The sculpture represents a mother with a dog and her daughter.

Sardinia is an earth rich in traditions, the local craftsmanship is made out of good workmanship, the wood and the ceramics they are among the materials more used.

1984, bring us to the memory the beautiful book of George Orwell. One of the best books of the contemporary English literature, a deep sadness, spine-chilling, yet it is a marvelous book. The truths in it contained anticipate of decades an unhealthy relationship: the power and the global information. A history that continually comes rewrite in base to the political necessities of the moment. To press the protagonist to not only doubt some history really happened but also of the simple past or of elementary truth.

"Memoirs to have written it in your diary that liberty is liberty to say that two more two do four?"

Can certainly seem pretentious to approach this simple sculpture to the book of G. Orwell 1984, in past they have been realized some beautiful works that represent maternity, yet you try to consider to as is changed in these last two decades. From inviolable symbol to nebulous zone, the lost maternal instinct for road, the "new necessities" dictated by new rhythms and relationships with the job, a maternal figure that is done more and more ambiguous, too often tied up to facts of blood that difficulty has to believe can occur (you see the tragic facts of Cogne). Here that then this representation of a mother that tightens a dog and of her daughter out of the pedestal that tries to embrace, to insert him in this relationship suddenly becomes reasonable, or perhaps expression of an uneasiness not away from the facts that surround us.

TODAY SBLOB S B L O B - 2006-06-30 n.0002s - Hi Man, where do you go?

We perhaps have to be more careful to as we bring the facts of chronicle, we perhaps have to pay great attention to when we vindicate or we push on our necessities or on the necessities of a world exclusively governed by the economy. As it regards me it is same speed in to look for the results to prevent otherwise a banal awareness daughter of the simple good sense. We say that we don't have time for our children, our families and for ourselves: but what do we really do of so important, urgent and unbreakable? We often pursue a working objective that others have established that was crucial for even to set aside later it the day for new conditions and considerations of opportunity arrived unexpectedly. But then that hurry there was, if the objective to have been being can be reached for a week to the other. Evidently any objective main point can so easily change, it was in the best of the cases one of the so many business lines that are able and they perhaps have to be taking in consideration. But you are You, or if you prefer, we are Us to leave to drag us in the vortex of the frenzy working end to herself, we have wanted to believe once more to the mirage of who knows what economic and social conquest.

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is a law of the United States proposed in 2011 to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Proposals include barring advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with allegedly infringing websites, barring search engines from linking to the sites, and requiring Internet service providers (ISP) to block access to the sites. The bill would criminalize the streaming of such content, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
User-content websites such as YouTube, but not only, would be greatly affected, and concern has been expressed that they may be shut down if the bill becomes law. Opponents state the legislation would enable law enforcement to remove an entire internet domain due to something posted on a single blog, arguing that an entire online community could be punished for the actions of a tiny minority. The 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) includes the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act, the copyright owners are required to request the site to remove the infringing material within a certain amount of time. SOPA would bypass this "safe harbor" provision by placing the responsibility for detecting and policing infringement onto the site itself.
This is serious problem Freedom of speech and Freedom of information: The president Obama, mentioned on the Texas Insider: "will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression".
On October 28, 2011, the EFF called the bill a "massive piece of job-killing Internet regulation," and said, "This bill cannot be fixed; it must be killed."
Nancy Pelosi is far from the only member of Congress opposed to the legislation. On Tuesday, ten members of Congress signed a "dear colleague" letter expressing concerns with the bill. The signers were nine Democrats plus Republican Ron Paul, a libertarian-leaning candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.
SOPA, they write, is "overly broad and would cause serious and long term damage to the technology industry, one of the few bright spots in our economy." The representatives warned that SOPA would result in "an explosion of innovation-killing lawsuits and litigation."
Also opposed to the legislation is Republican Darrel Issa. "I don't believe this bill has any chance on the House floor," Issa told The Hill on Wednesday. "I think it’s way too extreme, it infringes on too many areas that our leadership will know is simply too dangerous to do in its current form."
