Vincent Candela spoke to the microphones of Radio Manà Manà Sport Roma: “The most beautiful derby is the 5-1, in the second half I enjoyed the whole show. However, I also lost 4 derbies in one year, it was not easy. It’s a special challenge, if you win it, it gives you a lot of charge for later matches as well. Sunday is a decisive derby.”

“Roma struggled with Juve, but comes from a positive streak. There is still hope for Champions. Lazio is doing well in Europe and won in Bergamo. I am happy with Saelemaekers return, he was decisive in the first leg and I would still bet on him. On paper Roma is favored, but the derby is a special match.”

“What profile of coach would I see well at Roma? I would like Antonio Conte. He brings up young people, has character and is a winner. He would be the top. There is also Allegri, but my name is Conte.”

He closed on Hummels: “He&#8217s a champion and even champions make mistakes. With his experience he could have made a difference for two more years. Criticism is part of our business.”

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur spoke ahead of the upcoming Formula 1 race in which Lewis Hamilton and Charles Lleclerc are expected to redeem themselves: “The fact that the fourth race of the season is being held in Bahrain gives us the opportunity to measure the progress we have made in the management of the SF-25 compared to the tests of a month and a half ago”.

“We know that we still lack performance to be able to contend with McLaren, and we believe that we need to make progress especially in terms of optimizing the car”.

“It is on this aspect that we will focus in Sakhir, also with the support of those who work in the factory in Maranello. We have to take care of all phases of the weekend in the smallest detail, knowing that even a tenth of a gain can mean staying ahead of some of our rivals both on Saturday in qualifying and on Sunday in the race.”

It is light, which shapes spaces and ideas, the protagonist of the new Speciale de L’Espresso, edited by Emilio Carelli: Design di Luce. A collector’s issue, now on newsstands, embellished with a cover signed by illustrator Emiliano Ponzi and editorial consulting by Paolo Casicci, celebrating light as a key element of creativity and innovation.

Made in Italy is the world’s leading publisher of beauty, Casicci says, with light a metaphor for the future of design. It is a concept that also finds expression in Ponzi’s cover: There is a figure pointing his hand upward illuminated by a cone of light, with the presence of some design objects floating in the air, in a staging of amazement that makes them become something other than themselves, somewhat magical objects. Which is exactly what happens during the week of the Salone del Mobile, says the illustrator.

The Special was presented at the House of Action in Milan, in an event organized by L’Espresso and included in the Fuorisalone calendar. It was an occasion for discussion and inspiration in which talks moderated by the weekly magazine’s journalists took turns, featuring Clara Amodeo, creative director of Outdoora, illustrator Lavinia Fagiuoli and photographers Luca Santese and Marco P. Valli of the Cesura collective. The evening also featured an artistic performance by SteReal, of Outdoora, who painted a canvas inspired by the theme of light, the beating heart of this edition.

Inside the Special, contributions from big names on the international art scene stood out, including Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino, who for Salone del Mobile 2025 signs the project “La dolce attesa.” An installation that reflects on the concept of suspension, transforming the waiting room into an immersive experience: We talk about waiting for a report: that kind of waiting, in life, becomes a suspension of life. When we wait for our fate, all we can do is wait. Our waiting room is meant to be something else. It does not force you to stand still but lets you go. A little trip, like as a child, on reassuring rides, Sorrentino explains.

And again, an interview with American director and set designer Robert Wilson, who for this edition pays homage to Michelangelo’s Pietà Rondanini, exploring its forms and suggestions through light: The interesting thing is to see a project in the context of light, whether it’s in a room or on stage. Looking at the lines of the body and the details of the sculpture, it was the Pieta that guided me. It took me some time to really start seeing it. And I wanted to give the audience time to discover it as well. A dialogue is established between visitors and the sculpture, in the way it responds.

In the pages of the Special, there is also an exclusive interview with photographer Santi Caleca, who talks about his way of interpreting design through the lens: I don’t photograph the object. I try to photograph the thought behind it, thus revealing his method of capturing the essence of each creation.
