, and is venerated as one of the Martyrs of Córdoba. Tradition states that he was a Christian priest of Cabra who had two brothers: one was a Muslim, the other irreligious. Once, after his brothers began to fight one another, Roderick attempted to break up the fight. However, they turned on him instead and beat him. When Roderick maintained his loyalty to the Catholic religion, he was accused of apostasy from Islam under Sharia law, and he was imprisoned and then beheaded along with Salomon (Solomon) at Córdoba.

July 11 - Ran Hanamichi (Cure Yum-Yum)

St. Benedict: 5th century abbot, mystic, exorcist, religious and founder of the Order of Saint Benedict (the Benedictine order). He founded twelve communities for monks at Subiaco, Lazio, before moving to Monte Cassino in the mountains of southern Italy. The Order of Saint Benedict is of later origin and, moreover, not an 'order’ as commonly understood but merely a confederation of autonomous congregations. His main achievement, his ’Rule of Saint Benedict’, contains a set of rules for his monks to follow. Heavily influenced by the writings of John Cassian, it shows strong affinity with the Rule of the Master, but it also has a unique spirit of balance, moderation and reasonableness, which persuaded most Christian religious communities founded throughout the Middle Ages to adopt it. As a result, his Rule became one of the most influential religious rules in Western Christendom. He is believed to have died of a fever at Monte Cassino not long after his twin sister, Scholastica, and was buried in the same place as his sister. He was named patron protector of Europe by Pope Paul VI in 1964, and in 1980, Pope St. John Paul II declared him co-patron of Europe, together with Cyril and Methodius.

November 24 - Amane Kasaki (fka Gentlu) (Cure Finale)

St. Albert of Louvain: 12th century French cardinal and martyr. He is the second of two sons to Duke Godfrey III, Count of Leuven, and his first wife Margareta van Limburg, and was the brother of Henry I, Duke of Brabant. In 1188, he became the Archdeacon of Liège and later received the subdiaconate in 1191. That same year he was elected Bishop of Liège and despite the fact that he had not reached the canonical age of 30, his appointment was widely approved. Gilbert of Mons, chancellor of Count Baldwin V of Hainaut, who attended the election, along with other princes and nobles, described the proceedings as a power struggle between Albert's brother Henry and Baldwin. Albert took the matter to Rome and appealed to Pope Celestine III. In May 1192, Pope Celestine III made Albert a cardinal, and ordained him in Rome as a deacon on 30 May 1192. He was then ordained to the priesthood on 19 September 1192 by Cardinal Guillaume de Champagne. Albert met three German knights in 1192 who persuaded him to ride on horseback with them outside of Reims. Outside of the city they attacked Albert with their swords and struck him on the head which crushed his skull and caused him to fall, where they made sure they killed him prior to making an escape.

Behind Conad

It’s yet another dreary rainy day. I’m in Castel di Leva to pick up Sa. Had coffee at the bar, then went to the store to avoid being in the rain. Now I’m in the car, across from a car port with a banged-up black Fiat Uno with the windshield missing and a pair of pink high heels sitting on the hood, as if put there for a purpose. Or as a sign? Like, honey, I’m back, left the shoes on the ride, come visit me upstairs.

I’m typing away on the touchpad, hitting the wrong letters sometimes. My fingers are too big. The phone keeps suggesting things.

Will have to write something using that feature. “Automatic writing.”

But not here right now.

Santa Severa’s Castle is one of the most evocative places of the Lazio region, located along the Tyrrhenian coast in the north of Rome, is a heritage of inestimable value both historical and cultural. 

The castle of Santa Severa dates back to the 14th century, and has the typical fairy-tale silhouette of mediaeval fortresses. It is located in the hamlet of Santa Severa, which belongs to the municipality of Santa Marinella, a few kilometres north of Rome, in Lazio.

The castle dominates the landscape between the beach and the sea. With its unique settings, where explorers, merchants and conquerors once stayed, a visit to Santa Severa Castle is a very interesting experience.

The structure of the real Castle, however, dates back to the XIV century. A moat surrounded the structure, with a rectangular plan with corner towers, and connected it by a wooden bridge to the imposing cylindrical fortification, the “Maschio”, formerly called “La Torre del Castello”. Pope Leo X built it in the mid-ninth century and, following further reconstruction, it continues to this day in its XVI-XVII century structure.

E’ stato realizzato con la collaborazione dell’Associazione nazionale “Città della birra” e dall’associazione di produttori “Marche di birra” e presentato ad Ancona, a Palazzo Leopardi, alla presenza dell’assessore regionale Andrea Maria Antonini e, per l’Associazione nazionale “Città della birra”, del vice presidente Giovanni Breccia, sindaco di Monte Porzio, del direttore Luca Marcelli e di Massimo Cardellini, consigliere delegato dal Comune di Apecchio, dove ha sede l’associazione. “La birra, dunque – ha affermato Antonini - come porta di accesso diffusa sul territorio e veicolo di conoscenza della vasta gamma di offerte turistiche esperienziali, soprattutto legate all’ambiente, che le Marche sono in grado di offrire ai visitatori”. “La produzione della birra – ha ricordato Antonini - ha assunto ormai un ruolo importante tant’è che numerosi sono i birrifici artigianali e agricoli che si sono attrezzati per accogliere i turisti che desiderano degustare la birra direttamente in azienda. Una crescita esponenziale che, dopo Toscana e Lazio, fa delle Marche la regione dell’Italia centrale con la più alta concentrazione di microbirrifici. Un dato che è testimonianza della vitalità del comparto e dei birrifici marchigiani, la maggior parte dei quali sono gestiti da giovani imprenditori che hanno manifestato un forte spirito d’iniziativa impegnandosi in un settore innovativo”. “Molti birrifici poi – ha detto l’assessore – si trovano nell’entroterra, per questo la loro promozione si intreccia con quella legata ai borghi marchigiani”. Nelle Marche esistono oltre 40 birrifici tra agricoli, artigianali e sono circa 700.000 gli appassionati di birra artigianale. Le Marche, inoltre, sono la quinta regione in Italia per produzione di orzo e i suoi birrifici producono oltre 300 tipi di birre. La Regione si è anche dotata di una legge apposita di promozione e valorizzazione della birra artigianale ed agricola, la quale prevede l’individuazione di un soggetto per l’attuazione di queste specifiche azioni, individuato tramite bando, nell’Associazione nazionale “Città della birra”. Quest’ultima, è nata nel 2015 e il suo presidente è il sindaco di Apecchio, Vittorio Nicolucci. Attualmente riunisce 23 Comuni, di cui 21 marchigiani (Apecchio, Sassocorvaro, Monte Cerignone, Pesaro, Fermignano, Colli al Metauro, Fano, Monte Porzio, Cantiano, Serra Sant’Abbondio, San Lorenzo in Campo, Arcevia, Corinaldo, Monsano, Cupramontana, Serrapetrona, Morrovalle, Colmurano, Ripe San Ginesio, Petritoli, Comunanza) e il Comune di Montone in Umbria e quello di Fossa in Abruzzo. Nel corso della conferenza stampa è stato presentato il portale www.stradedellabirra.it che contiene una sezione dedicata alla commercializzazione dei prodotti, alle degustazioni e alle visite nei birrifici, offrendo una panoramica sugli eventi, musei e punti di interesse, attività sportive, culturali e di svago, strutture ricettive e ristoranti. “Sarà un portale interattivo – ha detto Luca Marcelli - che consentirà al visitatore di interagire attivamente e condividere la propria esperienza: a tal fine è stata introdotta la possibilità di creare contenuti, esprimere valutazioni e condividere le impressioni e le emozioni del viaggio o dell’esperienza vissuta, anche attraverso i canali social”. Prevista anche una versione mobile del portale che permette una navigazione facile da qualsiasi tipo di device. Ma davvero innovativo sarà il “Passaporto per gli aloturisti”, quale vero e proprio strumento di fidelizzazione dei beer lovers, che sarà possibile scaricare dal sito. A tale scopo è stata creata una versione elettronica del passaporto. Ad ogni checkpoint, presso un birrificio, un ristorante o bar affiliato, il turista può ottenere sconti e agevolazioni sull’acquisto di prodotti nei birrifici, nei musei, nei ristoranti e nelle attività ricettive presenti sul portale. Il progetto prevede anche altre attività, a cominciare dalla realizzazione di una campagna fotografica e di video promozionali, visibili sul canale YouTube di “Città della Birra”, alla rivisitazione e ristampa della mappa regionale dei birrifici, con l’integrazione dei ventuno Comuni aderenti all’associazione ed un elenco dettagliato ed aggiornato dei birrifici attivi nel territorio regionale.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article
