“Il tema oggi non è soltanto quello della gestione degli impianti, ma la necessità di dare rapidamente certezze a un intero sistema economico – sottolinea Confcommercio –. Alberghi, ristoranti, attività commerciali e tutti gli operatori che lavorano con il turismo invernale hanno bisogno di conoscere per tempo quale sarà lo scenario, così da poter programmare attività, investimenti e promozione. Non possiamo arrivare a ridosso della stagione senza un quadro definito”.

“Le stagioni – aggiunge Confcommercio – sono sempre meno fredde e le condizioni di innevamento più imprevedibili. Questo rende ancora più importante poter programmare per tempo e costruire una proposta turistica capace di adattarsi ai cambiamenti. Ogni ritardo nelle decisioni rischia di avere ricadute non soltanto sulla gestione degli impianti, ma sulla capacità dell’intero territorio di presentarsi sul mercato”.

“Non possiamo ragionare sul turismo invernale come se il mercato fosse quello di venti o trent’anni fa – prosegue Confcommercio – Serve una strategia di medio e lungo periodo, che parta dalla certezza della programmazione degli impianti ma sappia anche diversificare l’offerta, valorizzare la Montagna e rafforzarne l’attrattività durante tutta la stagione. E questa strategia deve essere costruita insieme, evitando frammentazioni e sovrapposizioni che rischiano di indebolire la destinazione”.

Una manifestazione ormai entrata nella tradizione del centro storico pistoiese, che nel corso degli anni ha saputo conquistare un pubblico di appassionati e curiosi, richiamando a ogni appuntamento non soltanto gli amanti dell’antiquariato, del vintage e dell’oggettistica, ma anche quanti sono alla ricerca di pezzi particolari, oggetti d’epoca, curiosità e piccole testimonianze del passato.

Ampia l’offerta degli operatori presenti: sulle bancarelle sarà possibile trovare oggettistica, quadri, libri, pizzi e merletti, bigiotteria oltre a numerosi articoli e curiosità capaci di attirare l’attenzione anche dei semplici passanti.

Un appuntamento che unisce la dimensione commerciale a quella più propriamente culturale e di scoperta, offrendo la possibilità di passeggiare tra le bancarelle di via Roma, curiosare tra oggetti dal sapore vintage e andare alla ricerca di qualcosa di unico e originale. Un’occasione anche per visitare e apprezzare il centro storico di Pistoia.

Dopo l’appuntamento di domani, il calendario proseguirà per tutto l’autunno con altri appuntamenti in programma il 24 settembre, 27 settembre, 1 ottobre, 4 ottobre, 25 ottobre, 5 novembre e 22 novembre, sempre in Via Roma dalle 8 alle 20.

Un calendario che accompagna così la ripresa delle attività dopo l’estate e che rinnova una tradizione ormai consolidata, fatta di bancarelle, oggetti da scoprire, collezionismo, vintage e tante curiosità, nel cuore del centro storico pistoiese.

DUBLIN, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BOC Group has been placed in the Challenger Quadrant in its first inclusion in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Twin of an Organization Platforms. 

The recognition provides further validation of BOC Group’s approach to helping organizations understand how their business operates today, assess how it responds to change, and shape what comes next. Gartner highlighted BOC’s unified platform, central semantic repository, unified user experience, and native integration as strengths, reflecting the company’s approach to bringing Process Management, Enterprise Architecture, and Governance, Risk and Compliance together. 

BOC Group delivers its Digital Twin of an Organization capabilities through the Enterprise Intelligence Platform. At its core is ADONIS, which captures how work gets done across the enterprise and links natively with ADOIT for Enterprise Architecture and ADOGRC for GRC.  

Because all three products share the same platform and object-centric metamodel, information can be reused across disciplines instead of recreated in separate tools. This creates one coherent view of processes, roles, applications, data, risks, controls, and strategic initiatives – helping teams uncover dependencies, assess change, evaluate future scenarios, and coordinate transformation. 

That shared enterprise context becomes even more valuable as AI moves deeper into business operations. It gives decision-makers a more reliable basis for action while providing AI systems with the organizational context needed to generate relevant, trustworthy results. 

“Being positioned in the Challenger Quadrant in our first year in this Magic Quadrant is a strong confirmation of the direction we have taken with ADONIS”, says Tobias Rausch, ADONIS Product Manager. “Our ambition is simple: help organizations make their business run better and make AI deliver real value. Enterprise Intelligence brings those two goals together – and this recognition gives us further momentum to push that vision forward.”

The world is entering a new age of electricity, and the race is on to build the grids that will power it. The challenge is no longer to imagine the grid of the future. It is to build it quickly, at scale and through coordinated action across the entire electricity value chain. 

This was the core message at the CIGRE 2026 Paris Session, where more than 15,000 experts from 100 countries gathered along with 330 exhibitors.  

A €600bn–a–year grid imperative 

PARIS, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Electrification of transport, industry and buildings, the integration of renewables and the surge in data–center demand are pushing power systems to their limits. To keep pace, the IEA estimates that annual electricity grid investment must increase by around 50%, from about USD 400 billion today to roughly USD 600 billion per year by 2030. 

Yet delivery times remain a major bottleneck. In China, an extra–high–voltage line can be permitted and built in about 1.5 years; in India, around three years. In Europe and the United States, similar projects often take eight to ten years or more (Source IEA). 

One Grid for the energy transition 

The energy transition will succeed only if the grid of tomorrow is developed, operated, and governed as one integrated system. 

This “One Grid” approach requires all stakeholders to work together from the earliest stages of infrastructure planning and delivery: 

“No plan B, no planet B,” said Konstantin O. Papailiou, President of CIGRE, calling for collective action to build the power systems of the future.  

No electrification without skills 

Infrastructure and capital are not enough. The sector also faces a widening skills gap, with strong competition for engineers, technicians and digital specialists. Attracting and training qualified people is now critical for delivering electrification on time. 

Around eight million people are employed worldwide in constructing, maintaining and operating power grids, but the IEA estimates that the sector will need an additional 1.5 million workers by 2030. 

CIGRE is addressing this through its technical working groups and the CIGRE Fund for Innovation and Education, which supports research, scholarships and training worldwide. 

Powering the future together 

Invited to the FIERE (Filière Industrielle des Entreprises des Réseaux Électriques) event, Mr. Martin, the French Minister of Industry, visited the CIGRE exhibition. The Minister highlighted the importance of cooperation in delivering the current electrification wave and recalled that the first CIGRE conference was held in Paris in 1921. 

More than a century later, CIGRE continues to bring together the full electricity community to address shared societal, industrial and environmental challenges. 

As the world enters the new age of electricity, one conclusion stands out: one grid, one industry, one challenge—and a shared responsibility to build the power system that will enable the energy transition. 

About CIGRE 

CIGRE is a non-profit and independent organization established 100 years ago to support the development of electricity. With 25,000 members in over 140 countries, combining local expertise with global vision, the CIGRE community integrates all players in the electricity value chain. 

It brings together researchers, engineers, suppliers, regulators, and other decision makers, all committed to sharing knowledge and collaborating to ensure a reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity supply for all. 

By offering access to working groups, state-of-the-art technical publications, and world-class events such as the Paris Session, CIGRE helps its members consolidate their expertise, develop practical recommendations and find innovative solutions. 

Over the years, CIGRE has continuously adapted to the incredible growth of the electricity sector. Today, as electricity penetrates every aspect of life (homes, mobility, healthcare, industry…), CIGRE meets current societal and environmental challenges, positioning itself as a key enabler of the energy transition.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (TCAI) at St. David’s Medical Center recently became the first facility in the nation to participate in a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a next-generation mapping and pulsed field ablation system to treat patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation. Andrea Natale, M.D., F.H.R.S., F.A.C.C., F.E.S.C., executive medical director of TCAI and the global principal investigator for the trial, performed the first procedure. 

Atrial fibrillation, the most common type of arrhythmia, affects millions of people globally. It occurs when the top two chambers of the heart beat too fast and with an irregular rhythm. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is an arrhythmia with symptoms that last for seven days or fewer, while persistent atrial fibrillation is a sustained arrhythmia that lasts for more than a week. Early treatment of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation can reduce the risk of blood clots, stroke and heart failure—and may prevent the disease from becoming permanent. 

“Pulsed field ablation represents one of the most significant advancements in electrophysiology in decades, and this clinical trial will help physicians around the world better understand the safety and effectiveness of this technology,” Dr. Natale said. “The Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute remains at the forefront of arrhythmia care, helping to advance technologies that will shape the future of electrophysiology.” 

The novel catheter system relies on electric fields to ablate targeted heart tissue without using the excess heat or cold used in traditional ablation, helping to reduce the risk of damage to surrounding structures. The system incorporates advanced 3D cardiac mapping technology that provides a detailed view of the heart’s electrical activity, enabling physicians to visualize catheter position and tissue contact before and after the energy is delivered. During a traditional ablation procedure, a catheter is guided into the interior of the heart and uses extreme heat or cold to destroy tissue associated with abnormal heart rhythms, creating a greater chance that surrounding structures will be damaged. 

TCAI is a state-of-the-art Electrophysiology Center that includes six labs equipped with advanced technology where a group of renowned cardiac electrophysiologists perform a high volume of the most complex electrophysiology procedures.

MONACO DI BAVIERA, GERMANIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 settembre 2026 – Style3D integra l’intelligenza artificiale generativa, la tecnologia 3D e i dati strutturati sui prodotti per aiutare i team del settore della moda a passare dalle idee a flussi di lavoro integrati, dalla progettazione allo sviluppo, dai contenuti alla produzione. 

Un esempio è GarmageNet, sviluppato da Style3D Research in collaborazione con l’Università di Zhejiang, l’Università Jiao Tong di Shanghai e l’Università di Scienze e Tecnologia di Zhejiang. Pubblicato su *ACM Transactions on Graphics* e presentato al SIGGRAPH Asia 2025, l’articolo affronta una sfida fondamentale nel campo dell’intelligenza artificiale applicata alla moda: collegare i modelli 2D alle forme tridimensionali dei capi di abbigliamento. 

Il framework integra sagome dei cartamodelli, geometria 3D e informazioni di cucitura in una rappresentazione unificata. Accetta come input testi, schizzi, immagini, cartamodelli o nuvole di punti e li trasforma in asset strutturati, ricostruendo le relazioni di cucitura e predisponendo la simulazione fisica. In questo modo, supporta l’esplorazione del design, la realizzazione di campioni digitali e le attività di modifica. Collegando gli input ai cartamodelli, alle relazioni di cucitura e alla simulazione, GarmageNet illustra come l’intelligenza artificiale applicata alla moda possa diventare parte integrante di un flusso di lavoro integrato per lo sviluppo dei prodotti, anziché rimanere uno strumento isolato per la generazione di immagini. 

GarmageNet si avvale del supporto di GarmageSet, un dataset composto da 14.801 capi di abbigliamento realizzati da professionisti. Nelle valutazioni riportate nell’articolo, GarmageJigsaw ha raggiunto una precisione del 99,16% e un recall del 97,13% nell’identificazione dei punti di cucitura. GarmageNet ha raggiunto un tasso di successo nell’inizializzazione della simulazione pari al 91,41% su 150 cartamodelli complessi, con un tempo di inferenza riportato di circa otto secondi per capo nelle condizioni di prova dello studio. 

La ricerca riflette le competenze di Style3D nei settori della simulazione di oggetti deformabili, della deformazione dei capi di abbigliamento, nei tessuti digitali e nei flussi di lavoro assistiti dall’intelligenza artificiale.

iRobot’s new flagship robot pairs proprietary SealForce™ Vacuuming Technology with Dual-Action Heated Mopping System to deliver the ultimate pro-level clean  

BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — iRobot Corp., the maker of Roomba, and a leader in consumer robotics and intelligent floor care, today introduced the Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot + AutoWash™ Dock, its most advanced Roomba® robot to date. The robot brings new and advanced technologies to market, led by iRobot’s proprietary active SealForce™ Vacuuming Technology, which changes how a robot vacuum concentrates airflow and suction power for deeper carpet cleaning. 

The Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot delivers the company’s best floor cleaning performance to date, applying more than 35 years of robotics engineering to the aspects of floor care that today’s consumer demands: deep carpet cleaning, dried-on mess removal, and rug protection while mopping. 

At the forefront of these advancements is iRobot’s proprietary SealForce™ Vacuuming Technology, a mechanical rethinking of how a robot vacuum meets carpet. Rather than relying on suction alone, the chassis lowers a skirt that forms a tight seal against carpet fibres, concentrating vacuuming power precisely where debris hides. Paired with 20 L/s of tornado-like airflow and 35,000 Pa suction, SealForce™ delivers 3x deeper carpet cleaning2 and iRobot’s best pickup performance to date. 

“With the Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot, we not only increased overall suction power, but also changed how that suction gets applied to the carpet,” said Adam Pope, Vice President and Chief Engineer, iRobot. “With SealForce™, we’re able to seal the chassis against the carpet fibres, so the airflow, which has the greatest impact on pickup performance, has somewhere to go instead of escaping around the edges. More suction helps, but the seal is what takes it to a level beyond what’s previously been possible.” 

The Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot applies this same consumer-driven, problem-first engineering to mopping. iRobot’s ultrasonic ThermaMist™ Technology sprays heated mist continuously while mopping, softening and loosening dried-on spills so tough stains lift in a single cleaning routine, with no manual scrubbing, for 2x better stain removal3. iRobot’s new continuously self-cleaning PowerSpin™ Max Roller Mop, the industry’s largest, then scrubs with heated water at 300 RPM roller speed and 18 Newtons of downward pressure for 3.75x deeper scrubbing4 and 1.2x wider coverage per pass5. 

Finally, the Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot features iRobot’s patented, AI-powered DriLift™ Technology, which automatically detects carpet, raises the mop and lowers a protective shield to keep rugs and carpets dry throughout the clean. 

“iRobot pioneered this category more than two decades ago, and more than 50 million robots later, we continue to define its future,” said Jennifer Lichtenheim, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Americas, iRobot. “With the Roomba® Max 875 Combo Robot, we’ve delivered our most advanced robot to date, delivering the ultimate clean, completely hands-free. And, importantly, we’ve addressed critical pain points consumers have told us they want us to solve for. We’re continuing to push home robotics further, so people can spend less time cleaning and more time doing what they love.”

CGTN published an article exploring how the SCO has evolved from a security-focused mechanism into a comprehensive regional cooperation platform covering areas such as economic development and technological innovation and what role China has played in advancing cooperation within the organization. 

BEIJING, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Deep in Uzbekistan’s Jizzakh Region, a vast solar farm is transforming the landscape of the Gobi Desert. Tens of thousands of photovoltaic panels stretch across the barren land, capturing sunlight to generate clean energy. 

In March, Phase I of the power plant project, built and operated by a Chinese company, began commercial operations. Once fully completed, the project is expected to generate 1.1 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, enough to meet the needs of around 400,000 residents. 

The solar plant is one of the latest examples of China-SCO cooperation translating into tangible development outcomes. Over the past 25 years, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has expanded from a regional security mechanism into a broad platform for cooperation, with development becoming an increasingly important focus. 

Prioritizing development to boost shared prosperity 

On Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO Member States, which coincided with the 25th anniversary of the organization’s founding. 

During his speech, Xi put forward four proposals for advancing the SCO’s future development. One key proposal he emphasized was to prioritize development and work toward shared prosperity among SCO member states. 

He also highlighted the Shanghai Spirit, featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations and pursuit of common development, saying the Shanghai Spirit is the organization’s most valuable spiritual asset. 

Over the past 25 years, guided by the Shanghai Spirit, the SCO has seen growing trade, deeper investment ties and stronger regional connectivity, creating new opportunities for economic development across the region. 

The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, for instance, shows how infrastructure cooperation is driving regional development. In December 2024, its construction officially began. Once completed, the route will become a major transport corridor linking China with Central Asia and the wider Eurasian continent, greatly improving trade efficiency and creating broader economic opportunities. 

Various cooperation platforms are also facilitating closer economic exchanges among SCO states. Last month, a local economic and trade cooperation conference was held in Bishkek, bringing together more than 100 companies. The event resulted in 193 cooperation agreements and trade deals worth around 1.74 billion yuan ($259 million). Meanwhile, the China-SCO Digital Economy Cooperation Platform, launched in Tianjin one year ago, has already facilitated 29 cross-border cooperation projects covering areas such as computing infrastructure, digital trade and commercial aerospace. 

Over the past 25 years, the SCO has evolved into a major regional cooperation platform. Its economic cooperation is shifting from individual projects to stronger institutional frameworks and from bilateral efforts to multilateral coordination, paving the way for more integrated, high-quality and sustainable development across the region. 

China: A strong promoter of SCO cooperation 

At Tuesday’s summit, Xi said China views the SCO as a priority area for high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and for implementing the Global Development Initiative. 

He announced that China would continue hosting events such as the SCO Digital Economy Forum and the SCO Agricultural Expo and will develop an international AI application cooperation center with SCO countries, implement 100 technological cooperation projects with other SCO countries in the next three years and nurture more green industry talents through China-SCO cooperation. 

As a founding member of the SCO, China has been a key driver of practical cooperation within the organization. 

Shortly after the SCO was founded, China proposed advancing trade and investment facilitation among member states. In 2003, the SCO adopted a multilateral economic cooperation program featuring a three-stage roadmap: promoting trade and investment facilitation in the short term, building stable and transparent rules in the medium term and gradually enabling freer flows of goods, capital, services and technology in the long term. 

China has also provided financial support for regional cooperation projects. As of July 2025, China’s accumulated investment in other SCO member states had exceeded $84 billion, making it the largest source of investment and financing for Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Pakistan. 

At last year’s Tianjin Summit, China proposed establishing cooperation platforms in energy, green industries and the digital economy, along with centers for scientific innovation, higher education and vocational education. All six initiatives have since been launched, generating more than 160 cooperation projects covering clean energy, digital applications and joint talent development. 

Egor Prokhin, a researcher at Russia’s Higher School of Economics, said China has played a central role in the SCO’s development. 

“The Belt and Road Initiative has helped improve transportation and trade connectivity among Eurasian countries, while the Global Development Initiative has contributed to economic growth and improved livelihoods,” he said, adding these initiatives closely align with the development priorities of SCO members, creating opportunities for businesses and bringing tangible benefits to people across the region.

First mission of Sceye’s Service Test Program travels more than 15,000 km from New Mexico to Japan in the stratosphere, backhauls into SoftBank Corp.’s core network, verifies Direct-to-Device and edge computing capabilities and HAPS-based communications with drones. 

TOKYO, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sceye, a U.S. aerospace and material science company specializing in High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) for telecommunications and real-time environmental monitoring, today announced the successful trans-Pacific flight of its Service Test 1 (ST1) mission from New Mexico to Japan. Traveling more than 15,000 km through the stratosphere in 13 days, upon arrival over Japan, ST1 demonstrated mobile broadband connectivity to unmodified devices through SoftBank Corp.’s core network and HAPS-based edge computing and communication with drones to support the development of a 3D communications network. 

Conducted in partnership with SoftBank Corp. (TOKYO:9434, “SoftBank”), a leading operator of telecommunications and IT businesses in Japan and globally, ST1 marks Sceye’s first flight to Asia and a groundbreaking milestone towards the commercial deployment of HAPS as stratospheric infrastructure. 

“This flight marks a defining moment for Sceye and for the commercial potential of HAPS,” said Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen, Founder and CEO of Sceye. “Flying from the US to Japan demonstrates the performance required to make the stratosphere a viable layer of infrastructure and realize the future of AI, edge computing, and 6G. Together with SoftBank, we are moving beyond proving the technology to demonstrating how Sceye can complement and extend existing networks and deliver persistent connectivity at scale.” 

The stratosphere offers the optimal vantage point: It is close enough to Earth for high-capacity connectivity and observation, yet the altitude is high enough for wide-area reach. Importantly, the stratosphere offers space-like conditions without the cost of being in space and the disadvantages of being in orbit. Sceye’s HAPS maintain altitude and their area of operation in the stratosphere through consecutive day and night cycles, operating like geostationary satellites, only 1,800 times closer to Earth and at a fraction of the cost. 

In 2025, SoftBank Corp. invested in Sceye’s HAPS-based stratospheric infrastructure as a scalable solution to complement terrestrial towers and satellite constellations. The strategic partnership advances a shared vision for HAPS and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) as transformative infrastructure that can expand connectivity, support communications during disasters, and enable future applications across AI, IoT, aerial communications, edge computing, and 6G. 

ST1 carried SceyeCELL, a first-of-its-kind “cell tower in the sky” designed to deliver wide-area mobile broadband directly to standard devices from the stratosphere. When deployed at full scale, one Sceye HAPS is designed to cover the equivalent area of approximately 500 terrestrial towers. During the ST1 mission, Sceye and SoftBank demonstrated mobile broadband from the stratosphere, including text messaging, voice calls, internet access, and video streaming. Testing also included emergency calls, using an emergency alert messaging system designed for large-scale disasters, and communications with drones. 

Sceye’s ST1 mission launched on August 9, 2026 at 7:00 AM MDT from New Mexico. Additional notable mission attributes include: 

ST1 remains in flight, returning towards the United States over the Pacific Ocean at the time of this announcement. 

“SoftBank aims to build next-generation communications infrastructure that seamlessly connects the ground, the sky, and space. The fact that Sceye’s HAPS reached Japan from the United States and successfully provided Japan’s first trial services from the stratosphere in Japan’s airspace marks an important step toward the commercialization of HAPS, which is at the core of this vision,” said Junichi Miyakawa, President & CEO of SoftBank Corp. “By combining the HAPS flight and operational technologies that Sceye has developed with SoftBank’s communications technologies, we have gained confidence to realize a three-dimensional communications network utilizing HAPS. Going forward, in collaboration with Sceye, we will continue to integrate a wide range of technologies, including communications and AI, to develop HAPS into a new form of social infrastructure.” 

This flight builds on Sceye’s Endurance Program, completed earlier this year, when its SE2 HAPS traveled more than 10,000 km in the stratosphere from New Mexico to the coast of Brazil where it stayed over its area of operation for several days to test long-duration performance in preparation for the Service Test Program, the first of which flew to Japan. 

About SceyeFounded in 2014, Sceye (pronounced “sky”) is an aerospace company dedicated to advancing stratospheric technology to connect people and protect the planet. Sceye leads the High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) industry, focusing on universal connectivity, climate monitoring, natural resource management, and disaster prevention.

“Per me è stato fondamentale rinnovare questa collaborazione col Pistoia Basket – così Manuele Lo Conte – Siamo arrivati al quarto anno di un rapporto che ha rappresentato un’apertura totale sul territorio e che continua ad evolversi. Così come continua a svilupparsi, anche grazie al lavoro del direttore sportivo Sartori, la collaborazione tra i settori giovanili di Pistoia e Pallacanestro Prato Dragons che è assolutamente essenziale per la crescita del nostro movimento toscano e proiettarlo nel panorama nazionale. Per noi riconfermare il progetto e stare al fianco del presidente David è un vero onore: una persona che viene da fuori e investe nel territorio va solamente lodata e stimata”.

Ad introdurre Schina ci ha pensato, come sempre, il direttore sportivo del Pistoia Basket Mauro Sartori, raccontando appunto la scelta del numero 8 biancorosso e anche un aneddoto molto curioso.

“Matteo Schina prima di tutto mi riporta con la mente a ricordi di quarant’anni fa, quando arrivai a Trieste per la mia prima esperienza da giocatore professionista agli ordini di coach Boscha Tanjevic – questa la premessa del diesse Sartori – Lui ci portava sempre ad esempio la squadra locale di pallamano che in quegli anni stava facendo la storia vincendo trofei: in quella squadra giocava anche il papà di Matteo. Tanjevic ci parlava dell’etica del lavoro di quel team e posso dire che, dopo averlo seguito negli ultimi anni, ho ravvisato lo stesso spirito anche in Matteo. Sono quindi contento di averlo portato qui: è un ragazzo che viene da una lunga gavetta, confermando i suoi valori sia come giocatore che come persona. Sono sicuro che ci darà grandi soddisfazioni lungo l’arco della stagione”.

Infine è arrivato il momento, per il play nativo di Trieste, il momento di parlare per la prima volta ai microfoni della sala hospitality della LumoSquare. In prima istanza, Schina ha raccontato del suo rapporto con coach Franco Ciani e della loro importante esperienza in quel di Torino, in cui si sono ritrovati a giocare una finale promozione proprio contro Pistoia.

“Come ha detto il direttore Sartori il lavoro è la forza motrice che mi porta avanti ogni giorno, quindi posso dire che è questo ciò che posso portare alla causa – le prime parole di Schina – Poi voglio mettere la mia energia, la mia positività verso i compagni di squadra e dello staff. Sicuramente la presenza di coach Ciani ha inciso tanto nella mia scelta di venire a Pistoia: conosco il suo metodo di lavoro e quindi ciò che mi aspetta lungo l’arco della preparazione e della stagione. Sapendo che la struttura di lavoro sarebbe stata affidabile, la mia decisione è stata fin troppo facile. I miei ricordi della finale play-off? Ne ho parlato spesso con Saccaggi, prendendomi anche la mia buona dose di sfottò. Ma soprattutto mi è rimasta l’opportunità di calcare questo parquet e sentire direttamente il calore del pubblico pistoiese, che so essere rimasto al fianco della squadra anche in momenti decisamente più difficili”.

Per concludere il numero 8 biancorosso ha parlato delle proprie aspettative in vista della nuova stagione e del processo di costruzione della squadra dopo poche settimane dall’inizio del raduno.

“Credo che abbiamo l’opportunità e la possibilità di competere con tutte le altre squadre del campionato: la nostra capacità di essere costanti lungo l’arco della stagione ci dirà quante possibilità abbiamo nel raggiungere certi obiettivi. Essendo poi solo in pre-season penso che abbiamo ancora molti margini di miglioramento. Pistoia è una piazza con grande tradizione: dovremo essere bravi noi a coinvolgere i tifosi ad ogni partita. Le prime due amichevoli? Penso che contro la Fortitudo abbiamo tirato fuori un’ottima prestazione di squadra, mentre con Montecatini abbiamo fatto qualche passo indietro. Dal punto di vista dell’ambientamento e dell’affiatamento, tutto procede molto bene: vedo disponibilità da parte di tutti nel fare quello step in più ad ogni allenamento e partita. Che tipo di squadra mi aspetto? Una squadra che farà della fisicità una caratteristica fondamentale, applicandola con efficacia sia alla fase offensiva che difensiva, e dove ognuno darà sempre il suo contributo per aiutare il compagno”.

L’esponente di Fratelli d’Italia e presidente del circolo cittadino, Letizia Bagnoli, ha riportato anche un’esperienza diretta per testimoniare i disservizi lamentati dagli utenti: “Parlo anche da cittadina. Mi sono trovata personalmente a dover effettuare ben sei segnalazioni per ottenere il ritiro di un abbandono di rifiuti e, nonostante questo, il problema non è stato ancora risolto. È inaccettabile”.

Nel comunicato, FdI richiama le iniziative già intraprese nei mesi scorsi su questo fronte e contesta l’efficacia dei provvedimenti finora adottati dalla giunta: “Lo avevamo denunciato mesi fa, quando presentammo un’interrogazione sulle foto-trappole e sul degrado legato all’abbandono dei rifiuti. Oggi siamo costretti a constatare che la situazione, anziché migliorare, è ulteriormente peggiorata. Gli annunci dell’amministrazione comunale sulla lotta all’abbandono dei rifiuti si sono scontrati con una realtà ben diversa: il problema continua a essere diffuso in numerose zone della città, mentre i cittadini si trovano spesso a fare i conti con ritardi e disservizi. Già allora avevamo evidenziato come tre foto-trappole fossero del tutto insufficienti per un territorio vasto come quello di Pescia e come molti cassonetti fossero ormai vetusti e malmessi, favorendo situazioni di degrado”.

Secondo l’opposizione, la tutela dell’ambiente urbano richiede risposte tempestive ed efficienti oltre all’attività sanzionatoria: “Ci chiediamo quante persone, esasperate dai mancati ritiri o dai tempi eccessivamente lunghi di intervento, finiscano per rinunciare a seguire le corrette procedure, alimentando ulteriormente il degrado. Chi rispetta le regole non può sentirsi abbandonato dalle istituzioni“.

Il gruppo politico sollecita quindi un cambio di passo nelle garanzie di servizio, con particolare attenzione ai futuri sviluppi della raccolta dati i timori espressi in merito alle imminenti trasformazioni del sistema di ritiro: “Chiediamo all’amministrazione di fare chiarezza sullo stato del servizio, di potenziare realmente i controlli, di aumentare gli strumenti di contrasto agli abbandoni e di pretendere da Alia interventi più rapidi sia nella rimozione dei rifiuti abbandonati sia nella sostituzione dei cassonetti deteriorati. Perché, se queste sono le premesse per l’imminente passaggio al sistema porta a porta, il rischio è che ai cittadini tocchi pagare il prezzo di un’organizzazione che, ancora una volta, si dimostra inadeguata. Pescia merita una città pulita, decorosa e un’amministrazione capace di trasformare gli annunci in risultati concreti”. 

Sara Grilli, sindaca di Viareggio, centrodestra, accetta le scuse e respinge le dimissioni di Rodolfo Salemi, assessore sport, politiche del mare, politiche giovanili.

L’incontro della sindaca con l’assessore martedì 1 settembre dopo la bufera politica scatenatasi per segnalazione posti di blocco via Telegram che sarebbe riconducibile all’assessore.

Vicenda in merito alla quale il deputato toscano Marco Furfaro, Pd, ha presentato un’interrogazione parlamentare al ministro Piantedosi “chiedendo a Piantedosi di chiarire quanto accaduto e, se i fatti saranno confermati, di valutare tutte le iniziative previste dalla legge. Sulla sicurezza servono serietà e rispetto delle Forze dell’ordine, non propaganda a giorni alterni”.

La sindaca Sara Grilli, eletta alle amministrative 2026, in un comunicato, rende noto che “l’assessore ha ricostruito le circostanze nelle quali il messaggio è stato pubblicato, riconoscendo il grave errore e l’inadeguatezza di un comportamento che, proprio in considerazione del ruolo istituzionale ricoperto, non doveva essere tenuto. Salemi ha espresso le proprie scuse alle donne e agli uomini delle Forze dell’ordine, alla sindaca, alla Giunta, a tutti i Consiglieri e alla città per l’imbarazzo provocato, ribadendo al tempo stesso
che non vi è mai stata alcuna intenzione di ostacolare l’attività delle Forze dell’ordine né, tanto meno, di favorire qualcuno rispetto ad un controllo”.

Aggiungendo Grilli: “L’amministrazione ritiene ormai inaccettabile la strumentalizzazione politica
che si sta costruendo intorno alla vicenda”.

Federica Maineri, Pd candidata sindaca che ha presentato ricorso al Tar per annullare le amministrative 2026 che hanno eletto Grilli sindaca al fotofinish: “Ormai siamo oltre la naturale vergogna e lo scontato imbarazzo che una vicenda del genere dovrebbe provocare. La sindaca, dopo giorni di silenzio, liquida in cinque righe la questione Salemi, rifiutandosi di rispondere alle domande della stampa ( lasciata fuori dalla porta del Comune ) e di spiegare davvero alla città perché abbia deciso di respingerne le dimissioni. Trova il coraggio, però, di attaccare ancora una volta le opposizioni. Tutte. Sono le opposizioni che hanno strumentalizzato un “fatto da niente” che con le scuse si risolve.

Sindaca Sara Grilli: “A conferma della volontà di assumersi pienamente la responsabilità di quanto accaduto,
l’assessore Salemi ha inoltre posto nelle mani della sindaca le proprie dimissioni firmate,
rimettendo a lei ogni valutazione sulla prosecuzione del proprio incarico.
La sindaca ha preso atto delle scuse, dell’assunzione di responsabilità e dei chiarimenti forniti
dall’assessore.
Resta fermo il rispetto dell’amministrazione comunale nei confronti di Prefettura, Questura,
Forze dell’ordine e Polizia municipale e del lavoro che quotidianamente svolgono a tutela della
sicurezza della città. Una collaborazione istituzionale concreta e costante, che non può essere
messa in discussione da un singolo episodio, per quanto fortemente inopportuno”.

Quindi sindaca Grilli: “Allo stesso modo, l’amministrazione ritiene ormai inaccettabile la strumentalizzazione politica
che si sta costruendo intorno alla vicenda. Un errore deve essere riconosciuto e chi ricopre un
incarico pubblico ha il dovere di assumersene la responsabilità. Altra cosa è utilizzare quell’errore
per attribuire intenzioni che non ci sono mai state o per accreditare l’idea di comportamenti
finalizzati a interferire con l’operato delle Forze dell’ordine.
Una rappresentazione che non trova riscontro nei fatti e che rischia soltanto di trasformare una
vicenda circoscritta in un caso politico artificiosamente costruito.
Alla luce del confronto avuto questa mattina, delle scuse formulate e dei chiarimenti forniti, la
sindaca ha confermato l’assessore Rodolfo Salemi, che continuerà regolarmente a svolgere il
proprio incarico all’interno della Giunta”.

Pd Viareggio con AVS – FermiMai – M5S – Partito Democratico – Rinnovamenti – Spazio Progressista via social: “Rodolfo Salemi ha presentato le proprie dimissioni: la sindaca Sara Grilli ha deciso di respingerle e di mantenerlo al suo posto. Una scelta politica precisa e gravissima, della quale da oggi porta interamente la responsabilità davanti alla città.

Haier Biomedical Accelerates Its Transformation into an Intelligent Biopharmaceutical Infrastructure Platform at ISPE Singapore 2026 

SINGAPORE, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Haier Biomedical (SHA: 688139) showcased a portfolio of automated and digital solutions spanning key pharmaceutical R&D, production and quality control workflows at the ISPE Singapore Conference & Exhibition 2026, one of Asia’s key pharmaceutical engineering events, held from August 20-21 at Suntec Singapore. At the center of the showcase, the automated –80°C storage solution made its international exhibition debut, while the pilot freeze dryer was also featured, underscoring how Haier Biomedical is building on its leadership in low-temperature storage to provide integrated, multi-category solutions for next-generation biopharmaceutical infrastructure. 

For pharmaceutical companies and research organizations managing high-value samples at –80°C, the automated storage solution combines automated ultra-low-temperature storage with intelligent sample management to improve workflow efficiency and traceability. The Pilot Freeze Dryer helps teams bridge laboratory research and subsequent manufacturing stages by supporting pharmaceutical process development and pilot-scale freeze-drying. Together, the two products address complementary needs across sample management, process development and pilot-scale production. 

During a Power Hour session, Haier Biomedical also highlighted its Smart RFID ULT Storage Solution, designed to connect physical samples with digital records throughout storage workflows. RFID labels provide unique sample identities, while compartment antennas and readers capture data without requiring line-of-sight scanning. Software links each sample to its location and movement history, creating structured inbound and outbound records.  

The configurable system supports mixed sample formats including bottles, bags, tubes, and cryovials, with storage interfaces adapted through customized shelves, trays, and holders. By connecting identity, location, movement and storage conditions, the platform is designed to reduce manual searching and inventory reconciliation while strengthening chain-of-custody visibility across QC, warehousing, and supply chain operations.  

As pharmaceutical operations become increasingly automated, data-driven and quality-focused, customers need more than standalone equipment. They require connected workflows that link samples, devices and data across R&D, production and quality control. 

The exhibition reflected this broader portfolio, with solutions spanning automation systems, ULT freezers, refrigerated centrifuges, freeze-thaw systems, and other technologies supporting pharmaceutical workflows from R&D and production to QC laboratories and cold storage.  

Building on its foundation in low-temperature storage, Haier Biomedical is expanding its global business across laboratory solutions, automation, and pharmaceutical applications, shifting from individual equipment supply toward multi-product portfolios, scenario-specific solutions, and ongoing services. In the first half of 2026, revenue related to pharmaceutical customers increased 23% year over year, while laboratory solutions revenue grew 19%. AI-related businesses accounted for 18% of revenue, up 3 percentage points from 2025. 

By adapting its products and technologies to local regulations, infrastructure and customer needs, Haier Biomedical aims to help customers build smarter, more connected and scalable pharmaceutical R&D and production systems.
