From the Archives 27: Theodore Roosevelt, The Right of the People to Rule (1912)

He ultimately split the Republican vote and caused the election of Woodrow Wilson.In his speech, Roosevelt extols the virtues of democracy and objects to reactionary conservatives. Among other things, he argues that the failure to listen to the voice of the people led to the failure of the French revolution.This recording is part of the Library of Congress, "Theodore Roosevelt: His Life and Times on Film" collection.

Pizza DIXIT Giuseppe A. D'Angelo Mi chiamo Giuseppe A. D'Angelo, e la mia passione è la pizza napoletana. Sapete, quella che "come la fanno a Napoli non la fanno da nessuna parte”. Questa affermazione poteva essere vera forse fino al decennio scorso. Ma negli ultimi anni la pizza napoletana si è affermata nel resto d’Italia e del mondo. La Campania resta però il suo centro nevralgico. Ed infatti il viaggio alla scoperta della pizza è anche un viaggio alla scoperta della Campania, terra ancora poco conosciuta al di là delle sue coste, ma che sa regalare emozioni indescrivibili. Lo sapevate ad esempio che a Capua abbiamo il secondo anfiteatro più grande dell’antica Roma dopo il Colosseo? O che a Salerno vi è un orto botanico attivo dal Medioevo e in uso dalla scuola medica più antica d’Europa? Pizzerie situate in borghi poco conosciuti, a pochi passi da attrazioni storiche importanti o anche solo posizionate in scenari di imponente bellezza.
