class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;L'ho vista di recente in televisione e sono stato colpito dalla incredibile differenza tra lei e tutti gli altri e soprattutto dal fatto che nonostante gli altri cercassero più volte di metterla in difficoltà lei non si scomponeva neanche di un millimetro sospinta da una forza invisibile ma chiarissima nella sua potenza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Direi che il suo mondo ormai è quello della grazia di Dio ma nonostante adesso lei parli una lingua diversa da tutti gli altri soprattutto in un mondo come quello della televisione lei non si sottrae a queste partecipazioni e non ha paura del giudizio della gente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Attualmente Claudia Koll, oltre a continuare la sua carriera artistica, è impegnata in attività di carità con vari progetti in Africa ed ha fondato un'associazione:Le opere del padre che si dedica proprio all'aiuto dei più bisognosi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Perché secondo me Claudia Koll è una

vita difficile fatta di sberleffi, delusioni e diffidenza nel suo ambiente tant'è vero che si vede sempre più di rado al cinema ed in televisione e nonostante questo si espone comunque pubblicamente parlando una lingua che non è più quella televisiva, che sempre più spesso è la lingua della superficialità, e dimostrando a mio parere una marcia in più...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Durand de La Penne, con uno sforzo fisico sovraumano riuscì a recuperare il &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Maiale &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;e ad agganciarlo finalmente sotto la chiglia della corazzata.&lt;br /&gt;Sfinito, Durand de La Penne emerse dal fondo e trovò Bianchi (svenuto per un'avaria del suo respiratore ad ossigeno) tentò quindi, trasportando il suo compagno, di raggiungere il molo ma fu avvistato e catturato dalle sentinelle britanniche.&lt;br /&gt;I due valorosi vennero subito interrogati dagli ufficiali della &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Valiant &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;ma naturalmente risposero solo con il loro grado e numero di matricola. L'Ammiraglio Cunningham, comandante in capo della Mediterranean Fleet venne svegliato nel cuore della notte e subito informato dei fatti: egli immediatamente realizzò quale pericolo stavano per correre le sue navi. &lt;br /&gt;Cunningham ordinò quindi che i due italiani venissero subito rinchiusi nella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Valiant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt; ben al di sotto della linea di gallaggiamento, nella speranza di spaventarli e farli confessare dove fosse la carica esplosiva. Una volta rinchiusi, Durand de La Penne disse a Bianchi (naturalmente in italiano) che se per loro non c'era più speranza potevano morire felici perchè la loro missione aveva avuto successo (la carica sarebbe esplosa dopo tre ore).&lt;br /&gt;Qualche tempo dopo si sentì una esplosione enorme: era il &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Maiale &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;di Marceglia e Schergat che distrusse la petroliera &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Sagona &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;e danneggiò il caccia &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Jervis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;Dopo 3 lunghe e snervanti ore Durand de La Penne guardò il suo orologio: 10 minuti all'esplosione! Egli chiese allora di parlare con il comandante della &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Valiant &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Capitano Charles Morgan. &lt;br /&gt;"Comandante, le suggerisco di evacuare la sua nave e salvare il suo equipaggio: la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;Valiant &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;espoderà in pochi minuti" disse Durand de La Penne. &lt;br /&gt;Morgan gli chiese dove fosse la carica, ma Durand de La Penne non rispose e fu nuovamente portato nella sua cella sottobordo mentre i britannici evacuarono la nave. Una terrificante esplosione scosse la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:

dall'annegamento (i britannici furono leali e non lo chiusero a chiave). &lt;br /&gt;Al suo passaggio tutto l'equipaggio britannico si alzò in piedi e qualche minuto dopo si sentì una terza grande esplosione: era la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255,

quale sia l'ultima volta in cui ho pianto tornerei indietro con la memoria ad una data: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;19 luglio 1992&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255,

immagini in televisione e di aver pianto dopo aver sentito che l'attentato era stato contro Paolo Borsellino, un pianto di rabbia per il fatto di vivere in un paese che non era riuscito a difendere un suo servitore che tutti, lui per primo, sapevano essere nel mirino della mafia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;br

style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Questo blog vuole cominciare il suo omaggio agli eroi sconosciuti partendo proprio da una ragazza protagonista di quella vicenda anche se indirettamente:Rita Atria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Rita Atria (1974-1992): Rita appartiene ad una famiglia di mafiosi, conosce e in parte condivide le "regole", quando uccidono prima il padre e poi il fratello che tenta di vendicarne la morte. Rita vuole vendicarli e l'unico modo che ritiene possibile è quello di collaborare con la magistratura e così conosce Paolo Borsellino. Rita Atria lo individua come figura forte, che magnificamente si colloca a coprire il totale vuoto di affetti che è nella sua vita, e se ne innammora, come una dolce figlia con un padre generoso ed autorevole, come ricorda il magistrato Alessandra Camassa, che aveva seguito l'Atria sin dall'inizio del nuovo corso della sua vita. Quando apprende della morte di Borsellino, Rita drammaticamente scrive nel suo diario: "Ora che è morto Borsellino, nessuno può capire che vuoto ha lasciato nella mia vita... Prima di combattere la mafia devi farti un auto-esame di coscienza e poi, dopo aver sconfitto la mafia dentro di te, puoi combattere la mafia che è nel giro dei tuoi amici, la mafia siamo noi e il nostro modo sbagliato di comportarsi. Borsellino, sei morto per ciò in cui credevi, ma io senza di te sono morta". Una settimana dopo la morte del "suo" Paolo, avendo ormai perduto tutti i punti di riferimento, volendo raggiungere le persone che amava, si lanciò nel vuoto dal settimo piano della casa che il servizio di protezione le aveva concesso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
