The Alcatraz Italian Dubbed Free Download

Over the years i would hear drivers saying about parking up and eating at these two places off the A4 autostrada,i have never visited them,can i ask what is good about the places,driving past them,they dont look different to any other truckstop in Italy,i have stopped at some crackers that are in the middle of nowhere,and low population areas,and made to feel very welcome.One of them appears to have ongoing building work going on for over a year now.
Also please add your favourite truckstops.(Not motorways.),i have seen a lot of S&K drivers in a small place near Alesandria,that is allways full early in the afternoon,but cant recall exactly where it was,must be good,full of Italian drivers with Italian registered trucks,not many eastern european drivers and trucks,which is rare these days.
As for that Lavaza coffee,they know how to make it properly.
Used to stop in the alcatraz AKA the sisters at arlurno with my dad if i remember rightly! Is that the place with the big refinery at the back of there? There was a place in gorganzola where he used to stop aswell and very often he used to do groupage as a back load out of a place in veddugio and Fino Mornasco up near como there was a few nice eateries up there. My dad was wondering is the sisters still open? And does anyone know if campogaliano is still open! I am now a truck driver and hoping to go over the water in the new year so would be good to know if these places are still open!
The sisters at Arluno was run by 2 of the sisters of a driver who worked for GBE,they originated from Bournemouth although their parents were Italian. It was a place used alot by GBE drivers as their depot was at Novara , the large parking at the rear of the restaurant was good for getting your truck stolen ,GBE lost 3 from there.

Brescia east truckstop is worth stopping at,pay for parking,there is a special rate for hgv drivers for staying at the hotel,car hire available if weekended,the lakes are nearby to explore.The place has a gym downstairs,restaurants and bars.One restaurant offers a speedy style menu,if you are in a hurry,whereby snacks and starters are available or pizzas and pasta dishes,the bigger resturant has the formal menu,4 to 6 courses for a reasonable price.They have numerous shops too.

On 25th of July 2009, the Free Republic of Alcatraz was founded in Italy; its claimed territory is made of 1.235,53 acres of wood and olive trees between Gubbio and Perugia, in Umbria. The Free Republic of Alcatraz (Libera Repubblica di Alcatraz) is a poetic nation, based on word of honor and mutual respect, according to the founder and leader Jacopo Fo.
Jacopo Fo (born 1955) is an Italian writer-actor and director. He is the son of playwrights Franca Rame and Dario Fo (1997 Nobel Prize in Literature). In 1981, he founded the Free University of Alcatraz, a center for comic therapy and alternative culture, with an organic restaurant, on the Umbrian hills and began teaching demented Yoga. Many of his editorial initiatives will arise from this work of "psychophysical counter-information". Various training activities took place here, from theater to the installation of solar panels. In recent decades, the Free University of Alcatraz association has been involved in spreading the culture of peace, art and ecology in various sectors. The core of the association's philosophy is the culture of laughter. Since 1987 the free university of Alcatraz has been engaged in an information campaign on sweet birth. In 1997 and 1998 two major conferences of clown-doctors and social workers were held in Alcatraz in which Patch Adams, Miloud and Madan Kataria (yoga of laughter) took part in front of 250 students. These conferences give great impetus to the spread of medical clowns in Italian hospitals.
Alcatraz organizes hundreds of courses with tens of thousands of students. These include those of writing with Dacia Maraini and Stefano Benni, those of comics with Andrea Pazienza, Vincino, Angese, Milo Manara and Liberatore, those of theater with Dario Fo, Franca Rame and Mario Pirovano. The didactic activity is also developed by hosting thousands of students of lower and upper secondary schools with special didactic paths that combine the knowledge of nature and the body with the sense of the comic.
The Free University has also organized activities aimed at social groups in difficulty such as drug addicts. There have also been many initiatives aimed at people with mental and physical handicaps, such as (since 1985) the experimentation on the effects of hippotherapy. Another sector of initiative is aimed at the world of work with motivational and communication courses for entrepreneurs, managers, etc. For years, together with Eleonora Albanese, his wife, and with the contribution of other artists, Jacopo Fo has been creating a park with large painted statues. As part of the Free University of Alcatraz project, Jacopo Fo conceived, in collaboration with the female Toponymy association, of a pathwalk about 1500 m long in which to preserve the memory of 40 women who deserve the title of Righteous.
In 2009, was established the Free Republic of Alcatraz, founded in reaction to politics in Italy, then governed by Silvio Berlusconi. The Free Republic of Alcatraz has ecological aims. It reduced its energy consumptions so that the energy produced is more than the used one, and has a zero-waste policy. Alcatraz has its own coins (the Talent), stamps and passports, vegetable plots, its own information channels...
The colourful flag of Alcatraz is flying on the territory of the micronation. It can be seen for example reproduced here with the constitution of the Republic: -repubblica-alcatraz-costituzione
I took a photograph of the flag in situ in July 2015
