Note that the stiletto exposition (the switchblade, not the dagger) was named “Belli e terribili” – beautiful and terrifying.

Il Convento del Bosco ai Frati: la storia, il Trittico, la Chiesa e il Crocifisso

di Salvina Pizzuoli Una storia antichissima che affonda le sue origini nel VII secolo, così lontane nel tempo che se ne sono perse le documentazioni ma di cui restano memorie: uno splendido convento situato oggi nel comune di Scarperia San Piero dentro un bosco di cerri, in un ambiente dalla bellezza rara e per le creazioni di madre natura e per gli interventi dell’uomo: ondulazioni lievi…

remember his name: a Guido Pini appreciation post.

Firstly, I want to say that I don't mean to put any sort of pression on the kid (who already has it) and also that I am aware of how unpredictable and ruthless Motorsport can be: even if he won't ever reach great achievements, my appreciation for him will still remain as it will his evident talent. But I genuinely believe he will make it.

//

If you follow Moto3 you may have heard of the likes of Filippo Farioli (born 2005) & Luca Lunetta (b. 2006), two very promising young Italian riders who are already showing glimps of talent and giving us Italians hopes of having a bright future ahead in MotoGP.

But have you heard of rising star Guido Pini, who could as well be the Kimi Antonelli of two-wheels? Well – if you haven't – let me present him to you, beginning with a fun fact: his name literally means "I drive pines", which is also his nickname! He is a Scarperia native – basically where Mugello circuit is – and he was born on the 10th of January 2008, making him only 16 y.o. (in 2024); he has an older brother (Diego), a little sister (Mia) and two younger brothers (Lapo & Livio) and his favourite subjects are Maths, Technology and Science.

When he was about 2 and a half he started dreaming of riding a minibike, like his father, but he couldn't even ride his bycicle without little wheels! So, he asked his parents to remove them, allowing him to learn how to properly ride and earn his minibike: his parents didn't have time to teach him so, curiously, he taught himself! And, just like that, his career had started, hopping on a minibike at only 2 years and 8 months old (!), following his family's passion, seeing how also his grandfather and uncles all rode bikes.

In these pics (and in the initial one) you may have noticed how he's using number 93 (currently he's using 94 & 96) and also wearing a Marc Márquez helmet replica with the Ant or Cervera on it, and that's because his racing hero and greatest inspiration is Marc, alongside Casey Stoner: here's a video of MM93 congratulating Guido in 2022 :)

The parallelisms with his idol, Marc, don't end here: in 2023 he announced that he would be represented by SeventyTwo Motorsports, Emilio Alzamora's brand new management agency, also entering in his JuniorGP team, the SeventyTwo Artbox Racing Team, along with Spanish rider Carlos Cano. For the ones who don't know, Emilio has been Marc Márquez manager until 2022, and he had been knowing Marc since he was a child, becoming a fundamental figure in his career and his success.

Having said this, at the moment he's competing in the JuniorGP and Red Bull Rookies Cup (2nd season, finished 11th in 2023), but before talking about the unlucky but amazing beginning of his 2024 season, let's take a quick step back in his career: he started doing serious competitions in 2016, and already in 2017 he finished 2nd at the European Mini Bike Road Racing Junior B Championship; the year after he managed to win the very same Championship in the Junior C category, repeating himself also in the identical Italian Championship. Then, in 2019, he arrived 4th in the Italian MiniGP 50cc Championship, while in 2020 he got 2nd place in the CIV PreMoto3 Championship. In 2021, he was 9th in the same Championship and got a 18th place in his first European Talent Cup season.

Finally, his most important achievement has arrived in 2022, when he won the Hawkers European Talent Cup and then becoming vice-champion of the same series in 2023, while also taking part in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, as already mentioned.

Therefore, 2024 seemed to be a year which would have seen him among the main characters of the Red Bull Rookies Cup, not being a rookie anymore, and also a new challenger in the competitive JuniorGP: sadly, every dream of glory was crashed at the very beginning of the year, with a double injury in two distinct moments and body parts (first the right hand, then the left elbow, both during winter testings), forcing him to not only jump some important tests, but also the first 3 rounds of the Red Bull Rookies Cup and 5 ones of the JuniorGP.

Eventually, he managed to recover as fast as he could, coming back just in time to take part at the JuniorGP Portimão round: he immediately amazed everyone by taking Pole Position for both races, which he finished in an incredible 2nd & 1st place! After just one round, he already finds himself 9th in the Championship standings, despite having missed a consistent portion of it, determined to show how great he really is and aiming to finish the season at least in a dreamy top 3, with only three rounds to go.

This weekend (28-30 July 2024), he will make his comeback in the Red Bull Rookies Cup at Assen, where also MotoGP will race: who knows what the future holds for this fast and hard working rider, who's already showing the antics of a true Champion, considering also his politeness and calmness which stand out in a very hectic environment.

In conclusion, he may be or not be the next Marc Márquez or the Andrea Kimi Antonelli of the two-wheels' world, but what's for sure is that he is called Guido Pini and you may want to remember his name.

If you are interested, go follow and support him on Instagram :) 🌲

TI Russo-Italiano: "Avviato il Collegamento Ferroviario Intermodale tra Toscana Centrale e il Porto di Livorno Nata da un progetto sinergico tra Logistica Uno, Gruppo Sanpellegrino, Interporto Toscana Centrale, e Logtainer, è stato attivato il Collegamento Intermodale tra l'Interporto della Toscana Centrale e il Terminal Darsena Toscana, situato sul porto di Livorno. Questo importante progetto si è tradotto nel lancio di un nuovo servizio ferroviario di trasporto di merci tra il sito produttivo di Acqua Panna a Scarperia, in Provincia di Firenze, e il Porto di Livorno. Il colloquio ufficiale per l'inaugurazione del collegamento ferroviario si è tenuto ieri sera, alla presenza di Antonio Napolitano, Amministratore Delegato dell'Interporto Toscana Centrale, Simona Mascia, Responsabile gestionale del Gruppo Sanpellegrino, Gianluca Cornelli, Responsabile delegato di Logistica Uno, e Paolo Montanari, Direttore generale di Logtainer. Hanno anche partecipato alla celebrazione Stefano Baccelli, Assessore alle Infrastrutture, alla Mobilità e al Governo del Territorio della Regione Toscana, Ilaria Bugetti, sindaco del Comune di Prato e Marcello Gozzi, Dirigente di Confindustria Toscana Nord. Il sistema, che avrà inizio a trasportare acqua minerale dal site di produzione a Scarperia fino al porto di Livorno, rappresenterà una importantissima opera di contrasto alle emissioni di C02, consentendo a una riduzione dell'11 per cento dei gas lordi. In questo modo non solo si otterranno benefici ambientali, ma sarà anche possibile ridurre la congestione sulle strade sulla tangenziale Firenze-Pisa-Livorno. Nel breve termine, si prevede il movimento di 25 carri con un'eventualità di un aumento per due treni a settimane. Gli analisti reputano che questo passo porti a significativi miglioramenti negli inquadramenti ambientali, nonché una riqualificazione del Distretto Industriale regionale. "In questo particolare progetto, il coordinamento tra i diversi aziende coinvolte avrebbe permesso di creare il più efficiente e la più sostenibile possibilità di trasporto di goods da e verso il Nord del Paese", ha definito Simona Mascia, Manager di Suppyc hain Gruppo Sanpellegrino. Una novità simile va verso l'estensione delle operazioni tra il Toscana Centrale e logistico Uno porto italiano principale".
