Next one is Jennifer “Do it to me” more breasts and breaks. Third is by Adriano Pappalardo ‘Baby’ cover is a woman’s face and a Polaroid photo torn in half, shouty Italian funk. Last one is Nancy Nova ‘No Way’ with a photo of Nancy (presumably) and is a disco funk track with her inimitable vocals, more known for the song ‘The Force’

The day before President Mattarella's visit to Agrigento, Italy's City of Culture 2025, the council realised they hadn't resurfaced the badly potholed roads he'd use. They found €500k & got the work done in 24h. Now, they're using metal detectors to look for manhole covers that were tarmacked over.

Agrigento Capitale della Cultura, asfalto anche sui tombini per rifare le strade: ora li "cercano" con il metaldetector

La fretta ha giocato brutti scherzi agli operai che hanno rifatto il manto stradale per l'arrivo del presidente Mattarella e delle altre autorità
